Team HQ Events Images Missing

[thurston_studios]

Hello there gametechmods,
I have been working on a modded version of RA2 that includes different version parts and a few other changes. My latest addition has been to add more AI teams to the events available, and I have hit an aesthetic snag in my plans. Checking out the events page (in team HQ), I find that all the images for the events are nothing more than blank white images.

I was just wondering if one of you modders out there would know just where in the game files I might have a conflict or missing file that might cause this error. Any help would be much appreciated

RA2 doesn't support having more than 16 teams in events. Check out the downloads section for a batch file that fixes this issue somewhat.

The white pictures are an indication that there is a problem in the Events.txt file. There is no conflict or missing files.

Isnt sending batch files over the internet illegal?

[Trovaner]

Nope. Its completely legal.

thanks I will look into that
I am assembling a modded version of the game for a friend, and it is largely new territory for me

Thanks man, I fixed the images (easy enough)

Was wondering about the batch file, and how stable it is? Thinking of incorporating that as part of a new .exe so that the game would always have access to the Jim's Mod expanded AI inclusions.

It has never not worked for me but I would still suggest keeping a backup of anything that can't be redownloaded. Any time you are messing with a bunch of files on a filesystem, you run the risk of corrupting one or making it unusable. For example, shutting down the computer or terminating the batch file before it has a chance to finish may cause either of these issues to present themselves depending on where it is in terms of execution.

backups for your backups, much agreed
