Title: dsl compressor arena error!
Post by: yahutzee on January 25, 2012, 09:59:28 PM: I am at the crushers tournament in the compressor arena, the battle starts and the enemy doesn´t moves, and after about 10 second it gives me a runtime C++ error. i have seen on other posts that joeblo had a patch for that error, but when i enter its page says that page does not exist. suggestions?

To fix:
In your main RA2 directory, you'll find a txt call 'Events'.
Make a BU.
Open this txt up and then Search for "Platform".
The section looks like this, and double check to make sure you're in the right place:
2
Blades Tournament
<text font fg_mcn14>Format: Rumble | Arena: Ocean Platform | This remote tournament is famous for the extremely destructive blades competitors have to face in the arena, not to mention the water hazard. Don't expect an easy victory.</text>

Then Search for "Compressor".
Do the same here:

This should remedy the glitch.

Post by: Nate Tech on January 26, 2012, 04:55:18 PM: Backup. which means copy the file onto your desktop before you change the file, in case something goes wrong.

i did what you said and it crashes on the leading screen, i have dsl 2.0, does it matter?
Title: Re: dsl compressor arena error!
Post by: Trovaner on January 26, 2012, 07:47:29 PM: That fix only fixes DSL 2.0 and 2.1. If it crashes, you did something wrong or Mad missed a step. Either way, I'll take a look at it when I get to my computer.

i think i copied something wrong, either way, could you please give me the text with the changes done? so i just copy the text onto my computer and eliminate any margin of error

Post by: Trovaner on January 26, 2012, 09:17:16 PM: After applying Mad's fixes, I did a quick check for both the events and everything seemed to be working. Here is a fixed Events.txt (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/DSL_EventsFix.zip).
