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'

Spout (open) Spout (close)

Spout is not required to use this plugin but if you want to use this plugin to it's full extent you may want to install Spout (Server and Client).

• 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.

 

@Xolbadur which part of it? which plugin do you use to set your spawn?

 

if you cant change the sky color there is a plugin that someone made that allows you to do that. You could ask them for help if needed maybe?

 

@happypumkin i added sky colors a moment ago . will be included in the next version.

 

cant wait

 

I was hoping to have set shrines that players would go to on death, then have to go out and find their grave, thus the need for a map marker.

 

I'm using EssentialsSpawn, and it's completely taking over the spawning mechanics. This still works, but instead of spawning at their grave, they spawn at the world spawn set by Essentials. Any way to fix this at all? Or do I need to find a different plugin to handle the world spawning?

 

@Ahniolator that will be fixed in the next version. took care of that an hour ago . essentialsspawn and death & rebirth will work together.

 

Yay! It's good to know that the things that I'm finding have already been fixed

Off Topic: I'm starting to feel like a leecher with these plugins... Time to start writing my own and contribute to the community

 

it's fun to develop plugins

 

@muCkk Firefox 5. The download works fine, but when Bukkit tries to load the file, it just said "invalid zip file". As I said, I got it working with the other download link.

Also, funny little quirk, if you have Tombstone or Virtual Chest, you can quick loot the tombstone, or open your virtual chest, and get your stuff that way. Kind of funny.

 

Ey, Every time I restart my server I have to type /dar enable world <-- any fix? + the skins wont work

 

i used a download counter which messed with the file. strange .
tombstone and virtual chests shouldn't be a problem i guess since ghosts cant place blocks, iteract with stuff or kill someone/something - or am i missing something?
there are so many plugins, something always seems to go wrong

the plugin saves all configuration when you shut your server down. a problem can only appear if the server crashes or is killed (task manager ..). i have 2 testservers and both work fine, even after restarting.
do you use own skins or the default ones? if you defined a skin in the config file make sure the colon of the url has a leadin backslash. for example:

Code:

http\:www.foo.com/bar.png

 

@muCkk Tombstone spawns a chest upon death with all your stuff in it. There's a sign on top you can right click to "quick loot" which just places everything from the chest into your inventory. While in ghost mode (both with and without Spout), you can still interact with the sign to quick loot it. Virtual chest is a chest you can open with a command, that has no physical "chest", but is a kind of hidden backpack. I was just saying it was a funny work around of the whole "ghosts can't get their stuff" thing.

 

Quick suggestion:

Perhaps have an option that when players die they have to run to their corpse (aka sign) and then res? That would be awesome (probably even for MC 1.8)

 

Hey another minor bug, when your grave sign gets destroyed it re makes itself but the writings disappear, why is that?

 

"or is killed" ?

 

hey thanks,its working,but i cant see the ghost model,and others too
whats the problem?

 

@muCkk I use AdminCMD to set my spawn...

 

The only thing I see that sucks about this is the link, please, use something that we can download instantly from.

 

i keep that in mind.

i know. so far i couldn't find a way to prevent that. but i will .

if you use the linux command "kill <processID>" or the windows task manager to terminate the process. in the next version i will save the config everytime a change is made to prevent stuff like that.

you have spout installed on the server and you are using the client, right?
check the config for the url to the skin file, it should look like this (backslash leading the colon):

Code:

http\:www.foo.com/bar.png

i will check out adminCMD and try to fix that.

edit: added a new link


thanks for reporting errors everyone !

 

Another bug that I have found is that ghosts struck by lightning still take damage... (Don't ask how i found out )

 

Still you haven't answear on my question.. how I fix so the /dar enable thing auto when I start server?

 

@mariobox i still don't know why that error appears with your server setup. something must be different to my test setups. do you get any errors when you shut the server down (have a look in the serverlog.txt afer shutdown)? do you use the stop command to shut it down or some script or plugin?

 

Any chance to see some iConomy support for rebirth? I don't use it yet, but when 1.8 happens I'll be doing a big upgrade with economy plugins and I think allowing the players to buy the ability would be nice in addition to an item or instead of.

 

mcmmo integration with xp penalty would be a nice option.

 

I use BedHome, Cenotaph (possibly the conflicting one) and Otherblocks.

 

How come you respawn where you die in the video>?

I am not getting any text and I cannot bind to a shrine.

No errors

Please help

 

Nice plugin! im definitely gonna use this on my server!!! DD
a couple of questions/needhelp:

• /res or /resurrection returns : unknown console command. Type "help" for help. in game and nothing on console.
• /reb (myownname) rebirths me and tele me to my deathsite. is that because im op/Admin or maybe a bug?
• if rebirthed by another player, do we stay where the ghost was standing, or tele back to body?
• (i'd rather have him stay)
• can you add block-cmds feature for when they are dead? (and maybe block-tele as well..)
• can you add option to customize what the shrine looks like? (im thinking about a gravestone kinda thing)

thanks so much in advance!

edit: Oh and it would be easier if we could either punch/right click the shrine to rebirth instead of typing /reb near a shrine.

 

A few notes:

CommandBook: Set Exact-Spawn to False in commandbook\Config.yml
mcMMO: Set Myspawn enable to False in mcmmo\Config.yml

 

i'll add it to the list, but don't expect it in the next update.

gonna check those out. thanks.

did you activate the plugin using /dar enable <worldName> ?
after that you will automatically respawn where you died (except you run a respawn at home plugin, but the next version should fix that)

thanks !

• /res aka /resurrect was replaced by /reb aka /rebirth
• if someone resurrects you, you will teleport to your body. maybe i add an option for that.
• i'm not sure how to block commands from other plugins and if it's even possible. i'll have look
• shrine customization will take some time. but i'm already thinking about that. i'm tired of looking at the current one
• right clicking to get reborn sounds good
  

thanks! i'll add that info in my post. although those problems will probably be fixed in the next version.
