Post by: Naryar on May 26, 2009, 01:21:12 PM: The CFZ file is a compressed component file that is in your main RA2 directory.

But tell me exactly what components are you trying to get to work... i will be able to help then.

However you can get DSL-TC (in my signature)... there are tank tracks, as well as Nightmare, and belt drive motors.

A smartzone is a little area which you can add to tell you where a certain weapon goes where
ex. put a big circuler one in the projectery of a whipper

Post by: Madiaba on May 26, 2009, 06:49:35 PM: Smart Zones are variously shaped transparent, non-collision objects, specifically placed on a bot, so that when its area is violated by another bot, it will trigger a weapon, motor, piston, etc...
