I have been reading the feedback from both the coder side and the admin side...it is running about 50 to 1 against STEAM...no suprise there.
There seems to be a good news/bad news thing when it comes to Ricochet.
Only Valve-sanctioned mods are currently supported through the STEAM updates, of which Ricochet is not one of them. What that means is that when STEAM updates the server files it re-writes the llibgame file is overwritten. However, botman is looking into this as this also affects major plugins like MetaMod, etc. so if this is fixed we can set up Ricochet, with our own fixes and continue to play.
We may not want Valve to sanction Ricochet as they will most likely be overwriting the dll file and will certainly not actually do any updates.
I am going to try to set up a STEAM server this weekend to see how bad it wil end up being to get a mod up and going.
