Installation - PaintballWarEdition/Paintball-Wiki GitHub Wiki

You must have Spigot (https://www.spigotmc.org/) installed on your server.
Usually every Paintball release will state which versions of Spigot/Bukkit it is compatible with.

Paintball bundles all its required dependencies within one Paintball-<version>.zip file:

• Armory: This plugin provides the weapons and other related gadgets. You can find more information about it in the separate Armory-Wiki.
• BlaCommon: This plugin provides common utilities and code shared between Armory and Paintball (and potentially other projects).

A few additional features require the following plugins to be running on your server:

• Vault for Vault Rewards
• Votifier or NuVotifier for Votifier Rewards
• Individual Signs for individual Statistic Signs

1. Stop your server.
2. Download the latest version of Paintball from here.
3. Always read the changelogs: These can contain important notices about known issues, or special updating instructions.
4. Extract the Paintball-<version>.zip file and move all contained files into your server's plugins folder: Paintball-<version>.jar, Armory-<version>.jar and BlaCommon-<version>.jar
5. Start your server.
6. Check the complete console output / server log: If all went well there should be no errors, stack traces, or warnings.

Paintball will create its base directory inside the server's plugins folder at:
<serverRoot>/plugins/Paintball/

The whole directory structure looks like this:

../plugins/ # The server's plugins folder
    +--Paintball/ # Base directory for Paintball
        |-- addons/ # Addons can create sub-folders for their data inside here
        |-- arenas/ # Contains the arenas
        |-- gamemodes/ # Contains sub-folders for the different gamemodes
        |-- languages/ # Contains language files
             |-- addons/ # Addons can place their language files here
             |-- core/ # Contains the language files for Paintball itself
                 |-- default_enUS.txt
                 +-- ..
        |-- lobbies/ # Contains the lobbies
        |
        |-- config.yml # Stores the core Paintball settings
        |-- data.db # SQLite database file which stores player info and statistics
        |-- levels.yml # Stores the levels
        |-- loadouts.yml # Stores the loadouts
        |-- playlists.yml # Stores the playlists
        |-- shop-items.yml # Stores the shop items (for use in shops)
        |-- shops.yml # Stores the shops
        |-- version.dat # Contains versioning information (don't modify this!)

Paintball should work right out of the box after successful installation.

• In case you are running some sort of permissions plugin on your server, take a look at the Permissions page to assign your admins and players the correct Paintball-related permission nodes.

• While the default configuration of Paintball should work just fine for most servers, you might want to look through the available options and adjust whatever you need. Take a look at the Configuration page.

• To get everything setup in-game and your first Paintball matches running, take a look at the Basic Setup page.
