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.

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.

Posted May 29, 2012I'd have to suggest a cutoff of messages, as the players on my server are having fun with /slay macros, spamming IRC badly with death messages. (lol)
Eg if there is a queue of 10 death messages or more, don't send anymore to ingame or irc for 2 mins or something.

Yeah hope you will add the delay it would be really really usefull with like 100 players online.
And yeah we have custom plugins that make snowballs do damage for some empires.
But didn't think about it that it doesn't for others so i would understand if you don't add it :p

It's already a configuration option called "enable-all-names". But I might improve the config some more. :)

Delay has been something I've been thinking about, like when a Player jumps off cliffs again and again to spam the Server.
Snowballs can kill Players?

Please make a delay between messages.
Configurable of course.
Now when someone get spawn killed it's spamming the chat with messages.
Make it like so when you set it to 60 there wont be a message if the player die 2 times right after each other.
He have to wait 60 seconds before it sent a death message again.
And maybe add a Snowball config so when ppl get killed by snowball its a other message.

Posted May 27, 2012I can't use "only-same-world" setting on config file.
I try to set to true. In fact, We received death message on another world.

Posted May 24, 2012Could you fix it so it don't say player got killed with air by .. So it use the fist pvp msges. Even if the enable-all-names is set to true I want all items but for fist it shouldn't say air and use the fist msges.

I don't know what's going on, but DeathNotifier just uses the methods in Bukkit to read configs. I have no idea what's with the errors.
Maybe I'll split the configs into smaller configs.

Posted May 21, 2012Ok. Seems the old config.yml had a few things it wasn't supposed to have. However, the new one has a few issues too.
To try and see if it did work without any trouble this time, I replaced the 'Suicide' lines with the line: - "DEAD!"
This time it finds a BlockMappingStart in this line: in "<string>", line 20, column 1: enable-all-names: false ^ http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/5423/
It also happens when set to true.
I forgot the color this time btw, is that real necessary? If yes, then I'll try again and report the new file.
It doesn't conflict with any plugin anymore.

I don't know if Bukkit supports those letters, but DeathNotifier just reads what you typed in the config, so if Bukkit does not support, I can do nothing about it.
