Arenas not working
« on: March 01, 2018, 03:52:37 PM »
Apologises in advanced if this has been answered somewhere before but I had a look and couldn't find it.

I tried to use the RW S7 arena in DSL 2.2 so I copied the folder and the py. to go with it into the Areans folder of 2.2 but got this error when I tried to start the match



I've never tried adding arenas from different versions of RA2 before.

What did I do wrong folks?

Did you replace the files when asked?

I know if you run DSL on Windows XP, it does not get that error, try compatibility mode, it MAY work.

Use Craaig/Cephalopod's version. Idk why, but the version from RWRA2 crashes everything in existence.

Yeah, just use the link Silverfish provided.  The issue is that the arena requires a special Hazards.py included in that download that makes the RWS7 Arena work.

try re-installing the arena without skipping ANY files.

Thanks for this, and everyone else for advice :) I swear I looked for this on the arena downloads and couldn't see it.
I think I need another eye test...

Edit - it works perfectly now :D

I think it is missing a py, or a folder (i know standalone rwra2 arena doesnt work)
