Installation (open) Installation (close)

1. Put the DeathAndRebirth.jar in you plugins folder.
2. After you start the server the plugin will create all necessary files.
3. You may now want to edit the config. An explanation of all variables can be found below or directly in the config file.
4. Activate the plugin for each world using /dar enable <world>.
5. Deactivate spawning features form other plugins (i.e. MyHome: Spawn at home).
6. If you use Permissions give normal users 'dar.res' and admins 'dar.admin'. Special nodes are 'dar.ignore' and 'dar.nodrops'. If admins have the '*' node you may want to remove nodrop or ignore for them like this:
   
   
   Code:

   groups:
                         admins:
                             default: false
                             build: true
                             permissions:
                                 - '*'
                                 - '-dar.ignore'
                                 - '-dar.nodrop'

How to create shrines:​

​

​

A tutorial in french from JeasonP (Merci! )​

​

Informations:

• Ghosts: When a player dies he becomes a ghost and will respawn at his location of death. A lightning effect will appear on death and on rebirth (can be turned off). The location will be marked with a sign saying "R.I.P <Playername>". The player gets a new name: "Ghost of <Playername>". Ghosts are ignored by monsters, get no damage and are excluded from PvP. In the config file can be choosen if they can use doors, levers and buttons, if they can fly or chat. Picking up items and using chests and furnaces is not possible for ghosts.
• Dropping: You can decide if players will drop their items like normal or if the items disappear and the player gets them upon resurrection.
• Flying (for ghosts): To fly you have to hold crouch and steer with the mouse. Walking is not necessary. Flying is disabled by default. Also the server has to enable the fly mode in the server.properties file. That's a problem, because cheaters will be able to abuse this. If you want to protect your server I recommend using NoCheat.
• Shrines: Shrines can be used by players to resurrect themselves. Admins can turn anything into a shrine. Therefore you need to select an area (just like in WorldEdit) using the selection mode and a stick or your crosshair and commands. Left clicking with a stick will show admins the name of a shrine.
  There are two modes (shrine only on and off):
  1. on : Ghosts have to get to a shrine to use resurrection.
  2. off: Players can bind their souls to a shrine (right click) and use the resurrection command (/res) anywhere to get resurrected.
• Resurrection: Players can resurrect others. In the configuration can be determined how close the player has to be and if he needs a special item which will be consumed.
  A player can resurrect himself by right clicking a shrine or using /reb near a shrine. If reverseSpawning is enabled the player will spawn at the shrine (or at the spawn if he didn't bind his soul) and resurrection is possible at his grave.
• Multiworld: Death and Rebirth has to be enabled for each world separately.
• Admins: have the possibility to change all options ingame. Ops can also use left clicking to get the name of a shrine.

Behold! A bunch of spoilers:

Code:

groups:
    admins:
        default: false
        build: true
        permissions:
            - '*'
            - '-dar.ignore'

• Dead players have a ghost model
• Sound effects
• Notifications (achievement-like) instead of chat messages
• Ghosts get a different sky color.

Known Bugs (open) Known Bugs (close)

• MyHome can't be overriden. Deactivate 'respawnToHome' in its config. This also applies to other plugins which influence spawning. Essentials and Commandbook are working without changes.
• With Spout: If you have been a ghost the clouds will glow at night. The only way to prevent that is by turning of this feature (changeColors=false in the config).

Unfortunately i broke your shrines. Sorry =).
That was necessary to add the multiworld support.
There are two ways to fix this:

1. Delete the shrines.yml located in \plugins\Death and Rebirth\data
and add your shrines again to the world.

2. Edit the shrines.yml and add the world name like this:


Before (v1.1):

Code:

shrines:
    test:
        originalids:
            '3': 0
            '2': 0
            '10': 1
            '1': 0
            '0': 1
            '7': 1
            '6': 1
            '5': 1
            '4': 1
            '9': 1
            '8': 1
            '11': 1
        min:
            z: 101
            y: 63
            x: -45
        max:
            z: 103
            y: 66
            x: -43
        tb:
            z: 102
            y: 63
            x: -44

After (v2.0):

Code:

shrines:
    yourWorldName:
        test:
            originalids:
                '3': 0
                '2': 0
                '10': 1
                '1': 0
                '0': 1
                '7': 1
                '6': 1
                '5': 1
                '4': 1
                '9': 1
                '8': 1
                '11': 1
            min:
                z: 101
                y: 63
                x: -45
            max:
                z: 103
                y: 66
                x: -43
            tb:
                z: 102
                y: 63
                x: -44

As you can see all you have to do is add the name of your world to it. It's important that the beginning of the worldname is between "shrines" and the name of the first shrine in the list.

When you are finished check the yml with the Online YAML Parser.

 

for some reason this doesn't change anyone's name to Ghost of
it also doesn't respawn us when we die at our place of death as a ghost it just respawns us back at spawn

 

do the names in the chat change? or do you experience no effect at all?
spout or no spout?
any plugins which affect the playernames?
any plugin which affects the respawn (spawn at bed or home ..)?
and i guess no errors in the console?

 

sorry didn't see that he asked for it.

 

THANK YOU KIND SIR!
I am testing 2.1 right now! I will tell you more suggestions if I have

EDIT: Found a bug! When you are a ghost, with 'blockGhostInteraction=true' you can still open chests. Hope you fix it soon and I loved the chat thingy !!

 

thanks =).
i can't reproduce the bug that ghosts can use chests. do you run a plugin which influences chest usage (like LWC)?

 

Yes. I use LWC :S

EDIT: Oh and I am going to request you one final feature: Multilanguage support please so i can translate the messages to my language ! Thanks!

