rename "botapp.asdf" to "botapp.exe"

its as simple that...

look through the files winrar gave you find "botapp.asdf"

and rename "botapp.asdf" to "botapp.exe"

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #103 on:** May 12, 2011, 07:20:45 PM »

Also I went to the WinRAR folder( Not the acual folder) and clicked on botapp. But how so I rename.
EDIT: Not sure if this is right but in the file thing at the top it says rename. Do I click that.

Now that I renamed it botapp.exe how do I play it

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #106 on:** May 12, 2011, 07:46:12 PM »

it's a shame that all the work is gone, the game is great fun as it is right now.

All the work is gone? What happened? This is an AWSOME game BTW. Almost as good as stock RA2. I would pay 13 bucks as of now. But what are the contols. I know W and E is forward and S and D is backward. Whats the rest?

Frenzy's weapon is space and shift and space to turn on Nightmare and Minion's discs (you don't have to hold it, just press it).

Yeah. It's hard, but you'll get used to it.

Im getting better at it, but whats a source code, the thing they lost?

...it's what you need to make a game. without it, there's nothing. stop posting about this, you are NOT capable of making RA3. Please lurk more before you try to make major contributions.

I know IM not capable, I never said I was. Those threads I made, I just thought that maybe we could rebuild it( WE as in you guys) It would be a miracle if I could mod but im not good with computers.

if you lurked like i just told you to, you would know that we have TRIED COUNTLESS AMOUNTS OF TIMES. IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. END OF DISCUSSION.

RpJk · « **Reply #118 on:** May 15, 2011, 02:21:10 PM »

I have tried the game and I loved it. Cant someone decipher the source code from the game? And anyways who knows what could happen he could probably try to do it again

nightcracker · « **Reply #119 on:** June 10, 2011, 05:47:57 AM »

@RPJK (if you still read this after so long): Sadly it's impossible to create "useful" source code out of a binary. It is possible to create a "source code file" from a binary that will compile, but that's not useful. All the variables will names like "awf2f" instead of "number_of_bullets_left". Despite common belief source code is for humans, not for computers.

Oh dear, oh dear. How can people always lose source code in some way? Even the bigger projects only are 1MB of source code in total.

If I ever get my hands on a lot of free time I am willing to make "RA3". Before you start yelling "NOT GOING TO HAPPEN" and "YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT", yes I do. I can't handle it alone, but if we can get a team together (maybe with http://gamedev.net/) we can do it.

Just my 2 (euro)cents.
