Great idea! But instead of fadetoblack only ;)

And remember not every players with the same IP are monitoring.

How can he not spectate when he is dead? Fadetoblack effect is only applicable when dead but fysiks has a good solution. By the way, it's the price they pay for playing next to each other. They have the communication advantage when playing as teammates. Even ventrilo/teamspeak can't substitute that, his teammate can look at his monitor to see where he is and coordinate the attack better. And when one is dead, he can easily see where the enemy is, that is cheating for me (just like wallhack).

I will consider to add this, but give me 2 days, cause my very final 2 exams will be on Monday. After that, freedom.

Huh? Maybe I've not read the plugin enough to know what you mean but I was implying that there should only be one method. My method.

[n0br41ner]

Only one method? You mean disabling fade to black and only forcing the players with the same IP spec the other guy with the same IP? Why can't they both be present, while they are controllable by cvar?
So like this, the owner of the server can choose what he sees is best.

Well, obviously, you don't need to listen to me. I hate fade to black plugins. Every time I'm faded to black, I consider leaving the server.

As I said:
Not every players with the same IP are monitoring and/or use communication software.

If there is possibility to let player access to spectating in the 1st preson view on every teammate - it's better to let. But if his 'friend' (the player that has the same IP) in opposite team it's better to force player to spectate him. Or we increasing probability 'consider leaving the server'.

I will look into all the suggestions once i am free. In two days, i have to go to the hospital to have an operation. I am not gonna be able to code anything, but once i recover, i will check them out.

Updated to version 2.0:

• complete rewriting of the code
• added command to print ips

Why did you duplicate functionality of other plugin that every admin has? ;)
Changes in core functionaly like I told you would be more preferable.

Nice plugin.. just a quick idea.. I think it would be better if you set the spec mode of same ip players to normal if all the players of that same ip are dead.

The idea is to only blackout their screens to avoid ghosting. So, you can blackout same ips until they are all dead then return the spec mode of same ips to normal so that they can spec everyone normally.
