I think reinstalling the Bulldog Breed bot file from a fresh copy of DSL could work.

All of HoJ's txt files start with "bb" for "big bot" (this was before it was named) and so do Bulldog Breed's files ("bb" for "bulldog breed"). Bulldog Breed's txt file is in Components.cfz, while HoJ's is in the Components folder. txt's in the Components folder always override the cfz, so Bulldog Breed ends up with HoJ parts. There's nothing wrong with the .bot file; it's a conflict of file names. And I'm guessing the name in question is "bbtop.txt"

Which means there are two ways to solve the problem. One, delete Hammer of Justice off your DSL game. Or two, rename the bbtop.txt in your Components folder to something else. You'll have to know what you're doing to do that, though. In order for HoJ to still work, you will need to edit the .bot file and change the name of the txt file in there too.

I'm surprised no one has encountered this before. If I'm right, this will always happen if you try to put Hammer of Justice in DSL.

Post by: Madiaba on March 10, 2009, 11:18:09 PM: I've run into the same when modding a new arena from a present one. If I don't change all of the gmf and bmp names, it will sometimes use a file from the original arena's directory, instead of it's own directory. I assumed then that the exe when loading just systematically goes down through all the arena folders looking for a specifically named file, until it finds one with the right name and loads it.

I would imagine that the exe does the same through the Components directory...

Makes for a 'mean dog' though.
