I'm making a very unique Half-Life 2 Deathmatch mod (to tell you what it is would be to spoil a very big surprise), but before I get really into it, there are some features I want to make sure are possible. If anyone knows whether the following are possible, please let me know:
1. Disabling in-game text chat, while letting voice chat remain enabled.
2. Having people spawn in a specific place when they die (not the same spot they started off).
3. Having all player's health constantly decrease at a fixed level (say, 1 point every 5 minutes).
4. Disabling/disarming players of the default DM weapons (so that they are weaponless at the start).
Also, how does one write those messages that you see whenever you join a DM server (such as clan information, etc)? If anyone can answer any of these questions, I'd be most appreciative.
