Flamethrower crashes RA2

[MikeNCR]

Might be due to me changing a file that I can't remember the name of a long time ago to show all components(includes stock and bot specific parts) causing a conflict somewhere, but whenever I try to pick either the flamethrower on the weapon select page or the one listed under bob's parts it crashes RA2.

Anyone know which file I modified or have any suggestions for fixing the flamethrower?

The BFF is in the Components\Bob folder, and Bob's flamer is i Components\Styles\bobflamer.txt

Maybe replacing the files...

Mike,
Try this.  There is (1)the component.txt, and (2)the component.gmf in the component's directory.
The txt is a medium. It creates a window in the bot lab for a component, and links the component.gmf to this window.
 
So if you have a window in your weapons category, then you have a txt causing that. The questions then become: Is the txt's internal address to the component.gmf correct, and is there a gmf file with that name there?
In other words, either (A)the txt's address is wrong, or (B)the gmf file's name is different or missing all together.
 
 
------------------
Note: If it is a 'Style' component (under a menu of another component), then the txt first re-routes to another txt in the "Styles" folder, then to the component's gmf file. In this case check the txt's address to the 'Styles' txt, then in the "Styles" txt to the component.gmf file.
 
You can reach me on MSN or Yahoo IM. Don't have AIM set up yet...

Here's the odd part, in my components folder, the only flamethrower text that shows up is for Bob's Flamethrower(which is a cheat component)

The txt file for the competition legal flamethrower is missing entirely as far as I can tell. It's also not there in the downloadable dsl components pack. The txt file for the stock flamethrower also appears to be gone.

Edit: Magnet, Stock flamer, and hoverengine all crash the game too, cannon doesn't.

E2: Replaced all components and components.cfz with the DSL2.0 files, flamethrower still crashed the game, which means it's probably something else causing the problem.

I thought Bob's flamethrower wasn't a cheat component.

I thought Bob's flamethrower wasn't a cheat component.

name = Bob Flamethrower
preview = bob_preview.bmp
dir = bob
model = bobflamer.gmf
type = weapons
base = Flamethrower
description = Cheaty flamethrower so Bob can be a lightweight.  "Earwax, flying through space. | How high can you count? | The stars, trimmed with lace, | falling on the mount."
attachsound = sounds\cmp_generic.wav
standard = 1
firesound = sounds\flame_thrower.wav
airmaxinoutrate = -20
hitpoints = 500

Quite the ambitious spambot...

On the flamethrower thing, completely reinstalling dsl seems to have fixed it.
