    well, I think the title says it all.
    I don't know if this is players can do as I'm new to playing versus, but what would be good is: when you're playing as the infected, when you die you resporn instantly so you can move about in ghost form but you can't actually materialise solidly until the 20 second (or whatever) time has counted down. That way, you're not just sitting about watching as a spectator - you can be getting yourself into possition.

    I know what u mean this has been posted numerous of times on the Valve Steam forum as suggestion. I don't think it can be done plugin wise.

    I'll look into seeing if I can do this via c++ extensions. I would need to create a managed forward for the death event, start a timer, and prevent ghost spawning for the time limit. It's the third in the list that I'm a bit unsure on. Btw, I'm still finishing up the Kill Stealing extension.

    It's an extension I'm working on. Kill stealing is enabled by default (a hunter/charger can steal kills from a smoker with a caught survivor). But !stealoff will disable that and your smoker won't have to worry about losing its kills. Still working on it anyways.

    sounds cool man! by !stealoff im assuming you mean you just type that when you need to and it disables it? If thats the case thats pretty awesome mate, hope you can get it to work :)

    If all goes well, then yes :) !stealoff will disable kill stealing, and !stealon will enable it.

    I think much of us have waited it impatiently and will like your cool new option: the KillStealing extension. _O_
    How it works, by voting (!votestealoff/on) or only admins will have access to it ? :)

    :) Well, actually that functionality has been gotten rid of. Instead, the kill stealing extension will block ALL hunters from stealing a smoker's kill (I'm going to add chargers once I get the hunter working). Now, many may protest since smokers can have a tactical value. That is why smokers will by default have the option to release their victim so a charger/hunter can move in for the kill.
