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!
New picture is posted of the book's current sample text.
Please give feedback - do you like it, do you dislike it, do you have a suggestion for an addition? Please tell me!
Love it. Waiting for download.

@fatmarleys
I doubt the frames will do that, There will be podiums eventually that will let you place books in them.
@deathhzone
Yes, that's the point. The killer gets a memento for making the kill on a PvP server, so (for example) rogue killers can keep a stash of their victims' memories.
Think of it like a murderer keeping the heads of his victims, but with less gore.
I'm confused. Won't the person who kills him just pick up the death certificate?
@fatmarleys
That sounds like it'd fit better in a different plugin entirely, but I could try to make it and make it compatible with this once 1.4 comes out.
Have you seen the way pictures will work? Would be interesting to mount the book into a picture frame, but still be able to read the text.
Ha, as soon as I posted this Jeb_ posted a picture of a new feature he might be adding...
Not sure if he derived that from my plugin idea, or if this will replace what this plugin does...
Oh cool, 4 comments and I've not even released it yet.
@Forecaster71
Thanks! I'll try to have this out by this weekend.

I've designed it to say "by Suicide". However, I guess many plugins add other ways of dying, so unknown reasons just won't show the killer in the hover text. Also, I'll allow suicidal deaths to not drop a death certificate (config option), because players on random-spawn servers often use /kill to spawn in a better spot, and the ground would just be littered with them.

The text color of the title can be changed through the section symbol in the code, so for example (as in the picture above) I'll set the book's title to green. Normally it would be cyan, and without another plugin there's currently no way to change the color.

What happens if the player manually writes a book which look like a Death Certificate?
Looks really good, but what happens if the user is killed by using /suicide from essentials? What would the book say he was killed by?
Looks interesting!
