While many players enjoy Friendly Fire being enabled, for public servers FF
requires some type of TeamKill Manager plugin, since it is impossible to have
enough Admins constantly on both teams to properly police a pub server with FF
enabled.
COD4 has a terrific FF mode they call "Reflect Damage". It works quite simply.
When FF is enabled and the RD option is selected it is impossible for any
player to damage a teammate.
100% of the damage a player attempts to inflict on a teammate is instead done
to them, including killing themselves if the damage is greater than 100%.
Several different HL2 mod authors have attempted to create a plugin to create a
new Reflect Damage (or mirror damage) option, however they have discovered that
if the damage inflicted is greater than 140%, the teamkiller will succeed in
killing their teammate.
Since it is stil possible to kill a teammate, then it becomes necessary to add
some type of TeamKiller management system to this type of plugin.
All of this can be eliminated if the developers can simply create a new type of
FF mode that would nake it impossible to inflict any damage on a teammate, with
100% of any and all damage being reflected back on the team killer.
Thank you for your consideration.
