This is a question for Madiaba or another good arena modder:
What lines in the GMF would I have to edit to increase/decrease the size of an arena and its hazards?

Which arena?
What do you want to increase in the arena (floor, walls, ....).
And what do you mean increasing the size of the hazard(s)?
(Several others can answers these queries too...)

ooo I can help with this too :P just as soon as you answer those questions ^^ because every arena has different names fro parts in the GMF so you can never really know for sure :-D

I was gonna edit the robot wars arena, make it into the RW AW arena from Extreme.
Which means EVERYTHING in the arena.

I see now so you are looking to reduce the size of the whole arena by say half to a quarter ? correct ?

something like that could get really messy as the robot wars arena is made up of loads of different objects to make up the arena

infact it has 28331 lines in the GMF

from line 376 - 27742 is the area you will need to mod.

and after the sizes you will also need to move around everything so it connects back up in the arena and resize the collision

im not meaning to try and put you off but I think a simpler arena is a good place to start :-D still if you want to give it a go I can explain the parts you should change

JoeBlo · « **Reply #6 on:** November 19, 2009, 07:28:32 PM »

combat arena is a good one to start with Mad suggested that one to me when I first started :-D

ok what lines do I have to edit to edit size on that one?

first off what is you compiler of choice ?

Dummys one will not support transparency in arena (such as the walls) so I recommend Serges one

then I wrote up the first step here for you
