    Latest Jar Only | In Development Jar

    COMPATIBILITY WARNING
    Due to API changes, if you are not using the latest Recommended Build of CraftBukkit, DO NOT download the latest build of HeroicDeath. I have provided links to all legacy versions of HeroicDeath based on which CraftBukkit versions they support.

    CraftIRC Integration
    Do you use CraftIRC? Do you want HeroicDeath to send its death messages to your IRC channel? Xon has developed a helper plugin to do just that! I do not maintain or test this plugin, but I am happy to endorse it and link it for any CraftIRC/HeroicDeath users who want to use both together.

    https://github.com/Xon/HeroicDeathToCraftIRC/downloads

    JSONAPI Integration
    Xon has ALSO developed a helper plugin that pushes HeroicDeath messages to JSONAPI, allowing server admins to easily procure deaths via anything capable of reading a JSON string. Thanks, Xon!

    https://github.com/downloads/Xon/HeroicDeathToJSONAPI/HeroicDeathToJSONAPI.jar

    Features
    • Broadcast cause of death when a player dies
    • Shows who killed whom in PvP and with what item
    • Shows which kind of monster was responsible for eating a player
    • Optionally shows which world they were killed in!
    • Define an unlimited (within reason) number of custom messages based on cause of death, and a random message will be chosen
    • Log deaths to a configurable file, including timestamp and location of death!
    • Send messages on a per-world basis or to the whole server, configure which worlds should get messages and which shouldn't!
    • Define the text color to be used for the message, the player(s) involved, and the "murder weapon" (for PvP deaths)
    • Customize item names to be displayed for PvP deaths (Ex. "Excalibur" instead of "Gold Sword")
    • Supports items with durability! (wood, coal, dye, wool)
    • Item list doesn't need to be updated for future Minecraft patches! (If an item is not defined in the items file, the name of its Material will be prettified and used by default)
    • Supports following causes of death (all lines below the :Tag will be treated as messages for that type of death):
      Code:
      :Drown

    Installation
    1. FAST INSTALL: Drop the JAR in your plugins directory and reload plugins; HeroicDeath will automatically create default files. If you want to edit them before your first run:
    2. Download latest .ZIP archive from the link at the top
    3. Extract the archive into your main server directory (archive contains directory mapping)
    4. Open /plugins/HeroicDeath/config.yml and configure to taste
    5. Open /plugins/HeroicDeath/heroicdeath.messages and add/remove/edit death messages
    6. Open /plugins/HeroicDeath/heroicdeath.items and add/remove/edit item names
    7. Save all configuration files and reload your server
    Configuration


    config.yml
    The config file contains default text colors and logging preferences. You can specify the chat colors that will be used for broadcasting a death message, displaying the name of the dead (and their killer if applicable), and displaying the name of the item used to kill the player (for PvP deaths). You can now also choose whether or not to log death data, death messages, and a few formatting choices for your logs.

    This file is saved in the YAML format, so please be sure to maintain the formatting and change only the element values.
    Default configuration:

    Show Spoiler
    Code:
    # HeroicDeath Configuration
    # Messages are defined in heroicdeath.messages
    # Items (for PvP kills) are defined in heroicdeath.items
    # This file is for configuration of colors, log preferences and localized mob names
    ## Color options
    ## message: Text color of death notifications, wrapped around names/item.
    ## name: Color for the name of victim and killer.
    ## item: Color for the name of the item used in a PvP death.
    #Color is defined according to the Bukkit enum ChatColor
    #Acceptable entries:
    ##BLACK

    ##GREEN
    ##AQUA
    ##RED
    ##LIGHT_PURPLE

    #
    #If color entered is inappropriate, HeroicDeath will default to the following values:
    ##message: RED
    ##name: DARK_AQUA
    ##item: GOLD
    colors:
        message: RED
        name: DARK_AQUA
        item: GOLD
    
    #Logging Preferences:
    ##data: true to log a serialized object representing all the relevant information associated with a death
    ##messages: true to log death messages (as output to the server) to a separate file
    ##time: Whether or not to timestamp messages (if logging messages), and what timestamp format to use for data/messages
    ###stamp: true to timestamp messages
    ###format: Uses format strings from Java SimpleDateFormat.  Read all here: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
    ##files: Filenames to store data/messages in.  A server admin could ostensibly change this value daily/weekly/monthly for collection of timed logs
    ###data: Data storage filename
    ###messages: Messages storage filename
    log:
        data: true
        messages: true
        time:
            stamp: true
            format: MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss z
        files:
            data: death_data.log
            messages: death_messages.log
    
