I've had this sitting on my computer for quite some time so I figured that its time to release it. My initial plan was to add asteroids and other crazy hazards but I haven't worked on it in quite so time and nothing that I add stays in it. In fact, every time I tried adding something to this arena, it always evolved into something else (namely the ActionCam and Online Arena).

Big thanks to Jonzu95 for posting a schematic of the arena in the Arena Ideas thread (here).

Here are some pretty pictures.

Features:

There is an outer wall to this arena but if you go too fast up a ramp, you may end up flying out of the arena.
The AI is fully capable of navigating this arena and not following opponents into the pits.
The pits deliver damage as opposed to eliminating bots.

You can download this arena from here.

No.

You've already set an arena. You need to fix one thing in the rules before it goes into signups and then you accept entries and bots. Stop changing stuff.

Wow, You made it! The arena looks terrific. I can't wait to test it.

I can't download WinRAR

Sylandro · « **Reply #15 on:** February 19, 2013, 07:08:59 AM »

Then download 7zip.

So much stupidity ruining this thread...

Looks awesome, Trov. Glad to see that the pits do more than simply eliminate a robot. Is there a possibility of a pitted robot getting out before it is completely destroyed, or does the robot just die a slow, painful death?

Trovaner · « **Reply #17 on:** February 19, 2013, 10:03:28 AM »

Depending on a number of factors, a bot can get thrown out of the pits. I cranked up the elasticity of the pit floors and added an upward force that is suppose to launch bots whenever it delivers damage but you still get bots that fail to get thrown above the pits' edges. Some bots, however, get thrown almost as high as the skybox.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 28, 2013, 03:09:12 PM »

After testing the Black Hole Arena, the pits were a bit confusing for me... When I pushed opponent there, it just bounced few times and did not any damage to the bot. This wasn't purpose of the arena originally. =/

But the good thing is that the arena is in perfect shape, and I was thinking to give a shot for reskinning it.

Trovaner · « **Reply #19 on:** February 28, 2013, 04:32:37 PM »

It should be delivering damage. It just doesn't amount to much.

Go ahead and try reskinning it. I'm using the same texture for two major sections so you would need to modify the GMF if you wanted it to be different.
