I would enjoy a standard "Low Lag" combat arena with low walls for flippers. :D

Well, here it is. I will be sending out the shiny claw to the winners of the bonus awards and rumble and second place. First place got a special Combat Arena that has no hazards and appears at the top of the list, so people playing in the combat arena don't even have to go into the arenas tab. This is because the winner decided to let everyone have the RAW arena!

RAW Arena

umm... yea

An arena that has Custom introductions when a certain bot with a certain name enters. Ex:

When Rabid pit bull is in the arena, during the intro scene, a commentator will say:

"Ever been attacked? You'll need more than a Rabies shot after facing Rabid pit buuuull!"

#RAW Arena: And it's creators were nice enough to share their toil...
-------------
#Duck, nice idea... and offer. Thanks.
It would be great to bring all these ideas into one place; So to facilitate this, here is a word.doc and a thread link. Spyguy put alot of work gathering these ideas.

The word.doc contains the posts of a similar-themed thread on the old forum. SG saved them before it went down. We added to it since then too. Go through these 40 pages and pick out the nice, cool, best sounding arena ideas and post them here in your list.

Also, Venko started a thread on arenas that he would like to build. Go through it, and take the best stuff to post to your list here.
Link to other Venko's thread: https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=795

I also put these link up in the first post. Go through the ideas and pick out arena ideas you like( or any of your own), then post them here and Duck (or I) will add them to the list above. All ideas are welcome... Then... we'll see which and what can be done.

Thanks Duck.

that could be a finishing touch, it would probably be something like

specialOpt = ("Sounds/announcers/pitbull.wav", "Sounds/announcers/pitbull2.wav")
sounds['special'] = plus.createSound(random.choice(specialOpt), False, (0,0,0))

If robotname ( is there a variable for it???) = "rabid pit bull" Then
plus.playSound(sounds['special'])

is that close Madiaba?

Thanks for the txt file, thanks spyguy too, maybe we should all vote on one from there. I was thinking the skyscrapper would be a good one...

Going to be rough and undetailed with most of these ideas. Some might be good, some might be bad.

1. More arenas with flipper based hazards.
2. Scrapyard. Sort of like Sao Paolo out of the Robot Wars games. The crusher would complete it.
3. More tabletop arenas. That section is bare.
4. Same with King of the Hill. 2 arenas. Atleast the Clawtop got some modifications, but I haven't seen any sort of KOTM arena mod. (My WIP doesn't really count)
5. A better version of the Bridge of Doom. Says enough.
6. Something with a cool or hilarious pit. (Like the glass roof on the Japanese rooftops in the Robot Wars games)

I think I like that junk yard scrap yard idea.!

SpyGuy · « **Reply #11 on:** February 17, 2009, 07:23:48 PM »

Looks like the junkyard arena idea is winning so far, and it's not like we don't have a lot of the parts built already .... Guess it's time for me to fire up several of my digital manipulation programs, and see what we can get going here.

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 17, 2009, 07:32:50 PM »

easy for the junk, just hijack, lol, models from other things in RA2, ex: an old reskinned rusty trophy, or DDT burst motor

SpyGuy · « **Reply #13 on:** February 17, 2009, 07:45:16 PM »

Well, we already have a lot of the stuff built:
-The Compacter from the compressor arena
-All the junk in the DSL Garage
-I like the rusty trophy idea ........ will have to play around with that
-The heckraiser doors from the Octogon arena, stood on end and against the wall instead of the floor
-Any of the components being used in the game could be left laying around
-My Sears battery (Woohoo!)
-Additional thought for the Compactor: make a ramp similar to the DSL Garage, and have it leading over the top of the compactor. Useful for pushing bots over the edge and into the slammer .....

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 17, 2009, 08:15:14 PM »

exactly, we can use your battery if you want. I don't really mind

only thing I suck at most, is getting the skin on the object, maybe mad could help...

EDIT: becuase they are rusty, I probably could use the skin ment for it, like say I converted a wall of the arena into a trophy, I could just use the wall's skin, just make it rust though.

^^^nvd that didn't work^^^

So far I got a barrel in, but its all green and non skinnafied

Here's an arena that SG and I thought through, but not started yet. It's a Challenge arena that you battle your way through. You start at the bottom floor, and there are 3 tuff AI at strategic locations along your path, to the top. You must conquer each bot at that level before you are permitted to advance up to the next level. There are barriers that obstruct the path, until the present opponent is eliminated.
Along the path on the ramps is a 'Life-ReCharger' (LR), which will give your bot some life back to prepare for the next battle ahead.
This means that you alone have to face and DEFEAT ALL 3 AI YOURSELF; they are not damaging each other, it's all up to you.
You may start the timer at 5:00 at first to make your way to the top, and then decrease your allotted time if/when you master that skill level(as you get better).
There are also 'Arena Dangers' that might jump out at you as an added challenge.
And if along your way up, a you fall or get pushed off, then your bot will instantly die and blow up into pieces. Too bad.

ooh boy, that could take work, maybe 3d studio max, that seems a little tough on notepad for me

Somebody · « **Reply #17 on:** February 18, 2009, 06:23:54 AM »

I would like that arena.

System32 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 18, 2009, 08:10:45 AM »

Me too!

Reier · « **Reply #19 on:** February 18, 2009, 08:19:43 AM »

Sounds interesting, but lag would be an issue, I think.
