Title: Game crashes on DSL bot import.
Post by: Flashback on May 11, 2010, 10:56:19 AM
WHAT DID I DO WRONG? I reinstalled robot arena, then downloaded Robot Wars arena, then I downloaded DSL AI and DSL COMPONENTS. I replaced current Robot Designs and Components folders with the new ones. NOW IT CRASHES! I think it has something to do with the motherboard. It doesnt appear in the botlab. HELP!

It is much easier, Flashback, if you just download the whole DSL by itself: http://raw.gametechmods.com/Shhhh/DSL21.rar (http://raw.gametechmods.com/Shhhh/DSL21.rar)

ARGH GK stop replying so fast...

--- my original post which didnt post as it told me GK posted but is still helpful ----

sounds like your lacking components which = crashing

http://raw.gametechmods.com/Shhhh/DSL21.rar (http://raw.gametechmods.com/Shhhh/DSL21.rar)

download a copy of DSL 2.1 from that link.. all you must do is extract the files and its ready to go.. no installing or anything.. just extract and play

I'm on my parents computer and I'm not allowed to download the WHOLE dsl. Just components and bots.

thats essentially all dsl is..

if you downloaded DSL 2 and the 2.1 patch and the bots you would have downloaded close to the same amount

it sounds like your game is incomplete which is why you have errors... this is not only you best option but really your only one beyond a reinstall

I just reinstalled RA2 and downloaded FULL DSL. Then it brings up a list of all the files. Arenas, bots, components, EVERYTHING, not just a DSL folder in WINZIP.

What do I click?
