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:

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"

I will, when I am done with the "multiple lobbies" feature. New join signs will be added then, which also show the state of the lobby and how many players are in there.
@Iwitrag
Sounds like the idea for some kind of add-on. I will add this to the ideas list.
Maybe, somehow. I will not look into mysql before the rewrite is done.
However, if your webserver and your minecraft server are running on the same machine, you can already read the values from the sqlite database file via php and display it on your website.

No MySQL support here, but it will be someday...
@blablubbabc
I want use command blocks in arenas and some buttons which will give players some extra snowballs and granates for free (but players will need to climb there and it's not easy).
Another question about DB: I see pbdata_110.db in FTP - is it possible to convert it to MySQL with PHP somehow? So I would be able to make leaderboards :)

Can you add a sign that says how many people are in the lobby / play paintball?

Nope.
I can't just right away work on that, because I have plans to redo the sql table structure and stuff. And for doing that I want to first have the arena, lobby, weapon and gamemode stuff done (because they could have to store things in the database as well).
So starting with mysql at the beginning would just be a waste of time and effort, as database and storage things will change.

You can also simulate that pb join command with command blocks... I have room with buttons and each button does something else - like mob arena join, paintball join, spleef join, etc... :) Just a tip.
blablubbabc do you think that it is possible to make MySQL connection with your plugin somehow by myself? (another plugin ? ) I know it's in your todo list but there are lot of things you would like to do and I know that this MySQL connection is not that important as some other things and improvements...

Everthing from the player stats (you get a list when you type in /pb stats). Note that some stat names were shorten (hitquote -> hq) because they wouldn't fit on the sign otherwise.
Also note, that there are 2 types of signs for each stat: [PB_POINTS] works with InSigns (another plugin) and [PB POINTS] updates when being clicked.
No. First of all: players don't join a map, they join a lobby. So instead of MAP : NAME, there should be written LOBBY : NAME .
However, there are no signs of that form yet, because currently there can only be one lobby. I will add them, when it is possible to create multiple lobbies.

I have no idea what you mean with "the sands". There are join signs:
First line: "[Paintball]"
the other lines you put your command, for example: "pb join"
To enter paintball they have to type "/pb join" (or click one of those command signs). If it doesn't work, create a ticket and describe your problem (in a way I can understand it).
Between, I doubt that that it will work out very well if you seriuously try to play paintball with 800 players at the same time.. If you have that many player the only way to properly let them play paintball is to set up multiple servers. Also, there is some player limit in the config which is by default set to 1000 (which is practically no limit).
There are signs: command signs (join signs) and stat signs.
Note: I do not understand you very well.. :(

Yes, but only very simple ones: "[Paintball]" on the first line and any command on the second, for example "pb join".
No. You can only join the lobby, not a specific arena. In the lobby all players can vote for the next arena which will be played.

Posted Oct 14, 2013Are there join signs? :) And instead of doing /pb join can you join each arena by a sign? Thanks!

Nope. Only weapons bought from the shop will work in paintball.
I see no need for giving paintball items via /i or /give: players shouldn't have access to those commands and admins can buy infinite from the paintball shop anyway.
If you can explain me what you are trying to do, I might think about an alternative solution.

Posted Oct 14, 2013Hello,
is it possible to somehow get items from shop without buying it? Like with command from essentials /i item amount
I have tried /itemdb and it shows for example Snowballs 332 #4
But when I try to execute command /i 332#4 64
Then it doesn't work...
