great. I made a large amphitheater arena for sparring with prisoners with training weapons with 0 damage. There are seats for spectators, and on the upper floor there are shops with various food

LET THE BATTLE BEGINS

Hi! Can I take your mods for my overhaul mod SLOFK? I will indicate you in the credits, or if desired, I can add you to the authors.

this is perfect, I was always looking for a pit to throw bodies into, thanks!!

Hi, can I use your work in my project?) If I already asked, I'm sorry, I'm just updating the lists and if you saw this message, it means I couldn't find permission or refusal.

@khimmalgura it doesn't seem like there is a way to fix the problem :(

hello author, first of all thank you for the great mod and the effort you put in it. I have a problem, see your arena does not come with doors so I decided to add one with Shift+F12 menu, but the door is simply stays there, not interactable. do you have a soluyion for this?

hi , any chance that someone can make a mod of an arena that can train u'r team in it fighing eachother or even prison some powerfull NPC's from the game after u pick'em to this arena , also if it can be upgraded by levels and also host fight day that get u'r outpost some money that would be nice , just an idea

Dude just go into the in game editor and place a gate from the door tab, it's easy.

Always thought that Kenshi engine could make a perfect Colloseum-style Gladiator game..

Please do your best! I expect very much

For anyone wondering, no this arena does nothing. It's basically just a sand pit, there are no gates to shut so it's not useful for fighting prisoners. Basically just a decoration.

Does this allow you to fight other members your faction? For training?

Would it be possible to make prisoners fight each other? I don't think the proper tools are there for it

I literally just had the idea to make a gladiator arena for prisoners, this is perfect and makes it easy for me!

Thank you for this amazing mod that I have included in "Kenshi: The World Divided". This Mod Collection has been fully tested and works perfectly. Thank you again for the great mod to add to this collection. Timesplitter.

um i like it but does it do anything

A tiny tip when 3d modeling, don't leave edges as they are, always give them a slight bevel. You'll get much more realistic buildings and items that way.

There are no perfect edges in reality.

Anyway great job. I'm gonna use this.

@lemurian sadly, i dont think the mechanics are in place for something like that. I would love to make seige equipment, but i think the only way we'd really be able to do that is to make them "animals".

Buildings don't really enjoy doing the whole moving thing in kenshi. Edit mode is a perfect example of this. if you move a building in edit mode, it usually takes a minute for the navmesh to update and sometimes even requires a ctrl+shift+f11 to correct it.

Animals are out of my league atm, and there would be a bit of work involved in making a trebuchet animal, figuring out how to make it fire a projectile object with collision would be tough.

Maybe not though, idk. Someone with better knowledge of how races and animals work might be able to figure this one out. I'll stick to static stuff for the moment :P

@Sir Luis I'm always all ears for idears. Just made a discussion for ya, go ahead and drop your ideas in there (or see if i already plan on doing something like you have in mind)

For the folks that want to learn mah sekrits, come to the Discord (the one featured on the Kenshi Wiki) I'm usually around the modding channels somewhere.

imagine trebuchets in kenshi

llama bomb would u be willing to make other types of building? if yes can i shoot ideas your way?

finally, I just been using walls to make an arena

Great job man. I would love to make custom buildings in kenshi. I do work in blender was this a hard task?

Is there a gladiator Mod so I can make a living

Now this is an excellent idea. Well done.

to make a living as a gladiator would be very cool

Glad it's out :) Cheers !

@Roque Yes it does! the center part of the arena (the sand part with brazier) is exterior exposed (like a roof floor), but anywhere there is stone floor is an interior, protecting characters from the elements.

Interior objects are placeable throughout, however the top floor is still very buggy and only allows objects that lay flush with the ground (sitting pillow, sleepingbag).

The wall leading seperating the center arena from the interior also has a reduced collision, so you can practically build INTO the wall on the interior side, allowing for bench placements much more flush with the wall than in vanilla buildings.

