Title: Please Help Me!!
Post by: GarvinTheGreat on June 05, 2011, 05:43:15 PM
So you know how in DSL you export your bot to Robot Designs and you put it in a tournement. Well how do I do that in stock. I have the CD version of stock so to get to the files I have to open Start menu and find it from there. But when I export my bot it dosnt show up in the Robot Designs Folder. Please Help.

C:/Windows/Infogrames/Robot Arena 2/Robot Designs, I should think that'd be it.

Here is the thing, It shows up as a disk thing (Robot Arena 2 (D:) Or somthing like that. I can only view the files when I have the Disk in. But when I put the disk in and I look at the Robot Designs it is not there,just the pre-made ones.

You mean the downloaded RA2. Im entering a bot for a tournement and rebuilding it would suck.

No, I mean the discless patch on the downloads page of the forum. With that, I (think) you should be able to get the bot without rebuilding.

I dunno, I ain't used it. I guess you'd just run the .exe and that's it.

Hmm. Try moving the files on your CD into a folder onto your desktop, or do 'the other method'.

You must have Vista....do a search for the bot name and it will be in a compatibility folder.

Post by: Sparkey98 on June 05, 2011, 06:25:30 PM
On Vista, it paths the folders to Program Files(x86)

Go get 1.4.Ready to go, and then export bot(or just do this in the version you have) and if its vista then move over to the compatibility files button and click. Then it will pop up.if not, WTF?
