@Shao

I'm hoping to release a new version sometime this weekend with a proximity feature. It allows you to set a ConVar that is compared to the distance between the attacker and victim, and if less than the ConVar, ignores friendly-fire. I expect the default value to be 32, which is where I find the bodies begin to overlap. However, you could also set it to a lower value (more body overlap before friendly-fire is ignored) or a higher value to provide a buffer around you for griefers/idiots that run through or in front of you while firing. On my own server I'm currently using a value of 48 which I'm liking so far. Feel free to join my server using the link in my signature, try it out, and let me know what you think. Also, it ignores melee weapons and chainsaw...those will always generate friendly-fire (unless you have one of the other ConVars set to negate that). Oh, and the server has reverseff_bot=0, so you can only test against other human players.

I am loving this plugin, but is there a way to turn off the announcement that this server is running this?

I can work on that. I wanted the announcement so players would not say things like "Kill me in the saferoom" or wonder why they are taking damage, but I can see where you might want to suppress the announcement. I've been very busy lately with work and family issues, but this enhancement request should not take long.

Hi, this is my first post here.

I run an 8 player server, I usually play with the same team members, but sometimes random players join.

What I'm interested in is to reverse FF only for them, but not for the players I trust.

Perrhaps you are willing to consider adding a feature that allows to disable ReverseFF for admins with the appropriate flag?

That would be really neat.

Thanks.

Unless I am misunderstanding you, ReverseFF already supports what you are asking for. Set reverseff_admin=0, which is the default, and it will not reverse friendly-fire for admins. This will check the "generic_admin" flag which is "b" (also included in "z").