 

the major question I have is:

What happens with the inventory?

It would be cool if you lose it all and retrieve by getting resurected via shrine :>

Thanks in advance!

 

Version 2.2​

Changelog:

• works with bukkit #1060
  
• code improvements (messages and shrines)
• dar-command now works in the console
• res is now reb to prevent problems with Towny
• added automatic version check
• added NoCheat support
• skins and sounds are now changeable in the config
• slabs and wool will be now resetted correctly when using /dar rm
• added the possibility to left-click shrines for ops which will return the name of the shrine
• added dropping system

took care of the flying problem.
skins can't be transparent. only notch can change that as far as i know.

added that feature

i coulnd't reproduce the bug with lwc, don't know what the problem is :-/. multilanguage support is a bit tricky because of the spout support but i'll try.

 

My server runs like 80+ plugins so it could be any of those :/ Guess im going to have the chest bugs forever :S

 

any more friendly links to the sound effects and jar file?

also the link to the ghoist skin is invalid

 

This is very cool, but how can you bind yourself to another shrine if you're already bound to one? If you can do it how?

Also if you fall into the void and die what happens? Probably keep falling if a ghost?

 

Doesn't work on my Server anymore... used Spout and the other things, but since ver. 2.0 it doesn't work anymore...
No Textmessages, no Ghost, only spawning at Spawn
Dunno if it's in any Conflict with AdminCmd, but that would not be good^^


Edit: Now it works, but no skins and Achievement like Text-Messages

 

i added a mirror for the jar. you don't need to download any sounds or the skin, i just linked them ao appreciate the work of others .

you just need to right click another shrine, that's it .
i didn't consider the void death yet. in the next version that will be fixed.

since version 2.0 you can enable and disable the plugin for each world. did you do that? it's turned of for a world by default.
check if it's on with /dar world
and switch it on with /dar enable <worldName>

 

I tried the commands ingame. BTW, I used the Bukkit 1000 version on Bukkit 1000; don't know if Bukkit 1060 and the 1060-version of DaR will solve my problem.

 

Hey @muCkk
I want to use this, very awesome! But is it possible to set up permission-specific shrines with the current version? For instance could one permission group can only res at a specific shrine and aren't allowed to set their res location at a different one and vice-versa with another group.

If not this would be a great feature, and I will still probably use the plugin without it!

Also are there any conflicting properties with this plugin and Towny's town resurrection or will it simply override it?

Thanks!
-cheebs

 

that's very strange. what exactly did you type in? for example "/dar world".

in the current version it is not possible to set ut shrine specifig permissions, but it's a nice idea.
i just checked out towny and in fact it overrides my plugin (you are still a ghost but you will spawn in your town). but you can set "town_respawn" to false in townys config and it will work.

 

I love this plugin so far! A few suggestions that I have are:

1. Make an [optional] feature where living players cannot revive dead players under any circumstances
2. Another [optional] feature where dead players will vanish and cannot be seen by living players.
3. (Not sure if this is possible) An [optional] feature that makes dead players invisible to living players, but visible to other dead players and vice versa. Dead people can't see living people, living people can't see dead people.(an extension on the suggestion above)

Other than that, I have already implemented this plugin on my server running 1060, and am having no problems with it whatsoever!

On another note there is one bug I am noticing. When it items are required to resurrect another player, no matter the quantity of the items (I used bones, for sentimental reasons) that I picked, it would always require one more of the item to be in the player's inventory. I.e. The config is set to require one bone to resurrect another player, says that one is required when the player does not have the item in their inventory, and when they have only one of the item in their inventory it still says that it requires one bone to resurrect another player. However, if the player has two of the item in their inventory, they are allowed to resurrect the player even though the setting is at one. This represents obvious problems for those who seek to use this function. Here is an image:



Edit: There are no errors in the console when this happens. It acts as if the requirement is +1 more than what the config specifies.

 

oh! thanks, i will take care of that bug.
your suggestion 1. is possible. 2. and 3. is not possible i think. you can only make players invisible for everyone. maybe spout adds features like that in the future.

 

we tried it out
rb1060
spout and spout client uptodate
on death we get the soundeffect but not the skin, no name change and myhome took over and whacked us back at /home location (fixable)

lots of couldnt pass death entity in the logs

we have removed it for now, nice idea but clearly conflicting with other plugins or 1060

 

i just tried it with 1060 and spout. everything worked . can you post the error of the death entity event and maybe your plugin list (if you want send it as a private message)? that would really help me to remove the problems.

 

Sorry, it's really early for me, so typing is not my strong point at the moment. In #2, I meant that dead players are invisible to everyone, not just living players. The third was supposed to branch to the specific group visibility. My apologies.

 

love the idea, any chance we'll see map markers on death? would love to be able to use dynmap to found my death spot. On an unrelated note, does anyone know of a shrine system for recal binds not related to death?

 

Make it so that the corpse of the player stays there under the sign

 

sadly that's not possible .

i would like to make an plugin which uses a rune system for teleportation. if you played ultima online you know what i mean. basically you can mark a rune at a certain spot and use it to teleport there.

 

@Metonymia sounds like theres a problem with another plugin. which plugins do you use?

 

Why? Can't you like, put a dead skeleton at that spot?

 

Web server .jar is broken. Upon trying to load it, it says "not a valid .zip", used the netload .jar, and it worked.

 

@KuroSnow which browser? it works for me (firefox 6)

 

Okay, i solved the Porblem with the Plugin now...
But now i got another xD
I made /setspawn and now DaR doesn't work anymore...
Any Suggestions?
