Title: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!
Post by: SpyGuy on October 10, 2006, 08:43:41 PM
Okay, I have a few more ideas for arenas I'd like to see:

On top of a city building (like the tourney arena, city background, and an open elevator shaft hazard pit)

Amusement park - battles in the Fun House, the Bumper cars, on the merry-go-round, etc.

Construction (destruction?) site - make it like the mars arena, but have like a half-completed building, with loose girders that can be pushed, a crane, etc.

Parking garage - we already know that bi-level arenas can be made (Space Station arena and the Obstacle Course arena), so why not do a bi-level parking garage, with ramps leading to the upper/lower levels?  Maybe a couple of cars parked here and there for flipping if you're bored ...

Airport - batttle in the main hanger (the empty arena from the Hammer of Justice/Spammolama would be a good start ..), maybe have a plane inside the hanger, some tools off to one side, refueling truck, etc.  Also maybe a battle out on the tarmac in front of the control tower.

Dockyard - Kinda like the ocean platform, whree robots could push each other off into the water and short them out.

Fireworks factory - make "exploding" stuff (like the computer in the garage), so that things break when you or your opponent run into them.  How fun would it be to topple a pile of boxes on your opponents?

Haunted house - instead of spikes reaching up from the floor, how about SPOOKS?  Spikes could be made into hands that could "grab" your robot, and loose boards that were actually spring-loaded flippers.

Street intersection - built with dual levels, so that bots could drive up onto the "sidewalk" to battle - watch out for the passing cars! (Like the rock in the cave arena).  Oh, and the sewer drain could be a death pit ....

Auto junkyard?  (I already posted this idea a while back, but it fit in with the rest of the ideas...)  Wrecked cars for the "walls", loose parts here and there, perhaps a welding rig like the one in the DSL garage.

Gas station garage floor - Hmm, hydraulic car lifts, toolboxes, welding rig, loose parts, Coke/Pepsi/candy vending machines (like the cabinets) ... Maybe a towtruck could be parked outside, and since we're "outside", what about flamethrowers on the gas nozzles?

Trucking depot receiving floor - I don't know if this would work or not, but perhaps several of the receiving doors could be open, allowing bots to drive right up inside the truck trailers, or off the edge of the loading platforms (death pits).

you know what'd be fun? a packman level, with Pac man and the ghosts running around, packman randomly moves to diff places and kills anybody to close instantly... and the ghosts will do severe damage!!

and than a arena called "booster to heaven" it is a table top with a circular shape, and on the bottom is a little heck with fire and robots are elimitated on contact to heck. some flames around the edge of the arena would be nice also :D . and the most dangerous hazard a piston-like flipper in the middle that fires robots verticaly in the air to two gigantic spinning drums crushing together and robots are ground to bits on contact.

and then the last thing i can think of is the "chamber of death" the match can go on with only one hazard, all walls are spiked and are closing in, and in 2 minuites your robots will be squashed between the razor-sharp spines pertruding from the wall. Touching any of the spikes will cause severe damage. SO FINISH UR MATCH QUICKLY!
(kinda like those spike traps u see alot in movies and video games)

I like more relistic arenas myself.  A multi level arena could be made into a cool concept but wouldnt be easy due to camera issuses.  I could design some relistic arenas if you guys wanted them.  I do 3D models but I have wings 3d and I dont think that it will work with RA.  Its a free program made by random people that are modeler for movies and games so it might.

im pretty sure RA2 only supports 3D's max

but that costs like 800 monies, so im stick'in to ol'e RA2 coordinate modeling.

Actually, yes.  I had no idea that there was another game that had this as an arena already - it was just something I came up with during a Hot Wheels Crash episode, where one of the stunts is to jump your car across the tops of two buildings.  I thought, how cool would it be to have an arena on top of one of these buildings, open elevator shaft, maybe an open stairwell, driving around the A/C unit and watertank legs, trying to push each other off the building or into the shaft.......?

Cheese arena:

Battle on some giant cheese! The holes in the cheese are slippery and make you slip out onto the "plate of doom" which shreds you, and you are stuck in the "food dome of entrapity".

Donut arena:

Battle on a donut! The donut is chocolate glazed, so you get high traction, and after 3 minutes, a giand head comps on the donut, but the donut does not get bitten off.

House of Horror:

Tons of evil spike balles flying everywhere!

Landslide:

Giant rocks rolling everywhere!

Post by: deadkenndys1105 on November 06, 2006, 08:02:41 PM
I got an idea for a tabletop arena.  Its a table top thats basicly the flex top arena but a little larger that spins at a slow speed but it would still affect the driving.  Flippers would be great on a arena like that.

