An arena inside reactor #4 of Chernobyl would be interesting...

A Lego Arena would be cool but it may have too many vertices for it to be playable. If Serge still plans on making a lego component pack, maybe he'll make an arena to go along with it...


Please expound upon the Chernobyl reactor idea. It sounds like it would be different (to say the least) but I can't seem to draw a picture of how it would look in mind. What kind of signs of impending danger are you thinking of (voice over intercom, siren, some sort of gauge, lights, etc.)? Would kind of effect on the robots would there be?

Hmm.

It would look like the inside of an exploded nuclear reactor...?

Thats exactly what I was thinking...

Depending on how "after" you really mean, it may also be enclosed in the Sarcophagus. The wikipedia pics were taken before the Sarcophagus was made.

you need to do way more then that

GMF surgery to have it run in the same format as RA2, Clickbeetle said only 2 arenas could be done at this stage untill Serge completes his compiler which should actually do the conversion for you

I like the Chernobyl idea. Maybe the ground could be slightly uneven? Bits of metal could be everywhere?

Just some thoughts. ;)

Ideas (expounding on G-2's input):
-You could make some 'fallout-debri' that is heavily caustic when contacted.

-You could have mutiple arena.gmfs with varying degrees of arena damage(location, size, depth of hole; amount of debri), randomly chosen in/at _INIT_.

-You could have mutiple arena.gmfs with various debri-type geomobjects that when a bot draws near a radio active sound plays and your bot starts losing life proportional to distance (EMF inverse square law).
Input is appreciated. :)
-Arrogance is a quantity devoid of quality...
-As a client once told me "This is my story, and it's sticking to me!"
-Relationships these days are like the 'Arrival' section of the airport: a lot of baggage is being revealed in one place, and not a lot of it is being correlated to its real owners...

For the Soccer Arena, should there be a special AI coding so the opponent bots actually go for the ball instead of the other bots?

Yep.... but not easy.
 
Trov, thankfully, has done some work toward that end... 
(Haven't been able to help him [or anyone] due to moving... :( )
Input is appreciated. :)

Electric wall-mounted control panels, a blasted-open trench on one side representing a pit, broken metal debris, damaging rainwater puddles from the blown-open roof, stacks of barrels...the list could go on!  :approve:

AHHHHH god I had that idea!

I saw it starts out with a mini relica of the chera generator, half way in it blows to bits :D

and no barrels of radioactive substances would be in a generator house, silly!
and if it's gonna be huge, it's gotta have abandond buildings.

Got another Idea what if there was a reskined soccer arena for the World Cup.
someone actually made a soccer arena a long time ago, it had a little ball that would drop and you got points for each time you scored a goal. good luck finding it though! it was hosted on the old ra-reborn file archive
