Skinning an Arena
« on: November 30, 2009, 01:13:06 PM »
How do you reskin an arena?

The specific one is I'm looking to skin the RA2 tournament arena to make it look like the RW Arena from Series 7.

Thanks in advance for any help, it will be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: If anyone knows how to stop the drop zone from dropping the fridge at all that would meet my ends better. Thanks.

Is this for what I think it is?
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

just edit it on Paint and save it as a 24-Bit BMP file.

in the RA2 folder, go into arenas, then find the DSL tournament arena file, then go into Maps and edit the BMP images
