Could you post the log file so I can figure out what's crashing your game?

Alright with NAMT being just under 2 months away from getting underway, I wanted to get this posted now so that you all can remember to get your trucks done in time. As a reminder you can check out the truck modification rules in the rule book or just read this post here: Here is a blank sign-up for everyone to follow: Driver: Truck: Discord: Hometown (Optional): Download Link: Truck Song (Optional): **Please try to pick a song that isn't commonly struck for copyright claims. A good means of checking is if there are unofficial videos already listed on YouTube. If we do not think we can use your song we will ask for another or use a copyright free song.** IF YOU DO NOT FILL THIS OUT PROPERLY, YOUR SIGN-UP WILL BE DELETED! A full list of sign-ups can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H6fYAvcg8DTJnSBH9IAmlmirykpT5GRWm1-evbmqBbE/edit#gid=1055101421 Any questions regarding sign-ups, rules, or the league in general can be asked in the Q&A thread here: SIGN-UPS WILL OPEN ON MAY 1ST, 2018 WHEN THE THREAD IS UNLOCKED! YOU CANNOT COMPETE UNLESS YOUR TRUCK HAS BEEN APPROVED. APPROVED TRUCKS WILL BE LISTED ON THE SIGN-UPS SHEET.

I am planning on running events on Sunday's.

The site as an unusable limit for file uploading to avoid using too much bandwidth. You can upload files to sites like imgur and copy the links into your posts.

V5 was cancelled way back in 2013 or so. The site's moved towards everyone making smaller projects these days. As far as unreleased content is concerned, some people don't send/release anything, and that's their business I suppose. Usually asking about or not releasing content just causes unnessecary drama which I choose to avoid.

Just a reminder to everyone to keep posts related to this year's World Finals and other World Finals in general. Also forums are for long post discussions, not quick replies like a chat room. You can have more than one thought in a single post, and there is an edit button for a reason. We are talking about monster trucks here aren't we? How about we all just relaz a bit and enjoy a nice discussion?

