I still don't quite understand what the plugin does. So if I'm playing on a server and a mob hits me, and I disconnect, I lose XP and inventory? So what is that time supposed to mean? And why is it called Log if it doesn't log at all?

[Shiva92]

The plugin is useful for pvp. Every server have similar plugin. But combatlog is best on minecraft.

I think what bothers him the most is the name..
It doesn't make much sense.
Combat Penalty or something. even though that isn't even correct but makes more sense.

Anyone has ideas of new ways to punish players who log out on combat?

Also, Is there anyway to know if a player was disconnected because of connection time-out?

[xoft]

There is no way to determine the exact cause of the player disconnecting, since Mojang removed the "disconnect" packet from the 1.7 protocol. Now we just get a signal that the connection has been terminated.

[ThuGie]

Why exactly did they remove it ?
Now you have to rely on the socket to detect it right ?

So.. we no longer get a heads up about a player disconnecting ?

xoft: The purpose of this plugin is to kill a player who logs out during PVP combat. The name might be misleading, but it is the name used on all other servers.

While the cause for disconnection cannot be known, the use of this plugin is still valid. If a player logs out while you're fighting him, no matter what the reason is, the logical behavior is for him to die.
