Prestige functionality?

Since its original release on PC, the game never featured a prestige system. Which is something I absolutely loved about the game back in the day. I understand that a lot of people do not care about this, but for some super autists, making number go up+look cooler was the core of the game. Is there any server plugin/mod/offline mod that restores the original system to the game?

There are servers which include prestige. Often it does not function exactly the same as the console version and is much more simplified. Also as it is added via server scripts/mods, it will not carry over to other servers
