Title: Multiple RA2 working
Post by: ashman12 on July 30, 2010, 11:42:49 AM: Is there anyway to have multiple RA2's set up without having to change them everytime.

Example : I have 3 copies of RA2. Starcore/DSL/Stock and i would like to be able to play each one separately without having to change the folders around.

Is this possible?

I currently have 29 different RA2 installs :gawe:

I dont think you understand.

What i mean is i have 3 icons for RA2 on my desktop one named Starcore, one named DSL and one named Stock.

I want to be able to click the icon to load up DSL and after closing DSL, click the icon to load up Stock and it loads up stock without having to swap the RA2 folders.

@Joe do you mean i have the infogames folder and i have the 3 RA2 copies in there.

Cheers for the help everyone.

or as I do one shortcut to the infogames folder

Easy way = Download both stock and DSL from my signature. They are standalone games. Just create a shortcut by right-clicking the Robot Arena 2.exe and selecting "Create Shortcut." Rename the shortcut to whatever you want and then put it on the desktop.

Another easy way = Copy the folder you have twice, rename the folder to three different things, and create the shortcuts like I told you how in the first way.

Post by: ashman12 on July 30, 2010, 12:29:49 PM: yea its because the way you explained it was ust to swap the RA2 folders around everytime.

Post by: G.K. on July 30, 2010, 01:00:46 PM: It actually wasn't, but never mind.
