The Tron games originally planned weren't possible because of the graphics needed (neon thingys), and Ricochet was a compromise. The Tron and Tron 2.0 games have been released relatively recently compared to Ricochet... I think.

Yes Cass, a Ricochet map! Ricochet's great fun over a small LAN, and I've just bought myself a 5-port switch, so I thought I'd have a go.

i agree small ricochet maps are fun with about 2-4 people. i tried making a ricochet couldn't be assed in the end and just played on the origanall ones. i looked on hl atlas and there was 1 map there and it was rubbish although that was a wile ago!!!

Its crap (the mod) In a way its about as fair away from the origional hl as any total conversion has ever been, its just a shame it plays so horribly.

Hey, cool map. Finally a new map to play on. Just a thought, but I was
thinking this mod was suppose to be a lot better. But during the time
of making this mod, Disney already announced a Tron game. Valve
probably figured lets not make this mod after all. Even if was planned
as a free addon, releasing this would look "bad" on their part? Who
knows, but its make some sense. This mod could have been really cool,
but they scrapped it, and released it in this crap stage. Just my
theory.

Any ways, hope you make some more.

Bah! You win I guess. Oh well... I'll change it when I can be bothered!

ummmm , look again.. pads should not be that bright, not that its bad , it just isnt following rc's examples

Thanks very much! I'll mail it to you now. As for the lighting, in my experience for Ricochet there is no lighting and the maps just don't use RAD. Thats actually (vile word) fullbright. Trust me, its the same on the normal Ricochet maps.

looks nice enough, perhaps height variation is a bad idea on such a small map? lighting is a bit bright mebe rc maps get a bit samey tho so i like to have as many as i can

if you need a host mail me ur map and i'll put it up

I'm not actually having problems with discs being deflected by the jumps. I worked out that you need to change the height of the jump brush!

I've done a little work with Ricochet stuff. If you have an angled wall and the disc strikes it, the disc is deflected in the correct direction. Placing a little 45 degree block pointing upward would allow players to make vertical shots. You could set up a "periscope" shot thing with two of them to allow players to fire randomly at the levels above them. It's actually pretty neat, though the results can be unpredictable.

Also, I think if you have problems with discs getting knocked around by the jump pads, you should lower the height so the disc doesn't go through them but the player's feet will.
