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.

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"

Well, that's the only valid scenario why using vault would make sense then..
Though my stance on your scenario would be, that it becomes a lot more difficulty to balance the paintball shop rewards if players can gain paintball cash not only by playing paintball, but through all your other games as well.
Anyways, as it stand right now it's not possibly to do that with paintball.
However, there are settings which allow you to give your players vault money via paintball (whenever they receive paintball money they additionally receive the configured vault money). Just the other way around is not possible right now.
Regarding giving player's paintball money via command: There is a command, however it can only be triggered from in-game by an admin, and not via console. I changed this after I found a bunch of server selling paintball cash to their players :(.
So it's not useable with your treasure chest plugin as well.

I have a treasure chest plugin and I want players to be able to find the Paintball cash in them. Also, players can't buy money on my server, all money is awarded through minigames. For example, a player plays a minigame, then get awarded some money. With that money they can then buy stuff in minigames and open treasure chests.

There are already plugins which let you add command aliases for other commands. Take a look at those:

I currently don't have plans adding this.
This 'feature' would mostly be abused by server owners to easily sell players paintball money via services like BuyCraft or similar, which is against the usage conditions which you can find above.
What would you need it for?

Make sure that you have pvp enabled on your server, the world and inside your arena.

I don't know yet. I certainly don't want to mention any possible release date and then being not able to deliver until then.
I can only assure you that progress is being made: I started debugging a few weeks ago, trying to get it running in its current form. It is already starting up and most things seem to work quite fine already, however I am not finished with debugging yet.
Everything from the point of matches being started, played and ended are not much tested yet, so I don't know if I encounter anything large which is not working yet.
Also lots of things seem very unfinished to me (at least I am not happy with them in their current state), including things which will be inconvenient for admins if changed after release, like configurations.
I will probably try to release an early alpha-like version (maybe january) in order to get feedback and issue reports. However things will probably be very unstable due to the changes I will still be doing without regards towards backwards compatibility etc., which might cause admins having to recreate their arenas, lobbies, configurations, etc. a bunch of times during this phase.
Probably I am also only providing this first alpha-version to a few individuals, in order to keep the amount of issue reports low and managable.
It certainly will be no easy drag-and-drop update for people currently using the current version. The rewrite is basically a complete new plugin. I will also have to create completely new documentation for it.

It would be great if you release source code because of docs and comments. Anyway, source code is still available by java decompiler ...

Yes, I am still working on it.
Nope. Progress is going slower than expected lately :(
Edit: Actually, only a handful of (not so important) admin commands is missing implementation right now. I think I am going to skip those for now and start debugging tomorrow. How long until release will depend on the issues I run into during initial testing.
Nope. I am still thinking about what the best decision is regarding providing source code or not. My current plan on that is to at least provide the source to the API part of the plugin, and everything which might be relevant for people to successfully write addons for paintball. Beyond that it depends on what my plan will be regarding licensing (ex. if I don't want to allow modifications of the core plugin, providing full source code might cause me more harm than benefits).
