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"

Posted Aug 24, 2013Hey ich schreibe ma in Deutsch ;)
Irgendwas stimmt nicht oder so, denke ich... :DDD
Wenn man Ingame ist werden die Ränge die ich eingestellt habe richtig angezeigt, aber wenn man /pb rank eingibt, steht der reguläre Rang dort zB. "Private" obwohl ich ihn zu "noob" umgeändert habe. Halt nur Ingame zeigt er es richtig an.

What exactly would you include in that plugin? I don't want that you include the plugin jar or code from it.. You can include information about it.

All players which are in the lobby will be brought into the arena when the match starts.
You can limit the number of players which can join the lobby in the config.
If you have team selection enabled, it will not (yet) restrict team sizes: if there are 100 players in the lobby, there can be 99 players in team red and 1 player in team 1 ..
Nope, currently only Team Death Match. More gamemodes are defently planned.

You can change the colors by creating a "new translation". Also, I removed the page where I linked you to, in order to update it. For more about how to create a "translation" and on information on the configuration, check out this page: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/paintball_pure_war/pages/documentation/
Yes, it is. Paintball has some simple kind of Command Signs built in. I think by default your write something like:
[Paintball]
pb join
on your sign.

Ranks consits of the chat prefix and the armor in the lobby ( can both be disable in the config in the ranks section) and the shop-rank restriction, which can be disabled by setting the needed rank of your shop items in the config to 0.

This is because your servers encoding doesn't support § in files..
It should be fixed in the new version, as the §'s were replaced with &... Maybe try to remove your ranks.yml file, so it get recreated by the plugin.
Edit: Oh, I just checked.. It seems I have forgotten to include this in the last update :/ I will upload a new version now.

Posted Aug 23, 2013(With the new update) this is happening.

Any ideas?
It happened before EssentialsChat was installed, and it happened it the previous update as well. (Not tested before that)
As a workaround i disabled it, but it would be very cool if it can be enabled again.

Translators will have to adapt the changes to the default langauge to their translation.

If you are refering to the current vote about my plans of removing the /pb red|blue command:
The only way to make teams fair is to disallow them to choosen their team freely. Instead they could be limited to join a team if it would mean unfair conditions, or one does focus on the idea behind choosing a team: allowing people to somehow tell the plugins that they want to play together with certain players -> this could for example be done via a party feature, where players can group toghether and the plugin will try to keep those smaller groups (smaller then only 2 groups red and blue) toghether where possible.
