CHD, Go into your main RA2 directory. Find the 'Events.txt' and open it. Then search for 'Platform'.

Then in this arena's section, change the bottom numbers to match these:

Ocean Platform Arena
E-24 | Format: 4-player | Arena: Ocean Platform Arena | It's hard enough to get your bot running at this harsh event, let alone defeat your opponent.
2
Arenas\event_results\prizes\RA_Box\RA_Box.gmf
You should probably read this book if you haven't already.
Arenas\event_results\prizes\Value_Meal\value_meal.gmf
Well, you made it past the first round. All participants get a free Biggie Value Meal.
Arenas\event_results\prizes\Junior_Trophy\junior_trophy.gmf
You won the event! You'll take home this very nice trophy.

Do the same with the Compressor arena (noting that these numbers are different than the 'Ocean Platform' above):

Compressor
E-20 | Format: 4-player | Arena: Compressor Arena | Some die-hard Battlebots fans have re-opened this famous arena for an underground tournament. Don't tell the authorities.
2
Arenas\event_results\prizes\RA_Box\RA_Box.gmf
You won the first round. but that's it.
Arenas\event_results\prizes\VCR_Series\VCR_Series2.gmf
You won TWOrounds of this event. You get the famous Warez NotePad Suite.
Arenas\event_results\prizes\dsl\nuttrophy.gmf
You took FIRST PLACE in this event! You won the Giant Nut!

Then save and try it out...

Um I'm not so good with notepad mad but i will give it a whack

(Edit: I can't do it I'm such a bumbling idiot it still gives me a c++ error during exhibition matches)

the events.txt is a pretty simple layout, nothing to confusing

Do you have the 2.1 patch? I could swear I included this fix with the DSL 2.1 patch.

Joe, thanks for going out of your way to help out.

CB, I think it was accidently not included in the shuffle.
