Hello,
I'm not a mapper but I do make a variety of alterations to maps to make them more appealing and to add various new modes of gameplay. One of these alterations is adding a subtle light that, when the primary lighting is turned off for the map, turns the map into an almost TRON kinda of experience. Well of course to get the full TRON experience you gotta have glows and trails.
Here's some visual examples of what I'm doing here on killbox which i ported over to TFC, not 100% finished but you get the idea

Anyways what I'm getting to is this. With these kinds of alterations to maps it's required in order to have fun to it's fullest potential, that all players on the map are forced to glow and trail team colors, and not allowed to turn off glow or trail ( otherwise they are making an unfair advantage for themselves ). This would be specifically a 'Lights Out' plugin that players could vote for 'Tron' mode or 'Lights Out' mode and if there are enough votes to turn 'Lights Out' mode on then immediately all the lights on the map would be turned off and all players would begin to glow and trail their team color, but most importantly they cannot turn the glow or trail off during that map. It may even need to disable any saying glow or trail while 'Lights Out' mode is in session so players can't change their glow and trail colors through any other plugins running on the server.
