i cant figure out how to get them to work. i put them in the components section. it shows them as zip files.

You must EXTRACT them in the components section.

bigbear08 · « **Reply #2 on:** May 26, 2009, 01:18:39 PM »

when i extract them, they show up as a CFZ file and cant be opened.

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.

the lt_tank_trax, lt_beltdrive, nigtmare disk, and dragon motor. the trax and beltdrive show up as an application. when i click on them, i click run, then unzip. then it says 8 items unzipped. but still does not work.

I won't help you to use cheat parts.

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

yes get dsl instead of custom components
the only component you should consider is antimatter. great for making shws

Or Mad's Smartzones.

roboman2444 · « **Reply #8 on:** May 26, 2009, 02:11:00 PM »

yes smartzones that weigh only like .1

bigbear08 · « **Reply #9 on:** May 26, 2009, 02:41:01 PM »

what are smartzones? where do i put DSL-TC to download?

Naryar · « **Reply #10 on:** May 26, 2009, 02:50:49 PM »

In my signature. There is a link.

Also you just need to extract the thing and play.

when i try to play in the arenas, the ground is flat in the king of the hill match. and how do i creat a shortcut for the DSL? whenever i go to play the game, it has to extract all the files first.

bigbear08 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 26, 2009, 06:20:23 PM »

i got the arenas figured out now, but i still cant figure out how to get the shortcut on the dsktop. is there a way i can speed up the game play a bit? my computer is slow when playing in the obstacle course.

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

so how can i get it where i have a desktop icon for the game, and be able to play saved games? whenever i try to play i have to extract the files, and then i dont have my saved game. how can i fix this?

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...

cool. sounds like it will be helpfull once i figure out how to get a desktop icon that works for dsl.

Reier · « **Reply #17 on:** May 27, 2009, 09:27:17 AM »

If you did it right, COPY the icon & PASTE it on the desktop.
