South Bend, Indiana 

Are you guys having a very tough year so far parts wise and breakage wise? Or is this normal ware and tear on trucks?

1 more thing I forgot.

Looking good with baking, it really makes the tracks look much better.  I'd recommend using an image about the size of your track to bake to.  On your El Paso track you used a square image (probably 1024x1024 or 2048x2048) when you could have used one 2048 in length and 1024 in height because that's closer to the actual size of the floor, just a tip that makes painting and putting down lines look a little better.

Hey erhminer how do you get it it look like that I always use the Face layout https://imgur.com/gallery/rczXF

When you have a new image ready to bake to, click "a" to select all of the faces you want to make to the image, and click "u" and select "project from view bounds" if the image size is proportional to the UV map size, and if its not (like the image you quoted) instead of selecting "project from view bounds" select "project from view" and scale the UV map up to where it can all fit on the image you're ready to bake to.

man if only i knew how to do dat stuff. that would be neat. but good job

Everything you need to know about modeling in blender to painting tracks and getting them in-game is all right here.  Watch it and try it yourself, be patient and it'll all make sense.

IIRC Feld/LN/CC at one point had a rule that there had to be more than one exit point. Thus why trucks like monster mutt had roof hatches because the windows were to small to crawl out of.  With a windshield I dont see two points of easy/quick exit. However based on some other trucks I assume this rule/requirement has been dropped. 

 

Assuming you're talking about Bounty, what else follows this logic?  

I'm honestly concerned that there's only one point of exit from what I can tell (the windshield) and the fact that power plant is so close to the drivers compartment.  Maybe that's just me being to concerned about what ifs...

With all these cool projects being worked on i thought i would finally finish this for @Chazzymp. As always @Chazzymp did a killer job at panting the truck.

That truck would look great at the Monster Mash track... 

This can only mean one thing

ok im working on a few 2017 throwdown tracks 

so just wanted to make sure we wernt making the same  track

 

As am I.  Hit my PM's.  Don't want to be working on the same things so we have two of a certain track

Tracks go into the Terrain folder in the Rigs of Rods folder wherever you downloaded it, vehicles (unless they're stand alone, which majority aren't) go into the packs folder inside the truck pack. Welcome aboard!

Yeah these are some great suggestions! I know the banners on the tower will work for sure, but the officials im going to have to expirement with, we'll see how it looks

Officials will work as long as you find decent images and erase everything around them.  Klayton did it for his WF 15 track and I've been messing around with them as well.

I was actually going to make a thread about this as I have just gotten my hands on a G27 as well.  If you could either post your current map or explain the process of mapping a wheel that would be greatly appreciated! 

I'm still on here!  I go way back to two weeks after the original RORMJ forum was created 

If you have the toolkit you can use the arrows to move the terrain up, but if not, open the .terrn file and change these numbers in red.

If you increase the number it will raise the mesh in-game, if you lower it it should lower the mesh

This is going to take a while... Planning on making a pack from 2007-present, but can't seem to find a 2002 f150 body. This is the "pre politics" version of the truck, and am till debating whether or not i'm going to make a "slinger" version of the truck.

The point of using a bake when you paint a truck is to give it the look of shadows within the body.  On whatever paint program you are using overlay the paint and decal layers onto the baked layer to give the paint shadows.

Love the independent trucks.  Great work everyone!

MOD

You've got the wrong shocks on both the front and rear, but I'm assuming it's still a w.i.p

Razin Kane #1 was built in house which is now the Xtermigator display truck but it is show ready, Roy Pridgen built chassis #2 which is the current Xtermigator, chassis #3 was built by Dan Patrick and is the current Razin Kane truck driven by Buddy Tompkins, chassis #4 was also a Dan Patrick build and is the current Ice Cream Man driven by Roy, and chassis #5 is currently being built by Off Road Innovations Central Florida and is said to be a new truck running with the current three in competition.
