a very simple answer would be lag lol.. notice the amount you get in the DSL obstacle coarse ?


I might be wrong but I possible good way around that would be to make it in the Test Arena with the AddExtra lines in the .py

I had a simple idea: just a cylindrical arena like the Drum of Death, but much simpler: with no hazards and a flat ground. Would probably make for less pinning in a corner and immobilizations.

Oh and i will do it myself - i must just get how these over 9000 lines GMF arena files work. Won't be soon anyways...

Maybe make the ground and walls deal more damage as well... i think i can add the material=metal command to the different parts of the arena, now if it is in the .py or .gmf, this is another thing...

It's really not hard, Nar. You don't have to worry about 95% of the lines in a gmf.

Now, if I could get the video gmf tutorial/guide done, it might make it easier also....
Input is appreciated. :)

I was going to make one (and might still for backlash)


just a small square arena with low walls skinned to look like ropes, set the walls to be light and flexible so robots can "bounce" off them


in fact it sounds like fun, unless something interrupts my plan you can almost expect to see one  ;)

Is there a way to add lightspots which follow the Chassis to an Arena like they had in Robot wars?

You could maybe do it the way that Mad made his Matrix arena.  Instead of having platforms appear and disappear under the bots, you would have light spots appear and disappear.  It wouldn't be smooth, but it would work.

how about an antweight arena that looks like a hot wheels track, and cars will come down the track and knock you off?
 
an arena that looks like an anchient collesium, were a lion will come out and maul you're robot?
 
this is kinda dumb, but how about fighting on the wings of an in-flight jet? like a B-52
 
fighting on a GIANT keyboard, were the space key is a floor flipper, and the control key is a launcher that goes strait up
 
fighting on a giant cicut board, were certain Diodes electricate you and you can get caught on circuts
 
please do the 4th one =)

It might be a bit like the "Giant Wing" stage from Sonic-The Fighters...

Good, isn't it?

I used to love Uppercutting opponents out of the Stage! The only regret I really had about it was that Metal Sonic couldn't be played as. Shame really.

It did, didn't it?  = P

Anyway, now onto the question of Arena Ideas.
I suppose a Tabletop Arena set in a Chemical Plant (Iron and Mesh platform suspended above a pit of acid) might not be a bad idea.
The Acid KOs shortly after submersion, so if a robot falls in, they're pretty much done for.

But there is a ramp out of the acid pit? Just to mix things up a bit, like a set time to get out of there almost. Otherwise, there's not much point in the acid KOing 'shortly after' submersion, if you get my drift...
