Kill History (deathlist)
A mod displaying a colored list of recent kills/deaths and the causes(killer, used item).About
Depends on modlib and fire.
Note: If there are other mods registering on_punchplayer or on_hp_change handlers, add them to the dependency list to make sure they execute before deathlist.

API
deathlist provides a few internal functions, but the most common way to trigger a custom message is passing a custom type to set_hp:
Code: Select all
-- example, kills player
player:set_hp(0, {
-- killer, required
killer = {
-- name, required
name = "singleplayer",
-- color, optional integer, will be completed if valid playername
color = 0xFFFFFF
},
-- method, required
method = {
-- image of used method, required
image = "blank.png",
-- name for logging, optional
name = "blank"
}
-- victim, optional overrides
victim = {
-- name, optional
name = "singleplayer",
-- color, optional
color = 0xFFFFFF
}
})Default Configuration

}max_messages
Maximum amount of messages to be displayed. Number > 0.
mode
String, either "stack" or "list". Specifies message orientation. A stack means that the most recent message is always on the top, while list means exactly the opposite.
autoremove_interval
Can be set to false or a positive number in seconds. Specifies how often messages are removed despite having enough space left for the purpose of not cluttering the HUD.
hud_pos
X- and Y-Coordinate, numbers, position on HUD.
hud_base_offset
X- and Y-Offset, numbers in pixels(?).
enable_environmental
Boolean, whether to enable environmental reasons inside kill history.
enable_unknown
Boolean, whether to enable unknown (none of falling, drowning or node_damage) reasons inside kill history.
enable_forbidden_playernames
Boolean, whether to disallow certain playernames in order to reduce confusion(such as "Lava", "Water", "Falling" or "Something")
environmental_reasons
Table/Dictionairy of possible deaths due to environment.
Basic structure of a kill message
- name of killing thing, colorized using a color(table/dictionairy, r/g/b)
- method used by the killing thing, a texture. If "generate" is specified and a node is responsible, the node texture will be used.
Player died through falling or an unknown reason; no node responsible. One definition of name, color and method.
drowning / node_damage
Player died by drowning node or by taking node damage. A node must be responsible.
Using the nodes table/dictionairy, you can specify overrides for each specific node concerning name, color, and method. If not specified, default values are taken.
