Author Topic: All bot exchange robots crash my game (Read 1997 times)

Hi, I have the Cd version of RA2. I installed it fresh, patched it to 1.2, copyed DSL 1.0 from folder, and copied DSL 1.2 from folder. Now, everything works fine, but every one of the bot exchange (on this site) robots crash my game except one or two. Are there some other components I'm missing or something that I need to load these bots?

You need custom parts to them so they work. That's why I don't use any custom parts in my robots because it is damn hard to make same custom parts so the robot works on your computer too who downloaded it.

But you could try out Beetle's part pack what you will find in beetle's bro's site what is on the page list on the left of these sites homepage.

Well, that didn't work. Installing Beetle's part pack along with DSL totally messed up my game. All of the hiden parts, including the AI motors, became unhidden and some of them were there twice in the list. Also, the bot exchange robots still crashed my game.

Are there any other component packs used by almost all of the bots in the exchange?

You may need to list out which bot that you got from exchange that crashes your game, otherwise it may not be much of help to find the actual problem.

Well, let's see. There's "All Terrain Train", "Bladezilla", "Bumble Bot", "Carousel", "Centrifuge", "Da' Washin Machine", "Gyrator Super Bot", "Heavy Pounder", "Kill Zone #2", and "Red Destroyer". All of those crashed my game with DSL 1.0 and 1.2 installed. The only bot I've gotten from the exchange that works so far is "LOLLERBOT".

To anyone who these bots will work for, please open one in the bot lab and tell me what custom components they are using.

Ok, guess what...

ALL BOT FILES THAT WAS UPLOADED BEFORE JUNE 2005 ARE CORRUPTED DUE TO SERVER PROBLEM

Well I can't do anything about the corrupt files except delete them.

If you are seeing 2 of the same parts with the same name then delete the Components.cfz in your main RA2 DSL folder.

Oh, okay. I guess those files should be deleted then.
