Adding new bots to the Robot Wars RA2 Mod+ .
« on: September 16, 2016, 07:04:37 PM »
First off let me apologise since this is probably a really stupid post that a simple search would solve.
I installed the Robot Wars RA2 mod recently and decided I would add all of the AI bots to my team list so that I can use the robots as well (I remember doing something like this on my old RA2 file but I can't remember since this was months ago). However literally nothing changes once I put the teams into my folder. I'd like a bit of help on how to add these bots for the AIs into my team list because I'm sure there is a step I'm missing.

Here is a list of what I did
1: Copy all of the AI team folders
2: went to my team folder and paste the teams there.
While nothing is broken the teams just don't show up when I load the game. Sorry if this post is pointless and too long but I just really can't remember how this game works after not playing for so long

Did you put the folders into Robot Designs?

You're supposed to put the files themselves into Robot Designs, not the folders. Make sure you rename the the files once you move them over to Robot Designs, otherwise you'll only have 6, since it'll always ask you if you'd wanna replace the file

Most of the AI are already found under "Import Robot."


If you want to though, go into the folders in the AI folder and copy all of the .bot files.


Paste them in the "Robot Designs" folder.


Go into ra2 into a team and then click an empty space.


click "import."


find your bot and click the import button.


wait for it to load.


done!

:p


Also, capitalizing the p (like this: :P ) won't cause the emote.

They all already come in the Robot Designs folder ready for use, we knew people would want to use the replicas. :)
