Solved 2 big plugin problems - essentials and paintball

COLORED NAMES FIXED:
I uploaded my server to MCprohosting and for some reason that fixed it....

PAINTBALL INVISIBILITY:
This version of paintball is not compatible for 1.8 as i am using the 1.8 patch.

1st Error:
I made a join kit for my server so when someone joins the hub it gives them my "Gamemode Selector" and "Particles" selector, but a after every now and then (Does this with every colored item) it puts a weird symbol at the start.




2nd Error:
Ingame in paintball players cant see each other items they are holding or armor, i dont know why, i just updated to the spigot 1.8 patch, and here is a pic of all my plugins, please help!