I had plans to put a cage like the upper floor on the non ramp side of floor 0, but decided against it. Plan to release the cage as a snappable addition... once i get snap points working on floor 0

Hello sir, does the arena protect against the elements of the enviroment? can I place shops inside, maybe "rehabilitation" devices in the center? can we turn it into a bazaar?

muhahahahahah

@drivestoofast i've got some other ideas for the instadeath mechanic, but i don't want to spoil it. Plus i haven't tested any of them yet so idek if my idea is going to work, but something like you mentioned is def a fall back if what i have in mind turns out to be as complicated as these doors

@Lhamabomb I can't wait until part 2! love the concept so far,

I'm definitely going to use this to torture/train/recruit prisoners. I love the idea of these being near the cities and having bartenders and crowds there to cheer on the depravity of forced violence.

The instadeath thing you mention, I have an idea...

Use a peeler, or a burning pyre, a furnace, a meat grinder, a spike pit, etc, etc. Place it/them out in the middle and let the victorious warriors dispose of their unconscious foes.

This thing maybe?

I know just how much work you put into this. It was a ride seeing you get it working. Congrats!

The building itself looks pretty good! thank you for uploading this, man! :)

@dfaroda that's phase two :D, just gotta finish working out the bugs with the gates. once i have those in place, i'm gonna work on the actual gladiator bit.

The plan is to have 4 arenas, One in the great desert for UC, One in the Outlands for the Reavers, One in Shek territory, and small fightpit outside the hub for HN outlaws and the various bandits in borderzone.

The concept i have in mind is: At the start, you'll be able to go into any of the four arenas, choose a squad v. squad match up and place bets on who you think will win.

Once you build an outpost within range of one of the arenas and fend off a raid, you'll be eligible for arena fights. Winning fights will earn you prizes depending on the arena. It comes with serious risk, though...
So the battles don't drag on forever, there will be a "deathclock" mechanic for any characters that get picked up by their opponent and placed in the "kill zone" restraints. If they don't escape or get rescued in time, instadeath

When you finish this concept you should totally implement it into some kind of quest//area mod. so you can visit an arena in game (perhaps slavers throw slaves to fight to the death) or you fight for honor pride, and get rewarded cats/materials or good weapons/armor. to perhaps even go further. become the host (when you have an arena it lets npc's stop and either take part in the arena/buy tickets) I feel like Arena's should be apart of kenshi because it fits. captured holy land/united soldiers fighting against each other? so many things could be done with this.

TWO MEN ENTER

I use machine translation
Thank you for your response. Even if a character enters and then builds a crossfire, the phenomenon is repeated that the character gets attracted to the center and can not move or can not enter the arena. I also tried to build the arena from the beginning. I tried not to use the edit mode but it was useless. But I love the arena!

also, i'm messing around with node attachments right now, i might have a more permenant solution soon, i think i figured out a lot of the issues i was having during dev, so keep an eye out for an update soonish

Known Bugs:

-Before placing the corpse fire in the arena, make sure a charater has entered the building. I think this is more or less an issue with using edit mode to place it during testing.

If I set up a crossfire, how can I enter the arena building? I can not enter

lol @aidymaster tbf, the mod is a little over 24 hours old, so don't take it too hard you're just finding it :D

I've been dueling a Sand Ninja prisoner with my main to 35 defense...now I find this mod...

@french_toast when i get around to working on the stage two of this mod, i have plans to make a smaller "fight pit". don't really want to scale this as some of the meshes are already fairly compact (the upper floor).

This.

This gives me ideas. Awful, evil, lore-appropriate ideas.

Man very nice work ! Would it be possible to scale it down ? Making a "small arena" ? a few trapped hungry bandits don't need so much space to beat my recruits

No worries, hopefully you can get the gates working and it'd be perfect, always wanted an actual arena to be the centre piece of a fortress. \o/

комиссар Iskuu thanks, totally forgot, been spending so much time in edit mode i forgot to put the requirements in >.< I had them all set up in FCS, but i did catch a field i missed for the building part, just pushed a fix for that, so you helped me 2-fold. Thanks again!!!
