Hey, guys - I saw this a while back on a forum somewhere, and thought this would be pretty cool, in addition to the "Honey I Shrunk The Bots" arena. The Chessboard Arena!  The drawers on either end could be open as pits, obviously it's a tabletop arena, and perhaps the chess pieces could be knocked over/pushed asdie/etc. Just a thought, but I'd like to see it done.

Try reloading the game, guys - try doing it the way I did. Btw, if you've built any robots already, move the Robot Designs folder BEFORE you do the reinstall, otherwie you'll lose them.

I have the dark Ball already, and it's fun bashing your opponents with it! I think the connection point needs to moved a little closer, though - looks kinda funny hanging out there in space about three feet in front of my bot .......
Putting in the dark ball as an obstacle, however, might be fun. Oh, wait, we already have that in the cave Arena ...

".RAR" files are basically ZIP files under a diferent name. Open it using your WinRAR program, and make sure it's to a different folder than your main Robot Arena 2 directory!
Then, just drag and drop the new files to your main RA2 directory, and answer "Yes to All" when you're asked to confirm over-writing everything

Okay guys, if you find any glitches or errors, I'm sure the Beetle bros. would like to know about them. I've had the game for a day or two now, and have caught two errors/glitches so far myself ...
Error/Glitch # 1: El Diablo will not load onto the game - instead, he crashes the game. (El Diablo, btw, is Bot5.bot on Team Black Storm, Team4 in the AI folder. Not like I was looking or anything ...) I've tried an exhibition match, pulling the robot out of the AI folder and putting it Robot Designs, and even tried using the El Diablo from DSL v1.2 - all crash the game. So far, this is the ONLY robot to do so ...
EDIT: Reinstalled the entire game, layered it as follows: RA2 1.0, RA2v1.2 patch, DSLv1.0, DSLv1.2 patch, DSLv2.0. Works fine now ...
Error/Glitch # 2: Rookies Team Sting Ray 2 vs. Red Zone Team Red Alert in the Cave Arena Exhibition match. Long story short: After a quick batttle, Red Alert pushes me off the cliff into the death pit, and follows me in. Who wins? (Trick question!)
Answer: I do, because the death pit in the Cave Arena is no longer an "instant death"! Even though your robot is apparently "impaled" by the spikes, you can still drive it around! And I DO have picture to prove this, if needed .....
EDIT: I copied the cave arena over from my DSLv1.2 install, and it works fine. Now it's back to an "instant death" pit.
EDIT: Error/Glitch # 3: Elevator on Space Station was not working. It would rise slightly, then drop with a crunch, and would continue doing so for the length of the game, stranding me on the bottom floor. Copied arena from DSLv1.2 install to replace it, and it works fine.

Okay .... now my turn to apologize.
All I was seeing was "Why doesn't Goose get off his ass and post the new version of the game here?", and that just pushed my piss-off buttons. It's like, no one cared about anything else, they wanted the game no matter what. I did, too - a LOT - but i also wasn't about to insult the guys who built the thing in the first place.
anyway, this is all moot now, since the new version has hit the 'Net!

THAT is seriously cool.

Odd ...... mine worked just fine when i clicked on the nightmare disc. I don't know what the difference would be, unless somehow i managed to get a different version of the file. I had the disc way back on the original RA2, too, and I don't think i copied it straight over - i think i used the one that came with DSL TC.

Weedy: no prob, amigo.
Mean2u: yeah, remembered that after I'd posted, but you guys got the point, anyway.

I meant that as in, "I cannot get to the bot menu, you're lucky it works for you". Mine crashes when I try to make a new team, though I think that may have something to do with the fact that I used the exe for the downloaded version when I technically had the CD version. I was not trying to enter a flamewar; I was mostly complimenting you on your installing skills. Okay, that I can accept. I hope you'll accept my apology, I took your post the wrong way. How did you try installing the game? Did you install it directly to your RA2 folder, or did you make a separate folder and drag the stuff over, replacing everything that way? the second way is the one to use, btw ...

Point.
Weedy's taking "pure stock" to the extreme of "Can this be built in real life?" Answer: no. Ain't no way in real life to overlap motors or put one inside another.
On the other hand, because it IS a game, there is ALWAYS going to be some "cheating" involved with the parts. Consider a simple flipper. You can build a box and put a motor in it, and use an extender that goes through the sidewall of the chassis to the flipper - in real life, you'd have to cut a slot or some kind of hole for the extender to go through. A spinner would need to have a slot cut all the way around the edge, or at the very least have a hole on top for the motor shaft to poke through. Technically, there's already a fair bit of "legal cheating" going on since all of these things are generally accepted as part of the game.
Bottom line is: Pure stock? No. Game stock? Yes.

Thanks for your input, guys - I really appreciate it.

Bah, you're lucky you can even get to the bot creation menu. *stares at you for a moment* And I could say that you're lucky to find the "power" button on your computer, good sir, but I don't feel like getting in a flame war right now, thanks. These were things I happened to notice in the course of the game, and wanted to bring them to someone's attention - perhaps they are things no one else realized. Obviously you have already discovered these things, so my post should not concern you, but the others who do not know about them.

Blender? Never heard of that one before... do you have a website for it, or should I just google it?

Odd ..... i have all those packs, yet the game still crashes whenever I try to load Snow Burst. I'll go through everything again and make sure I'm not missing anything.

Why doesn't the flipper maker attach to the JX Burst motor? Several other parts that don't directly attach are: the Emergency flipper the angle connector the multi-angle connector the spiked club the icepick the spike strip Matilda's weapon Slap Happy's blade the Diablo Triple Bar the Panic Attack flipper and top piece the Complete Control arm and weapon the forklift arm Oddly though, discs and rotater bars DO attach directly to the burst motors :  As you can plainly see, those are the Beta Burst, the JX, and the BSG-200s, all with some sort of spinner attachment on them. The pistons are the Storm burst piston and the VDMA servo and burst pistons, and those are DSL tribars on them. P.S. No, that's not a "cheat" disc - someone just rebuilt it with a better skin ...

I have Snow Burst 1, but sadly I can't use it _ I have none of the AU AI parts that were used. And since AceUplink has gone down, doesn't look like I'll be getting them anytime soon, either ....
Will your new version of Snow Burst be available for d/l?
