Inactive [FUN/INFO] DeathNotifier - BUKKITDEV

@kjhf
My server seems to tick over fine with 30 people on so thats not an issue atm.
But I agree with the reload sometimes it takes so long it kicks everyone out for a moment.

Great plugin! Works great with no problems whatsoever!

Glad it's working for you!

Nifty plugin here...and I respect another fellow Developer getting started here at bukkit

I saw your concerns with version numbers....may I make a suggestion?

Code:

Top of your main class...

//Description file for the plugin
public PluginDescriptionFile info = null;

In your onEnable...

@Override
	public void onEnable() {
		//Load configuration
info = getDescription();
                //rest of your code here
}

When you need to access the version number....

String version = info.getVersion();

Doing it this way allows your versioning to be handled by your plugin.yml file and not in the config (where an unknowing user is more likely to tinker with it).

I hope this helped!

I had actually figured that out a few days ago, just patiently waiting for 1.8 to come out so I can push my updates.

But thanks anyway!

No problem....I am on the borderline regarding if I should push an update for mcDeath or not myself...hard when a major update is right around the corner.

I'm just waiting because I'm lazy.. and the update I'm going to do isn't really going to do anything other than add support for Enderman.

One of these days, I'll get around to patching up the PvP side of things so that the messages can support notifying what the person got killed with.

*Sigh*

Go read Jeb's twitter....1.8 on the 8th is now looking high unlikely

Does anyone else think that having ONE developer working on the ONE biggest update in the history of MC the stupdiest thing ONE company could possibly do?

That's like saying that Minecraft is their side project...not their flagship >.>

I didn't expect it to release on the 8th. I kinda felt that was a bit too optimistic of a timeline. I'm fine with it though - hopefully it'll get more polish than 1.7 did when it popped out.

this is good i can edit wat it says xD cant wait till u make it so it broadcast the tool or something they get killed with

Can you make it so it'll turn off the messages from vanilla? Or does it already do that?

@Geoff Winans
Apparently when I die, it shows BOTH Vanilla message and the DeathNotifier message. Help?

zecheesy, this plugin is abandoned. Please use HeroicDeath (my recommended alternative).

hmm nice plugin.. perhaps you could update your op and link to that plugin and mine too?
DeathTpPlus has broadcast messages too...

Plugin is updated, folks. Enjoy. It's on bukkitdev as well, but hasn't been approved <the new file>

Follow the Download link in the main post.

nice...

PROBLEM SOLVED! THANKS!

I don't think I am the first one to ask this, but I have placed the .jar in the plugins folder. According to the server log the plugins works, but when I try to commit suicide, drown in lava of whatsoever to test the plugin it shows the standard MineCraft Message (like: [playername] tried to swim in lava). On the log it shows this:

I removed one of the #'s in line 1 and completely erased line 38 but I still keep on getting this error.

Both the DeathNotifier.jar and the CraftBukkit.jar are up to date. What is going wrong?

SMALL UPDATE: This only happens when I change the config.yml in the .jar document (it doesn't have a separate plugin folder since it doesn't create one)

Other, less important thing: In this forum post it says it is version 1.0.1., however in the log it says: [DeathNotifier v0.95] Loaded!

Thats.... Weird. It doesn't seem to generate a folder/config no errors Nothing in Console.

But the Plugins Seems Fine to Me. Works Properly in Game. But no Config to Edit :c?

RB 1597/1.0.1 R1

1.0.1 of the plugin definitely generates the config file/directory. You may have downloaded the one that was missing the saveConfig() option just before I added it to github. Try downloading it again!

You need to re-download the plugin - in our rush to update it, myself and the other dev forgot to add a saveConfig() to the onEnable method. This was fixed as was the plugin.yml

@Geoff Winans
Any dispenser death messages? If not can you add them please?

Will do. I'll add a ticket to the bukkitdev page.

Re Downloaded. Generated Thanks Works Fine!

Hey, was doing some PvP with a friend on a personal server, running Death Notifier. I noticed that after he killed me with an iron sword, when ever I raged and did /kill [name] it showed the death message of him killing me with the iron sword. Also, could you add a death message group for 'unknown' death causes?
Great Plugin btw.

I've yet to figure out how to avoid the messages being repeated with /kill and /slay.

We certainly can add an Unknown tag, but I haven't seen any.. unknown death types in a long time.

Killed by plugin would do it
(entity.setHealth(0))

Ok, I understand, and as for the Unknown tag, i just remember that HeroicDeath had one, and I think that applied to /kill and /slay commands. Anyway, good work and thanks for the quick reply.

Ding Ding Ding <3 Error Report!. When i got killed by a wolf:baby this happens fix please :3
Runnin on CB 1.0.1 RB-1
