Death Configuration

ChatTweaks has many, many, many options. It can be mind boggling to decipher what they all mean. Here, I will try to explain what they do in more detail. This configuration can be found at plugins/ChatTweaks/DeathConfig.yml

Default configuration can be reinstalled by deleting the old one, or copy-pasting this pastebin. http:pastebin.com/ASNw5bu2

[....] Much more which I won't retype here.

Action

NameDefaultDescription
ExplodeKillList of stringsRandom string will be used for every "Explode kills"

[....] Much more which I won't retype here.

Message Syntax

NameDefaultDescription
ProjectileTEXTThe syntax we will use for projectile related deaths (arrow/snowballs/firecharges)

[....] Much more which I won't retype here.

The way the message syntax work is:

  • Replace %Player% with the players name.
  • Replace the action name with a random string from the action section.
    • Example: %player% %ProjectileKill%. This means that %player% will be replaced with the player's name who died, and %projectileKill% will be replaced with a random string from Action.ProjectileKill's list...
  • If a mob name is there, it will be replaced with the mob name specified in Entity Names.
    • Example: "%player% %EatKill% by a %Zombie%" %Zombie% would be replaced with zombie, since we entered zombie earlier.

Cool thing with this configuration is that you can create your own "Action names"...

  • Example: You could create a message such as "%player% %FlyingBirdKillRandom% while flying" but you would need to add "%FlyingBirdKillRandom%" to your action section.

I hope this makes sense, if it doesn't drop me a ticket!
