compressor arena crash
« on: February 14, 2008, 05:59:10 AM »
Hiya bot heads.  havnt botted for some years but i jsut found about DSL so jsut installed a fresh RA2 and after a bit of fidling and patching i got DSL to work  all seems good but whenever i enter the Compressor Arena none of the AI bots move and after about 15 seconds (plenty of time for me to drive around the map.. it is there) the game crashes out.

any ideas?

I think that happens to everybody with 2.0......the Beetle Bros were supposed to fix it, but seem to have dissapeared.

I don't know. I don't do DSL much and don't know much about arenas.....Madiaba is the only one around smart enough to answer that question.

try to edit the events and events_2player txt file on the main RA2 directory, changing the arena on the championship. or maybe just forfeit the championship.

ok well... i edit those files, and sure enough i now have parking lot in place of compressor... but it still  exactly the same , no bot movement and crash after 10 secs or so.
 thanks for the help. I guess ill jsut have to avoid crushers and forfeit series to get by

....unless anyone has any other ideas?

ACAMS you say you dont do DSL?? what is/are the alternatives? you play other mods or you play RA2 vanilla?

...Bump...
ACAMS, should I just post (or have you post on GTM) the fix for this problem?  I gave it to CB for the 2.1 patch, but as you know, he's not been around....
Input is appreciated. :)

70C, I ran across the Compressor, and then found the Ocean Platform arena glitches.  I guess I'll give it to ACAMS, and let him deal with it..
