Ricochet: Source is a [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/MOD MOD] for the Source engine. The aim is to port the original game, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricochet_%28Half-Life%29 Ricochet], over to the Source engine. And hopefully in the future further expand upon the games concept and gain more interest for the Ricochet game as a whole.


==Totally Third Party==
{{ricosrc|4}} was a third party mod whose aim was to port Valve's [[Ricochet]] over to the Source engine ({{src06|4.1}}), and hopefully in the future further expand upon the games concept and gain more interest for the Ricochet game as a whole.
Ricochet: Source is a third party modification, and is not developed by it's original creator [http://www.valvesoftware.com Valve Software]. The MOD will be free but will require [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Half-Life_2 Half Life 2] and [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_SDK_Base Source SDK Base] to play. Ricochet: Source is developed on a licensed version of the Half Life 2 Multiplayer Source Code ([http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Licensing_Valve_Technology Not fully licensed]).

This is private as only members of the SupportWiki team can download the MOD. Members of the translation team have generally enjoyed the modification. Later in July (this month) the website will be reopened after a long downtime. The website opening will coincide with the MOD's initial release.

The MOD is in a healthy state. There are some bugs but most of the Ricochet functionality is coded in.

This is the old team back in 2006. All of these people provided large contributions to help develop the first versions of Ricochet: Source. Virtually all of the people below have drifted away from the MOD. I think Skave is still around =).  
Various teams were involved in the development of this project. But the most global success was with the old team, as in fact they created the basis for the next projects-followers of [[Ricochet: Source]].

==Join Ricochet: Source== 
Ricochet: Source is a very different modification and has a widely different gameplay to other Source MOD'S. It is an interesting and fun MOD to develop and hopefully over time will gain some popularity. If you have skills in any area feel free to contact me (Laurence) at:
