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.

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?

cephalopod · « **Reply #44 on:** May 25, 2011, 05:03:30 PM »

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

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #45 on:** May 25, 2011, 05:05:45 PM »

Yes but how do I play it after that.

Fracture · « **Reply #46 on:** May 25, 2011, 05:07:16 PM »

Same way you play Stock RA2.

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #47 on:** May 25, 2011, 05:09:43 PM »

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.

Fracture · « **Reply #49 on:** May 25, 2011, 05:21:07 PM »

Yeah. So click the little RA2 thingy.

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.

Sounds like a you problem.

Instead of just giving excuses, maybe you should actually try what we tell you...

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #58 on:** May 25, 2011, 06:38:06 PM »

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.

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #59 on:** May 25, 2011, 06:52:18 PM »

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.
