Mysterious Multiextenders

[Resetti's Replicas]

for some reason, my copy of the DSL version shows 2 "Multiextenders" windows in the Extenders menu.  When I delete the "multiextender" file, one of them dispppears and the other still stays.  However, when I try to change the "preview" it doesn't affect anything.

Can anyone figure out what may be causing this, I'm worried that my multiexteders are incompatible with other people's games (hence why so many of my bots crash their games)

I have the DarkPacks installed, I know there's a multiextender in that pack, could be the problem.  Does anyone know how to decompile the Dark Pack CFZ's, using uncfl doesn't seem to work.

Do you know why it doesn't work?

Oh, and tell me which Dark Pack and I'll look into it.

V2.0, I think.

Could you send me your copy of the clean Multiextender folder and txt files?

I was planning to download the DarkPack v2, decompile it, and send you all the text files.

Ok, so I made a new copy of RA2 DSL and deleted the Darkrat CFZ's.  Hopefully that will fix the problem.  GK (or anyone), could you try importing this robot into a clean copy of RA2 DSL?  If it works, I've found the problem:

It worked nicely.

SR(and anyone else interested), for future reference and to make it easier to find problems, here's a basic picture of this part of the game:

How it works:
-A txt causes a component 'window' to appear in the lab. 
-The txt connects this 'window' to that component's folder, in which is:
      (1) the preview.bmp (which is seen as you scroll through the component 'windows'),
         and
      (2) the actual component's gmf file (if you select it). 
 
 
Problem/Solution: So, if you have 2 preview windows then there are 2 txts for this component present somewhere.  Remove the unwanted one.
 
 
Locations: A txt could be in 2 places and in 2 forms: (A) as a txt (which would be in the 'Components' directory), or (B) compressed in a cfz (in the main 'Robot Arena 2' directory).
 
 
Hopefully, this info will help facilitate less dependence on others.

In DSL if you have that type problem just delete the Components.cfz and duplicate components will dissapear. (unless you added custom components)
 
Don't EVER add custom components to DSL, UNLESS you really know what you are doing.

I don't think it takes much, I got FBs component pack in fine
