Death API [Unmaintained]

+1 on sleeper kills being displayed. I noticed there is a plugin that shows admins the name/owner of a sleeper and was thinking there must be a way to get a message showing who killed what sleeper. Any luck on this?

 

It should still display like a normal kill, if you mean actually showing that it was a sleeper yeah thats possible.

 

I tested to see if killing a sleeper displayed as any sort of kill at all and it does not.

 

I believe that your plugin is causing this error

Code:

ERROR: A .NET exception was thrown trying to call static function Find on NetUser!
ERROR: invalid arguments to method call (@)
ERROR: nil

From line 306

Code:

if bp:find(k) then

I say this because sometimes when people kill people it will say X killed Z without saying the weapon name or body part. Also I believe it says it for all npc kills.

 

Thanks for the info, will look into it.

Sorry to say your wrong as bp:find() is a string function not a function call on netuser.

 

lol I read string not static sorry @Hatemail

 

I was looking to add death handler but I want to remove the killer from the text. how would I do that?

 

line 308

Code:

self:notifyDeath(damage.attacker.client.netUser.displayName .. " killed " .. damage.victim.client.netUser.displayName ..  weaponMsg .. " with a " .. v)Change toself:notifyDeath(damage.victim.client.netUser.displayName ..  " Died " .. weaponMsg .. " with a to their " .. v)line 285 287 need to change by with an with a to by a by anGoodLuck!

 

I would love to see this plugin be given the ability to display NPCs killing players. Note that it'd be best if this feature is added to have the configuration options separate from the player killed animal options. If this is already implement, I've not seen any sign of it.

 

It's all goood.I just want to shengji.

 

Is there any chance to show the area someone get killed?
Got a pvp arena - and want to show it only if someone get killed there like "killed in pvp-arena"

regards

 

hello,
how can I get the steamid of the attacker / victim?

 

yup modify the code to check in if a player is in a zone, that's your job as this plugin isn't ment to tell you where just how someone died.

read the wiki m8 it has the function listed.[DOUBLEPOST=1391534364][/DOUBLEPOST]Next update for the plugin will be after zombies are removed and replaced. Will include more config options and a config options to notify a death by entity.

 

Be great if you could toggle this on and off. That way, the console isn't spammed with messages all the time. Good to have it turned on during PvP times and off during PvE times for servers running both types.

 

Thanks for the plugin, would be great if distance was added also.

 

Great plugin. Would it be possible to have the file output formatted in json?

 

yes its possible for proof one of my projects uses json data http://stats.klep.to/test/heatmap.html
Will I be adding it to the plugin no.

 

Thanks for the answer. Another thing: the time display in the logfile has a "bug", 0:12 is displayed as 12:12 while 12:12 also is displayed as 12:12.
I guess it has something to do with

Code:

if ap == "PM:" then timeSplit[1] = tonumber( timeSplit[1] ) + 12 end

Any chance to get it changed to display as 0:12?

Edit:
Would this work? Can't test it atm

Code:

    if ap == "PM:" then
        if timeSplit[1] ~= 0 then
            timeSplit[1] = tonumber( timeSplit[1] ) + 12
        end
    end

 

Doesn't seem to log sleeper kills. As those ppl aren't online, so it doesn't get their SteamID.

 

Sleeper kills would require keeping a list of all users who logged into the server, I could force reliance on oxmin and use their datafile or add yet another file to my plugin if sleeper kills are a priority.
