So I extract the AIphasim RWAI and now I have the folder, but how do I play the actual game?
-
Oh my. You need to put those files into a stock game. You get stock, you copy those files into the Robot Arena 2 file, say yes to overwriting everything, and there you go.
-
I overwrite it and then do I press yes, or yes to all. I pressed yes to all and the folder didnt change at all( stayed stock) after I have them copied how do I play the game.
-
Anyone?
-
You're an idiot.
-
You dont need to remind me. LOL.

You dont need to remind me. LOL.

Omg guise I'm sorry i so dumblolol
-
Hey,On topic. I need this answeared.
-
OK everything is pasted. Now How I play
-
Fine... You do exactly what you normally would to play the stock game.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36248untitled.JPG) How do I play.
-
You screwed up somehow... I don't know how, but you did.
I'm not patient enough for this crap... I'm out.
-
Don't highlight everything when you replace the folders...
-
I need Craaigs help. His advice always works.
-
Don't highlight everything when you replace the folders...
This.
-
My brain hurts now.
-
That's because you never use it. It needs exercise!

After downloading Alphasim RWAI Pack, there should be a file named 'RWAI_Pack.ace'. Open that file using WinRAR and you'll see a folder named 'RWAI_Pack'. Since that folder's contents are similar to those of a stock install, we'll replace the stock files with these (not all of the 16 files are found in the stock install but they must ALL get copied over). Since we want to make sure that all the files get transfered, we'll extract to the desktop first. To do this, click the 'Extract To' button while looking directly at the previously mentioned RWAI_Pack folder (making sure that nothing is selected when we do this). In the window that pops up, select the Desktop icon and click OK. When it is finished, open the newly created folder on your desktop and make sure all 16 files are still there. Lastly, you will need to select all 16 files and copy/paste them into a stock install's main directory (the folder containing the EXE).

By no means any offense to anyone..
But this is exactly my motive behind the Backlash updater app..
-
But there is no RWAI_Pack.ace.
Step by step.
My downloads screen(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/21951untitled.JPG)
Robot wars AI pack contents(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/25103untitled111.JPG)
Robot wars 1.4 insides(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/929superduper.JPG)
So basicly what I did was, Download AI pack, Download fresh copy of RA2(V 1.4), I copied the folders one at a time in AI(arenas, components,AI one at a time) And tried to copy them in Robot Arena2, THe windo came up saying "Do you wish to overrite these files" with options,"Yes" "Yes to all" and Cancel. I clicked yes to all, I looked in the folder and it was still the same RA2 stuff. So I deleted everything in RA2 and Pasted the Folders from AI pack. And now Im here.
-
They are reskins, you numpty!
-
Wha?
-
I looked in the folder and it was still the same RA2 stuff. So I deleted everything in RA2 and Pasted the Folders from AI pack. And now Im here.
Jesus Christ.
You needed that stuff for the game to work!
Start over, get a fresh copy of Ra2. Copy the RWAI folder's contents over into Ra2. Say yes to all when it asks to overwrite. Then try running the game and find the ai robots.
Don't delete anything.
Edit: Dammit Madman I was gonna use the word numpty.
-
You did right until "So I deleted everything in RA2..." >.> Just do everything before that again and run Robot Arena 2.exe. The folders haven't changed; only their contents, so after you do "Yes to All" just run the .exe.
-
Wha?
Do exactly what we say if you expect to be helped. Trovaner isn't a technical adviser for nothing.
-
So I deleted everything in RA2.
Whoops :rolleyes:
-
Why the heck delete everything in RA2? We wouldn't say paste it into there if you didn't need all that stuff. You paste it in, press yes to all, then just play it as you would. It's all done. It's that simple.
-
I'm so gonna sig-quote this thread.
-
How do I quote somthing from a pos, Ya know just quote a part of a text.
-
Press quote, and the remove the part you don't want to quote.
-
I'm so gonna sig-quote this thread.
Sounds like a plan.
-
HAHA. Look at my sig. Isnt there a thread where you can post quotes.
-
HAHA. Look at my sig. Isnt there a thread where you can post quotes.
And isn't there a space in your "Isnt" for an apostrophe? :trollface
-
Oh wait never mind I found it.
-
Can I make this sig my propertie.
-
Can I make this sig my propertie.

Nope. Anyone can use it.

So what happens if me and Fracture have the same one( Well mines a bit different)

Oh, it's very simple, you have to fight to the death to establish supremacy and the rights to the quote.