Thanks to everyone who came out. Had a fun time hosting. Saw some great racing and freestyle from many people I've never seen compete before. Congrats to Andrew Sheets for the racing win and Julio Vellon Jr. for the freestyle win. I did record everything from tonight's event, so expect a highlight video from Aaron and a full event video from Julio over the next week. Lastly here are the official results: # Drivers Trucks Q Time Lap 1 Time Lap 2 Time Discord DL Link 1 Andrew Sheets Mad Scientist 20.100 20.332 20.100 sheetan22#2530 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2230-vp-mad-scientist/ 2 Jon Zimmer Amsoil Shock Therapy 20.694 21.601 20.694 Cyber#8924 http://www.mediafire.com/file/86fye3m5aam89r6/AmsoilShockTherapyRed%20%282%29.zip 3 Julio Vellon Jr. Son-Uva Digger 20.832 21.015 20.832 Julio Vellon Jr.#0419 https://www.mediafire.com/file/ezmmdv1lzzi3tw4/SonUvaDigger2017.zip 4 Joey Burgy Rage 20.835 20.976 20.835 Joey 🅱#4846 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2378-rage/ 5 Josh Gajewski Saigon Shaker 20.885 21.561 20.885 Gajewski#1415 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2201-saigon-shaker-2016/ 6 Aaron Lurie Pirates Curse 20.933 21.108 20.933 Aaron Lurie#6907 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2426-pirates-curse/ 7 Marty Hussey Carolina Crusher 21.006 21.006 21.048 Marty#4247 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/1768-carolina-crusher-2015/ 8 Joshwa Tavarez Hooligan 21.066 21.541 21.066 Starksm8#4849 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/1932-hooligan/ 9 Michael Alford Northern Nightmare 21.118 22.291 21.118 Alford#8060 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2728-northern-nightmare-2017/ 10 Sean Ryan Gas Monkey Garage 21.274 21.274 21.295 SeanRyan#7918 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2242-gas-monkey-garage-2016/ 11 Zach Nicholas Grave Digger the Legend 21.383 21.593 21.383 XVolticxDragonX#5218 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2730-grave-digger-32-pack/ 12 Michael DesRoches Grave Digger 21.514 21.707 21.514 Roach#2764 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2835-mtm2-max-d-and-grave-digger/ 13 Chadwick Deerfoot Avenger 21.532 22.183 21.532 CMDeerfoot#5139 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2625-avenger-2017-avenger-world-finals-18-s10/ 14 Ryan McCauley Lucas Oil Crusader 21.609 21.609 21.979 KaeJun#3918 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/1892-lucas-oil-crusader-2015/ 15 Jackson Brammer Mutant Super Soda 22.126 22.280 22.126 Jackson#7500 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2627-monster-energy-mutants/ 16 Devin Doss Max D 22.363 22.363 99.999 Devin Doss ッ#1356 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2792-maximum-destruction-crd-v2/ 17 Ryan Glover Stone Crusher 24.163 24.545 24.163 Jetfighters73#5499 http://www.mediafire.com/file/2s5iwij93quye6y/stoner16.zip 18 Matthew Tyrrell Grave Digger 10000.000 LordFrosting#2849 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2392-grave-digger-xx-pack/ 19 Jack Merkle El Toro Loco 10000.000 Jack Merkle#9642 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/1682-el-toro-loco-2014-mcdonald/ 20 Blake Thompson Over Bored 10000.000 丫 卂 工 𠘨丅#8254 http://www.mediafire.com/file/nomuo16b4aaga13/OverBored2017.zip 21 Trevor Amos Soldier Fortune 10000.000 iMP4CT#2136 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2847-soldier-fortune-2018/ 22 Jack McCarthy Big Kahuna 10000.000 Jackattack29#2224 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2712-big-kahuna-2017/ 23 LeBeastActivated2018 Great Clips Mohawk Warrior 10000.000 LeBeastActivated2018#8238 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2801-great-clips-mhw-2018/ 24 Jose Garcia The Punisher 10000.000 Mr.JGarcia#8827 http://sim-monsters.com/files/file/2723-the-punisher/ # Drivers Trucks Overall Points Racing Points Freestyle Points Q Time R1 Times R2 Times R3 Times R4 Times Time Filled Air Momentum Technicality 1 Aaron Lurie Pirates Curse 83 40 43 20.694 21.127 21.250 21.366 57.419 19 7 9 8 2 Jon Zimmer Amsoil Shock Therapy 71 30 41 20.832 20.843 20.973 21.780 20 7 8 6 3 Andrew Sheets Mad Scientist 71 50 21 20.100 20.628 20.782 20.523 20.474 8 6 5 2 4 Julio Vellon Jr. Son-Uva Digger 67 20 47 20.885 22.123 22.081 20 9 9 9 5 Michael Alford Northern Nightmare 64 20 44 21.066 21.244 21.486 18 8 9 9 6 Marty Hussey Carolina Crusher 63 20 43 21.006 21.152 21.066 20 7 9 7 7 Ryan McCauley Lucas Oil Crusader 56 10 46 21.609 23.960 20 9 8 9 8 Joey Burgy Rage 56 20 36 20.933 21.665 21.052 15 7 6 8 9 Chadwick Deerfoot Avenger 54 10 44 21.532 22.078 20 8 8 8 10 Devin Doss Max D 53 10 43 22.363 99.999 20 7 8 8 11 Zach Nicholas Grave Digger the Legend 53 10 43 21.383 21.747 20 8 8 7 12 Sean Ryan Gas Monkey Garage 51 10 41 21.274 21.584 20 7 7 7 13 Joshwa Tavarez Hooligan 51 10 41 21.118 21.565 20 7 7 7 14 Josh Gajewski Saigon Shaker 42 30 12 20.835 21.118 21.055 21.142 3 3 3 3 15 Ryan Glover Stone Crusher 41 10 31 24.163 24.875 14 5 5 7 16 Jackson Brammer Mutant Super Soda 40 10 30 22.126 22.233 13 5 5 7 17 Michael DesRoches Grave Digger 28 10 18 21.514 22.197 8 3 3 4 Hope to have a few more of these before NAMT starts, so keep an eye out for more fun-runs!

