RFSHQ arena

[Reier]

This sounds real stupid, but how do I skin the RFSHQ tourney arena? I just repaint the "tourneyfloor.bmp" & nothing happens.

Sometimes the exe doesn't go to an exact folder to look for a certain file. When it loads, it scans more broadly than you'd think, and the first file it runs across with the correct name it loads. I don't know the parameters within which the exe looks for files, or certain kinds of files, but I know for sure it does this 'broad searching'.
You probably have other versions of RA2 or other arenas with that file name or what ever... but it's finding the other xxxx.bmp before the one you moded.
If I were you, I'd just take and re-name the arena giving it and sub files new, exclusive names, and then you will never load another file with the same name, because there's only one.
If you want help, I can show you how to do it (only take a couple mins).

Ok, figured it out.
Which one do you guys like best for RRR? (Nar, S32, Urj, SA, Wham, & SB know what I mean.)



Or should I make another if you don't like these?

Please specify.

#1 and #3 are good. Probably have to be #3 for me. Also, yay another tourney!

[Reier]

....Actually this is sort of like DF's tourney. Entries are already closed, sorry. It's just to see if I want to do a tourney in the future.
I'm not nessisarily holding it on GTM.

I have to say I like #1 the best.

[Flying_Chao]

#1 and #3 are better than #2.

[System32]

3 for me.

[JoeBlo]

I actually like 2 the best but with only the logo it looks to plain (just don't really like the boxes) but otherwise I would say 3

[trumpetguy]

3 different then the other two possibly because it is lighter

[RFS]

...we had our own arena? :v:
