If you choose to continue working on this plugin, could you add a way to remove a percentage of levels (not experience, so dying at lv100 leaves you at lv50, and dying again would leave you at lv25...) This would punish higher level players more for dying than it would lower level ones, which adds a bit of balance, I think.

Additionally, if certain skills could be handled differently instead of being exempted entirely, that would also be nice. (IE: All skills lose 50% except fishing and repair, which only lose 25%...)

I haven't gotten the chance to actually use your plugin since it's currently incompatible, but this seems to be precisely what I'm looking for, and regardless of what you chose to do, I thank you for your contribution to the community. :I

edit: Oh, it seems I've misunderstood what you meant by the level penalty in the first place. I thought the level setting just took a set amount of levels, and not a percentage.

Creates errors when I use it with the latest version of mcMMO and CB1.2.5, will it be updated?

works with 1.2.3?

Yep works properly now thanks!

Awesome. I can't wait!

The way it is right now, if you die with level 9 0/1200 (towards level 10) you wont lose anything. I have it set so that when you die you lose 100% of your experience (full wipe of your in progress leveling) but if you die going back to your stuff, there's no penalty, I want to make it more of a challenge, and have a way to lose levels or experience depending on what/how much you'll lose. OR if experience is all at 0% you lose X levels

@SHiLLySiT

can you set it up to be % for level that way when u die you lose 2% of your current level that way its not a fix number

Would it be possible to make the penalty a lil more robust. For example have a 'percentage' removed of experience, but if the skill is at 0/1000 experience but level 9, they'd then lose that portion. If a skill is at 0 exp and you have exp set, it won't downgrade the skill a level. Does that make sense? My explanation sounds like crap.

Looking forward for an update! =]

Should be basically this framework for your listener where you replace the hardcoded 0.25 with a config value drawn from configuration:

public void onEntityDeath(EntityDeathEvent event)
{
Entity ent = event.getEntity();
if (ent instanceof Player) {
Player p = (Player) ent;
if (p.hasPermission("statreset.user.reset")) {
p.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + plugin.getConfig().getString("deathMessage"));


for(SkillType skillType : SkillType.values())
		{
			if(skillType != SkillType.ALL)
			{
                       Profile prof = Users.getProfile(p);
                       int oldValue = prof.getSkillLevel(skillType);
                       int newValue = (int) (oldValue * 0.25);
                       prof.modifySkill(skillType, newValue);
			}
		}
 {
//p.sendMessage("This feature is off.");
}
}
}
}

Just to let you know that we are on watch for the new version =)

My need would be 50 % loss upon death, until that we keep on losing everything ;)

Aw man, I really needed a plugin like this. Im guessing it wont be updated? :(

Great idea! Can you add an additional config option that takes away a percentage of the total experience for each skill when someone dies? Taking away all of a person's experience is too cruel, but it would certainly make death a little scarier.
