What is it?

Team paintball, up to 5v5. One hit splats you, you are back in three seconds, and the team with more kills when the clock runs out wins.

It is an addon for RP Engine: drop it in beside the engine and it brings everything with it. The markers, the masks, the grenade, the paint, the sounds, the HUD and the scoreboard install themselves on first boot. Players need nothing installed.

What it does

• ✔ Markers that shoot where you aim: hold right-click to fire. Every ball is fired so that, drop and all, it lands on the crosshair; from the hip it strays by the spread the crosshair shows.
• ✔ Aim down the sights: left-click to look through the marker's sights, zoomed in, slower on your feet and with no spread.
• ✔ Grenades: right-click to throw. It recharges in your hotbar.
• ✔ Paint everywhere: every ball leaves a splat in its team's colour on whatever it hits.
• ✔ A full-screen HUD: the score and clock, a kill feed, ammo and the grenade's recharge, a hit marker, the countdown, and who splatted you while you wait to come back. No titles, no boss bars.
• ✔ A scoreboard: press F for both teams' kills, deaths and accuracy, with every player's face.
• ✔ Pick a side: choose red or blue in the lobby, or let it balance the teams for you.
• ✔ Arenas in one command: /pb arena generate builds a speedball field where you stand, ready to play.

Playing

Installing

1. Install RP Engine 0.2.3 or newer (free) if you have not already, and set it up so players get its resource pack.
2. Drop RPE-paintball.jar into plugins/ beside RPEngine.jar and start the server.
3. Its content installs into plugins/RPEngine/content/paintball/ and the engine reloads once to pick it up.
4. Stand somewhere open and run /pb arena generate <id> confirm to build a field.

Commands and permissions

paintball.play grants the three player nodes and paintball.admin grants every staff node, so either still works as a one-line grant. paintball.bypass.commands (operators) lets a player in a match use any command, not only chat and /pb.

Configuration

plugins/RPEPaintball/config.yml holds the match length, a kill limit, respawn time, fire rate, ball speed and drop, spread, the grenade's recharge, each team's marker colourway (ember, tide, toxic, sunset or gold), and every word a player reads.

The HUD and the scoreboard are ordinary RP Engine content, drawn in ResourcePack AI Studio, so you can restyle them or point the config at your own.

Support

Ask on Discord or open an issue on GitHub. Please don't post bugs in the reviews; we can't reply there, and we would rather fix it.

Made by ResourcePack AI

Paintball is built on RP Engine's public API, the same one any plugin can use. Its HUD, scoreboard, markers and sounds were made in resourcepack.ai, a web editor for resource packs.
