Errors, any help?
« on: May 05, 2010, 08:10:58 PM »
Hello, first let me say that I am new here, but I don't wish to be a pest. I've been a fan of Battlebots and Robot wars but I lucked out on obtaining copies of the games when they hit the shelves (Console version) Robot Arena 2 is pretty much the next best thing. I've seen numerous of threads that have talked about a similar problem that I'm about to address. That problem being DSL downloads, I can download DSL v2.0 and 2.1 and the game works fine, but the moment I download Bots like Robot Wars bots or vice verse, the game starts up and doesn't respond afterward, remaining on the first screen. I will say that no, i do not have the CD version, I downloaded a well working torrent. If i need the CD for those other downloads then that's just my luck. But another question is, I've noticed that I've downloaded bots like Ziggo, Sir Killalot, Growler, Wheelie Big Cheese, Razer, etc and so on, BUT When I go to select a bot, not all are found, how can that be fixed? Or where can i find them? Or if it's a bother to help, would someone please kindly guide me to a thread in where my recent questions can be answered? Much appreciated in advance.

Even the Torrent isn't the best choice. You should download them from the links in my signature. They are the full working games. I've never downloaded Robot Wars bots, but it should work better.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

I have not downloaded any of those bots myself. But just be aware that some bots have custom components, and you cannot use them in your game unless you have added the custom components as well.

Sage is right. The link in his sig is the cat's meow. (whatever that means)

Thank you both, I'll try those. Jack though, I did notice some bots (DSL v2.0 AI bots to be exact) needed the custom components, and I did get just those as well, but when I fired the game up, it caused the freeze at the first screen. But I will try your download Sage, I'm hoping I will get better results, thank you both.
