It needs to be a .bmp AND EXACTLY the same size as the old one.

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....
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...

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  ;)