Well, I haven't hosted anything in quite some time now, might as well get some practice in before NAMT debuts. Also noticed there isn't much in the way of racing going on with SMRA just finishing up a few weeks ago. Track: Atlanta 2016 FS1 by maxdman Track X: Rules: Any working V4 truck is legal to race (custom or replica), only one version of a truck per event (e.g. Grave Digger or Max D). Please be sure that your truck is working (preferably stand-alone if possible). Stock V4 settings are to be used in this event.

I'll take the honors of locking this before any more spaghetti comes out of your pockets...

You should definately release a .blend file of the stadium with all those props in the Scrapyard.

That looks pretty good from what I can see, can you just post another picture without the body?

As of right now, no. Unless there is an overwhelming amount of interest in allowing repli-customs, we will be entirely custom for NAMT. I'm hoping that everyone will be able to find a custom truck to run, either by revamping an older truck or by making a new custom entirely. There are a good amount of open customs on the site if you look around for them, I know @Double.D ッ has made a pack and a couple separate trucks that are open for anyone to use. I figure announcing this in January for a June start will allow everyone ample time to either get someone to make a truck for them or figure some way of getting a truck to run. If by the time the league is getting close, say mid-May, and you still don't have a ride, contact me and I will see what can be done. Yes we do have specific settings required to run. You can check them out in this thread here: Please be sure to read this and ask questions if you have any. Also, the sooner you get your truck to me to be approved the better. Remember you truck must be approved by the Saturday before a race in order to race that weeks event! This is going to be one open tour. Events will be qualify in, meaning you run two timed laps during the qualifying period, typically 2 hours before the race, and the fastest 16 drivers get into the event. There is no budget system for NAMT, the primary focus is on the driving on the track. So long as your truck is approved, you are free to try and run as many events as you please.

If you have questions or concerns about this league, a truck you are looking to run, a modification you want to double check, or anything else that relates to NAMT, go ahead and ask away. I will try to answer questions as quickly as possible. I'll edit this post to include some FAQ or other questions I find important enough to highlight. Ask away!

