Would it be possible to make a plugin which would function in a similar way as the alltalk feature in Valve games, except for text-chat? Basically allowing dead players to able to talk to alive players in text-chat?

I made a thread about this in General SM, to find out if there was already a plugin like this, I found out that there isn't and it generated some interested. So I'm wondering if anyone here would be interested in making it happen.

I assume such a mod would work in all Source games, but for me it would be for TF2 use, if that makes a difference in whether or not this would be feasible.

I'm lost, you can type just fine when you're dead in TF2...

No true, if alltalk is off, and the player is dead, their text is not seen from anyone alive.

I think what he wants is to allow alltalk-style mode, but only for text, not voice.

Even if alltalk is on, if you type in chat whilst dead only other dead players will see it. I want to make it so everyone sees it, alive and dead.

With my experience, that is not correct. People have no issues talking to alive players when dead if alltalk is on for me.

Are you playing in TF2? It's certainly not the case for me.

That's all I play

I checked in all my servers, same result.

Unless something else is enabling it without me knowing, But I'm just running stock Sourcemod, and Mani Mod. So, I don't see how that could be. I DID notice something it prints in my console at startup though, says something along the lines of "Alltalk Dead Mode On " or something to that extent... I always thought that was stock TF2