Post by: Mega_Volt on November 08, 2006, 03:44:00 PM
Like the spinner arena:

Divided into 6 spinning segments, each a smaller circle then the last on, the outer on is spinning quickly cc, while the next quickly c, and so on. Also there is a spinning bar in the center. The spinning makes it hard to reach the opponent(s). Also anyone maybe clicky or firey gonna make these arenas?

What about an arena that takes complete control of the physics, making the gravity randomly fluxulate (or even reverse), change the resistance of the enviroment, change the way everything appears, or if you want really easy, just make the lights turn off every once and a while.  :D

Post by: BananaMan2007 on August 31, 2007, 11:48:02 AM
I've got an Idea! How about an arena set on the front deck of a cruise ship? The pool could act as a deathpit, and you can push opponents through gaps in the starboard and port sides. Maybe you could even do an effect where you can push opponents through a window!

An Indiana Jones-style tomb might also be good. There could be a section where your robots are chased by a big rolling rock at the beginning (If any robot is hit, they're done for), an then moving into the treasure room with a sphinx that fires lasers from its Eyes! (If sais robot is hit by laser, it caused nasty damage)

Thank you for Reading!

Hmm, a war based arena with guns, you push a button on the side and it shoots 10 rounds at a time, and (mabey) a rocket luancher(or grenade luancher) that fires 1 round every 30 seconds(or more).

Post by: GoldenFox93 on October 30, 2009, 06:30:15 PM
1 YEAR BUMP! Sorry, everyone...

Anyway, here is my idea for an arena. I call it...

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/12152Arena.bmp)
:gunz:  GF93's Killing Zone!  :gunz:

Anyway, those numbers on it represent the Hazards. Here's a Runthrough of each one...

1) The Pits of Despair
Do exactly what they say on the tin. They eliminate any robot unlucky enough to fall, drive, or get pushed into them. However, they remain closed at the start of the battle, covered up by flat, heavy lids, so they don't interfere with gameplay, like the closed pits in the Octagon do. The lids slide away after 1:30 has passed, and can play a key role for a Flipper or a Rammer to win against a Spinner or an Axe robot.

2) The Spikes of Agony
Another old favourite! However, the spikes here come in a set of eight, and fire upwards much more powerfully, making them more capable of causing damage to a contender's underside, and are also better at flipping some robots over.

3) Blades of Annihilation
These Razor-sharp circular saw blades pop up from below the floor. Unlike the Saw Hazards in the Combat Zone, they appear in a group of four, and are more capable of slicing up robots (Using simular blades from in the Bot Lab: Maybe Chewblades?), and/or lifting them off the ground, making them useful for lifting up Robots with a low Ground Clearance, or tearing off loose attachments. Surprise!

4) Corner Posts
"Corner Posts?!", You might be thinking. "What good could THEY possibly do in battles?"
Well, besides holding the arena together, the posts are heavy, and can do slight damage, much like the bumpers in the Antweight Arena do.

5)  Out of the Arena
This Olympic-Sized pit surrounds the arena, and instantly eliminates any robot unlucky enough to end up outside the arena boundaries, marked by thick, transparent walls. They're high enough to keep robots in, but low enough to be flipped over with a good flipper. This means that it takes more skill to win by OOTA, and thereby battles between a flipper and a robot with high ground clearance don't end immediately, due to the unlucky latter robot finding itself out. Oh, and just in case you're wondering why it's a Hexagonal shape, it's to make it harder for Flippers to OOTA from the Corners, and because I liked the shape. Surely those are good enough reasons, eh? :biggrin:

I also included a little picture of "Spinner from the West" to show the scale of the Arena, and also to give a basic idea of the starting areas (Each robot starts in a corner).
I didn't incorporate much detail (Such as drawing on the Arena floor), as I wanted to show my basic ideas, and if people liked it, maybe draw a plan for details.

And that's about it! :smile:

Maybe get rid of 1 or 2 hazards if possible just so there's enough room to fight too (and not too much lag).

OK, I guess I could think about that.

Admittedly though, I do really like the layout so far, but I guess I could scale some of the "Out-of-the-floor" hazards down, though. I mean, those hazard panels dwarf SFTW in that pic! :biggrin:

Oh, and as for a theme and paintjob, I was thinking something along the lines of a metallic and dark blue colour scheme, like in the Starcore Combat Arena- I mean, those stripes along the edges of the arena are crying out to be painted an electric blue! :smile:

Well actually, Naryar, the pits don't open until 1:30 into the match, allowing a reasonable amount of time for a good battle, with the pits opening up as part of an exciting climax to the battle. They can also be turned off with the "Hazards off" button before you enter the match, so they're not there if you don't want them in the fight. Besides, they're mainly there because of three factors...

