Death Messages Plus
Death Messages Plus is finally being rewritten and updated! Feel free to follow the progress on my Github: https://github.com/jordan-schnur/Death-Messages-Plus
Description:
Ever wanted to change the boring death messages? Ever thought that plain white text for death messages was boring? Ever thought that the death messages were not informational enough? Well forget those problems, Death Messages Plus can easily modify death messages, and it supports colors! Written by itunes89, and debugged by skipperguy12, DMP is a great tool. Death messages will be editable by a handy config file that the plugin generates. Death messages will also now display the world the player has died in.
How to install:
Installing is as simple as 3 easy steps!
- Download latest .jar from the link at the top.
- Drop the .jar file in your servers plugins folder. Reload the server and our plugin will automatically generate you config folder.
- Now navigate to the newly created folder(Death_Messages_Plus) in the plugins directory. Open the config.yml with your favorite text editor(Notepad++ Recommended) and the file with guide you through the rest.
- Once your done with that. Make sure to reload again for the config file to sync with the server.(Working on a easier way)
- Your done!!
Variables that can be used:
- %player% Is the player who died. IE: itunes89 died
- %world% The world the user died in. IE: itunes89 died in the world: world_the_end
- %displayname% This is the users display name. IE: Owner itunes89 died.
- %killer% Is the killer. This can be a mob or a player depending on the message. IE: itunes89 was slain by skipperguy12 or itunes89 was slain by a zombie Future update: Will work with objects such as a cactie, lava or the void if they fall out of the world.
- All Bukkit colors and styles. For a list please look in our config.yml file.
Features:
- You can use all Bukkit colors, magic characters, bold and italics.
- This works with variables(IE: %player% Is the players name.). Supported: Players Name, There display name, the world they died in and there killer(Only works with PVP and Mobs right now.)
- Works with all Minecraft Supported death messages. Check them all out here.
Bugs, Suggestions?
Post them in the comments below and I will fix bugs, and try my best to add and suggestions you have :D
Future Updates
- %killer% will work with all of the ways a player can die.
- I will be adding a /dmp reload command to reload the config file without reload the server.
- I hope to add a way to change the messages in game.
Hi,
this plugin is awesome, simple and easy but it does not support all ways to die.
So... do you plan any updates?
Can you add %material% to displays the weapons name or display name?
It works to the extent of the default config, but whatever I change it to does not work.
How about 1.7?
@selfservice0
Install hide stream or disable it in the essentials config :)
I wish we could just disable PVP death messages. :(
It doesnt seem to work for me I changed the death in world to %player% died in the %world% dimension then i reloaded the server then when it launched the death in world it shows up as [playername] died in world [world]
Please update this, it's very important for my server! :)
plugin: nice
Please addd Group-Prefix support ;) THANKS
dont work for 1.6.2 ...
@Barnsey3017
Works for me! :)
does this work for 1.5.2
try it on 1.5.2 and it says player died in world in world ?? any idea ?
add please: The blocks someone felt of: (like {Player} felt from a high place (80 blocks) Player was killed by killer using TNT/Sword/Bow/etc. was killed is than Exploded/Slain/Shot/etc
Same message for : [INFO] XXXplayerXXX was burnt to a crisp whilst fighting Spider
Running craftbukkit 1.5.1-R0.2 (Beta) and DMP 1.3
Others types of death seem to work.
Have to say, only good death message plugin I could find. One suggestion I do have is have an option for random death messages per death cause. So if a player is killed by lava there is several random messages that could be displayed.
This server is running CraftBukkit version git-Bukkit-1.4.7-R1.0-54-gff7c371-b2694jnks (MC: 1.5.1) (Implementing API version 1.5.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT)
@Mritunes89
Could you add an option for item used? Player was killed by Player with a Lilypad etc.
Source. I know this is basic just leave it
Hey, this looks good. Would be nice to have a variable for what the killer used to kill the player :)
