PaintWar
Gameplay
Every player in the PaintWar arena has a random wool color, when you move you will "paint" a circle of colored wool on the ground. During the game you can get certain powerups by picking up special items, which help you or make it difficult for the others to fill an area with their color. Every game has a time limit which can be configured in the config. When the time is over, the blocks for every player are counted and the player who has painted the most blocks with his color wins the game. The winner can get a reward, which can also be configured in the arena's config! After a game is over, the floor will return to its original state.

Did you use version 1.0.2 when this error came up? It's important because line 377 is different in 1.0.2 and 1.0.3_Dev.

Posted Nov 3, 2013This still starts a player off with one colour then changes it about 1 sec later, when the arena re-gens it leaves the paint on the floor (the original colour it does for a sec)
After 20 plays the Arena is a mess..
This is using the Dev version...
It seems ok with 2 people but messes up when 3 or more join...

Yeah sorry for that, the last version I uploaded (1.0.2) was focused on fixing bugs and cleaning up code. Somehow I messed something up because I didn't looked carefully at the code and didn't test that much!

Posted Oct 24, 2013Also when players start it gives them a colour like red, then changes it straight away, the original colour stays on the arena floor and does not clear/reset when the games ends...

Posted Oct 17, 2013I have a problem to autostart a game. Everybody make "ready" and in the chat were shown the message "you were marked as ready", but the game didn“t start. The game only starts when i make /pw start <Name>. Automatic_Start is true in the config. I also tested with differend percents and player_amounts in the config.
Anybody with the same problem?
BTW - great plugin, it make a lot of fun to play ;-)

Posted Oct 12, 2013Fun Game. Players love it.
I made the floor out of white wool.
My question/request is that the random colors that the players are given sometimes match the floor color. Causing a bit of confusion. Is there a way to add a config option NOT to use a certain color for the players.
No big deal but it would be nice.
Thanks.
