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"
For bug reports or fixes for common problems take a look at the Issues page.

Posted Sep 19, 2012Test Server
In order to find and fix bugs and to test this plugin with more people, I invite everyone to my server who wants to play paintball or wants to test this plugin out first.
IP: 188.94.101.22
Server should be online 24/7, but don't wonder if it is temporary not reachable. It is rather new and still under construction.

Did you try it with "TeleportFix" set to false? And could you show me the part of your logfile where it seems to freeze on start?

I mean, when starting up the server, sometimes it sits there for 5 minutes and tries to load the language file. I'll try to remove the whole paintball file, and let things regenerate. If not, then hopefully any releases made could fix that, as it was never loading up that slow in older versions. Also, players were not playing paintball when the lag was happening. Paintball was in for 5 minutes, and everything lagged horribly. The TPS had dropped very low as well.

Alright, then can you add a config option which makes it so that this plugin doesn't control ganemode? (When players join they aren't automatically set to survival, they just stay in the gamemode they were previously in).

i know this glitch, i am just not familiar with this new adventure mode. That's why i am hesitating..
Besides, I don't want to prevent block breaking in general. Admins (paintball.admin permission-node) for example shall be allowed to bypass the block break restriction. (which besides doesn't work in the version i uploaded but is now fixed..)

See, that is the problem. Players can scale two block high walls easily. Adventure mode is the new mode that prevents block breaking... It is gamemode '2'. Creative is 1, and survival is 0.
Glitch description: The glitch jump has been around forever and is well known. It works on walls of 2 blocks in height, to get out of maps, arenas, etc. Basically, you break the bottom block and jump, pressed against the block, whilst it breaks. You get glitched inside the block you broke and the one above it. You then jump repetitively while pressing forward and breaking the top block. Eventually you are on top. This is WITH blocks that replace. All you would need to do is make it so that this plugin sets the gamemode to 'adventure (Gamemode 2)' instead of survival.

I don't know under which cirsumstances this occurs :/
Many people seem to get this error sometimes, and only deleting the paintball.data helps (all stats, arena stuff, etc are lost then).. :(
@Builder874 eggs for grenades and sticks for airstrike.
@h8crew
hm :( could be something with the quick teleport invisible workaround i implemented. Turn this off in the config and test if everyone gets teleported then.. For me it worked, but i just tested it with very few people :/
@chopstick121
what are you talking about?
@MasterGabeMOD
Hmm, turn off the teleportFix in the config. maybe it's because of that (every player gets teleported twice)
what do you mean with, "takes forever to load up"? What makes you thinking it takes long to load the language file?
@SamTheBigs
Try to find it again .. :/ If it's not there remove the config and let the plugin generate a new default one..
@TheFluffey
i am not familiar with this "advernture mode" .. maybe just build a better boundery? (2 blocks up and 1 block in arena direction? -> °|
Time limit and potions are planned, i am just thinking about, what happens if both teams have equal stats..
@mobilephone2003 Hmm :( Errors on reset all? Errors on startup? Reloading works fine for me, but i only tested it with few people.. Are you reloading while people are playing? I do not know if this could be a problem, but i don't have a clue yet..

Posted Sep 16, 2012Every week I reset the stats
Every week it crashes on /pb admin reset all, "Reloaded"....*crash*... on a dedicated server with 16GB RAM and an SSD
Every week when it loads back up, all i get is /pb
Every week I have to *completely* reinstall the paintball and redefine *every* point again
Please fix your reloading

Suggestion: Ability to set a time limit for every game.
Also, more shop items would be like team potion effects for 10-15 seconds.

If you go through the config file for Paintball, there is nothing called "AutoLobby"...
Where would I find that?

Posted Sep 14, 2012I do not know if it's just my server or what, but when I updated this, I started getting severe lag spikes. Only 40 players were online, and TPS dropped to 5 once I updated. I do not think it's a RAM or hardware issue, as I'm running 20GB RAM. I was also told that SurvivalGames and Paintball on the same server can cause issues. Is this true?
Edit Also, the language file takes forever to load up.

Posted Sep 14, 2012Looks like Blue team doesn't get sent to the map on start. They stay in the lobby, Anyone else getting this? (new 1.0.7Pre3 build)
EDIT: On second test, I ran this on a local host with most of the same plugins as my hosted server and it ran just fine. Will do some more testing.
EDIT 2: I tested more and it looks like it only sometimes spawns players to the map on match start. Others get left in the lobby, I also am experiencing issues with the plugin thinking there are people in game still when they aren't even online. Because of this no one can leave the lobby because it thinks there is a match going on. Plugin reload doesn't fix it, only a server restart.

Its a minecraft/bukkit glitch where players can scale walls two high by breaking the top block and jumping. They then get stuck inbetween the first and second block. THen all they need to do is jump and break the top block again. Players get out of maps with it all the time. An option to set everyone to adventure would be amazing.

"block jump glitch" ?
@SamTheBigs
Create a lobby spawn with "/pb admin lobby" spawn and turn in the configs "AutoLobby: true" and "NoPermission: true" if you want geerneral everyone to be able to play paintball and don't want to use the permissions nodes..
@h8crew
You shouldn't have to set the world spawn with essentials/multiverse/etc.
@chopstick121
If your VIP-Rank can be obtained only without paying (I hate pay-for-vip),
you could give everyone else the permission node: "- paintball.shop.not4" and "- paintball.shop.not5" to forbid them to buy stuff from slot 4 and 5 of the shop..

You need to look in the config file and make some changes. Turn off permissions in the config file and force join lobby. Also depending on other plugins you have, you have to set the spawn in the lobby. So if you have essentials, do /setspawn newbies or whatever you have listed in your essentials config file. If you are using multiverse, it also has a "initial spawn" command, same with HomeSpawnPlus. Either way, this plugin does not control that, it is simply a paintball plugin that is meant to be integrated into an existing survival server.
