Want to help? Looking for documenters and translators!

Hey! I am looking for someone who would be willing to actively get involved in the project.
Currently that would probably mostly mean helping me with creating documentation for the upcoming new and rewritten paintball plugin, but if you have any ideas on how you can contribute to the project beyond that, let me know!
Also I am looking for people who would be willing to maintain a certain translation of the plugin's messages.

If you are interested, feel free to contact me via Private Message.

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

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"