1) Pits are some of my favourite hazards.
2) To give Weaker Flippers, Popups and Rammers a chance against Spinners and Hammers.
3) I find they're only cheap if they're used to beat a good robot immediately, with a cheap Grabber/Pusher robot (EG. Tough As Nails, from Robot Wars)

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/81723I love pits.bmp)
But it's all a matter of opinion, I guess. I mean, this is only a small example of the debate over pits. Whilst I like Pits, you do not.
Either way, I want to keep them, but I'll be willing to think about other lag-reducing, fight-satisfaction-increasing ways to increase my arena ideas.

And also folks, here's Version Number Two...

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14224Arena2.bmp)
:gunz: GF93'S KILLING ZONE V2.0 :gunz:

GAME DESCRIPTION
This Square Arena is GoldenFox93's home turf for Metal-Shredding Robot Smashup. It is Perfectly Engineered for maximum safety and excellent views on the outside, and pure robotic torture on the inside.
The Fighting Area itself is Littered with Dangerous Traps and Hazards such as Low Arena Walls, Pnuematic Spikes, Grinding Wheels and Deathpits. As you could expect from a location like this, the competition here is as unpredictable and exciting as they come.

SINGLE-PLAYER TOURNAMENT DESCRIPTION
GOLDENFOX93'S ROBOT RUMBLE-LIVE ON BBC2
TYPE:4-way Rumble
This Annual British tournament is very popular with both new and experienced robot builders in the UK. It is regarded as a model event there, with a loyal and dedicated fanbase, and several of the top robot teams in the world competing for supremacy in GF93's own arena. In recent years, it started airing on National Television.

WHAT I DID

OK, here's what I did. In response to the comments, IT'S BIGGER.

The hazards, as you know, dwarfed SFTW in the first picture, but now I've decreased the size of the hazards, and increased the size of the fighting area. As a result, fights are much more spaced out, allowing for the Bigger robots (EG. Wrecktangle) to grab a piece of the action.

I also added a few little cosmetic changes. I still haven't decided on a skin (And neither am I skilled enough to get off my arse and make one for that matter! :smile:), but I added Access Ramps on the outside, which also serve to cover up the Pit lids when they slide away, and also work as  part of the "OOTA" boundary. I also included doors where they are too, for a little added realism.
Hazards are still the same as ever, but have been shrunk to increase realism and fighting area. For a more detailed description of them, please look at the post detailing the previous version of the arena.

Finally, In address to complaints from people like Naryar and Pwnator about Pits, I might also increase the time the pits open from 1:30 to 2:00, therefore they cannot be used in matches under two minutes. However, Should I keep this rule, or should I not?
Ask me below.

Post by: Pwnator on October 31, 2009, 10:56:07 PM
Smaller pits - I still don't like pits, but they get a thumbs up from me since they activate only at the last 30 seconds (I hope matches don't last that long XD). :D

One problem I see is, if a bot gets punted OOTA when the match is at 2:30, and if that bot gets to the access ramps, and lands into the pit. XD

One problem I see is, if a bot gets punted OOTA when the match is at 2:00, and if that bot gets to the access ramps, and lands into the pit. XD


Thank you, Pwnator! It's always happy to see a satisfied customer.

Also, the problem you talked about-
"if a bot gets punted OOTA when the match is at 2:00, and if that bot gets to the access ramps, and lands into the pit"

Well actually, the Pit lids slide back into the access ramp's box-like sections, so they are completely hidden, as well as making the arena look a little more realistic. Also, if a robot is OOTAed and falls onto the ramps, it still counts as being OOTAed, as the ramps are outside the arena boundaries, just like the pit surrounding the arena. It works a little bit like in these conflicting crap Paint diagrams:

Post by: GoldenFox93 on November 07, 2009, 05:37:34 PM
Also, I just finished another arena. Here it is...

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/3112Nother Arena.jpg)
:gunz:PISTON FACTORY ARENA:gunz:

OK, so this one clearly isn't as good as my second one, but I still think it's quite good, with a fairly unique hazard playing a prominent role in the battles.

ARENA DESCRIPTION
This abandoned Factory acts as the setting to several Illegal robot tournaments. Watch out for the Pistons-those are capable of putting the Hammer down on your robot-permanently. Also, end up in one of the Storage Hopper Deathpits, and it's all's well that ends well...

