About Super PVx Info
Adds a highly configurable GUI to players' HUDs indicating whether they are currently in a PvE, PvP, or Safe Zone area, or are currently subject to a PvP expiration delay.
Features:
-
PvE/PvP status for Zone Manager zones
- Supports matching on zone name, True PVE exclusion mappings, or zone flags
- Tested with Dynamic PVP, but should also work with Agile Zones, Zone Manager Auto Zones, etc.
-
PvE/PvP status detection for:
- Abandoned Bases (untested)
- Dangerous Treasures
- Dynamic PVP
- Player Base PVP Zones
- Raidable Bases
-
PvP status detection for:
- KpucTaJl event plugins (Air Event, Arctic Base Event, Ferry Terminal Event, Gas Station Event, Harbor Event, Junkyard Event, Power Plant Event, Satellite Dish Event, Supermarket Event, Water Event) (untested)
- Cargo Train Event (untested)
- Player height (sky / seasonal dungeons, train tunnels, etc.)
-
PvP expiration delay status detection for:
- Abandoned Bases (untested)
- Dynamic PVP
- Player Base PVP Zones
- Raidable Bases
- Safe Zone status detection
- Tutorial Island detection (treated as PVE)
-
Player notification on state changes not covered by other plugins (e.g. holiday dungeon / train tunnel / safe zone entry/exit)
- Can be enabled in chat and/or in Popup Notifications
- Optional Simple Status support
Commands:
- /pvxui (configurable) toggles the UI off and back on

Background:
Super PVx Info attaches a watcher to each player on login that monitors for any changes to PvE/PvP/delay/safezone state, and updates the player's HUD. By default this is done once per second, or as soon as possible after a hook-based change has occurred - but both of these behaviors are configurable, so you can reduce server load (at the cost of reduced GUI responsiveness) by increasing "Seconds Between Updates" and/or disabling "Force Updates On State Change".
This approach is needed to monitor the player's height, and for more accurate safe zone detection (Facepunch is bad at providing triggers for things like exiting Train Tunnels into Outpost).
This plugin is a complete overhaul of Zone PVx Info by BuzZ[PHOQUE]/Arainrr, which I was inspired to attempt after struggling to get it to work with Zone Manager Auto Zones (since abandoned in favor of DynamicPVP).
