DSL 2.2 bots not saving
« on: June 16, 2017, 07:01:03 AM »
So I reinstalled DSL2.2 to fix a crashing issue, and now it doesn't crash, instead, it doesn't save bots when I exit the builder. Plz help  :(

I don't think it's read only... it says on the file if it is, right. This copy also crashes when I try to import a robot

Right. Check all the folders (The Teams folder in particular) are in to see if they are read-only as well.

Nope. I did find some folders (the .gib files) that windows hadn't found a program to open, is that OK?

What GIB files?
The Components are GIB files.I do not think thats a problem.

What you can do, is go to the properties for the whole folder RA2 and If its read only change it.
I heard someone had a similar problem and fixed it with the command prompt.

It is read only and my problem is the same as the one from Asbestossar's link(thx). I have no idea what command prompts are or how to use them tho.Edit: tried using command prompt to fix and failed. Probably because I couldn't find any instructions for windows 6, which is what my crappy computer uses.

When You say 6 do you mean NT 6?
Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008?
Did you do what Badger said in the other thread for the command prompt?

Have you tried right click -> properties?



Also, I've had problems in the past whenever RA2's been in my "Program Files" folder. If it's in there I'd suggest moving it to somewhere else.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

rm -rf /
U mean this Asbestosstar? I mean I typed this into command prompt and it said it wasn't recognised. Mr.AS, when I uncheck read only it doesn't actually stop being read only, and RA2 is not in my programs folder.

Nope, stock is fine. Also, I forgot to mention, I don't extract RA2 with winrar, I have to use openit, cos I do this on a family computer without access to the administrator
