Welcome to DeathWatch, a Counter-Strike plugin designed specifically with the Jailbreak gamemode in mind. This plugin tracks player deaths and allows staff members to respawn them, providing tools to rectify mass death events such as mass freekills or accidental deaths in a non intrusive way. Although it’s my first plugin, I’m excited to share it and continue improving it based on feedback!
This plugin is not fully complete, I have some tweeks planned. I will keep fixing reported issues as they come up or once i've finished the other plugins im working on. Since this is my first plugin, I’m open to critiques and tips to make it better!
- Death Tracking: Track deaths that happen during gameplay. While not too detailed, it provides essential information to admins, including a configurable delay between deaths that determines whether they are counted as part of the same event.
- Respawn Controls: The core feature of this plugin is the ability for staff to instantly respawn the last few players who died, eliminating the need to ask "who died?" and manually respawn each player by name. Staff can quickly respawn groups of players based on recent death events with a single command.
- Mass Death Detection: Automatically detects mass death events in-game, with a configurable number of deaths required to trigger an alert. These alerts are sent only to staff so they can take appropriate actions.
- Non-Intrusive Design: Players won’t be affected unless respawned by staff. The plugin operates quietly in the background.
- Circle Drawing Utility: Provides visual indicators for player locations or events using in-game circles. You can configure whether or not to draw player markers on the map for visibility.
- Configurable Plugin Tag: Customize the plugin tag that appears in chat messages to match your server branding.

Here are some planned features and improvements for the DeathWatch plugin:
- WASD Menu for Managing the Plugin: Implement a user-friendly WASD-based menu for staff to easily manage plugin settings and features without needing to type commands.
- Improved Circle Drawing: Attempt to draw the circle with the same radius as the player model to accurately show where the player was located and where their body stretched upon death.
- More Detailed Death Logging: Enhance the plugin's ability to log more specific details about player deaths, providing staff with better insights into in-game events.
- Overall Optimizations: Search for and implement performance improvements to ensure the plugin runs smoothly and efficiently.
- Download the latest release from the releases section.
- Place the plugin folder in
