can i change my vote? 😂 decided 2010 era needs some love... i withdraw my all star vote lol

So iv'e made a bunch of "new" or updated chassis for some trucks for personal use (nothing crazy and worth publishing), and this has worked for many if not all the chassis/props ive made, as far as showing up in game properly. I recently worked on a new SUD chassis but am having trouble with it showing up; I followed the standard procedures: create all chassis in blender - texture - set smooth - edge split (all that fun stuff) - join - Ctrl + A -export with ogre mesh - convert with ogre - change file name in .truck file - replace .truck file. no matter what I try it doesn't want to show up so as of now my newest (and best) work is a floating steering wheel and flag, so help would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind i used the ogre mesh tool and a mesh appeared in the program. I would add pictures but Im not sure what use they would be.

Thanks,

Matt

Crushstation logo anyone?

1: the radiatiors are default size so IDK why ur saying there "oversized"
2: I didn't notice that after exporting

You can always just scale it down to fit your truck, you said it’s somewhat of a custom so it doesn’t have to match real life 100%

Just something @stimson122 and @Chazzymp @StarksDoesMonsterJam I have been working on not done yet. 

I love the amount of detail that has been put into this, new tranny, gauges, wires, etc along with the bad co logo on the engine. Awesome work and I love how you’re trying to add that “reflection” that the real truck has. Now If only the back sway bars and links were lined up....

Made something i've been wanting to make for a while will release when I get it cloned

I’d suggest changing the chassis to fit your needs. It’s obvious that it’s the gas monkey truck with custom props which is cool and stuff, but if you want a really good custom truck, I’d start from the ground up. If it helps I have this chassis with Fern’s updated props in blender and can do what you want with it. Just shoot me a pm and I can do chassis/blender work and get you a baked body while I’m at it.

if you need anymore track/stadium pics, just pm me

I have seen @rockgod88using his desktop applications and ror simultaneously (jumping back and forth) in order to edit trucks. I wasn't sure how to do this but I thought it might be helpful and wasn't sure if anyone knew how to do this. Heres the link for what im talking about:

I’m confused is this track coming out or something or is this one of those send out tracks where you just send the track to different people and not make it public 

The actual maker is re-publishing the original file. I just sent him the new zip with .4 files. Hope this helps

So I downloaded your file and saw it wasn’t .4 so I converted it and now it’s pending approval I don’t know what to do if your gonna do something about?

I converted it to .4, I had messaged him and he’s gonna update the file . I would take down yours just so we don’t have two of the same. He’s also fixing the weird banner glitch some people might having.

For the white textures, its most likely a missing png, so try to put fiberglass.png in the zip, as for the gun, the only way to do that is do put into blender, and remove it there.

Well, besides the default V4 folder, I have the zipped vehicles placed inside of that. I'm not sure if that should be the way to do it, but I found that doing that in 0.39 lead to them loading up perfectly fine and whatnot.

If that works for you then go for it, what I do is put the v4 pack in the packs folder and then the other truck zips in the vehicles folder. I load a smv4 truck then load whatever your want, this ensures that my truck doesn’t crash the game and “loads” correctly. Now some zips obviously won’t have all the textures and whatnot so I just go back and place the files into whatever your trying to fix. Only (minor) issue is that if you have a mesh or png or something with the same name in a new truck as in an smv4 truck, it will override whatever your trying to load as the second truck. But again, it’s whatever works for you

How do you put your trucks in game specifically? (such as extracting all files, individual zips. etc.) Procedures for fixing stuff can vary on how you put your trucks in

But as fun as making paints are so far, I'd really like to expand out more and learn to put together trucks, If anyone would like to give me tips or hell even let me watch you put together a truck, Id appreciate it a bunch. Long post Over.

The firestorms DEFINITELY look better but there are some minor things that should be fixed (especially on the Vegas one) . I can PM you pics if you want so you can get the best possible truck. Also it might just be me but on the “hydraulics” on ES body should be silver at the end, rather than just all black. Also ES use black limit straps, not yellow

Its good to see im starting 2018 off well

I use both .38 and .4 so I can see both sides here. I keep my truck and terrain files in their own zips s nothing overlaps. As for black texturing, ive never really had a problem with that as long as I have the -spec files. As far as i know, the only issue ive had recently is the Fuel and Power pump box being black (minor issue). For my opinion, Id stick with the .material files. Also if you ever need anything tested in .4 to make sure everything goes as (textured) id be happy to help. 

little bit better, new chassis coming soon

I don't think I'm ever gonna be content with how it looks. Added skyline and stuff to spruce things up, will be pushed back in game (right now it's just that close because the depth on Blender is gay). Any suggestions of cool details to add? I'm open. Probably gonna mess around with things for another week and then export.

If you make the vendor people selling the churros I’ll write you a poem

Yes i know its the wrong chassis, and body, etc. but i figured I might try my hand at painting, still not done but any thoughts? Recommendations?

Anyone happen to have a bulldozer and bad news logo like Blaise used?

does anybody have a overboard logo?

Making some attempts to make my screenshots for syp to not be so ass like my old ones. So why not test out some screenshots with projects I've touched up with recently.

Projects are looking nice! Might want to put some updated props on nitro. earth shaker has a small chrome bar connecting the black bar to the rest of the body, might want to include that. Just a heads up it would be nice to have a pic of the whole truck in case more changes needed to be made
