People dont seem to realize how old this game actually is. Better wait for the next NS(2) for kick **** lighting effects cos i doubt they will be around here anytime soon, at least not with the HL engine.
Anyways, the flashlight should be fixed at least to the point where it doesnt illuminate more at/around the player than in the spot you direct it.
Thermal/nightvision is already a plugin for amx servers.
The problem is that it makes cloaked aliens 40% more visible which was a real problem since it almost eliminated the usefullness of this upgade which points had to be spent on.
If you dont like cloakers get ping or motion tracking as your first upgrade. If you are a good player learn to use your ears to detect aliens that are cloaked, not whine like a noob.
As for the flashlight it is only fair to give yourself away when using it since you make aliens (both cloaked and uncloaked) much more visible.
Remember: The good places for alines to fight are dim, vented areas with lots of obstrustions, where as marines do better in well lit open areas with few obstructions.
