Here's a tool I made that will look into Continuum's memory and output a config file with all of the arena settings that are sent to a client. You can use this to duplicate an arena for local testing.
I never finished developing this to support automatically grabbing the map and arena name, but you can manually get the map from Continuum's zones folder.
You can download the exe under the Releases section on the side. It needs to run as administrator to be able to look at Continuum's memory.

Nice
There was an old program that tried to do the same thing, but it ran really slow and crashed quite often.

Is it possible to rip more than just the basic settings? like the arena .conf files and bots and such?

Bots are not stored in your system memory. Level and lvz files can be found in your zones file folder.
Not sure if any of the additional .conf settings are stored in your system's memory or not, but I'd assume not since some are kind of ASSS/module specific.

This can only grab the data necessary for the client to play the game. The server doesn't send that type of data down.
If you're talking about Trench Wars, you could try looking into an old build of
twcore, but I think that doesn't have the public arena bot so it's not very useful.
There's also the
arenas repository that has a bunch of config files for different arenas.

Thank you so much for the replies. I have found the mervbot somewhere, and attempted to follow the tutorial for it, but I get lost extremely quickly. put some .dlls in changed to localhost,...but i got nothing in there. So, I probably cannot get this running as it used to be without some major help. Just want the flag timer and the basic bots around in order to go to base and all that queuing up stuff in there, and then to do the teams uneven type this to switch freq,..bla bla. all the standard stuff. Just no idea how to actually implement it once the files are in place. I've spent over quite some time editing .cfg of twcore and the mervbot, and just have no idea how to connect it all to actually show up in my zone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. PM is fine. I just want to get the classic pub and base going.

I have my server running locally just fine. I can log in and fly around. There's a flag in the basic pub map I managed to configure to load up. I'm specifically trying to figure out how to have the standard bots running in there, and the bot that point to twbd and run the basing. Also, trying to figure out why when i add the permanent arenas to the globalconf file that only one arena (twbd) actually loads the map, even though the other two are pointing to the correct maps. But I feel like I've hi-jacked this post now a bit. Sorry. I need like ELI5 direction. Or someone who is kind enough to set it up for me and i can just drag n drop everything to the appropriate folders.