HAZARDS
1) Hammer Pistons: These powerful ramming pistons are used to pop any unlucky robot into the air. If a robot sits on them for about a second, they fire upwards, hurling even the heaviest robots into the air, and with the addition of a damaging ceiling, they can bring the hammer down on your robot...permanently!
2) Drop Zone: Sorry, Naryar. These titanic pits could swallow several robots, and still have room for dessert. They open by themselves after 2:30, or when the big yellow button is pressed.
3) Pit Release Button: This large yellow button releases the pit doors when pressed by any robot in the field.
4) Out of the Arena Boundary: This, as usual, marks the outer area. Getting flipped out kills you instantly.

Post by: ashman12 on November 07, 2009, 05:55:39 PM

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...

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.

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

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...

Ah, all right then. I just had another Idea.

You see, I was playing "Sonic the Hedgehog" on my old Mega Drive not so long ago, and suddenly, a thought came to me-
"A Green Hill Zone Arena!"
So after that, I thought for a little while as to what it could include-(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/3661GHZ.jpg)
And that's about it! This is only the first version of it though, so I guess improvements to the design can be made. Oh, and just for Naryar, there aren't any pits within the arena! XD

this will sound goofy, but how about an arena that looks like a giant air matress, that when you move it can bounce you and/or you're apponenets and spinners, popups and others can pop the arena and deflate it?

Nitro - Another Small arena, You can get burned if you will get OOTA from the corners.

Black Hole - This is little larger, It has 4 Pits where is flames. And next to is Combat arena

Steel Dome - This arena has saws which can drop you to water & Pit in the middle of the arena
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44173SCR4.PNG)
Jungle Arena - My latest arena. It has 4 Flamegrills and when 1 minute has been, The middle walls will drop and you can fall to the pit, OM NOM NOM NOM!

My favourite is maybe Jungle arena but the part 2 will come on next weekend.  :mrgreen:

Those are some good arenas there, Jonzu. I particularly like the "Black Hole" stage.

Yep, I know that game. I always liked playing as Underdog Lister.

Post by: GoldenFox93 on January 20, 2010, 04:33:40 PM
Also, taking a leaf out of Jonzu's book, I thought I'd make a RCT2 arena of my own-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/21923GF93Killzone3D1.jpg)
And here's a closer shot-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/75044GF93Killzone3D2.jpg)
Robots start from the corners, and the grey squares represent hazards, like modified killsaws or ramrods (EDIT: Maybe I should've made them smaller, though).
The pit in the centre is covered at the start of the fight, but through a pit-opening mechanism I may incorporate, it'll open. It also opens on its own at 2:00 into the fight.
The arena walls are high enough to keep robots in, but still low enough for a good flipper to OOTA a robot from.

So whaddya think?  =  P

Nah screw that, I use the shelby cobra or the hot rod. Both fully modified :)
 
As for the arena, not bad,kinda reminds me of the combat arena, but without a roof.

Thanks, Doomkiller. It's always nice to recieve encouragement from the more experienced members of the forum!  :mrgreen:
 
And to be honest, I actually more based it off the Battlebox, with the massive Polycarbontate Box (With the roof removed so you can see into it) surrounding the arena, the Rectangular hazard boxes, and the black colour scheme.

The use of the TNT crates in the Bomb Factory remind me of the Crash Bandicoot games. Though if you wanted to cause decimation on contact with the crates, I guess you could turn them into "NITRO" crates!  ^_^

The Robot Wars Series 3 Arena. Would be cool to have it since it is different to the arena from series 4 onwards.

This brown thing on the left should be a flamejet. I think there was one (watched Pitbull vs. Sumpthing)
Those thing on the left and right of the arena flipper (hope you know what of those the flipper is) are those floorlights from series 3.

I think the rest is clear.
Title: Re: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!
Post by: russian roulette on April 11, 2010, 12:59:20 PM
My Idea, Inertia Arena. Bots play on a giant spinning bar, they stay on however because the surface is grippy. If a robot falls or gets flipped then there is a chance to see it get knocked by the arena itself.

Yes, they were flame jets. They also featured in the 1st World Championship, in the fight between Behemoth and Diotoir in the Semis.
But seriously, that'd be a fantastic arena! I mean, with lower walls, a slightly shallower pit (So robots can be seen protruding out of the top when they fall in), and hopefully, the chance to reenact the fight between Cassius II vs. Dundee!   :approve:

- Cassius II (Of course)
- Mortis
- Beast of Bodmin
- Panic Attack II
- X-Terminator
- Steg-O-Saw-Us
- Napalm
- Chaos 2
- The Big Cheese

Could possibly make an AI pack for Series 3, then expand to make ones for maybe S1, then S2. The later series get a little different imo and it'd be better to keep everything within the realms of the simple bots of the first few series.

