DeathCannon
About
I've been reading the Hunger Games series and I found the way that they announced the deaths in the arena with the cannon and the announcement at night was really cool, so I decided to replicate the same thing in plugin form (Panem anthem not included).This plugin won't really change any game mechanics, it simply replicates how death is dealt with in the Hunger Games arenas.
Features
- Thunder sounds every time a player is killed.
- Death messages and causes will not be displayed as they happen, only the thunder indicates a player has died.
- Death messages and causes are saved and displayed only once a day after sunset, just like in the series.
Configuration
When using this plugin for the first time, a config.yml will generate for you in the plugin directory. There are two options.
- World: [world name] This indicates the world that the plugin will keep track of the time in. Deaths will only be displayed after sunset in that world.
- AllWorlds: [true/false] This is whether or not you would like to have thunder and the death displays in all of your worlds or just the world listed in the first config option.
Installation
Just drag the DeathCannon.jar file into your plugins folder and restart your server (reloading not recommended). An editable config.yml (for settings) file and database.yml (for storage) file should automatically generate for you.
NOTE: You must be using Java JRE7 on your server to use this plugin! If you are getting an "UnsupportedClassVersionError", then you are using JRE6 and that is the reason why the plugin isn't working!
To-Do
- Requested features that someone may suggest.
- Fix any bugs that may occur. I greatly encourage and appreciate bug reports!

Announcement
I am also going to be working on a full Hunger Games plugin. Planned features include thirst, energy, map rollback, automatic chest filling, repeating rounds, and many more! We will be releasing Beta versions soon! Check out the plugin on it's bukkitdev page:

Posted Apr 25, 2012Would it be possible to make sure that the lightning and death messages only appear in the world that is set in the config? For my Server, i'm hoping to include the districts in a seperate world, yet the Cannon still sounds upon death...

Oh! That's a good idea, I could set that as the default world. Or at least try to. Thanks for the suggestion.

I changed my config file: world: TheHungerGames and the errors stopped. Might be useful if you could grab the world for the config from server.properties :)
Otherwise, awesome plugin!

java 7 64bit. Seems to be causing lag to run high. This message is generating every 20 seconds or so.

Posted Apr 21, 2012It is nearly impossible to get Java 7 for the Mac and I don't have time to try and figure it out. Will you please reconsider redoing this in Java 6?

Because 7 is the latest version. I am sorry of course that JRE6 users can't run this, but this isn't the only plugin that requires this. Upgrading to JRE7 is quite painless.

I would suspect that most decent hosts would allow you to run JRE7. I'm pretty sure mine does at least.
