Messing with the files without knowing what they do is dangerous for Robot Arena. We need more info before we can help you.

SF,
The py is (at least) looking for the arena folder, arena.gmf, and arena.bmp preview.
If you send it to me I'll fix it for you and show you how....

I was going to say that ^


you need .py editing and GMF editing to successfuly duplicate and skin an arena


Mad will show you the rest, he is a great teacher  ;)
