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

Everything on translating/ changing message can be found here: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/paintball_pure_war/pages/documentation/translations/
The default language file gets renewed on each plugin start and is the one it defaults to if your custom file is invalid.

Posted Apr 6, 2014Hello Mr. Blab, I may have found a potential bug, but it may not be. I'm not sure, but I was trying to customize the Paintball messages in the language folder (enUS.txt) and when I reloaded the plugin, nothing had changed to what I edited to.
Is this file purposely not supposed to be changed by the user or can you actually edit it and I'm doing something wrong or it's a bug?
Thanks for your help & Cheers! :)

Thanks for noticing that. I created a ticket for you so that I don't forget to fix that: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/paintball_pure_war/tickets/245-mute-or-tempmute-not-working-due-to-seperate-chat/
@AluCraftV3
You have to enabled pvp on your server and the paintball world, in order for this plugin to be able to detect the snowball hits. You can disable pvp via other plugins (like for example worldguard).

Worldguard sollte eig. nicht die snowgolems blocken können.. Hast du schon probiert ob sie überhaupt mit mob spawning an spawnen können?
@BucketConfigured
I am working on something like that, but I currently don't have that much time for it due to exams, and also it will work slightly differently:
You will basicly be able to create multiple lobbies instead of binding the lobby to one arena only and be able to setup per-lobby arena rotations etc.
The join command ignores any additional arguments, like arena names. Later you will be able to select a lobby by that.

Posted Mar 29, 2014Hello! First off, big fan of the plugin and the way you designed and formatted it. Secondly, I have a suggestion, unless it's already a feature and I'm blind.
I think it would be really cool if you could add per game/match lobbies, meaning for each arena you make, there is a specific lobby point you go to when you join the game, when you die & etc.... Lastly, I'm not too sure about this one, because it just recently came out and haven't done much testing with it, but do the signs correspond with different arenas. Because there is no arena name on the sign (ex: third line <arena-name>) so I'm not sure if when you right click one, it just goes to 1 arena made or if it goes to the arena it's supposed to go to. (if this made any sense, reply back if it didn't =P )
Cheers! Great plugin!

You need to have PvP enabled or if using world guard do a flag in the region for your PaintBall arena.

Update InSigns to version 2.0 and that error should be gone.
I will remove your comment because it's spamming the comment section quite a lot ;-)

Effects for weapons? If you mean different weapon behavior: what changes would you have in mind? I would prefer adding complete new weapons and gadget, rather than having many very similar weapons which only differ slightly in bullet spray and cooldowns..
@Laessen
You can find all needed information about how to change the language file in the documentation. Short answer: don't modify the existing file, but copy and rename it.
I will take a look at gamemode related stuff later.

Posted Mar 28, 2014If a match ends (the timer finishes) before one of the players has lost all of their respawns (overall lives) it says it is a tie even if one player has more kills than the other.
Could you change this so that the player with the most kills wins?
Also, I can't change anything in the language file, the server just resets it every time. The same thing goes with the Ranks file, I cant even change the name and points each rank requires. It would be really nice to have a bit more control over those kinds of things.
Is this just a glitch for me or is it something you could change?
Thank you
