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.

@NodinChan
Oh wow thank you very much for featuring us! I shall sort out those errors immediately. :D
@UltiByte
Done very nicely, video is now on this page. :)
Name pronounced No-den-Chan, and gwinans no longer works on this. There's also a typo in the description of the video. :)
Keep up the good work!
Hello!
We thought your plugin was really awesome, so we decided to make a video about it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adaer8BLB3E
It starts with an introduction and explanation, then goes onto a compilation of many deaths and their accompanying messages, and then ends on a big note :)
Feel free to use it how and where you like. If you like. :P
@Dinastya
Error no. 1 only possible if incorrect config.yml. Error no. 2 only possible if the plugin is not enabled.
@Eriaror
If I ever find out about how to read a txt file easily without going line by line to look for stuff every single time.
Is it possible to make death messages with characters like á, é, ó, ö, ú, ü, ű, etc. ?
If not i guess its because the YAML file format.
If this is the problem, please break up the config to two parts in a future update, if it is possible:
- the config (YML file)
- the messages (TXT file, or something that supports the above characters)
getting this 2 errors with last version. It completely don't work. http://pastebin.com/M7FJkTSU
Thanks man! :D
@Mayhem777
I noticed, and it's a typo, v2.1 will be out soon with two new features. :)
Can't start :(

and

I get this problem since version 2.0, i've deleted all death notifier content and installed new, same problem with default config generated.
@nhoclesnar
Thank you. Yeah, the bulk was to prepare for new things, I have cleared out the useless code and reconstructed the structure of DeathNotifier. Suggestions will be implemented soon. :)
Amount of deaths and causes of death can be seen on http://mcstats.org/plugin/DeathNotifier/
AND THE SUGGESTIONS CAN BEEN PUSHED TOO FAR DOWN THE COMMENTS
Somebody copy them and make a ticket? :D
Good job NodinChan, I love the rewrote version. And yeah you were right I was kinda scared of the slightly larger file :P
@Dinastya
Yes, I rewrite quickly, I was just cleaning up everything, removing bad code and putting new code in.
And the suggestions will be added soon. :)
@Zombica09
Hmmm... Weird. The death message is sent by Bukkit, I never did anything extra to send it. :|
When i die the message appears twice... most of the time when i type /suicide
Wow you did that rewrite pretty quick :p When will the suggestions be added?
v2.0 is here! As soon as Jenkins stops breaking and lets me log in, the download link should be available.
Let me guess, people didn't know that DeathNotifier won't work if they don't update?
Or are they just scared of the slightly larger file size?
@breezeyboy
MinecraftBot has a death to IRC notification that I won't be able to override.
Any-chance of support for minecraftbot ??
Notice sharp drop in usage. Maybe I should hurry and start the rewrite.
