The CombatArenaType.xdb file should be into this CombatArenaType folder (data.pak\GameMechanics\CombatArenaTypes\CombatArenaTypes.xdb).

At the start page of 'data.pak' IIRC.

From the data.pak of your game?
Else download one more time the tutorial MOD.

I have a question.
Is it possible on a map to link a new Arena with a script region, so that I say: In this area only these Arena's are allowed to show up?

El_Chita: probably, it should work like this. I didn't try it but there are special arenas in campaigns.

Maniek: you mean the black ground? Maybe you should change the UndergroundAmbiantLight. Did you have tried with another?

I repaired my arena. I found mistake in your tutorial.

Should be:
1) Open your map with an archiver (Winrar), go in Maps/Multiplayer/my_arena_01/ and extract the 2 files:
a) 'map.xdb' and 'GroundTerrain.bin' When you make arena on the ground,
b) 'map.xdb' and 'UndergroundTerrain.bin' when you make arena in underground.
Or sth similar (my english is terrible  

When I finish my arena I will share it.

Right, thank you.
But I can't edit my tutorial, thus if a moderator could do it, thanks in advance. Just add the green words:

Did anyone tried this on his map and can tell me or knows exactly which campagn maps use this code?

I made a palace out of marble and it would be illogical to fight on grass arenas in the palace.

I'm having great fun with the new arenas, and I'm trying to create some myself...
but I've a couple of questions to ask you Modders =)
when you add a creature in the arena, how to remove the "star" under its feet to make it work just as part of the scene?
and  it seems I can't have the right light in the arenas I create... could you give me some hints?

...and while I'm here... how to increase the size of a creature?
I've seen some pics of your map editor with an "ScalePercntage" command, but I can't find how to make it pop =/

hi Zenithale, I really thank you for your reply!
I've already read the guide from Fiur, got it the other day, so, with the "Pointing Light" I'd say I've partially solved the problem with the "Ambient Light"...
but I still can't figure out how to increase the size of creatures or buildings with the editor... I've noticed it can be done modifying the map.xdb, but still I can't find the "SizePercent" command =)

Properties Panel, down in the left corner. There you will also find the shared button, where you can create new objects and give them models and animations, so that you can 'remove' the star under the creature's feet.

Yes, I made a list. If you understand german, it will help you, but if you don't, you have to use a dictionary

oook, I got why I could not find the ScalePercent command... coz it was IMPOSSIBLE!
I was using the HV Editor... and as far as I see there's no way to change the size of environments...
I noticed that I HAD another Editor, the TotE one... and EVERYTHING is ok now!
tbh I feel a bit stupid now... I thought I was the onl one unable to mod even with the guide from Fiur, bah...
...but now I can have an hydra bigger than Zenithale's =p
thank you anyway, see u for the next problem!

oookei, here's the next problem...
as per Fiur's guide, if you want to create a solid object in the middle of the arena you have to "Mask" it with the proper command... so, I suppose, that you can do the same to make a particular zone of the battlefield, like a crater or a lake, not walkable...
but it seems I can't obtain the wanted result; maybe some1 could give me a suggesion?
