OOOooooo sounds shiney :D
You can't get RA1 components or arenas to work in RA2. They're made with an earlier version of 3DSM and saved in a different gmf format that's incompatible.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.
Maybe with Max you could convert RA1 arenas/components into RA2 stuff, but not with Dummy's compiler. I've tried decompiling RA1 stuff and it works about as well as importing an RA1 bot into RA2.
