And that's fantastic to hear- once they're on and sorted out, would you mind providing a few pictures of the finished mesh? Thanks.

Certainly

I am quite proud with how this has turned out :P It's like 99% done, only thing that really needs to be done is the Drop Zone object (might make it a Washing Machine, but make it collapsible like the Computer in the DSL Test Arena, so it's more realistic than an unbreakable block of a fridge lol) and some details at the back of the venue (can't remember that well what went there...)

Other than them... It's done! :D Now to wait and see if anyone would like the job of coding to a GMF and PY (still feel it's rude to ask directly... lol) And I know it seems a bit dark, but hopefully once a few Omni lights have been added it should make it more brighter :P

That's nothing short of Magnificent! Well done, that'll be absolutely marvellous once it's coded.

Beautiful! I really hope you find someone who knows how to do GMF editing. Maybe put "GMF coder needed" or something in the title. Which side do you mean when you say the "back of the venue?"

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #63 on:** March 31, 2013, 12:43:36 PM »

^^ Shall do! :P

And thanks! :) I might try and make some 'mesh-remakes' of some of the other arenas on the game :) (Fancy being my partner for this, Ducky?

)

Actually might aswell start a 'Mesh Market' thread :P I have a few robot replica meshes, ect. Might aswell post my meshes on there and if anyone fancies having a go at the mesh convertion themselves, then they're welcome to it :)

And by that I mean the side on the outside of the arena 'lexan audience walls' that has nothing there (you can see the arena wall with the roboteer pods and the two side with the audience and numbers, the remaining wall is the one that I'm on about)

Here's a potential description for it-

"Purpose-rebuilt in the United Kingdom, the legendary Robot Wars Arena is where their Champions have proven themselves to be a formidable force, and where many a competitor has fought (and fallen) bravely. Not many have returned in one piece- often courtesy of the varied hazards that dominate the scene, including the Floor Flipper, the Drop Zone, Angle Grinders, Flame Grille, and the dreaded Pit of Oblivion."

There are indeed other files, although some of them seem specialised to the game or something. Theres ".col" and ".chs" files for robot chassis' (Fictional and real-life robots), ".col" and ".wpn" files for weapons, ".arm" files for armour and others. I presume the ".col" files are the meshes as they appear in multiple places? Also theres meshes and textures for drop zone objects and barrels, perhaps you could use those drop zone objects?
And ahh yes more arenas, that could be a cunning plan!

I put together the Japanese Rooftop arena floor a while back (the arena floors are in sections in seperate images).

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #66 on:** March 31, 2013, 03:00:10 PM »

I presume that by looking at the pattern, .col would be the collision files. I dont think that the .chs, .are, .arm ect. files are recogniseable by programs, is there a way to open them up and see if they hold any other files in them? If not send a couple over and I'll see what I can do with them. As for meshes and textures for drop zone objects, sure send them over, couldnt hurt :3 And mwahaha an accomplice! ;D The Japanese Rooftop is one I was acctually really wanting to do next! :D I loved that arena haha! (And the Sao Paulo Scrapyard! :D)

Ducky · « **Reply #67 on:** March 31, 2013, 03:10:44 PM »

Ohh I see, and yeah I didnt think so. I've found that the .arm, .chs, .are files all open up in notepad. They just detail info such as camera angles, damage and strength for each object. Not sure where the meshes are then at the mo, will have to have a further nosey! As far as textures are concerned theres an anvil, barrels, washing machine, and a piano etc.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #68 on:** March 31, 2013, 03:14:09 PM »

Fair enough then! :P And omg please could you send over the washing machine?! :D That would be a MASSIVE help! xD

Right heres all the drop zone objects I came across, there may be more. https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/Drop Zone Objects.rar
I've noticed in the textures folder there are .rwm files, would these mean anything? They open up as a page-full of gibberish in notepad.

probably obscure picture files...

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #72 on:** March 31, 2013, 03:24:13 PM »

I'd dare say that .rwm means Robot Wars Mesh... :P

Ducky · « **Reply #73 on:** March 31, 2013, 04:34:17 PM »

Right well heres a couple of .rwm files to play with in case they are of any use https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/Possible Meshes.rar Sorry about the delay!

Japanese Rooftops in RA2 would be best thing. A new, good tabletop arena <3 only problem is the glass?

Few options:

Button to open.
Slide or fall open after a certain amount of time.
Act like the fridge in the RW arena (when you hit it when flipped or glitch into it, it falls).

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #76 on:** March 31, 2013, 05:42:56 PM »

Thanks Ducky! It'll take some time but hopefully I should have them figure out soonish :P

And yeah Rob that's pretty much correct with the fridge! I think that you could maybe set up a delay on some nodes (mesh parts) so that once they've been sat on for long enough, they turn into unstatic objects (similar to the original arena) :)

Falling platforms, like in the obstacle arena

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #78 on:** April 01, 2013, 04:52:58 AM »

Exactly :P

And on a side note...

Can you tell what it is yet?

Kid_Krusher13 · « **Reply #79 on:** April 01, 2013, 06:41:36 AM »

Is that..the Rooftop arena from RW:AOD?Also I would lose it if you made the Sao Paulo Scrapyard or the Car Factory from Extreme Destruction.
