    er.... 42? I keep on getting disconnected when I'm about half-way through DLing the updates <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo--> I'll have to wait until the next LAN to find out what everyone's whining about...

    BTW, there is a workaround for the f1 and f2 bindings... planethalflife had it on the front page the other day.

    Yeah, I know there is a workaround, but it doesn't matter. They still weren't thinking when they made it like that.

    As for the trivia question... Nope. Not 9 disks.

    It's a Valve mod which comes with the newest HL version.

    Which reminds me...I haven't d/l it yet. :)

    There is no definite 'set limit'. If you pick up both the fast shot, AND triple shot power ups, and find a large open area, you can keep tossing till your hearts content. The first disc will usually respawn before the third one is finished. so in all actuality I would guess the total is far above 9.

    No, no and no. It's not 81, it's not 3, and it's not unlimited if you get certain upgrades. There is a very specific number of disks that you can have in play at one time.

    I never stated that it was infinite just that "the total is far above 9" but tell us ricochet master, what is the total then?

    The total number of disks that a player can have in play at any one time is... 27.

    Get a triple shot upgrade, and a fast shot upgrade. The first lets you throw three disks in one click of the mouse, and the second lets you throw three disks one at a time for every single ammo shot you have. Sooo... You're throwing out 9 disks per ammo disk. 27 disks in all.

    I'd just like to take this opportunity to rant about the bugs in Ricochet. I've come across one major BUG, and one exploit so far... Figured out how to do the exploit by myself, its that simple.

    The bug is where three players spawn in a two player arena. That is just not supposed to happen. Also, the third person spawns -inside- one of the two others, obviously not supposed to happen.

    The exploit is one in which a specator gets disks. He can then knock people around in an arena map, and not fear retaliation. He can even get in the -way-, and knock people around as they jump.

    I really don't like the patches Valve is putting out now. What happened? What changed in their company?

    Also, who owns Ricochet? I'd like to report the bugs/exploits, but don't know who to talk to. Valve?

    Hmm, those are interesting bugs. I have myself encountered the spawn bug on two occasions. Once where I spawned inside a person and proceeded to decap him  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> . However on the other occasion there were three completely seperate players in the same arena. quite peculiar. Minus the bugs though I think that the Ricochet mod is quite fun. It focuses more on gameplay and having fun.
