Arena builder

The builder lets you create and edit arenas directly in-game, without touching the configuration. Each arena is saved and appears immediately.

Open the builder

In-game, type the command:

/arena_builder

Access is restricted to administrators. On VORP, these are the groups listed in Config.Builder.adminGroups; on RSG, it is the josk_arena.builder ace permission (see Installation). The builder tablet then opens and lists existing arenas.

Create an arena

  1. In the tablet, choose create a new arena and give it a name.
  2. Place the arena's points (see the table below). For each point, the tablet hides and you place the element with the mouse in the world.
  3. Return to the tablet and save. The arena instantly appears on the map with its blip and welcome NPC.

Points to place

PointRole
Polygon cornersDefine the arena zone. You need at least 3.

Cameras automatically capture your free-cam pose (position + angle) when you validate — orient the camera the way you want it, then validate.

Per-arena settings

From the tablet, each arena has settings that override the global config when filled in (otherwise they fall back to the defaults):

  • Fighters (arena-specific solo / NPC roster)
  • Rewards
  • Betting (toggle, min/max bets, rake, allowed modes)
  • Required job
  • Bookmaker NPC model
  • Blip name and sprite
  • Arena enabled state

Enable / disable

A disabled arena shows no blip or NPC and refuses entry. Use the tablet's enable toggle to open or close it without deleting it.

Reset a zone

In case of trouble (stuck fight, leftover NPC), an admin can reset a zone:

/arena_debug <index>

Next steps

  • Combat — run a fight in the arena you just created.
  • Betting — open bets at the bookmaker.
