Can you talk a little more about what exactly this is? I like to know as much as possible before downloading a zip.

Why such a sudden release by someone who has no name in the community ? This may be a joke or a great thing.

at least the folder's big enough for a game. Heck, I'll download it and report.

Well, this sounds like a heavily modded stock ra2 with a lot of duplicata in components folder. So... yeah ?

although... what is that botlab folder making in the main directory ?

Well I played it, and it contains the combined inventory of AUBB, DSL2, DSL3 Beta, NAR AI and 123AI. It's an ok-ish mod because atleast this guy knows how to add teams to an AI separately but I wouldn't call it RA3 by any stretch of the imagination.

obviously this guy has no idea what he is doing

Hence the "ish" part.

Hello, hello, and thanks for downloading this version of the game to help the build process along.

I do want to take a moment to say that while I can appreciate constructive criticism, comments such as

are not going to be very productive (no disrespect at all).

Right now this Omni pack that we are working on is very much in an alpha build, so getting people to check it out is an important part of the development process.
I must take a moment to say that this is not RA3, I do not claim to be developing RA3, nor will I change this standpoint. Having said this, and having had a download or two so far, I will go ahead and give a breakdown of what Jim's Mod is intended to provide.

Jim's Mod, currently in pre-beta development, is intended to allow players of several of the mod editions for RA to play their builds regardless of version - and to test the effective changes between editions.
The duplicates are version of items where there have been changes made between releases so as to allow players to use any release.

Future changes will include
- Proper edition stamps for all item duplicates
- Weeded out redundancy items
- New textures for many items for purely aesthetic reasons

I have been having a lot of fun helping my client develop this project, and I would like to make sure that all the people who have been involved in the editions included in this version to receive the proper credit. Thanks again.

Oh, now i see what this is! I understand this is in alpha. Despite all the criticism, keep going with this

thurston_studios · « **Reply #9 on:** July 27, 2013, 11:05:25 PM »

Was wondering if any of you guys would happen to know where to get copies of all the dsl version changelogs

playzooki · « **Reply #10 on:** July 28, 2013, 10:42:01 AM »

Click will know.

thurston_studios · « **Reply #11 on:** July 28, 2013, 11:21:20 AM »

thanks I will ask. Need to get the full parts lists for each version so I can label the duplicate items properly.

When this mod was released it was met with a lukewarm response but no mention of copywrites or stealing someone Else's ideas. But when I released an upgraded version as RobotArena2014, I was called a thief. Why was that? It is the same mod with the same pictures and music.

By the sounds of it, only Alex played it (and no offence to him but... Yeah). If more people had downloaded and played I expect the response would be similar.

guess working on a 1000 house bot game was just a wast of time.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 09, 2014, 09:05:55 PM »

what do you even mean by that

JamesAvery · « **Reply #17 on:** April 10, 2014, 09:41:55 AM »

The mod Has 1000 Working house bots and 170 teams...all this was only to showcase DSL3 Beta so every body could use it. jim

house bots

What? Were they themed like old Moby songs or something?
