Hey!
I haven't found much time to work on this project lately. If you want to contribute, the source code can be found here: https://github.com/PaintballWarEdition/PaintballLegacy
Feel free to open pull requests, but try to keep the changes per PR minimal to reduce the time required to review them. If you have larger or more complex changes in mind, feel free to contact me to discuss them before you start working on them.
We also started to move the documentation over to Github: https://github.com/PaintballWarEdition/PaintballLegacy-Wiki/wiki
But this can certainly be improved. If you want to help with the documentation, feel free to contact me and send me your Github username.
If you can contribute and maintain translations of the plugin, or have other ideas of how you could contribute, let me know as well!
Thanks.

Paintball is a fast paced and action packed multiplayer game.
In the classic TeamDeathMatch mode 2 teams compete against each other to bombard each other with snowballs. Once a player is hit, he's out and automatically leaves the arena and has to wait in the paintball lobby for his mates to finish and the next match to start. In the Paintball lobby you will meet all paintball players, choose your team and wait for enough players, or the end of the last match. When all conditions are met, a countdown starts which announces the next match.
Some license stuff:

Quote:Our main target is to keep this plugin easily integratable on any standard survival server without disturbing the survival feeling. You don't have to dedicate a whole server or world to this plugin!

Basic-Features
Paintball is constantly expanding. There are more and more features added which have not much to do with the classic paintball game. But do not panic: According to your personal preferences you can modify or disable most things in the config.yml in the Paintball folder.
- No client or server modifications or additional plugins are required !
- Multiple Arenas: Build as many arenas as you like !
- Complete freedom on what your arena looks like! As Paintball does not care about your arenas borders, your arena can have any shape and layout, as long as it is impenetrable. Simple build some sort of wall around your arena to keep your players inside.
- Multiple Spawns: Paintball lets you define multiple spawn points for each team (red, blue, spectators) !
- Automatic-Lobby-Arena-System: The Paintball lobby will automatically rotate through all your ready arenas. No need for administrators to be online !
Limitation: Currently there can always only run one match at a time.
- Easy: No complex setup needed ! Only 4 commands and your arena is ready and added to the automatic arena rotation !
- Mechanism to strictly seperate Survival and Paintball and to prevent "cheating" in and with Paintball.
- Easy and individually adjustable small Shop, where you can buy ammunition or other special and unique "weapons", gadgets and power-ups with the Paintball-Cash earned during the matches.
- Ranking: Your players gain points to compete with each other !
- Various statistics: examples are Points, Cash, Kills, Deaths, Hits, Shots, KD, Accurancy, Teamattacks, Wins and Defeats for each player, each arena and as a whole.
- Toggleable Killfeed ! Turn it off if it spams you !
- Most stuff is configurable ! For advanced information click here.
- Much, much more!
Easy integration on every survival server!
Our main target is to keep this plugin easily integratable on any standard survival server without disturbing the survival feeling. Players shall not be able to swindle items or gain other advantages over survival players through Paintball.
Here you got some sort of overview what actions are taken to protect the survival-part of the server:
People with the 'paintball.admin' permissions node can bypass some of them.
- Prevent commands that are not related to Paintball. So player can't teleport or use commands as a benefit.
- Prevent breaking and placing of blocks.
- Prevent dropping and picking up items, or dropping the armor.
- Options to let players only join with full health or hunger so they can't escape during fights.
- Options to save the players inventory when joining the lobby and restore afterwards.
- Paintball inventory is cleared when leaving the lobby.
- Turned off damage and starvation inside the lobby.
- Many things can be disabled if they create problems with your other plugins.
- Explosions do no damage to blocks.
- Only Paintball players receive the Paintball messages. Your other players will not get spammed.

Additional information
Hint about version checking and stats collecting:
This plugin is checking dev.bukkit.org for new updates. This can be disabled in the config with the setting "Server.Version Check".
This plugin is also doing some periodically stats tracking to mcstats.org which helps me to determine how many servers are using it. This can be disabled with the setting "Server.Metrics".
And the plugin is also sending some stats to blablubbabc.de to maybe prepare for some kind of later serverlist (a list of paintball servers). Currently those data are only stored in a non-public mysql table on my server.
- This means that this plugin is sending some general information about the minecraftserver, like: ip-adress, port, servername, slots, motd, bukkit version, if server is in onlinemode and if it has whitelist enabled.
- And some information about paintball like: how many players already played paintball there and if it is an paintball-only server (autolobby enabled) and if the server admin wants the server to be listed at some kind of public server list later, when it is finished.
→Those data are currently only send once every reload.
→ For people who don't want to share these informations with me :( → you can en- and disable this in the serverlist config (plugins/Paintball/serverlist.yml) with the setting "post enabled"
For bug reports or fixes for common problems take a look at the Issues page.

For some servers the default file encoding does not support minecrafts color character § .. Maybe you can find a solution to change your servers default file encoding to something like utf-8.
However the next version will transform all § to &, which then hopefully should be supported by your servers current default file encoding.

A simple check, if pvp is enabled, is, to punch some players there, while not playing paintball. If you can't, pvp is still disable...
I can't get pvp to work for you, because each plugin can potential disable pvp in a world. I just can tell you, that it will not work if pvp if disabled in the server properties or the world (world management plugin often dis-/enable pvp for worlds, so check your world settings from your world management plugin).
If you can hit players, outside of paintball, pvp is enabled. If paintball still won't register the snowball hits, the only reason would be an other plugin conflicting with paintball because of overwriting bukkits internal code of players: I know from 'CommandSigns' and 'Commander' that those plugins are doing this.

I can't fix that for you.. In order to get it working you will have to get pvp working in the arena. For that make sure that the server (server.properties) has pvp enabled and that the world has pvp enabled (plugins like multiverse can block the pvp for a world).

Make sure you have read the hints at the end of the "How to start" or at the "BugTracker" page or the FAQ page. This is a common problem, so it's explained there, how to "fix" it :)

Thanks, added it to the translation page.

You can't display game info of a special arena. The signs will only display player stats. Read here how to use them.

Okay, I just tried your file.
I encoded it with utf-8 without bom in notepad, then let it load from paintball, then it printed a warning that there are too many " in line 320, I fixed it and now it is running.
(WEAPON_FEED_GRENADEM2 = "{killer_color}{pre_killer}{killer}s{after_killer} {feed_color}grenade was picked up by &r{target_color}{pre_target}{target}{after_target} &4(Tué avec une grenade M 2)"" <
-remove one of those " there)Make sure it is really encoded in utf-8.. Maybe copy the text, change the file encoding to utf-8 and then paste the text into the file.
Without the encoding (utf-8 without bom) it will not work and will print the strangest errors due to the special characters..

Have you put all the key-value pairs of translation in there?
Maybe there are special characters, but your file is encoded in ANSII / ASCII -> encode it to utf-8 in a text editor like notepad plus plus
ALso check this page out for all the needed information and hints about what can go wrong and how to fix it: dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/paintball_pure_war/pages/documentation/translations/

Maybe. But there are other things with higher priority at the moment..
I also plan to move the arenas out of the sql database into -yml files, in order to more easily add stuff.
And I am also thinking about seperating general, wepaon, and gamemode statistics into seperate database tables etc..
So before I implement the current database into mysql, I want to restructure it completly. And before that, I want to restructure the plugin, to allow different gamemodes and methods for developers to add new content for paintball.
