DeathTpPlus
DeathTpPlus
DeathTpPlus announces a death with a random message based on the death cause and allows you to teleport to the point of death It can also create a TombStone at the place you died to let you save your inventory (aka DeadMansChest).You can also create a tomb sign which can be used as respawn point and as a place of information of how often you died and what your last death cause was.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to some issues with yaml you can get the following error: unacceptable character '?' " in the log, The fix is to remove the รค atm from the default messages and if you have custom messages to remove any of them using special characters. Sorry about that!
How does it work?
Take a look at how it works.. Videos
Also take a look at this picture to know what I'm talking about in the config file and on these pages 
Based on the original plugin from lonelydime. Integrates a fork of furt from cenotaph and tomb from dark_balor.
PLEASE NOTE: Mung3r is taken over from here, he did already help me a lot and is willing to keep this plugin updated. THANKS a lot

Don't want one of the features? No worries! Just disable it in the config file and it'll be like that feature isn't in the plugin at all! The file IOs aren't called and neither are the methods used for those features. Worried about performance? Don't be!

FAQ
- Q: Colors are not working correctly in messages, what is wrong?
A: If you are using Essentials Chat turn that off, otherwise you need to live with it or ask Essentials Teams why that happens. - Q: What does "expected <block end>, but found Scalar" in my log messages mean?
A: Probably you forgot to use \" or ' to get a " - Q: I see a killed by X message but I did use /suicide from essentials or similar.
A: This is a bug of the other plugin not setting the death cause correctly. Nothing I can do. Sorry. - Q: If I die in a cave or in nether and use /deathtp I will teleport back to the place I died but on top of the world
A: Change teleportToHighestBlock: true to false but read the comments first in the config. - Q: Could you support RegionPlugin XYZ?
A: Not until a general API similar to Vault for economics comes out. I will support region plugins I use myself. - Q: Can I help you?

no it just wont let them use it, like i said i gave switch and item use permission and it wont work do you need to be able to break blocks or something to use it? since it deletes the chest when you autoloot it.

deathmessages config is completely unmodified.
I'm running Debian 6 with java version "1.6.0_18" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8.13) (6b18-1.8.13-0+squeeze1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)

Posted Mar 9, 2012I have one small problem with this plugin: streak messages don't show up. I have made sure that showStreaks is set to "true", I have enabled DeathNotify, I have customized all the streak messages, and I have found no other relevant settings. I have tried removing all the files from the DeathTPPlus folder, thereby resetting all the settings, and it still gives no streak messages when I enable them. It also does not give death streak or multikill messages, but it DOES display standard death messages. I checked my streaks using "/streak". I found that my death streaks increase normally as I killed myself repeatedly for this test, but it does not acknowledge kills of either monsters or passive mobs in creative mode or in survival mode. The plugin just refuses to display the messages. There are no errors whatsoever from DeathTPPlus in the Pail window or in the command prompt server center. Thanks for your help and great job on the plugin. I got a Java decompiler program that allows me to see your code. I could never imagine making something like this. I tip my hat to you, sir. Tell me if you would like me to post my config.yml or deathmessages.yml files.

Posted Mar 7, 2012A simple toggle would suffice. After all I don't know yet if it could prove to have any negative side-effects in the long run =)
Would be much appreciated!

well I did the checking wrong.. instead of looking for the worldguard plugin and than checking build rights I was checking for the worldguard plugin not to be there.. :-(
So you want to have this option configurable? I could try to include that in the next version but only as a blank option... on or off.. otherwise it will be to much work atm.

Posted Mar 5, 2012Is there any way to override the worldguard protection? We'd very much like to have our users be able to spawn deathchests in our town.
We've got mostly kids playing and they fall off buildings withou our protected town and get their stuff griefed by the others ^^
It seemed like it worked in 3.9.1.1986 but that was a bug?

NOTE: If your run R7 you need to disable the autoupdate check

Posted Mar 5, 2012Hi guys, sorry for my english :) I've a problem, I'm translating the messages of death of your plugin in Italian and I can't put into the system accented letters, and in Italian we have many! How can I solve this little trouble? Thanks for your attention, you did a great job.

will update when a RB is out..
@iisaninjette
I would need to get the server log, preferable with debug log enabled.
I know that the Tomb sign doesn't update correctly and I still didn't find out why, I mean I know the reason (looks like chunk isn't loaded, but I load that chunk than and still it doesn't work) so i need to look more into that again.

Posted Mar 4, 2012For some reason it happened again. It just leaves blank signs when someone dies. I don't know if deleting the config actually worked now, I just asked a member and they said it worked.. guess not.
