(l4d_reverse_ff) by Mystik Spiral
Purpose:
Left4Dead(2) SourceMod plugin that reverses friendly-fire...attacker takes damage, victim does not.
Objectives:
- Do not allow griefers to cause friendly-fire damage to other players.
- Incentivize all players to improve their shooting tactics and aim.
Description and options:
Reverses friendly-fire weapon damage on survivor team and claw attacks on infected team.
Does not reverse burn/blast damage, except for grenade launcher (see Suggestion section below).
Supports client language translation, currently English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Traditional Chinese.
Please note the following for the true(1) / false(0) options below:
· The victim never takes damage from the attacker.
· 1 = friendly-fire is reversed for that option and the attacker takes damage.
· 0 = friendly-fire is disabled for that option and the attacker does not take damage.

- Option to enable/disable plugin (0=Plugin off, 1=Plugin on) [reverseff_enable (default=1)]
- Option to enable/disable plugin by game mode. [reverseff_modes_on, reverseff_modes_off, reverseff_modes_tog]

Suggestion:
To minimize griefer impact, use the Reverse Friendly-Fire plugin along with...
ReverseBurn and ExplosionAnnouncer (l4d_ReverseBurn_and_ExplosionAnnouncer)
- Smart reverse of burn damage from explodables, like gascans.
- Option to reverse blast damage, like propane tanks.
ReverseBurn and ThrowableAnnouncer (l4d_ReverseBurn_and_ThrowableAnnouncer)
- Smart reverse of burn damage from throwables, specifically molotovs.
- Option to reverse blast damage, like pipe bombs.
When these three plugins are combined, griefers will usually get frustrated and leave since they cannot damage anyone other than themselves.
Although griefers will take significant damage, other players may not notice any difference in game play (except laughing at stupid griefer fails).
