first off what is you compiler of choice ? Dummys one will not support transparency in arena (such as the walls) so I recommend Serges one then I wrote up the first step here for you https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?p=79597#post79597try out that and tell me how you go

Resizing the Combat Zone Arena - Part 1
Arena Collision
after you decompile box.gmf
ok once we are open you will find the to section is the skins and textures of the arena but we will come back to those later, there is quite a lot of it to pass by but find this part
*OBJECT_LIST
this is what you need to edit
*NODE_NAME arena_collision
is the first object... so no what to edit..
*MESH_VERTEX 0 -12.7 -2.264982 -12.39729
*MESH_VERTEX 1 12.7 -2.264982 -12.39729
*MESH_VERTEX 2 -12.7 -2.264982 13.0027
*MESH_VERTEX 3 12.7 -2.264982 13.0027
*MESH_VERTEX 4 -12.7 13.73502 -12.39729
*MESH_VERTEX 5 12.7 13.73502 -12.39729
*MESH_VERTEX 6 -12.7 13.73502 13.0027
*MESH_VERTEX 7 12.7 13.73502 13.0027
this part here... each vertex is a point and the 3 columns behind it are the coordinates (8 points makes a cube :-D)
the first column is the X axis
second column is the Y axis
third column is the Z axis
this object is only the collision for the arena so its up to youi what you pick for it but remember to keep the - signs if there is one
so if we make the arena half the floor size it would look something like this
*MESH_VERTEX 0 -6.45 -2.264982 -6.2
*MESH_VERTEX 1 6.45 -2.264982 -6.2
*MESH_VERTEX 2 -6.45 -2.264982 6.5
*MESH_VERTEX 3 6.45 -2.264982 6.5
*MESH_VERTEX 4 -6.45 13.73502 -6.2
*MESH_VERTEX 5 6.45 13.73502 -6.2
*MESH_VERTEX 6 -6.45 13.73502 6.5
*MESH_VERTEX 7 6.45 13.73502 6.5
notice the second column is untouched ? that is only the height of the arena if you want to change this to half the size also it isnt done the same
*MESH_VERTEX 0 -6.45 -2.264982 -6.2
*MESH_VERTEX 1 6.45 -2.264982 -6.2
*MESH_VERTEX 2 -6.45 -2.264982 6.5
*MESH_VERTEX 3 6.45 -2.264982 6.5
*MESH_VERTEX 4 -6.45 6.5 -6.2
*MESH_VERTEX 5 6.45 6.5 -6.2
*MESH_VERTEX 6 -6.45 6.5 6.5
*MESH_VERTEX 7 6.45 6.5 6.5
notice -2.264982 wasnt changed ? that is the floor so unless you intend changing the height of it dont touch the first 4 vertex's otherwise you will have robots driving above or inside the floor

combat arena is a good one to start with Mad suggested that one to me when I first started :-D

perhaps combined all 3 ?

I see now so you are looking to reduce the size of the whole arena by say half to a quarter ? correct ?
something like that could get really messy as the robot wars arena is made up of loads of different objects to make up the arena
infact it has 28331 lines in the GMF
from line 376 - 27742 is the area you will need to mod.
and after the sizes you will also need to move around everything so it connects back up in the arena and resize the collision
im not meaning to try and put you off but I think a simpler arena is a good place to start :-D still if you want to give it a go I can explain the parts you should change

With CombatAnt immobilized you wouldn't have to worry about CF getting eliminated from the competition, as 1st to 3rd go through, though 1st gets that boost into Round 3. Yeah, it doesn't exactly have the control for a rumble. Well, kind of, but not for point scoring in 1 minute rounds. ah I see what you mean now, dont worry I wasn't angry just wanting to know what you were getting at. it would be nice if the other robots came to fight me before the end of the 1 min match :P the control issue, if you look back to that picture I showed earlier, if a robot is in front it will accelerate the z-tek to shuffle towards it but with 3 robots and the z-tek accelerating about 180 degrees to shuffle the robot became a spinning top part way through the round is it still rumbles from here on now ?

Well a tournament that is fun to watch is what I was going for. You can test true potential in the boring combat arena with no hazards on your own time :P I must agree, in a combat arena different bot types fighting is ok, but if you were to get 4 uber mace HS robots that match could be as dull as dishwater waiting for those robots to break away maces 1 by 1

I got in a fight at school, and i ended up getting suspended. But, there was a monkey watching us. is that the reasoning behind your recent aggressive nature ? you used to be a nicer person then you have been acting lately... sorry its not intended to be offensive I jut thought it was a shame to see you change so

no offence is intended with this post it is the actual name for it....
its called n00by driving (seriously) referring to claiming you can beat all AI by outdriving them, just about all starcore robots have an exposed rear to exploit if you are a cleaver driver,
AI'd in the combat zone with hazards off is the only way to test a bots real strength against an AI robot

ooo I can help with this too :P just as soon as you answer those questions ^^ because every arena has different names fro parts in the GMF so you can never really know for sure :-D

make a folder in System Files called Infogrames
(that isnt essential but its better in the long run as some people refer to this folder)
then extract the zip into there, no need to set up just hit Robot Arena 2.exe and play :-D
