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...

Just asking, do you guys use hash-codes for security in the component strings? Such as SHA-1 or MD5?

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

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?

Hi. Man, you really need to work on your grammar. Ha Ha.

You know I'm just kidding. 

Hi, I used to be a person who played BOTs made by acclaim when I was ten, but quit due to hacking. I am encouraged with the fact that a new BOTs server has been created. For that, I must thank you for making BOTs, as BOTs was and still is my favorite game, and I would have continued it if it hadn't been the corrupt company ACCLAIM, which has be closed down.

However, although I enjoy the BOTS game, I am hoping that all of you are intelligent, courteous, non-aggresive people. A game is nothing without the community, and authoriative people annoy me.

Let's hope we become good friends.
