Only the torch closest to the source of water will trigger. I can think of a possible way around that, though. I haven't been able to play in a while - if water has a choice between falling and spreading out on its current level, it will do both, correct?
The armor files are both mapped exactly the same way as normal player skin files. Two files are needed due to the layering of the torso armor over the leg armor.
Crossbows don't take all that long to reload, actually. They're certainly slower than, say, a longbow, but not by all that much, if the user has proper equipment (a stirrup and windlass).
Maille was not "almost resistant" to arrows. It was effective armor for its time in part because most weapons were not designed to pierce. Swords in the early medieval period were not designed for thrusting - cut-and-thrust swords did not became popular until the late 1400s. Maille was expensive and fairly rare on the battlefield, so there was no need to design piercing weapons until armor became more common. Most combatants wore gambesons or leathers, against which slashing weapons were more effective. That said, arrows and spears could pierce maille and burst the links apart, even if a sword or axe would have difficulty severing them.
I really need to stop mining underneath myself, especially when I hear footsteps nearby. I'll break through into a massive cavern extending down into the darkness, and I'll sit there for a second, completely still, staring at the shadows. Then there'll be a TWANG and I'll jump out of my skin. It's awesome.
Also, I was playing L4D earlier today, and it wasn't even creepy, let alone scary.
