I have this problem whereby I can only open certain maps. Other maps, such as the lvl6 map and the lvl 11 map (all the maps except for the first map) cause an error message saying, "Unable to open (insert here)" which is followed by BOTS closing. Anyone else have the same problem? And how can I fix this?
You might be missing some minimap files, try re-installing.
Did you attempt to mod files?...that is why; reports are so frequent.
the files in your folder are corrupted and the game cant use them thus crashes.
what you need to do is:
reinstall, it will give you a fresh copy with all the files but that may take some time
or download the "map" folder, i will upload it asap for you
:3
Lol...I already told him to reinstall.
I am not going to upload the files yet because I am currently working on a FAQ..O.O.
http://www.mediafire.com/?08jocu8d0hmfb2e
put the folder in
BoutCheetah>data
I think its sergent sector. That always gets corrupted. =|
I did not try to modify the files in anyway, and I reinstalled it, but it didn't work.
I did however, tried to play in a private server that I created...
but I gave up. Hm...let me try the maps you linked.
Tried putting the files that I uploaded into a data file. Didn't work.
Sigh...
Can anyone try giving me a registry file to update my base with? That might help. Seems more like a problem with the registry than the files themselves.
You can easily change your registry files. There is no need for us to actually provide you with them.
You seem like you have common sense, so..PM ME with a MSN or something; so I can assist you.
Please use the download link above, and download+install a fresh client, and remember to completely remove the old one first.
If that doesn't work, please install Team Viewer 5, and I will go on your pc and fix it. Add my msn or pm me with id/pass when/if you need to
[email protected]Sorry for the bad grammar. In a hurry =3
It seems that installing the new maps did allow me to access some new maps, but there were still some maps that kicked me out of the game. Hm....
Also, I can't just mess around with the registry. Binary strings are really easy to **** up. And I'm using Windows Vista, an information I'm giving away because any other operation system's registry might **** me up.
I don't wish to give out my ign on MSN, and it wouldn't help anyway. Most of the time, I disable it to free up RAM and to stop annoying people from talking to me when I'm playing a game. I hope I could receive assistance here in this forum. :)
I think now the problem lies with map files and their . extensions. After all, back then when I played BOTS, there were some compatibility issues....
Okay, is your problem resolved now??
Somewhat. But I can't access the lvl 11 map.
Hm...I tried to change my registry but it seemed to just F it all up more. Good thing I had a back up.
If you guys manage to place a link to the lvl11 map, I'd be happy. :)
It seems that the problem is missing files or poorly-made map extensions. I don't know, am I the only one having such problems? Anyone want to download the client themselves and see? I used the mirror 2 client.
Okay, I've decided to place maps that I cannot open here.
So:
Lvl 11.
Lvl 19.
Lvl 44.
More coming soon... as I do get more shit.
I just reinstalled and it worked for me.
Delete your WHOLE bots..including the old one.
Make sure there isn't any copies.
Now, reinstall the client.
If your still having problems. I will upload individual maps.
I do not think its the maps that are bugged, I think he is missing monster files. Please take snap shots of the errors you are having :]
Thanks
Alright. But wouldn't reinstalling the client fix that?
And yes...missing monster files can create an error for maps.
Do me a favor; Test your internet connection speed:

Reply with results.
Hm...
I have already tried deleting all of my files and reinstalling the client- one of the first things I did, but I have not tried diagnosing my TCP/IP. I'll try using the client with another internet connection or another computer when I get home.
Yeah.
Bad Connection can result in all files not be downloaded correctly.
Just asking, do you guys use hash-codes for security in the component strings? Such as SHA-1 or MD5?
Both MD5 AND SHA1, unbreakable security.
>;\
Bleh, I almost never use MD5. It's utterly broken though SHA-1 has some faults.
Anyway, I'm too lazy to solve this problem right now. Tomorrow when I have time...
Thread will stay open in this section until you actually fix it.
May run into so bumps that we can assist you with 8)

Have you ever tried first encrypting the password in MD5, then encrypting the encrypted MD5 with SHA1, using salt.
