THE TUTORIALS DO MAKE SENSE.

Read them very carefully...

Ah, and remove the "read only" tag in all your RA2 files. All the AI folder is read only.

i tried but when i go to drag everything it doesnt ask to overwrite all. it just puts them on there. all the files have no read c except for ai.

Strange. I think now that you really need help.

Remove the read c for AI, but I can't help you anymore.

Does your stock game is alright, everything... it should ask to overwrite all... or is it your comp?

THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT REMOVING READ ONLY IN THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!
Y'all don't confuse him.

You download the .rar file to your desktop...you will need winrar. http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
You create an EMPTY folder on your desktop
You extract the rar to the empty folder
You open C:/Program Files/Infograms/Robot Arena
You drag the contents from the desktop folder into the Robot Arena folder and IT WILL ASK to overwrite unless you have crapassvista the you select copy and replace.

When you try to move the contents of the folder on your desktop you extracted the rar too into the robot aren folder a box will pop up and unless you have AUC disabled the crapassvista will ask you several times or you sure you want to do it.

What folder is this?

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #10 on:** October 23, 2008, 10:27:07 AM »

If you double click that, it will go to the previous folder, wich would be the folder the .rar is located in.

king mager · « **Reply #11 on:** October 23, 2008, 05:27:17 PM »

is there liek a video online to see how to do it? o and beetle it come with the dsl folder when your about to extract it

ACAMS · « **Reply #12 on:** October 23, 2008, 07:42:16 PM »

Lets take this one step at a time.

#1- did you download DSL from https://gametechmods.com/?do=RA2_AIpacks and did you get DSL-TC v2.0 (No Graphics for the Download version of the game)

king mager · « **Reply #13 on:** October 23, 2008, 08:01:06 PM »

yes yes i did

ACAMS · « **Reply #14 on:** October 23, 2008, 08:13:39 PM »

OK, I will assume you downloaded it to your desktop so it will be handy.

#2 - Do you have Winrar http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm ?

ACAMS · « **Reply #15 on:** October 23, 2008, 08:21:01 PM »

I Will assume you have WINRAR by now if you didn't.

#3 - Go to C:\Program Files\Infogrames (assuming that is where you installed your game to) and THEN right click the Robot Arena 2 folder and select Copy....Then click in an empty space BELOW the Robot Arena 2 folder and right click and select Paste........It will make a folder named Copy of Robot Arena 2, you will rename the folder to Robot Arena 2 DSL. (let me know when you catch up and have done EVERYTHING up to this point)

okay i got everything

ACAMS · « **Reply #17 on:** October 24, 2008, 12:28:42 AM »

I have my doubts, but here we go!

#4 - CLOSE ALL windows and on an EMPTY space on your desktop right click and select new and folder.

king mager · « **Reply #18 on:** October 24, 2008, 07:15:36 PM »

okay got new folder

ACAMS · « **Reply #19 on:** October 24, 2008, 08:20:05 PM »

Nevermind, delete the new folder....DSL 2 is different. Just extract it to your desktop and it will make it's own folder.
