Nice, thank you very much for this!

Only suggestion I have would make more colors and let players select what color they want in their !settings menu (dont know if you did this based off my plugin request or not).

Add TF2 support? Just tryed it. Didn't work.

your welcome, i hope it works well. as for the colors, the problem is endless available colors. i thought 2 simple options might make things easier. well see, ill think about how to efficiently include color options. especially if more people would prefer it that way.

EDIT: working on giving color options per client.

i dont have anyway to test plugins for tf2. that said, i dont know of any reason this wouldnt work for tf2. did you check your logs for errors? are you sure you installed the translations file and have clientprefs installed and working properly? the problem may or may not be this plugin.

That would be awesome to have people be able to select their favorite death beam color!

And yes, colors are endless!

You've already got Red and Blue so Green, White, Pink (for the ladies), Purple, Black, Yellow, Brown, Orange and Grey.

Stick with the basics is all I can say (dont have to do all those, just suggestions). ;)

No need for some fancy colors.

Ok got it working.

It possible for every client to see every beam? Not just the client that dies.

yes, this is an easy modification. but players can only control whether or not a death beam is created for themselves. they wouldnt have any control over whether or not they see "all" beams.
