[[Image:Nutshell.png]] The Arena files tells the Game what Gametypes will be availaible for a given map and also provide the Longname for maps.

Let's look at the stock Arena bundled with the tools, the file ''CoDWaWmaps.arena'' is located here:

C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\raw\mp

Inside (extract):

<pre>
{
map "mp_airfield"
longname "MPUI_AIRFIELD"
loadname "MPUI_AIRFIELD_CAPS"
gametype "dm tdm sd sab dom koth twar war sur ctf"
}

{
map "mp_asylum"
longname "MPUI_ASYLUM"
loadname "MPUI_ASYLUM_CAPS"
gametype "dm tdm sd sab dom koth twar war sur ctf"
}
</pre>

You can see that for each MP map you have the following:

*map: Raw filename for the level
*longname: This is the Map name which will show when pressing ''Escape'' in-game
*loadname: This is the Map name which will show on the Map Loadscreen
*gametype: This is the list of gametypes included in the Level

[[Image:Information.png]] Note that the longname & loadname parameters are using Localized Strings in the above, you can simply put the name of the map without worrying about that.

Example for a custom Level MP called mp_example:

<pre>
{
map "mp_example"
longname "My Map Example"
loadname "MAP EXAMPLE"
gametype "dm tdm sd sab dom koth twar war sur ctf"
}
</pre>

For a custom Level/map you can create an ARENA file and place it in \usermaps\ along with your Fastfiles.
