Death Certificate
Death Certificate
This page is awaiting an update to newer features.
Current Version: 0.2
An Alpha update has been released! Use it at your own risk, and report every problem you find with a ticket. Read the FAQ first!! (If it doesn't show up, give it a few minutes, Bukkit still needs to approve it)
On your PvP server, have your players ever complained about not being able to take the heads of their victims and put them up on their wall?
With Death Certificate, your players can do almost that! When a player dies, he drops a written book with the title <Name>'s Death Certificate, and the killer's name in the Author field. The book also contains other information about that player when he died, such as his level and score, time and date of kill, etc.
What Death Certificate Does
- Give players on a PvP server a memorable reward for fighting
- Bring shame to players recollecting their items after dying
- Help players identify whose remains they've stumbled upon
- Let players brag to all their faction mates about how they killed the server's top dog

Ideas/Suggestions
I look at all ideas and suggestions created via tickets, and may implement yours if I feel it's appropriate! This includes:
- Another bit of information in the Certificate
- A change in how the Certificate already behaves
- A new configuration option or permissions node
So suggest away!

Doesn't bother me, just pointing it out

Yes. If you only want a book to drop on PvP kills, there's an option in the config for that.

Posted Sep 1, 2012Sorry for the late response. But I was more thinking of the factions plugin stuff as in people who raid bases sometimes spawn camp, so they may not necessarily be new players. Or it could be as simple as somebody camping a bed (which is a spawnpoint)

I don't really know how I would keep track of the books, but if Spawn Killing is a part of your server I suppose you could set the plugin to require a permission to drop a book (I already implemented this), then not give new players that permission.
Otherwise, the camper could just throw them out as he gets them. They'll despawn after 5 minutes if he stays in the area anyways.

Posted Aug 31, 2012Ah that makes sense. The only other thing that I would say something about is pvp focused servers that have frequent usage of spawnkilling. If a person is getting spawnkilled, would you're inventory be full with death certificates? If so, that'd be a problem. Also maybe just make it so one book is dedicated to one player, so that you don't get massive amounts of death certificates if you're spawn killing.

Yeah, that was a concern I had while implementing it. Right now, the server's time is used, but I see how that could be a problem if your server is hosted in a different time zone.
But I also like having the time there because you can see how long the items you find have been there. So I'm not entirely sure what to do, perhaps a simple config option for time zone? It won't please everyone, but it will still take care of a few people.

Posted Aug 31, 2012I think the time of death would be a little hard to implement due to people having different timezones so I say remove it or make a default timezone configurable. Either way really cool.
