Bukkit

My idea Would be a info board on current game. So it would be a group of signs and appear something like this:

Sign collum 1:                    Sign collum 2:
[Paintball-Red]                              [Paintball-Blue]
[Click To Join]                                   [Click to Join]

Second Sign:                                        Second Sign
[Players:4]                                                   [Players:8]
[Game Time:]                                                  [Game Time]

All Signs Below:
Players alive [team colour]                                       Same as left
colours dead [black]

Another Idea - Ability co customised Death messages ingame and maybe be able to adde several of them and set to random?

@Stingcraft

Will look into "special signs stuff" soon. But wil have to tidy up code a bit I think, maybe even will have to restructure a bit here and there, so I can easier add new stuff :P

@blablubbabc

Ok - What about the death messages? I even got some examples you could add:

[User 1] Shot [User2] in the Face with a Paintball
[User2] Was Destroyed by [user1] Armed With paintballs
Unlucky [user2], You Were knocked Out by [user1]
[user1] Just Smashed up [user2] - get Him [opposite team]

User 1 -killed user2 in these examples

add to list .. start command and how many people must to be to start

theres no real need for a start button or alter minimum because it auto starts after 2 people so it will always start a game when needed?

Another idea - kill Streaks- maybe not with rewards to start with but just a saying in the teams colour. Kill streak names coule be as follows:
1-Non [normal kill]
2-Double Kill
3-Triple Kill
4-Multikill
5-Ultra Kill
6-m-m-m-monster kill
7-Obliterating!
8-Godlike!
9+ - Unstoppable!

Thank you both of you.
Added everthing th the list.

I come up with another idea. Slime balls as smoke grenades. They could cause rapid explosions for smoke for a certain time. Also added to shop possibly.

@Stingcraft

I already tried "smoke".
But unfortunately, minecraft allows players to disable particles (so smoke can't be seen), and many explosion create a great amount of noise, as it is not possible at the moment to easy split the visual and the audio part of a explosion from the effect. :(

I already had all the code done, but removed it already again because of these reasons..
But I made it with enderperls, as slime balls can not be thrown, no?

Greeting, \ bla

@blablubbabc U can program them to be thrown. As for that ok. I go some more ideas though. 1) automatic rankup/rankdown with points. 2) ability to shrink player border from edge to middle of the arena after so long to prevent camping/long games 3) win put in /broadcast

EDIT: Another idea - Possibly have an official example server - I am offering mine :) EDIT: Player Bounty - when the number one player is fragged u get times 2 reward for getting the number 1 :)

can you add options to change that the plugin will use its economy system or I can chose server economy

@sync667

The plugin is designed for stand alone. This would need to be optional if considered.

@Stingcraft

so i say add option to change default to other
i think it is optional

Agreed as optional. More ideas: 1) make the shop via signs too as typing commands hard mid battle. 2) enable customisation of chat colouring. 3) nuke ability - hits entire arena with snowballs or does /nuke but only to players playing and with snowballs.

arena is using we selection ? if not can you add that possibile in next version

Quote from Features

• Freedom of the proportions and the layout of the terrain / the arena. Easily create and manage multiple arenas. Already with 3 commands an arena is operational.

• There is no other plugin or modification needed to play paintball! Nevertheless, we attach great importance that there occur no problems in combination with other plugins.

So, there is no need for a WE-Selection... .

Addition: You can design your arena the way you want. Even with the use of WE.
Doing the /pb arena [name] command has nothing to do with the actual building of an arena. It just "registers" an arena.

can you do better permission system .. for example I what add my operators node for reset arena etc.

hmm, it is possible, but it will produce some new problems, as the permissions-nodes aren't only used for the access to the commands, but also at many places for exmaple to allow the bypassing of certain things, and it would destroy the structure, I built my plugin in (general, arena and admin)..

hm hm.. Anyway, what do you mean with "reset arena" ? Giving them the paintball.arena node would be to much?