    #Event Support:
    ##If you only want HeroicDeath to send its custom event for other plugins to pick up, and NOT send the death message, set this to true.
    events:
        only: false
    
    #Localized monster names:
    ##If you would like to specify custom localization for the mob names, edit the defaults below
    monsters:
        ghast: Ghast
        slime: Slime
        monster: Monster
        zombie: Zombie
        pigzombie: PigZombie
        spider: Spider
        creeper: Creeper

        giant: Giant
    #Options
    ##useDisplayName: Set to true if you want HeroicDeath to display the player's display name instead of their fixed character name.
    ##serverBroadcast: Set to FALSE if you want HeroicDeath to only broadcast its messages in the world they belong to.
    ##worlds: Lists of quiet/loud worlds for broadcast targeting. NOTE: World names are case-sensitive.
    ###quiet: Worlds listed here will NEVER receive ANY HeroicDeath broadcasts.
    ###loud: Worlds listed here will ALWAYS receive ALL HeroicDeath broadcasts.
    options:
        useDisplayName: false
        serverBroadcast: true
        worlds:
            quiet: [peacefulworld, noobworld]
            loud: [pvpworld, nether]
    



    heroicdeath.messages
    Contains all the possible messages that can be displayed, sorted by type of death. Every line under a death type label is treated as a message for that death type, until the next label is reached. Labels are prefixed with the colon ":" and are self-explanatory.
    Variables accepted in messages:

    Code:
    %d holds the name of the dead player.
    %a holds the name of the attacking entity (player or monster) for PVP and Monster deaths.
    %i holds the name of the attacking player's current item for PVP deaths.
    %w holds the world the death occurred in
    heroicdeath.items
    This file contains custom names for the item a PvP killer is holding. The names here will be replaced in the %i marker for PvP deaths. If a mapping is not provided for an item in this file, a default name will be used automatically.
    Item Format: NAME:ID:<Optional>DATA
    Item IDs and Data Values may be found on the Minecraft Wiki
    Optional DATA parameter uses hex notation, so purple wool would be "purple wool:35:0xa"

    Localization
    If you have translated heroicdeath.messages into another language and would like to share your translation with the community, let me know! I'd be happy to share it here in the OP for those looking.

    Okay, well the config looks good, so we're going to have to go to the full details. What version of HeroicDeath? What version of CraftBukkit? What do you see in your console? (If errors, print the stacktrace here. If you die, you should at least see death messages logged to console even if events.only is true)

    If I open up my config.yml in Notepad++ then all i get are little black NUL boxes all along the first line (CB 617)

    Hmmm, that's interesting. I just opened up my packaged config.yml in npp and it worked fine, but anything could have happened. HeroicDeath will write its own config file though if it doesn't have one, so I'd recommend backing up your existing config file and letting it create a new one, then see if the problem persists.

    Any chance for a spam config? We use mcmmo and people keep jumping off cliffs to lvl an ability and it spams the chat, is there anyway to get an option to add a flood option for it. So like if they die 3 times within 1 minute, it will only show the first one. Or 5 mins, 20 seconds etc.

    Hi, first, its a very nice plugin. Very funny!
    I have just one question. Is it possible to make the death-messages compatible with german letters like "ö,ä,ü,ß"?
     
  14. Offline

    SquallSeeD31

    All of those letters are included in the ISO-8859-1 (aka latin1) character set, which the death message file is encoded in, so see if your text editor is saving in UTF-8 and save in ISO-8859-1 instead and it should work.

    I may just change the character encoding to UTF-8 since I've received a lot of similar questions about internationalization, but I don't want to erroneously introduce characters that won't render properly in Minecraft. All yours will as long as you save in ISO-8859-1.

    This is a great way to infuse personality into a server. I added some humorous ones if anyone would like them.

    As long as you're in dev. Is there any way to make a pvp kill show coords in-game. It would improve the amount of pvp on my server, y'know. Because people could actually find eachother

    like player1 ran into player2 at [x,y,z]?
     
  29. Offline

    SquallSeeD31

    Well, if you turn logging on, the coordinates will be saved to the log file, but there is currently no option to have the kill coordinates displayed in game. Although not *too* much thought was put into it, it was a conscious decision not to include the death coordinates, because the original design this plugin was built to did not include that and I wanted to keep the information as concise as possible.

    If there is sufficient demand for the feature, it could be easily added as an optional feature.

    silvano

    Well thanks for considering. I hope it could be somehow included. It would improve the quality of pvp. One kill would make two other faction members come your way. Anyway, awesome plugin!
