Hey guys :)

Well, i've decided to make a start on a new Robot Wars arena :P (I've managed to 90% perfect the ase to gmf convert method, so I thought i'd give this a try! :3)

Here is the new mesh at the moment,

So, as you can see, so far most of the textures are sorted out, main floor is done, pit and floor flipper done, and the new tire :P

The skins are from the RW:ED game arena (I found the thread :P)

The 2 Dantomkia's are also my reference bots :P (They are roughly the same size as an ordinary DSL heavy)

Once the arena mesh is finished, then i'll give a try at turning it into a full arena :P (Which is kinda why I started this thread... incase I run into any difficulty xD)

If anyone wants to try having a go at converting it then feel free to ask for the mesh! I feel more confident at meshing and skinning than all that techinical .py and gmf stuff haha :')

Anyway, opinions and feedback? :)

-Wham

Very nice work so far. It always bugged me how in the Robot Wars arena we had the flipper was a flat face, this'll be quite different!

Nice, I think this will be helpful for once Jonzu decides to do another Robot Wars competition. Resetti could use it too.

First of: Good job!

I`m so used to the one we`ve got that this one looks mirrored.
are you sure the dropzone is that close to the pit? and does the pit decend slowly like the real one?

Will you post this Dantomkia with your other replicas like you said in ptwr? (and will you release it in another AI pack?)

Thanks guys :)

And haha the original is acctually mirrored :P Which is something that's always annoyed me, so was one of the reasons for working on this :P
And i'm still trying to fix the little bugs with it atm, once its done though i'll hopefully release it :P

I was talking to trov a long time ago about making an arena simmilar to the one of RW but I don`t have the skills knowledge and time. did you read the other stuff I wrote?

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #6 on:** March 22, 2013, 01:51:40 PM »

Fair enough. I'm not at like Trov or Mad level, but I'm somewhat ok :P And dont think so...

Thyrus · « **Reply #7 on:** March 22, 2013, 02:31:05 PM »

I meant the stuff about the pit and the drop zone :P cause I edited that post a few minutes after I posted it

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #8 on:** March 22, 2013, 02:58:54 PM »

ohh :P

I dont think it is, it's just the skin from the RW:ED arena. It can be changed easily :P And not at the moment as it is just a mesh xD But hopefully once I get round to editing it all it will do :) (With pit siren aswell :P)

Thyrus · « **Reply #9 on:** March 22, 2013, 03:01:05 PM »

Looking forward to it. hope everything goes as planed

Sonny's Inane Request Time:

-Can you make a version where the floor flipper and dropzone are turned off, but all the other hazards work normally?
-Is the pit small enough to only fit 1 large robot at a time?
-Can you make the starting points be the edges and not the corners?

I'd love you forever if you could do those things.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #16 on:** March 22, 2013, 07:24:55 PM »

-Sure

-Yes
-Was going to do anyway :P

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #17 on:** March 22, 2013, 07:38:17 PM »

Awesome, you're the best

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #18 on:** March 22, 2013, 08:49:53 PM »

Hehe thanks, but i'm hardly that good yet :')

Have an arena backwall :P

A few of the textures need to be improved, but that can be done at a later date :)

And while i'm at it - have some angle grinders aswell :P

It's getting there slowly but surely! :3
