How To Copy Arenas For multiple Skins
step 1, find the arena in the arenas folder you want to make a copy of
right click the folder and click copy and rename it something different for example "myarena" make a copy of the .py file also and rename it the same name as the folder
open the .py file in notepad (I would advise Python if your editing it but not necessary since were only changing names)
find a section like this
name = "Combat Arena"
preview = "box/box_preview.bmp"
game_types = ['DEATHMATCH', 'BATTLE ROYAL', 'TEAM MATCH']
def __init__(self):
Arenas.SuperArena.__init__(self, "Arenas/box/boxarena.gmf")ok the
Combat Arena is the name that will appear in game, change this to what ever you want
the sections
box is the name of the folder you just named, so put the same as what you previously named the other folder
using my previous example it should look like this
name = "My New Arena"
preview = "myarena/box_preview.bmp"
game_types = ['DEATHMATCH', 'BATTLE ROYAL', 'TEAM MATCH']
def __init__(self):
Arenas.SuperArena.__init__(self, "Arenas/myarena/boxarena.gmf")ok now go into that new copy of the arena and skin all your images how you want
next rename all the images something different, so say intead of "box_outerfloor" call it something like "theouterfloor"
once you have done that for ALL images grab a decompiler for the GMF
I strongly recommend Serges one for arenas, its easy to use just open up the decompiler and find the arenas GMF, its inside the new arena folder you made. then it will appear for you to save the decompiled file name it anything you want.
go through the top section of the GMF in notepad,
find sections such as this
*BITMAP oct_sawblade.bmpchange the name of it to what ever it is you renamed the file too, such as
*BITMAP new_saw.bmponce you have done that for all of the file names, grab the re compiler and recompile the GMF to the original location of the arena GMF
*note make sure you add the extension .gmf when saving with the decompiler
Hope that helps
