Title: Determined specific cause of ONE crash in DSL 1.0
Post by: fractalmbrown on April 21, 2006, 04:03:51 PM
Alrighty... I need to know exactly how and which component to delete from the mod on this: there is a certain component in the weapons tab that will crash the game if you click on it. (Robot arena 2.exe has encountered an error and needs to close ... winxp)

The weapon is directly to the right of the DSL Teeth that have four choices available, and the picture of it looks like a single metal shark's tooth. All I need to know is how to delete it and which component it is. I'll edit this post if I find any other faulty components. My theory is that stability can massively be improved if we have working components...  :wink:

EDIT 1:
By the way, I have the CD version of RA2, and the downloaded 1.2 patch (official to the game, NOT the DSL 1.2 patch)

On me it doesn't crash on anything when I have 1.20 version of the game and 1.2 DSL.

Espect sometimes randonly and then when I alt tab on desktop and then click ra2 from taskbar beside insted of alt tabing again. Or when I have done some own test stuffs in it.

Hmm... no crashes in 1.2 DSL? What is your setup, and how did you install it? (Include OS and mobo/proc type)

I installed my own CD edition of the game from the cd as normally. (Ask those instructions by PM.) And then patched the game. Checked that it is 1.20 version.

Then extracted DSL to temp folder and then went to Robot Arena 2 folder and then selected all and then right clicked and went to properties. Then I unchecked read-only tick.

Then I copied all DSL stuff under DSL temp folder and then pasted them under RA2 folder and it asked me to overwrite this file by this and click yse to all.

Now extract DSL 1.2 to new temp folder and then copy and paste everything again under RA2 folder and then again overwrite everything what it asks.

Now run the game and it should work.

I have windows XP home edition.

There isn't any 1.20 version of the game there is only patch on http://www.robotarena.com 's site. Run that while you have cd in your drive and when the patching is finished check the credits and there somewhere should read 1.20.

Now the game is 1.20 version.

my brother deleted the files of ra2 and i dont have the cd
isnt there another way :?:

one more thing for all that have the downloaded version of ra2: if DSL dont work (like crashes) its because that is the cd version that u downloaded (i think) or u dont read the heck of the instructions :!:  :!:  :!:

EDIT: in the instructions of the downloaded version of dsl it says that u have to run the download thing (.bat) on file but everyone says that they cant find that file but for your information its on the files of dsl cd version, i think the dsl team have to do an update for the site and dsl 1.0  :roll:
