DeathNotifier - Broadcast Deaths!
DeathNotifier notifies the world of deaths with configurable random messages. This plugin has grown from only able to broadcast deaths in game to be able to broadcast deaths in IRC. Features have soon been modulised to suit the needs of various people. I welcome feature and module requests, just ask, I don't bite.

Configuration
Configuration
The configuration of DeathNotifier is simple and easy. Basicly edit each option by adding or removing new messages.
The default messages are just examples, use your creativity, I will not provide more messages. (Unless a new death cause were to appear and I have to give it default messages)
Variables in messages include: %player (The killed player), %opponent (The player who killed) and %weapon (The weapon the killer used)
Messages can be per world and the delay between messages can be configured in seconds. Everything that is not a tool will not have its name shown exactly. To enable the names of all items, it is also configurable.

Metrics
Metrics
To determine popularity of this plugin, plugin installs are automatically tracked by the Metrics plugin tracking system. If you don't want to help or are paranoid, edit plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml and set opt-out to true. But seeing more users makes me very happy.
DeathNotifier Statistics by Metrics
It seems to work most of the time, however sometimes the death message is posted twice on 1 death (tried this when smiting my members) and sometimes it uses messages from other death categories, like fire-death when struck by lightning. I hope you can use my feedback. Keep up the good work =)
@NodinChan
Thanks Nodin, currently cant connect to your jenkins but we will help test this weekend :)
Everybody, get the dev build on our Jenkins and help test!
@fjutte
Yes, I'm still updating it, we only have buggy dev builds right now. :(
just got this; running latest CraftBukkit dev
Thank you! Sorry if i sounded rude earlier. Keep up the great work awesome plugin right here :D
Okay, found it after facedesking a million times. Will have a new build soon to be tested.
And this is exactly why I haven't released it yet. I have no idea what they changed in the event system to make DeathNotifier act like this, that is why I don't have dev builds either. Bear wih me while I facedesk a million times while trying to figure out what happened.
Pretty bad dev build. Did u try this first?
Even normal PvP death messages dont work. (Didnt even use potions yet. Just used diamond sword)

Someone download the latest build here and give me the error it throws when someone is killed by a potion. Paste it with http://pastebin.com/
Are there any early builts to test with available? ;)
Can't wait :)

Must be some code change in the new builds. Thanks for the reports, I just noticed the default messages too.
@NodinChan
Thanks I really want this for my server which is on MC 1.2.3 (CB R0.2)
Yeah i also have the same problem as kotpx3
Old message showing:/
This will be getting an update. Also, I cannot reproduce those bugs that users spoke of.
@PinguinAman
Thanks for the report, I'll look into it. :)
@kotpx3
Hmmm... I suggest trying to remove the old folder and load a new one, also, try editting the config, stop the server, putting it in, and start the server again. Nothing in the code about that is wrong, I checked a few times. :|
For some reason it shows the PVPFist message, even if someone gets killed by a Weapon. (Sword)
Any ideas?
Is something wrong with this plugin? I edited the config with custom messages and restarted the server. The old messages are still showing but the ones in the config are not.... The old messages aren't even in the config :(, please help!
