Odd Bot Select Problem.
« on: February 06, 2010, 10:07:32 PM »
Here's the problem. I build a bot, and go to test in exhibition mode. Selecting the bot i want to test doesn't work, it decides to load up either a blank splash thingy which crashes the game, or it loads another bot on another team, which sometimes crashes the game. It decided to start doing this yesterday for no apparent reason, and no apparent cause.

so it doesn't load the robots into exhibition ?

kinda like when my game randomly stopped loading the arenas into exhibition death-match :P

I would export everything and reinstall/ re extract if your using a clean RTR copy

Do you know what team slot it's in?(that's usually the problem if it's in the last slot)

Someone's Teams folder got trashed...

Just go and check if the bots are correctly placed, and if Teams.txt is correctly written and not damaged.

I've had this, something to do with deleting teams. Have you?

is actually sounds like you have less Bot's in the AI folder then in your teams text

example... 6 robots in the teams text and only 4 bot files in the folder

I did a bit of cleanup and deleted a team or two.

Making a new team doesn't do anything.

I completely know what he is talking about, you need to delete ALL teams (Save the robots), then just remake the teams in RA2 with the bots you saved then it should work. This should get stickied.

Saving my bots then deleting all teams solved the problem.

That used to happen to me in Stock. I would load one bot for exhibition, and it would load a bot from a different team.