And GF93, you missed Hypnodisc. It mades its debut in Series 3 and make it to the final, you can't leave it out ;D

I would try and help such a cause should it take off.

What we need if we're actually going to do this is
-Reps (obviously)
-The arena
-Possible new UI?
-Someone/people to AI

And will it be based on DSL or Stock?
Title: Re: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!
Post by: G.K. on April 12, 2010, 02:28:50 PM
DSL would be easier IMO. Balancing custom components would make it different from DSL. But aye, we should do it.

N.B. Should we steal the Chaos 2 rep from DSL?
Title: Re: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!

I guess we could. However, we'll need to make it faster and give it a stronger burst motor so it can actually flip stuff, in my opinion.
Title: Re: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!
Post by: cephalopod on April 12, 2010, 02:42:50 PM

Title: Re: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!

Click gave it the wrong one in 2.1

I know the simple BFE edit to make it powerful.
Title: Re: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!
Post by: JoeBlo on April 12, 2010, 08:19:04 PM
yeah its a very simple BFE job to fix up that burst

Define 'open'

enough additional objects and rigidbody parts for me to remove, edit and recycle for other aspects of the arena, not all self contained like some other arenas.

I know a few objects are different, but the more its broken up the the more likely I will be to transform it into the series 3 arena

So this might not be just an AI pack, more a mod? (If we're changing components and the like)

erm... I guess.. Mod you be entire rebalanced parts.. unless your doing that we are only adding in some custom stuff that is unbalanced intentionally to give them a better chance.

copy the original text file Chaos 2 uses....

rename it something new like chaos2burst.txt

open it up and change the power values of the text

open up chaos 2 in Notepad++

change the original burst's filename to chaos2burst.txt

since its the same GMF model and wil look the same is wont effect anything

Yes, but it might mess up attachment points if you change motors.

Or just create a new txt file and make another version of the motor that has higher torque.

nothing was ever said about the obstacle coarse ?

the robot wars arena is very complex in object amount.. the pinball set up would need easily 100 or more pieces and a lot of work replicate the interaction 

all that work could und up with a laggy end product.. making it somewhat of a waste of time dont you think ?

That was a good skin.

I had an idea about the old Gauntlet round from Robot Wars UK, where you had to get to the bottom of the course avoiding various obstacles, but I imagine it'd be really hard to actually do. I thought of making it a 1v1 Race, but then you'd have to make them not try and head for each other. Then I thought about, when one robot reaches the "end zone", the  rest of the arena becomes OOTA territory, and the other bot is eliminated, but I'm not sure how that could be done either.

I need to research arena modding. XD

If you want to increase the chances of your arena being made, supply pictures/drawings of what it looks like in your mind. I'm in the middle of one idea from this thread (for the most part it is made except I'm in the process of adding some extra little features).

I've never seen a good enough picture of the Gauntlet arena to even consider it (a drawing would suffice).

A 1v1 race wouldn't be too difficult to accomplish but I think Click will have a straight race track for the new Drag Race Arena. What kind a race track are you thinking of (MarioKart-style or NASCAR or other)?

Keep in mind that I can't do everybody's ideas but I love to read about them. I usually try to balance the difficulty in making the arena with the enjoyment out of the end result.

Post by: yoda9726 on June 17, 2010, 10:09:52 AM
Honestly don't know how well this would work, but thought up an arena for team matches, here's an extremely simplified pic of the idea...
 
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b118/starcrosst/arenaidea.png)
 
the green squares are the starting position for 1 team, the red for the other team.  The dark blue is a wall.  After a minute or so, the wall drops, allowing the previously isolated bots to enter the fight.
 
Or, alternately if it can be done, when one of the 'main bots' is destroyed, the wall isolating it's teammate drops.  the teammate of the surviving main bot doesn't get to enter until it's teammate is destroyed. 
 
I don't know, was just playing around with ideas of making different versions of team battles, that's all.

Title: Re: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!
Post by: JoeBlo on June 17, 2010, 11:02:50 AM
I think it could be done but thats for Madiaba and Trov to give you that answer...
Title: Re: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!
Post by: Madiaba on June 17, 2010, 11:27:18 AM
It's a good idea, Yoda. And it can be done, NP.
Trov, I and Spyguy thought up an arena where you face off against 3 opponents, 1 at a time.  You must defeat the first to have access to the 2nd, and so on.  You have the regular 3 mins to get past all 3 and win the match, else  :dead: .  Ths is not as easy as it might sound.  Usually the other bots inflict damage upon each other, which helps your bot defeat them.  But here YOU are the ONLY source of damage your opponents will encounter.  So while you are partly damaged from your 1st opponent, a new undamaged opponent is lurking for its chance at you.  Then repeat this one more time. :ouch:   The odds are roughly 3/1 against you.  Nice challenge.
 
