So this is what I've been getting up to recently.
Working on a redone Octagon Arena. Started off with a reskin, making it look slightly more awesome, I'll probably finish it off at some point.
I've also gone into the .py file for it, and disabled the Hellraisers. Hammers and pit covers still work when the hazards are on, but the Hellraisers don't fire anymore. They just got in the way far too often, in my view, especially with being slap bang in the middle of the arena. They're now static and say "Access Panel". They could house things like electricals for the pit covers or something.
----Things to do----
> Keep the pit covers closed for longer. Couldn't quite find it in the .py.
Few things that would also involve messing with the GFM a fair amount. I couldn't quite find the page that told you what everything in it did.
> Get rid of the Hellraisers altogether.
> Flatten the pit covers.
> Remove the striped bars and allow robots to drive freely onto the second level.
I had a go at flattening the pit covers, and making the Hellraisers transparent and perfectly flat, but when I tried to compile the GMF file I just got a black screen, followed by the noise of the crowd and my robot after a few seconds. I could still move the cursor around, and do the movement and weapons controls, but I just got the sounds of the motors and bursts firing and such. Just a black screen with a cursor. Hopefully that doesn't happen the next time I have a go.
Any other arena tweaks, reskins and such I do will go in here, when I learn to do more stuff.
