ArenaPaintball
A Paintball plugin where players can queue and will join a free paintball arena to fight it out with highly damaging snowballs. You can make more than one paintball arena and players will cycle through them. If all arenas are in use, the players are kept in the queue and will join when one opens up.
Installing
- Put the ArenaPaintball.jar in your plugins folder, along with BattleArena.jar
Making a paintball arena
- /pb create <paintball arena name>
- /pb alter <paintball arena name> 2 <- setup a second spawn, you can keep adding them if you want more than 2, like /pb alter <paintball arena name> 3
Joining
- /pb join
Permission Node
- Players will need the permission node arena.join.paintball
Requirements
- BattleArena, Paintball is built around the BattleArena API.
- Optional BattleTracker : If you want /pb top, or player ratings
ScreenShots
Help
- BattleArena wiki: The majority of paintball options are set using BattleArena
- Adding Signs : support for joining/leaving and status
- IRC: You can ask me questions in real time on irc when I'm on. IRC through a browser
@briankdk
As far as I know, no one has created a video, but after you give people the permission node arena.paintball.join then do the 2 commands up above everything should work.
I'll see if I can make a youtube video/s, as you aren't the first to ask this!
any youtube videos ? ( i cant find any....)
@maddpoop243
They can already do that.
Or they can just quit
Can i also config it so they can leave the paintball arena once theyve joined?
As a warning!!
I have updated the configs, but in a new version of craftbukkit the itemStack snowball is no longer valid. You should change it to snow_ball, and do a reload.
@Saeberin
Is your server up right now?
try doing a reload. /pb reload
Otherwise there should be some errors on startup. Or maybe PaintballConfig.yml is in the wrong place. It should be inside ArenaPaintball/PaintballConfig.yml
Paintball Arena, everything is working it seems except for the paintballs. There is a line that says
items:
- snowball: 128
But the inventory is completely clear on spawn in the arena.
When spawned, The text above says. you have been given __ (blank)
An ideas. I used the PaintballConfig.yml on the webpage
@OnboardBrute01
like continuously in the queue? no there isn't a command for that, but maybe there should be?
For the event spleef, espleef command. You can do continuous events that run all the time, but they would still need to join unless you force them, see below example. The command is BattleArenaScheduler (bas for short)
Could you please tell me a way to make it so you only have to join once and it continues cycling?
@maddpoop243
Only the people that join the paintball will have it, and you can configure the arenas so they can't leave.
So no it won't change your entire server into a free for all paintball mess :)
One question when i install this plugin for my server will it change the whole server into a Paintball server or will it be contained in Arenas?
@cmasson
I want to introduce leaderboard signs. That's on the list of things to do!
The lag is something i can't do anything about as it's based off of 1) how fast the server can send the chunk packets to the client 2) how fast the client can render the new scene.
For the factions. Make the arenas warzones. I want to put this in automatically but Factions doesn't have any way to do it through code yet.
and thanks!
hey, could you make signs who show the leaderbords? And do you have an idea to reduce the lag it creates when people gets teleported to the arena's (maybe it is because the arena's are far away). When you are fragged the game registers it as a death, can you maybe change it because we have factions and people loose power. again ty for the awesome plugin!
@ceddy3000
There is nothing in arenas that would cause that sort of crash, especially not the option random respawn which does almost nothing. There is probably some other cause.
It might be a possibility that Paintball and some other plugin are conflicting, but even that shouldn't cause any crashes.
PM me your plugin list and I'll see if there are any plugins that might do this.
@alkarinv
Crashes minecraft itself. Ill try to reproduce to see the actual error.
@ceddy3000
What do you mean crash on death? like they can't respawn? or get kicked out?
When randomRespawn is on some players sometime crash on death
@Veleno92RF
just change the number of players on each team to something greater than 1.
Check this out.
https://github.com/alkarinv/BattleArena/wiki/Configsetup#wiki-Changing_the_number_of_players_on_each_team
also you can do Event paintball, events can have any number of teams/players. create an event paintball arena. Example
a group of players on the same side
for example Red Team VS blue team
@Veleno92RF
I dont think I understand the question.
A team is either 1 player or a group of players on the same side.
