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"

I probably will do that in the future. For now you could take a look at the '/pb toggle' command: players can use that to turn off the killfeed and some of the other spamming messages.

Posted Jun 11, 2014Hello, this plugin is amazing. Great work, and I guess lot's of hours spent to code this.
One thing though. I noticed that the players sometimes are getting bombarded with notifications in chat and I am wondering if you could modify the plugin so if I don't set a language key, or leave it empty, it won't throw an error.
Sincerely, parat26.

'Choose' what? You already can vote for the next arena via /pb vote. Multiple lobbies is a feature for the future, of the rewrite.

Yes, you can customize most messages by creating a new language file. See the documentation for that.
@rsshelas
Nope. This kind of feature was dropped due to it mostly being abused for commerical purposes. However, you can reward your players in your servers economy, additional to pb cash.
Currently I am even thinking about maybe removing the whole paintball cash thing in the future and replacing it with in-match 'killpoints' for the killstreaks and weapons and maybe 'unlock tokens' for unlocking certain stuff (new killstreaks, weapons, maybe gamemodes) outside of matches. Though I am not sure yet.

Okay, sounds good. I've looked through the config, and I can't find where to disable the separate chat. Could you direct me to that?

Maybe you could create some timing reports (use google for info how to do that) and paste the results of that somewhere (for example at pastebin.com) and leave a link to that here.
Also you could try NoLagg's examine feature to create a report and see if that contains some information.
In general it could also be something caused by another plugin, but triggered by paintball.
@NWmormon
That will be fixed in the next version. I guess that this cannot by solved by an other plugin, but only by paintball itself. The only solution to solve this right now (without waiting for an update of paintball) would be to disable Paintball's separate chat (in the config), or to let the mute/anti-swear plugin change the chat message instead of cancling the event (which is, in the current version, ignored by paintball).

Posted Jun 7, 2014So I've noticed that mute plugins and antiswearing plugins do not work with this plugin because of the separate chat. Does anyone happen to know of a plugin that would mute swearers even in the paintball chat?

Make sure you and your freind(s) have selected proper teams (at least one player in team red and blue, or the 'random' team).
Also make sure that you have set up an ready arena. You can check out your arenas via '/pb arena list' and you get further info on an arena via '/pb arena <name> info'.

Modifications are explicitly prohibited by license. So doing so nevertheless will result in:
If you are working on your own plugin, from scratch, and you have concrete questions I am willing to answer those in order to help you with your plugin.
Also I am accepting feature and improvement requests as long as they don't alter core logic too much, don't break other components of the plugin and have proper use-cases.
One essential aim of the currently being worked on rewrite is (hopefully) easy extensibility for common feature additions like gamemodes, weapons, statistics, etc. via separate addon-plugins.
If you decide that this plugin is nevertheless not exactly what you are looking for and there are no possibilities offered to get it working the way you wish it to work for you, then I friendly ask you to at least strive away from this plugin and look for alternatives, instead of starting to modify and willingly break it's license, which leads in no good for anybody involved.
Thanks.
