Serge you total legend. Seriously man, super great find. I personally really appreciate how much you've given to the community, and to top it off you solve the 7-limit rule.

If I could give you something I would, but I'm broke and in the UK, so you'll have to make so with my sincere thanks.

I've been waiting for this day for 5 years. Serge, have my children.

A lot of us will have to completely rethink out building styles now, simply 'cuz we've got used to building within the Rule of 7.

TEST : As expected, it works in DSL, since DSL really uses the same .exe and the different stuff is really in folders.

It will work in ironforge as well, by the same logic.

I'm now thinking of releasing the full thing on May 26th... when RA3 is due for release. Gives me some time to polish everything off, too.

EDIT: Updated the main post to reflect this.

The full version will be based of SergePatcher, so it should make it easier for people with aggressive antivirii (I guess that's what's blocking you). For now, all I can do is send you a link to a Zipped version, which might help. Sorry!

You could be more descriptive in your reports - only saying “my computer does not allow me at all to run the exe” is not helpful at all.

If windows is giving you a security error, click more info and it will allow you to run it, and it won't bother you again.

If your AV is having a hissy fit just disable it. They're a total waste of time and resources anyway.

It seems like you haven't placed the downloaded .exe in the game folder before running it. It won't run from anywhere else but right next to the Robot Arena 2.exe file.

Got myself a Windows box, porting the mods to SergePatcher. It's not set in stone, but I'd like to have the main configuration format be as shown, so people can en/disable mods on demand.

If I do some extra work I might be able to add toggles for the _in_ the game UI... Maybe. I'd need to extend SergePatcher too (and I've lost the source code for it!).

To give myself some time to flesh things out, and for the hell of it. Mostly the latter.
