Is there a different setting for mine shrapnel and bomb shrapnel in ASSS?

No yet, but you can hack it in. The owner of the weapon will always see the same amount of shrapnel for bombs and mines. But when you forward the weapon packets to other players you can modify the amount of shrapnel a bomb has depending on what type of bomb it is.

Hmm, that sounds like what's happening now. We set up PB as a subarena in HZ until they figure things out, and mines seem to have about 25 shrap, whereas bombs have the normal 5. When your mine gets blown up, you only see the 5 shrap though.

Is this a known bug?

No, it's not a known bug.

What do you mean that it seems to have 25 but you can only see 5? As far as I know, there's no way to fool cont into having invisible shrapnel.

If you can log on right now I'll show ya. It sounds kinda weird when explaining it.

it might be that when you hit it you absorbed a couple of them before they could bounce around?

What I'm saying, though, is that bombs always shoot off 5 shrapnel, as intended, but mines shoot off like 25, and your own mine seems to only shoot off 5 normally on your screen, when in reality it shoots off 25 on everyone elses.

This problem was resolved. HZ was developing a module to have different level mines and bombs. Apparently they forgot about it and never fully debugged it.

For the record, though, I never knew about it in the first place =p.
