General Support / noob question: smart zones?!?

« on: October 03, 2010, 06:01:41 AM »

Hey

I'm a little confused about flipper weapons. So far the only burst motors i have been able to use with any success as a flipper were the large JX motor and the beta motor. but the JX doesn't really get opponents off the ground and the beta seems to create havoc explosions when used as a srimech.

However i noticed that a lot of the AI/prebuilt bots have smart zones - is this anything to do with it?

i tried using smart zones and it didn't make a whole load of difference - can anyone explain to me what smart zones actually do and how to use them? i can't seem to find an explanation anywhere.

General Support / Problem installing no CD patch

« on: September 14, 2010, 05:07:01 AM »

Hi

I suspect this is more of a windows 7 related issue but here's my problem:

I downloaded and unzipped the no CD 1.0 patch into the robot arena folder as directed in the tutorials, and i can run the program that creates the patch, but every time i click to apply the patch it gives me a "cannot open file: access denied" windows message. 

I'm using windows 7 home premium and the administrator user account but i think it might be something to do with the RA2 folder being located in the "program files" folder which seems to not allow anything to be changed once its installed.

Other problems i'm having with the stock RA2 are the options not saving (once again, perhaps this is something to do with the file location?), and the menu icons being scrambled.