The partitions can be:
1. addextra (inserted gmf walls)
2. arena geomobjects that are lowered to release next opponent
3. arena geomobjects that are phantomized so the next challenger can step up to face you.
 
 
This is not a difficult arena to make at all.
As Joe mentioned there's one almost completed for Ian.
 
(Note: It pays to talk loudly and carry a big............ Visa card.)
Else get ACAMS to double our Mod's pay: Let's see... $0 x 2 = ?......, NVM.

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?

Post by: Madiaba on July 02, 2010, 10:35:21 AM
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).

I think that we could have an intact Chernobyl, but the bots are fighting in the reactor core, with a bunch of glowing green pillars they have to avoid. And the longer the match goes on, the damage caused to their bots (by radiation) increases exponentially.

Walking?  That'd be tough. 
But maybe a standing bot on wheels:

Or, a coool 4 wheeler:

Or,...Maybe a (giant?) eight-legged spiderbot (hehe).  But really...8 restraint_solvers each turning an eccentric geomobject 'leg', enabling it to craw around.  Add damage and a cool wav sound to the legs via the py. (No pic)

It would be cool if there`someone who could help me with this:

I need a MW arena. It should be a bit bigger than the Combat Zonem, with low walls to flipp bots oota and a bit with a timer like in the Octagon (and maybe some hazards) Could look like this one (without the skinn)

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33785MWArena.jpg)

The black/white squares are the startpoints. The half round things on the side are saws like in the RW arena and the thing that looks like a pit is a pit.

I asked Mad but he hasn`t much time so I thought I may ask someone else here.

Most of us modders are recycling objects from other arenas because, unless we have 3DS Max, it isn't easy making the normals by hand. With that being said, I think the BBEANS2 Arena has an object that could be used for the floor (the bladewall object).

I've got time if you're interested in learning how to make the arena yourself (which believe it or not wouldn't be that difficult to do).

Title: Re: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!
Post by: Trovaner on August 12, 2012, 05:55:12 PM
We need more KOTH and tabletop maps.
I completely agree. Although, I've actually used the KOTH mode for quite a few of my arenas because it is the only mode that doesn't give points for damage (ideal for racing, soccer, jousting, and other special game styles). The points in the KOTH arena come from just a few lines of python code so it gives us the potential to create our own rules on an arena-by-arena basis.

There are also several arenas that are Tabletops but weren't labeled as such. The Fight to the Finish Arena, Ocean Platform, and Ant Latenight Rumble could all be considered tabletops.

RA2 has no hard-coded distinction between Battle Royale, Tabletops, and Obstacle Course modes. As such, the modes have become highly blurred (for example, OOTA's still occur in arenas that aren't tabletops). In my version of RA2, I've been trying to differentiate them more but that makes my version incompatible with other people's mods. Team and Deathmatch are pretty much limited to their namesakes but KOTH is useful for many specialized purposes. I'm also treating Battle Royale as enclosed arenas, Tabletop as open arenas, and Obstacle Course as 1vs3. There is still quite a bit of overlap but I find it to be distributed more evenly and it adds a few features that weren't previously available.

IIRC, Click was going to turn the Obstacle Course mode into a racing mode for DSL3. Doing this would preserve reverse compatibility but would make any future transition more difficult.

We need more KOTH and tabletop maps.
I just came up with a KOTH map idea, it'd be sort of like the Flextop sumo map, but instead the circle part doesn't... you know... bounce back and forth like a bull on cocaine, and instead spins around a middle section; the capture point. The spinning wouldn't be super duper speed-of-5-stacked-Dual-Perms fast, but it would be enough to make getting on the hill a little tricky. The hill would also be higher than the rest of the map and a little sloped on all sides, keeping the middle mostly flat, like all of the other KOTH maps.

The spinning would be the hazard, and when you turn the hazards off, it's just a basic radial KOTH map.
Title: Re: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!
Post by: RpJk on October 20, 2012, 02:01:41 PM
I would like a tabletop arena that is like the fight to the finish in which it is square shaped but two sides are guarded for half the match and then they are lowered.

Another hazard would be two conveyor belts running opposite from each other.
Title: Re: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!
Post by: Tommyspud on December 20, 2012, 12:41:48 AM
Some Table Top Arena ideas:

Is it possible to do like a waving scaffold on the arena, because I'm thinking a square wood plank always in motion could be interesting.

