You should know that:

Winrar Help file + DSL Install Tutorials + Brain = Road to Success

[Serge]

A winrar is you.

[Naryar]

LOLz

That's fun, i put Winnar first for the solution but then changed it to Road to Success because it's more classy.

Alright, gametechmods != 4chan's /b/.

you put the Winrar file in the folder (such as, if it is a bot, you put it into the Robot Designs folder), right click it, and press "Extract Here".

Did you ever figure it out cause its not working for me either. I tried taking the robot wars arena, extracted it, and put it into the "arenas" folder in robot arena 2 folder and i fire up the game and the new arena isn't there. And no one can tell me why.

[HOUNDOGG]

Do you to already have WinRar.

[Naryar]

if you're not good with computers, then you won't get DSL. It's really a basic thing to do.

I have winrar. I know you can extract the files with it. I found you can right click on a robot from battlebots (after its extracted)and then click "add to archive". Under the archive name I can change the file name. Cause I think I have to change it from a rar file to a bot file cause I put eachrobot in the robot designs in ra2 file. Then upload them after starting the game. But when I go to click on the name of the bot in the game when trying to upload it, the computer comes out of the game and shuts it down. I still think I'm doing something wrong. what am I doing wrong?

Does the bot use custom components? If it does, it will just crash the game.

To extract the Rar or Zip file. Right click it, and when the little menu pops up, click "Extract Here"

Actually I believe the robots do use custom components. I downloaded all the battlebot stuff. What file do I change the components to in order to make them work. The same thing happens with them too. I put the extracted files into components file in ra2 and I see empty spaces while playing the game with the weapons and other things but clicking on them crashes the game. Whats my next step?

 I have gotten that far. Everyone is telling me to just drop the folders into the game but I don't think thats how you do it. I'm pretty sure everything has to be put in a certain place. For example, a robot from the battlebots folder,must be put in the robot designs folder in the ra2 file right? I have managed to use the winrar to change the battlebots robots files into a bot file. I also found out that if the bots use custom weapons, the game will crash, which is whats been happening. The components file in ra2 is where I should put the custom weapons and accessories right? If thats the case, each custom weapon seems to be a folder. I think they all have a gmf file or something. Some have pictures of the weapon or whatever item. Some have other contents in them. There is a weapon folder entitled, "hazardblade". It has the same gmf file as the ra2 folder has in the components file but when I put it in the components file in ra2, it isn't there in the game. There is a space in the weapons selection during the game but no picture and no description and clicking on it makes the computer come out of the game. Now what?

I am not sure because I never actually downloaded the pack. I just know how to use WinRar. I know other people know this though.
Is there any news on anything about the AU Battlebots getting into DSL anytime soon?

I thought the dsl was what i downloaded when downloading the battlebots packs. I started another thread in the technical support about this but the people that answered didn't help and said i was babbling and stuff and seemed to rather complain that im going to for posting a question on a forum rather than help answer it for me. Doesn't dsl stand for the guys who made it?

Well first thing your doing wrong is even downloading the BB ai pack. Most replicas arent that amazing and the ones that are good are in DSL. Download dsl 2.0 for CD or DL game depending on what you have. Open it in Winrar and ectract the entire thing to the destop. Then go into the folder that was extracted to the destop and highlight everyhing and right click and click cut. Then go into your RA2 folder. In the RA2 folder click paste. Click yes to all and let it overwrite what it needs to. Then start up the game and it should work.

So basically the things to download in on the site here for the battlebots stuffisn't all that great? Where do I go to download dsl 2.0. I dont know how to tell if i need it for cd or dl. Unless the fact that i have ra2 on a cd is any help. lol.