...
I have no comment.
As for the actual topic...have you tried what we said yet to get the RWAI pack to work?
-
No, but this thing about sig will not end. Well settle it later.
-
It's a signature... It doesn't matter if people have the same... People can put what they want there, you can't own rights to something like that.
But yes, BOT please. That means Back On Topic, Garvin.
-
Video Tutorial. I dont understand any of this. Im gonna end up deleting somthing again.
-
Most people have to try really hard to be this obtuse.
-
You don't understand? You just have to do the same thing you did before but don't do the last step...can you not do it again?
-
You don't need a video tutorial. You had it right, just you then deleted the contents of the folder. YES IT WILL LOOK THE SAME WHEN YOU PUT THE STUFF INTO IT AND HAVE CLICKED YES TO ALL. This is normal. DO NOT DELETE EVERYTHING WHEN YOU'VE DONE THIS and just PLAY IT XD
-
Yes but how do I play it after that.
-
Same way you play Stock RA2.
-
Yeah but regualar stock has a little RA2 thingy that you just click it and BAM! your playing.
This one just has folders. No BAM! thingy
-
1. Copy the files you extracted
2. Paste into stock RA2 game - nothing deleted - a full, normal game.
3. Press yes to all overwriting
4. Use Robot Arena 2.exe to play
IT'S REALLY NOT THAT HARD. Seriously, I'm gonna start giving up on helping because you post another silly question every 2 days or so.
-
Yeah. So click the little RA2 thingy.
-
1. Copy the files you extracted
2. Paste into stock RA2 game - nothing deleted - a full, normal game.

Im at 3. right now. But where can I find this Robot arena 2.exe thing. I checked winrar folder. Please dont give up, your the only one that makes sense.
-
Ohhhh my gooooddddddd. It's the thing you click to play the game. All I'm telling you to do in Step 4 is play the game.
-
click the little RA2 thingy.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37619untitled.JPG) WHERE!!!!!
-
Run the same one you use to play Stock. (should be in the Robot Arena v1.4 folder)
-
Arggg! WHAT! I have RA2 desktop version.
-
Arggg! WHAT! I have RA2 desktop version.
Sounds like a you problem.
-
Instead of just giving excuses, maybe you should actually try what we tell you...
-
I dont get what your telling me. I went to the folder and clicked on everything. Nothing. Am I supposed to play the one on the desktop. The one I have to put the CD in.
-
I am going to try my hand at this in explaining the reasoning behind the instructions.
When you download packs for RA2 they overwrite existing RA2 files and modify the game.
So, essentially, you can have several different copies of RA2 on your computer, but each one can have its own unique mod for it. You might be getting mixed up because I don't think that anyone has explained that in order to add the pack to RA2 you should just add it to a separate complete copy of RA2 on your computer.
You already have RA2 stock on your computer. Cool, leave that one alone and remember where it is installed on your computer.
In order to install this pack you need to extract it and dump it into a totally new fresh copy of RA2 on your computer.
Each copy of RA2 you have on your computer will function independently and will only load the files that are associated with the folder it is contained within.
There really isn't any need to download RA2 again if you have a functioning copy of it on your computer. In fact, if your stock copy of RA2 is working fine... locate the master folder for RA2 on your computer. Right click on the folder and select copy. Go to your desktop and right click on your desktop and select paste. This will make a complete copy of RA2 for you to mod. It will be independent from your original copy. Follow the steps that everyone has given you but dump all the folders into the Desktop copy of RA2 that you just made. Say yes to overwriting all the files and then when it is done you can open that folder and play that game like normally would. Your stock version on your computer will remain the same, but you will have a SECOND game on your desktop that you can launch and play.
If you decide to download another pack, please repeat the process and make another copy of RA2 from your stock folder (that way that one doesnt get screwed up and you can use that as the foundation for your other copies of RA2 on your computer)
Just remember, for each mod you install, you should have a fresh full copy of stock to add it to. For example, I have 6 copies of RA2 on my computer... each game has its own mod or pack. I build bots within each of them, but they are all independent from each other.
hope this helps some.
-
So I go to start menu, Find the ACTUAL RA2 folder ,copy it and paste it, and put the mod in it? I went to the RA2v1_00(D:) And I right clicked on it. It didnt have the copy menu.
-
So far: I have a new copy of Ra2( Version 1.4) I overrited the AI and added the arnas and components in. But Im still confused how I play it. All it is is folders. They dont let me play. I checked the WinRAR folder but that dont help either.
-
Give up. Just give up. This thread made my brain collapse Like the World Trade Center. Zing!

In the Robot Arena v1.4 folder there should be a bunch of folders e.g. AI, Arenas, Components, Teams, UI, etc. and if you scroll down below those folders there should be a Robot Arena 2.exe. Double-click it.
-
When I first downloaded it, It only AI folder. Then I replaced it and added Arenas and Components.
-
Where did you download it from? If you got it from the GTM Downloads page, redownload it and before replacing the folders with the RWAI folders check inside to see that everything is there. (most importantly, a Robot Arena 2.exe)
-
DELETE EVERYTHING
DOWLOAD A NEW STOCK RA2
DRAG CONTENTS INTO NEW STOCK RA2 FOLDER
IF IT ASKS TO REPLACE FILES SAYS YES
LAUNCH .EXE FILE
PLAY DAMN YOU.

A link to the right one please.

A link to the right one please.

The last one I download was messed up.
-
I got it.( I didnt let it extract the whole way) Now I added the AI, Arenas and Components and Pasted them, Said Yes to All. It suscefully replaced them, I clicked the RA2 logo and started playing. BUT everything was still stock. The arenas AI were all stock. What now.
-
Someone just compile it as a full pack so Gar Samuelson can figure it out.
-
You didn't let it extract the whole way? What does that even mean?
-
Well,im wasteing my time now.But ill give you a special copy.Ready made.