Something like The Aggrocrag from Guts, except with probably less cliff faces. I don't know, this seems lengthy, but it could also be a decent KOTH map with more ramps.

Speaking of old Nick Game Shows, you remember the Steps of Knowledge from Legends of the Hidden Temple? That could be an interesting map, though since it's just sharp drops... that may not be good. You could add on curved passages to go up/down though. I'd add some sort of rails though on that.

KOTH Map Ideas:
Is it possible to put saws around a capture spot? Because I'd have a small area, where any bot can fit, but still small enough where getting there is tricky without taking some damage. Add in a bottom slopes, to make it more of... like Pyramid arena, but the top small part removed, and just more of a slope.
Title: Re: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!
Post by: AlexGRFan97 on January 07, 2013, 01:12:12 PM
It may be hard, but an arena that rewards strategy over hitpoints (aka billyun razrs) would be a good idea. I know hazards that take away hitpoints have been done before, but we could go a couple steps further. For example, there could be a point deduction for every time the game thinks your robot is immobile. Similar the drop zone in the RW arena or the spikes on the Combat Zone, if you stay in a certain spot for too long, an invisible object "hits" you and removes points, so to speak. For every second after it has begun, a larger amount of points disappear from your score. For the competitors themselves, there would be a smartzone on the top of the robot for every time it gets flipped, that removes points. Invertible robots would have a smaller deduction. If this idea is done correctly, robots might be more imaginative. It would also give bot builders a more realistic fighting style rather than having to pin your opponent against the wall every time it's flipped (aka Grog).
Title: Re: Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!
Post by: Trovaner on January 07, 2013, 03:29:51 PM
Most of what you are explaining is easy to do but I don't see it changing much in terms of building or strategy. The stock AI has issues with invertibility and pinning but you don't see it as much in other AI packs. It also gives an advantage to rammers, HS, and popups which are already some of the strongest bot types.

That said, if you would like to learn how to do it yourself, feel free to PM me about it. It is actually much easier than you are making it out to be. It's all PY stuff so there is no need for any smartzones or pneumatics.

Does anyone else here know how to mod arena's? I'm looking for someone to mod the Robo Zone arena for a new type of tag team match, here are the details:

*1 bot from each team starts the match.
*1 bot from each team starts in a cage.
*every 30 seconds the current robots go to their team mates cage to make a tag.
*when a robot is taken down to below 80% or so health it goes to make a tag.
*During a tag the 2 robots from each team replace each other (active robot moves into cage and caged robot moves out of the cage), The robot who made the tag heals over time in the cage.

I think this mod could replace the current multi-bot mode (I'm still not sure exactly what that does) and be a nice prize for my upcoming tournament.

One idea I have (if someone hasn't suggested it already) would be a fight in a sawmill.  It would probably have the building itself as the arena with a wooden floor, perhaps with some timber and equipment lying about.  As for hazards it would probably have a crane that would drop a whole load of logs if you stayed under it too long, have pulverizers in each corner (except replacing the hammers with ax heads), and what is a sawmill without a huge ass buzzsaw?

Hello and good evening to you.

How about an arena where the bots fight in a giant spinning bowl with a flat bottom and a hole in the center that floats in mid-air. There would also be small beater bars attached to the inside of the bowl to serve as the hazards.  This arena, the Centrifuge, is based on "Centrifugal," a stage from the 2002 GameCube-Exclusive maze game Super Monkey Ball 2.

Another arena is a conveyer belt that leads into an inordinately hungry mouth that eats bots whole. There would be a smartzone inside the mouth that repeatedly raises and lowers a giant steel hazard shaped like an upper row of teeth that crushes bots. The inspiration here is the device from the 1987 film The Brave Little Toaster that crushes cars in the junkyard.

Or how about a level crossing where every so often, the boom gates lower and a train comes along and runs over any bot in its path. The frequency at which the train appears is randomized before the match starts.

Perhaps there could be the toy room of a deranged child? The child rampages around the room, throwing toys at any bot it sees. The child is indestructible.

There's also the Land of Darkness...

You know, just a thought...

Someone should recreate the B-Movie arena from Destruction Derby Arenas. Its on top of a giant skyscraper with 2 giant robotic dragons (optional) on the sides that breathe FIRE. Every 30 seconds or so, the edge of the arena drops out, so by about 1 min remaining in a 3 minute match, all thats left is a slight hill in the middle of the arena and the edge of it being about 3 feet wide. Maybe have a flame grill at the top of the hill. Have sirens that initiate the drop sequence of the arena. That would be SO sick.

