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"

I am waiting for a new bukkit release, hopefully with a fix for this invisible bug. Right now it's unplayable, if arenas are in different worlds.
Hmm, I could upload a 1.0.7pre version with the translation stuff and some other stuff I did so far..
EDIT:
Uploaded version 1.0.7 Pre. Known bugs: player's will be invisible with a chance of 100%, if they are teleported to an arena in an other world.
when will there be an update my server wont even run it anymore
no updates ??!
@tcadonau
yellow means spectators and green means random right now.
Really happy with this plugin. Put it on my server today and we have been having a blast. Just wish we could have more than just 2 teams. I see the green and yellow circles so i wonder if your meaning in the future to have more than just two teams. I have an outdoors arena with matching castles on each side and tonight im going to work on making a office building with doors and such.
I would love to see some kind of suggestion for capture the flag and also only a few times have we had the invisible player issue.
but your doing great. thanks so much
@blablubbabc
Dang, this is the peoples favorite game on my server. I've heard rumors from Jeb that there will be 1.3.2 so hopefully they will bring out a new RB soon after that :D
Yap I must turn off pb for now... we wait for fix .. bukkit last time is very unstable
@ARavinMadMonkey
1.3.1 seems to make some problems.
Another problem I just found with 1.3.1 is, that players are invisible for each other after being teleported (cross-worlds).
These seem to be some bukkit problems :(
So I am waiting and hoping for a new 1.3.1 recommended build with a fix for these issues..
I am sorry to say, but right now it's unplayable with these problems..
A bug I have found using this on 1.3 is that when a player joins using /pb lobby, a clone is created, this clone takes up a player slot. With the popularity of paintball on my server 40/50 people were clones. I dont know how you would fix this and I dont have any more information unfortunately, there was no errors or anything.
Okay, I am testing translation and localization stuff of bukkit right now. If you look on top of this page you should hopefully find the tab called "Localization".
I uploaded some first translations for english (the default language) and german. I don't garantee that these will not change anymore until the final release of version 1.0.7, but you already can start translating now (hopefully).
Just try this out already and give me feedback.
Maybe I upload a first pre version of 1.0.7 soon, so you can test your translations..
Greetings, blablubb
@OklaMokla
Can you try the following, if it ("arena not ready") occurs again:
Type: /pb arena <name> info
This should show you, why the arena is amrked as "not-ready"
And if it says: "active match" or something, look at the arena, if there are playing players left.
As this seems to occur for others too, more information could help me to find the problem.
Best would be to be able to reproduce the problem..
@kustomcraft
It works on rb 1. Only problem is that after few round it says arena not ready and you need to type "/pb admin reload"
Please update for craftbukkit 1.3.1 RB 1
Awesome plugin! Works perfect on the last bukkit build! Everyone on our server loves it. I have a suggestion, add option in config to enable fall damage in next build, so people can't jump from ten floored houses. Also, if you take damage in PB, you die. I made little donation, I don't have much money :(
@pure07
No problem ;)
@AlphaX93
Yea like most people I was just too lazy to make a ticket my bad. Looking forward to the update my server feels empty without it haha. Thanks for the info
@pure07
He want sure to know it, but not in the comments, for this case of "emergency" we're having the "Tickets", just create one. Its normal that some things in a plugin won't work completly with a newer version of bukkit, blablub must adapt his plugin first to the new Craftbukkit. If the bug is still in 1.3.1 with a newer version of this plugin, wich sure will arrive in the next weeks <- i mean the new version (just for you ;) ) , than you can report that again. But please as an ticket, not as comment. Just wait before your posting reports, for things, that didn't arrive yet. (The plugin isn't updatet yet...again...) hope you understand it now.
PS: Read my last comment again, i didn't mean the thing with the invisible players... if there still questions, feel free to ask me ;)
@AlphaX93
So the author doesnt want to know what to fix when he updates to 1.3.1 it seems to be deleting the player entity entirely?
Also I cant seem to find the post where you mentioned the invis players.
@pure07
pure 07, before posting again such useless comments, read this page before... the Plugin isn't updatet to 1.3.1, as you can see on the top of the Page
In addition, I have already mentioned that in recent comments. The Autor is in vacations, please be patient. Note to yourself: Reading before posting ;)
1.3.1 players cant see each other
