Title: RW:ED Arena Plan View Image
Post by: Ducky on June 06, 2012, 04:57:59 PM
I have managed to extract the TV Studio arena from Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction. I thought this plan view of the arena might be useful to anyone wishing to mod or to take the plunge and create a new Robot Wars arena. I wouldn't have a clue how to make an arena so please feel free to use this image.

Excellent job! It could be a definite improvement over the current one if skinned right, but we'll somehow have to move the location of the Drop Zone.

But I suppose the pit and flipper on the current arena wont be in the exact same position either. It'd need a lot of work but it would be worth it. There's the textures for the pit release, the control pods and everything else in the arena as well. But is there someone willing to take on this task of modding the current arena?

Considering how many people are interested in this, we should try to turn it into a cooperative mod. Personally, I don't have the time to do it by myself but I would be willing to lend my assistance/expertise. The more people that would be willing to help, the faster and easier it will be to make it. Regardless of how much knowledge of modding you have, your assistance would be much appreciated (as long as you are willing to learn a few simple things).

It might also be easier to start from scratch as opposed to using the current one. I know that I was helping Thyrus to make a more realistic version but its been awhile and I don't remember us getting very far (I was just showing Thyrus the basics). I've also been planning to add the housebots to any of the RW Arena's renditions but, as previously mentioned, I've been kinda busy.

I'd be happy to offer any help that I can. I have a pretty good idea of what everything does. :)
Title: Re: RW:ED Arena Plan View Image
Post by: Ducky on June 08, 2012, 04:27:31 PM
I was hoping you guys would say make a new one! We could add things in such as the pit siren and things. I'm prepared to learn as well, I'd love to help make it.

I stole acquired an educational version of 3DS MAX, up to 2011 iirc. I'd be willing to learn for this.

Wait, if you can do this, than surely you can extract the textures of other arenas?

And if you can, everyone here would appreciate it if you uploaded all the textures in a .zip and sent it our way. This could seriously help the modding community !

Ah yeah Trov! I always wanted to come back at this but I forgot it.
Title: Re: RW:ED Arena Plan View Image
Post by: Ducky on June 09, 2012, 04:14:15 AM
Ok'll upload the textures of all of the arenas in a zip. I wasn't sure whether there was as much interest in the others. There in sections though, so I'll piece them together like I did with the Robot Wars Arena.

Of course Thyrus would be the first one to help.

Bravo, Thy! I'd +1 ya, but I don't have rep privileges. Maybe these clapping smiley will do in abundance -  :claping

Post by: NFX on June 09, 2012, 05:47:53 AM
Pretty awesome. I'm just wondering if you'd need to flip the floor plan over to get the pit and flipper on the right side of the arena.
 
Also, yay Taur. :gawe:
Title: Re: RW:ED Arena Plan View Image
Post by: Thyrus on June 09, 2012, 10:02:58 AM
are there a few more files in the Arna folder of RW:ED? Like the pit button and stuff?
Title: Re: RW:ED Arena Plan View Image
Post by: Ducky on June 09, 2012, 03:02:54 PM
Ah yes I was thinking about those extra bits. Theres the pit button, the angle grinder metal surrounds (although they are a 3d object of course) and the arena wall metal sections (the parts painted with yellow and black stripes) and the top metal strip of the arena wall. I'll upload those. The current black pit button was annoying me too.
Title: Re: RW:ED Arena Plan View Image
Post by: Wolfsbane on June 09, 2012, 03:10:15 PM
I HAZ IDEA

let's change all the RA2 textures to make it fit the the art style of RWED.

I had a go at covering the pit tyre myself (I figured out how to do it, it was suprisingly easy! :mrgreen:) It looks kinda wierd though. The centre part of the tyre model is far too small.

Looks amaaazing~

Could you send that to me, Thy? I tried to skin it, but everything went white and blew up. >_<
Title: Re: RW:ED Arena Plan View Image
Post by: Thyrus on June 10, 2012, 05:57:10 AM

Title: Re: RW:ED Arena Plan View Image
Post by: Ducky on June 10, 2012, 06:03:55 AM
Looks better, ah a Series 3 Firestorm I see! Theres all of the textures for the walls if we could implement them, heres some of them but theres a lot more.
Title: Re: RW:ED Arena Plan View Image
Post by: Thyrus on June 10, 2012, 06:11:04 AM
problem is: there are a few textures I don`t know where to put

I made that replica 2 years ago

I have to PM Trovaner for some help with the .gmf file cause the anglegrinders are colored in there.
Also: who the f*ck skined this arena in the first place? the bottom half of the teamboxes use the same texture as the pit button. now that I reskined that butten the boxes are yellow too. very stupid idea

Also wondered to myself- would it be possible to mod the arena so that the wall with the House Robot entrances and teamboxes is correct (As in actually connected to the arena like in real life rather than completely disconnected), and that the Pit Release button is solid and like it was (The bumper rather than the tyre) in Series 6?
The arena itself is good, but those two factors have always kind of bugged me.

Lu-Tze made a great job in building the arena (RIP) but in terms of skinning that wasn`t a good choise. I never noticed the weird colors on those boxes before. Also I want to change the picture of the guy standing in those boxes. might take an photo two real persons like George Francis or someone else. Also I need to change the blurry audience.

@GF: I`m sure it can be done. I have to get deeper into gmf file editing. I guess you just have to relocate the position of the 3D model of the entrance thingy

Thyrus how did you blank off the areas where the flame grill and dropzone were? Did you have to recolour the red to grey? I've wondered how to do stuff like that.

Be still my heart!  Everyone really made some damn fine artwork for this.  This is the first I'm seeing of it (slowpoke.jpg) because my company didn't allow GTM on its internet service.  So forgive me if this is an obvious question but do the pit and the flame jets still "correspond" with the hazard markers on the new skin?
Title: Re: RW:ED Arena Plan View Image
Post by: Thyrus on September 05, 2012, 06:23:31 PM
they should. I placed them where the old ones where. But I need to make minor changes on the bmp again to make the replaced flamejets look better

Hey, Ive been working on the arena/game and here are the list of things i can make for the game so far
-Pit of doom with siren and button
-drop zone with one object
-flame pit (at the moment its on all the time but it will have a script where it activates when a robot is over it
- disk of doom (will be shown later on)
- doors open for the robots to enter the arena




Their some of the few things i can do at the moment but here is a video to show you what has been done

Looks canny mint so far, a good improvement when compared to the old arena. This is probably an odd question but are you adding the entry ramps, ect?

I finally got around to implementing the RW arena skin, here are some pictures of the fruits of your labour.  The pit trigger does have to be silver unfortunately, its skin is the same as that of the control pods.

Might also be good to get the object outliner for paint.net so you can do the stat cards properly: http://paint.net.amihotornot.com.au/Features/Effects/Plugins/Object/Outline_Object/
