DeathNotifier - Broadcast Deaths!
DeathNotifier notifies the world of deaths with configurable random messages. This plugin has grown from only able to broadcast deaths in game to be able to broadcast deaths in IRC. Features have soon been modulised to suit the needs of various people. I welcome feature and module requests, just ask, I don't bite.

Configuration
Configuration
The configuration of DeathNotifier is simple and easy. Basicly edit each option by adding or removing new messages.
The default messages are just examples, use your creativity, I will not provide more messages. (Unless a new death cause were to appear and I have to give it default messages)
Variables in messages include: %player (The killed player), %opponent (The player who killed) and %weapon (The weapon the killer used)
Messages can be per world and the delay between messages can be configured in seconds. Everything that is not a tool will not have its name shown exactly. To enable the names of all items, it is also configurable.
Commands
Commands
| Command | Description |

Colour Codes
Colors can be used in messages.
Here is a list of colour codes and the colour it represents:
#==============================================================# # COLOUR CODES # # &0 (black), &1 (dark blue), &2 (green), &3 (dark aqua), # # &4 (red), &5 (purple), &6 (gold), &7 (silver), # # &8 (grey), &9 (blue), &a (light green), &b (aqua), # # &c (light red), &d (light purple), &e (yellow), &f (white), # # &k (magical) # # &l (bold), &m (underlined), &n (striked), &o (italic) # #==============================================================#
Just put the colour codes in where you want them and you're done!

Metrics
Metrics
To determine popularity of this plugin, plugin installs are automatically tracked by the Metrics plugin tracking system. If you don't want to help or are paranoid, edit plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml and set opt-out to true. But seeing more users makes me very happy.

Will fix.
@hawkfalcon
If so, that would be a mistake in mcMMO. DeathNotifier listens for PlayerDeathEvents and finds the last damage cause of the Player. If mcMMO does not fire DamageEvents for their Skills, DeathNotifier would get what killed the Player before he got killed by a Skill. Sorry, not something I can fix here.

Posted May 12, 2012Looks like having enable-all-names: true makes fist kills show the weapon as Air. Anyway you could just make it says 'fists'?

report-to-irc has long been removed, please check again. Pasting your config helps too.
And error about rTriggers?
@Ranthrax
May I have a look at your config?
@Kartus
And I just noticed the double vv, alright, I'll remove it.

Posted Apr 28, 2012I got this on startup, please remove this warning message. i opted-out in metrics config, probably that's the reason for this message, but i don't need this warning message.

Posted Apr 28, 2012It just comes up with the original DeathNotifier message whenever someone dies instead of my custom message. It also comes up with this error in the console. http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/5235/

Posted Apr 26, 2012It's not the first time that I have the following error, and I'm starting to get real annoyed, because I cannot fix it. Not with re-installing, not with restarting, not with deleting and placing the config.yml again...
I also had the following error in older versions, but mostly the 'BlockMappingStart' was talking about the line with the Silverfish text. It ONLY happens when I edit the document and mostly after a little while (I can edit and create some new lines before it happens). With the latest version (1.4.5. Build #223) it happens even BEFORE I start editing.
I use CraftBukkit 1.2.5-R1.0.
(Also, rTrigger gives errors when players die when DeathNotifier is in the folder, but removing rTrigger doesn't solve the problem because rTrigger is only conflicting with the fact someone died and rTrigger is not the one giving a line of what caused the death.)

Posted Apr 15, 2012Just a note that 1.4.5 Development builds of this conflict with Slipcor's pvparena config creation.
Since he's using your module loader I'm gonna assume you guys are already working together somewhat.
Just thought you should know :P

Posted Apr 4, 2012Is there a way to change the item name? Like if I'm killed by a snowball, can I change it to bullet or something?
