Author Topic: ! dsl2.rar: Unexpected end of archive? (Read 2993 times)

Whenever I try to open dsl2.rar in WinRAR, it gives me the message
"! dsl2.rar: Unexpected end of archive"
Then, when I open the file, there's only a UI folder and nothing else.

I'm using the CD version of RA2.

Also, is there anywhere with step-by-step instructions on installing DSL 2.0?

Oh. Well. Yes. That helps.

Did it work, or are you still getting the end of archive message?

Worked Perfectly.
Now the only problems are a few components crashing the game when I click on them, but that's a problem I've faced for a while and I've gotten used to it.

All of those are non-DSL2 components, correct? There is no reason any of the standard components would crash.

They're components that were included in either the stock RA2 or DSL2, because those are the only two versions applied in my RA2 folder.

Then something is wrong. Do you have that problem where all the cheatbot2 parts are unhidden? (to test, enter cheatbot2 and see if anything new appears)

If not, what parts are crashing?

Nothing new appears via the cheatbot2 code.

Also, there's only one component I'm sure crashes the game, and that's the flamethrower. The rest are blank images. But not all of the blank images, some of them work. And I've got no way of telling what components they are beforehand.

EDIT: Also, whatever is to the right of the Brushless Piglet Motor in the Motors section.

EDIT: The Nightmare Disc in the Extenders section. (I would have no use for that anyway, but for the

of posting.)

EDIT: Whatever is to the right of whatever is to the right of the Brushless Piglet Motor in the motors section.

EDIT: All the motors between the Brushless Piglet and the little weak antweight motor.

EDIT: "Frenzystuff" in the Extras section.

EDIT: Whatever's to the right of Diablo's Drum in the weapons section

I'm really not interested in the AI Replica parts.. and they seem to be the ones crashing a lot. Any way to remove only the AI Replica parts?

Yeah, that's the "all parts unhidden" glitch. I'm not sure what causes it. You did install the 1.2/1.3 patch before installing DSL right?

Xikaze · « **Reply #10 on:** November 04, 2006, 07:51:46 PM »

Nope. That ought to be it, then?
So now just make a fresh copy of RA2, install the 1.2/1.3 patch, then DSL2.0?

Yep. I think so.

Works like a charm now, thanks.
