Hey, long time lurker first time poster.
Been working on an arena for about a week now and it's nearly ready for release. Started off as a reskin of the AU arena from the BBAI pack to make it look like the Rio Delgado Center from RA1 (ya'know, to match the imported RA1 parts in the Retooled pack). Started messing with the .gmf and one thing led to another and it kinda turned into its own thing.

EDIT: Gave the arena a proper name, got the OOTA working, and walls hitbox fixed.

also its possible to import the whole rio arena :dumb)

That's super cool, nice work. You should upload it to the downloads section, cause that dropbox link is gonna die at some point.

I really like this arena; nice job :)

I was just wondering the other day how come we don't have more RA1 arenas.
Nice work

There's a few ways to add elimination zones, but most arenas just use this bit of code from the tabletop arenas:
def Tick(self):
# check to see if anyone has been "eliminated" by falling off the tabletop
for each in self.players:
if plus.getLocation(each)[1] < Y:
plus.eliminatePlayer(each)
return Arenas.SuperArena.Tick(self)
where Y is the height a robot needs to be in order to be eliminated. If you were able to figure out the .gmf, finding the correct Y value should be easy enough.
The code is pretty flexable, plus.eliminatePlayer(each) can be changed to any command, such as plus.addPoints(each, X) or plus.force(BotID, X_Direction, Y_Direction, Z_Direction) or whatever. You can also change the < to a > if you want a robot that is higher than a certain height to have an effect, rather than lower.
This thread also has some information on how to add OOTA zones and other hazards. (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=17773.msg677300#msg677300)
The arena itself is looking pretty good. The only thing I would really add is a hazard or two, just to give it some variety. I feel some combat zone-esque popup spikes, or hellraisers would fit well with this arena.