If any of you want to give mapping a shot at a new in-development RA2 styled game, send me an IM or something. You can use pretty much any program you like to create the map (though I recommend blender). Also you don't need to worry about scripting hazards. As long as you're using Blender I can take apart the map and add the scripts to the game. I'm currently toying around with a rooftop arena myself.

Another good one could be based off the bonus destruction bowl Rough Justice.  The announcer best puts this arena in the intro he gives in this video.

Ah yes, I remember those two Arenas as well. I could definitely imagine Rough Justice working well, particularly with that giant swinging Mace in the middle of the Arena.

Mind you, I also quite liked the Colosseum Arena as well, with the Flippers and that Firepit in the middle- "Today, Lions would fear being thrown to these drivers!"

It is possible to do, I'm sure, but I doubt it would work very well within the game, since the game was designed for robots fighting and not special events. I could be wrong here, but that's what I would say.
There's also the time + skill factor, as Alex says.

I dunno about the floor grip but I don't think gravity can be altered. I know to create a false high-gravity Joe added kind of an invisible crusher pushing down, so I'd assume you couldn't change gravity.

Instead of carving a hole in the BBEANS arena, why not simply use the AU Onslaught Arena?

Its already a low walled arena with a center pit

IIRC you will need to code in some paths for the AI to follow (to avoid the pit) which you could do using the bbeans arena as a guide (should find it in the python file)

Minus the opening pit, you would have constructed the area yourself with a little bit of time and save yourself some money in the process  :gawe:

Plus I'm not a huge fan of the AU Onslaught Arena in the first place. And yes, the AI should be reconstructed, otherwise it's useless because the bots instantly drive in the pit.

Cool idea, but the new arena is really similar to the old one right? And we already have a recreation of the old arena :)

Personally I'd like to see the King of Bots arena. Looks like it would be a balanced arena; small enough to prevent HS from being OP (especially if the side hazards do plenty of damage), yet difficult (but not impossible) for pure flippers to score KOs.

Actually it isn't that similar. The screws in the new one are a big factor in many fights where as in the old one the spikes on the wall are annoying sometimes. Changing the color wouldn't be a big problem tho

Remakes of the old arenas from RW:ED on GBA - specifically, Melting Pot and Acid Bath. Those were so much fun.

obviously new battlebots arena. it'd be like a mix of robogames and the DSL battle box

also the design and destroy arenas would be hilarious

An arena based on GTM?
I dont know If that would work but
It would be neat

There would be the superbot13 corner, the admin corner, and the old members that recently came back corner. The middle would have the forum logo on it. Obviously superbot’s corner will deal 999999999999 damage.

I’m guessing if that arena was ever made, it would be a toxic wasteland dump.

Just to add to that, how about new members corner too, representing users like me, Moziet, Bildschirm, etc

So relatively well known new members? Gotcha.

any time a bot spawns in the arena with anything less than perfect efficiency, 20 fridges get dropped on it until its turned to dust

How bout an arena that specializes in 3 robot battles.
Make it a reskin if you have too.
Have two robots spawn in the corners and have one robot spawn in front of the middle of a wall.
Should be relatively easy seeing what Doot did to the Robogames Arena.

A triangle shaped arena would be really cool for this although now that I think of it trapping in a corner might be an issue

Will making the corner round solve the issue?

Done it, tried DSL, crashes whenever I select batteries and controlboard. Ridiculous. This was DSL 2.2

I don't really know the problem, but if this is a new install, it looks like a file for the battery and control board is missing. If this is vanilla 2.2, then try install all of DSC's IRL Packs. Maybe this will fix the control board and battery issue too, as the pack has recolored batteries

It would be cool to see some Arenas made for smaller weight classes such as antweights or beetleweights,

There's an AW arena in DSL, but it looks like crap IMO. A bit more variety would be nice. Maybe an AW version of the RW2016 arena, with smaller dimensions and less powerful hazards (so the floor flipper doesn't just yeet them out of the arena).

what if we had a tabletop arena with a spinning platform that gets faster as the match goes on (Kinda like a merry go round as an arena)

Small arena's annoying. That big crusher makes it not a fun arena to fight in.
EXCEPTION- disable hazards.

Hey, is there a step-by-step guide to building working arenas for RA2?

Yes. The old battlebox 2.0. It is in downloads.

I don't know if it's been suggested yet but has someone ever made the Debenham Robot Rumble arena from 2000 or something similar? It's basically just a plain brown wooden floor with some metal guard rails around it. Check Team Tornado's website for information on the event, there's plenty of pictures of the arena

Sorry if I necropost, but an idea for an Arena I have is the middle section of Doom II's Map 07: Dead Simple. I don't know why, but I think it'll be a good idea? Let me know.
