Inactive [INACTIVE][INFO] HeroicDeath v1.11.2: Customizable server broadcasts on player death [1185]

I don't know if it's CraftIRC specifically, but someone else wrote a plugin that uses HeroicDeath's custom event to pass messages to an IRC bot: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/in...necraft-server-bot-for-irc-channels-471.6151/

I've received requests in the past to add direct CraftIRC support to HeroicDeath, and my understanding is that it should be easier now that CraftIRC 2.0 is out, so perhaps I'll look into that for a future revision. =)

See Xon's post here.

Right! I forgot about poor Xon =( Sorry Xon!

im new to been a server owner and iv just installed this but it doesnt show up in game chat log that someone died.
it shows up in the web administration console's chat log, can anyone tell me what is happening here

Hi, i'm loving the mod as it gives us a great way to mock peoples failure.

I was wondering if in the next revision you could add different messages for every mob, like the creeper has? It would make this awesome mod even more awesome.

Can you pastebin your config.yml? If events.only is true, HeroicDeath will only send out its custom event, instead of also notifying the world.

@Ragepyro: A couple people have asked for it, I'd consider it a "to-do"

Awesome. Someone suggested while I was adding more messages that I put 'Got boned' as a skeleton one, but I had to say I couldn't D:

i suggest in config separate death messages for each monster. so i can make specific messages for example killed by spider: "was enwrapped in silk by a spider"

Okay, alright already, I'll add per-mob death messages.

Okay, support for per-mob death messages is added in 1.6.0. Read the changelog/OP for details and feel free to ask questions.

yo, i may be retarded and couldnt see this in your post but how do i add colors to the death.messages file?

How is this supposed to work? Do the messages come automatically after death, just by putting the plugin in?

When I die nothing happens =/

You can specify the color of names (attacker, victim), of items (used to kill when it's a PvP death), and of messages (in general) in the config.yml, but I do not have an easy way for the time being to add any other color at custom points in the messages. In theory, a \u00A7 character (section symbol, '§') followed by the appropriate color number should parse appropriately, but I haven't explicitly tested that.

Yes, if you have not set the node events.only to "true" in the config.yml, HeroicDeath will broadcast a message to the server whenever a player dies. You can see if it's working, even if you *do* have events.only set to true, by checking the server console; the death message should go to the server console regardless.

If that's not working, please post your CraftBukkit version, HeroicDeath version, and any errors you may see in the console when HeroicDeath is enabled.

thanks, ive got it working now awesome plugin

Thank You. Turns out I thought an outside command /kill would work with this plugin. Its fixed.

Ah, sorry. I only listen for ENTITY_DEATH, which doesn't typically get called with the way some plugins effect their kill commands. Glad to hear it works fine otherwise. =)

Using CraftBukkit v.531

So the error you posted is an error in the config.yml, most likely caused by a manual edit that malformed the structure of the YAML (or used a tab character). If you pastie/pastebin your config.yml I can take a look at it and see if I can figure out what the issue is.

It's definitely unrelated to your CraftBukkit version though.

Here it is...

I wonder if it's possible to add a prefix to the messages for console only so that the log is a bit clearer and seperates the death messages from regular chat.

Awesome plugin. Just added about 20 of my own death messages to the defaults, I have my friends LOLing every time we get snuffed for whatever reason.

I noticed something in this file: you use a HashMap<String, MaterialData> but I think you should use HashMap<MaterialData, String> instead because right now two items can't have the same custom name.

I was the item names and I noticed that some of them didn't work at all in game because I was using the same name for some similar items, and so they couldn't be added to the hashmap

Hy !
I found a bug
Heroic Death made conflict with War (and the problem where Died player don't have new stuff)
Only whith the lastest version of Heroic Death
With previously version, no problem, but with lastest version, WAR don't give new stuff after death.

Sorry for my english, i'm french

Awesome plugin!
I've noticed a few errors. They do not interupt the functionality but just giving you a heads up.
These occur both on server start and when a player dies.

I noticed the "Permissions Denied" so re-chmod'd the plugin folder with 775. Created the 'death_messages.log' & 'death_data.log' with 775 permissions as well. When the server starts the error message is gone, but upon player death the above error still reoccurs. Humph. It's all default settings from install.

This worked! thanks!

Essentially i just cut and paste the § symbol then a color number into the messages file. Thanks!

That's a good catch! I kept the Items and Messages classes as similar as I possibly could to the original DeathNotify hey0 plugin to maintain backwards-compatibility with its files, but that comes with the added baggage of not being inside the original author's mind. If I had to guess, I'd say it was originally written that way so that--at least in the future--support could be added for pulling a random custom name for the item as well as a random death message.

Anyway, I'm not using it for that purpose, so having it *work* intuitively is the better goal, and as such I've made that change in all the relevant places in code and tested it, along with CraftBukkit 556 to ensure nothing else broke.

Download version 1.6.1 to fix your woes =)

I'm not sure I understand what exactly the problem is. Certainly WAR has a lot to do with players dying, so I understand the potential for a conflict to exist, but I don't know what exactly the conflict is. I mean, are there any error messages? What's "new stuff after death"?

@SquallSeeD31
Don't worry too much about it. I'm looking into it. The "new stuff after death" is the player's respawn inventory.

I verified that you're using the MONITOR event priority, so a conflict shouldn't happen, technically - i.e. it's probably my fault (I always got lucky in that players cheat death and tp automatically to their team's spawn even though there's no event.setCancelled(true) for ENTITY_DEATH). I'll install HeroicDeath and tease the problem out. I'll let you know when I've closed the issue. Thanks!

Done. War v1.3.1 fixes the conflict between our plugins.

Edit: By the way, thanks for the awesome plugin. This is the perfect match for War (provided you don't have too many games going on at once). I can't believe I didn't install it before.
