Hey Raum, thanks for your work on this!
Could you please add a config option to disable all chat control from this plugin?
For some reason, I'm not getting any death messages in just one of my worlds (a small custom PvP world).
I tried downloading another death message plugin (Death Messages), but it seems like Deathcraft just takes control of all handling of death messages.
I want to keep the deathchest functionality, as this is the only up to date plugin with that functionality.
Another separate issue. I occasionally have players who die by creeper explosions and their deathchests are empty. I have done a lot of internet scouring, looking on your wiki and any ticket submission I could find. I've disabled chests everywhere I can find in the CreeperHeal plugin I use, but the deathchests still turn up empty. This is a secondary concern after disabling chat control.
Edit: did some testing with debug on. Whenever I die in my PvP world, I get "DC DEBUG: player died a few seconds ago - likely a duplicate message. cancelling deathcraft" regardless of how long I wait after my last death. What can I do about this?
Sorry responses are slow, folks - still recovering from surgery. :P
@bizzig
Every individual feature of Death Craft can be enabled or disabled - That is, you can turn off DC heads if you have another plugin that handles them, but still keep Death Chests. :)
@phenolic
The Keep XP feature was never tested extensively, as most servers don't seem to want it ... I am still out of work for recovery atm, so I will look into this problem and get a fixed release (or let you know if you're doing somethign wrong) by the end of the week.
I never could get the Keep XP portion to work, which was my main reason for using this plugin on my server.
I gave the deathcraft.keepxp. permission to my member group, using "deathcraft.keepxp.100", was this correct? I tried various other values, but the best I could get it to do was to give the person 5 xp when they died. Am I doing this wrong? I'm using 1.7.2.
I want this plugin mainly for the 'DEATH CHEST' feature. But im afraid it will conflict with the 'player heads' plugin which I use. The playerhead plugin has features that this plugin doesn't seem to have, namely renaming heads, so I'd like to keep it. Is there a way to completely turn off the 'playerheads' feature in this plugin? Or, does it include the feature to rename heads?
@DeeeM508
All the features should work just fine for 1.7.2 - The chests have to be enabled, and they hae to have the permission to drop them.
I haven't uploaded an "official" 1.7.2 version because I keep getting side tracked with IRL such - I was in the middle of adding the rest of the heads for mobs. Once I get a mockup version of that, I'll upload it so it'll officially say 1.7 :)
Hey guys. I realize this plugin says it is not avaible for 1.7.2 but I was wondering if anybody has had any luck with it? It seems to work fine other than the actual chests being placed when you die. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@raum
Oh okay thanks, it was set to false, didn't realize there was a config option to check for XP.
@Onewingseraphim
What permission are you giving to people, and what is the result? Also, verify that CheckXp is set to true in your config.
Can't seem to get KeepXP permission to work correctly :/
@raum
Hi,
thanks. Maybe 3) could be
3) maybe it could be included with the following options, so every server admin can decide if he wish to check, and when how often:
CheckChests: true/false
CheckTime: 300 (in seconds)
4) That's what I meant.
so every server admin can decide if he wish to check, and when how often.
Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward.
@ThoLav
Re: A or An - No problem.
1) Shouldn't be an issue to do something like that. 2) Also shouldn't be an issue. 3) This COULD be possible - however the timers aren't currently 'actively' watched, which is why they don't destroy until they're "used". While it'd be easy to change it, it would require active timers to watch for that information, which could cause lag issues on large servers. 4) Destroy them as in don't allow them to drop when they expire/break? Shouldn't be an issue either.
Watch for the changes in an upcoming release. :)
Hi,
it would be awesome if you could chang/add the following things:
1. A sign, sticked to a deathchest with name of player, death time and decay time
2. a configurable protect and decay message
3. Announcing when a deathchest protection expires, with coordinates and worldname, and customizable message
4. Destroy the chests, if player has permissionnode deathcraft.chest.*.free
What do ya think about?
Hey,
would be great if message variable %5 could be configured. I translate message into german, but I can't use %5, becuase a or an looks in german translation, but would also be needed. Like you already said: Bad grammar is bad. ;)
THIS PLUGIN: GREAT Small suggestion: remove space in chat, if disable prefix: _[Player] *nick* starved to death
SORRY, my english bad
@robotnikthingy
It is not currently possible, however it could be added in a new release.
Is it possible to add mob specific death messages, similar to the way deathTpPlus did? Like you could add custom messages for getting killed by a creeper, custom messages for getting killed by a spider, etc
Works just fine on my end as well as most everybody else's, apparently. Open a ticket with as much info as you have.
same problem just resets the config, shame had potential this plugin
@momzlilmonsters For some plugins the server has to be completely turned off as you edit configs. Save the file and then try turning the server back on.
so i customise all the death messages in the config yml folder - and when i reload the server to load them up - it resets the config file back to default how do i fix this also all the ingame commands are coming up unkown command @ruam