Alright, so in order to make these rules as clear as possible, I am posting an entire thread for people to ask questions about the rules for truck modifications. Along with the rules being listed in the rule book (which you can read here), here is the full section for truck modifications: NAMT is a fully custom league, limitations to customization are listed here. Truck modifications must be approved before racing. Truck files and .zip’s should be uploaded and emailed to northamericanmonstertrucks@gmail.com for approval. Once approved, you are allowed to compete. Trucks must be submitted for approval by midnight of the day before an event. Trucks must be entirely standalone when uploaded. Trucks will not be approved if files are missing. Truck sounds are required for approval. Modifications tutorials can be found here https://goo.gl/pV88ie and here http://sim-monsters.com/topic/9087-node-beam-editing-with-blender-249b/ Note: Not all modifications listed in this tutorial may be legal, be aware of what you are doing before making changes. Note: Rules pertaining to allowed changes listed in this tutorial are not official for NAMT, as they are old rules from SSRS. Truck file documentation can be found here: http://docs.rigsofrods.org/vehicle-creation/fileformat-truck/ Sections will be directly addressed based on their documented section title. Node/Beam modifications: Nodes/beams may only be modified from a base V4 truckfile, no nodes/beams may be added or deleted to or from the truck file unless otherwise stated. Nodes/beams may only be modified in order to more fit the shape of the chassis being used. Custom chassis are explained in the section below. Nodes such as shock nodes, four link nodes, and sway bar nodes may be kept at their stock position or moved closer to match the chassis shape. Truck files will be needing of approval before being allowed to race. Ask before you attempt to change something if you are not sure, ignorance is not an excuse. You may add or remove sway bars from your truck to better adjust handling. You may make front chassis nodes 16, 17, 35, and 36 non-contactable in order to better adjust handling. It is suggested you make flag nodes 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128 and,129 non-contactable to avoid awkward landings and rebounds. Any other possible edits to the node/beam are illegal and are a punishable offense. Truck File Modifications: Required modifiable sections: engine, engoption, torquecurve (replace with the following) engine 900.0, 2600.0, 8000.0, 6.10, 4.0, 10.00, 3.5, 1.8, -1.0 engoption 0.9, t, 5000.0, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 200, 800 torquecurve 900, 0.5 1000, 1.00 2000, 1.00 2500, 1.00 3000, 0.90 3500, 0.85 meshwheels (replace with the following): set_node_defaults -1, 1.4, -1, -1 meshwheels 0.84, 0.25, 0.25, 12, 73, 67, 9999, 1, 1, 24, 270.0, 225000.0, 250.0, r, (you do not have to change this).mesh, GravediggerBand 0.84, 0.25, 0.25, 12, 62, 72, 9999, 1, 1, 6, 270.0, 225000.0, 250.0, l, (you do not have to change this).mesh, GravediggerBand set_node_defaults -1, 1.8, -1, -1 0.84, 0.25, 0.25, 12, 48, 42, 9999, 1, 1, 29, 270.0, 225000.0, 250.0, r, (you do not have to change this).mesh, GravediggerBand 0.84, 0.25, 0.25, 12, 37, 47, 9999, 1, 1, 10, 270.0, 225000.0, 250.0, l, (you do not have to change this).mesh, GravediggerBand set_node_defaults -1, -1, -1 ,-1 commands2 (replace with following): commands2 55, 48, .40, .40, .88, 1.12, 2, 1, fci Rear_steering 0, 0, constant constant 0 1 47, 54, .40, .40, .88, 1.12, 2, 1, fci Rear_steering 0, 0, constant constant 0 1 47, 53, .40, .40, .88, 1.12, 1, 2, fci Rear_steering 0, 0, constant constant 0 1 56, 48, .40, .40, .88, 1.12, 1, 2, fci Rear_steering 0, 0, constant constant 0 1 Open modification sections: Title, Fileformatversion, Author, Description, Help, Comments, Fileinfo, disabledefaultsounds, Soundsources, Soundsources2, Cameras, Cinecam, Managedmaterials, Set_managedmaterials_options, Particles, Flares, Flares2, Materialflarebindings, Props, Flexbodies, Dashboard, Add_animation, Exhausts, Sections, Guisettings, Videocamera, and Extcamera Limited modification sections: meshwheels Only the mesh name and material may be modified. shocks2 Only the following may be modified (listed as #) shocks2 ;node1, node2, springin, dampin, progspringin, progdampin, springout, dampout, progspringout, progdampout, shortbound, longbound, precomp, options ;rear 22, 44, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, x, is 39, 4, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, x, is ;front 30, 69, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, x, is 11, 64, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, #, x, is x - precomp, node/beam is required to sit at rest such that the cradle is roughly parallel or higher than the four links.

Suggested range is between .75 - 1.0, but values may vary depending on your node beam. This is an optional modification for your truck, consider testing with and without it and decide for yourself if you want to use them. Excluded modification sections: All sections not listed in Required, Open, and Limited sections are not allowed to be added, changed, or removed if already in stock truck file. Custom Chassis: Custom chassis designs are allowed in NAMT, but must meet the following requirements: Chassis must follow modern tube chassis design. Leaf-sprung, cantilever, independent front suspension, independent rear suspension are not allowed for this league. Chassis designs may be denied under any circumstance.

As I usually do with leagues I host, I like to maintain a news and information thread that will offer you all a list of links to various information and content you could need that relates to NAMT. I will post updates here as we move along, but this thread will be locked at all times. If you have any questions there will be a Q&A thread posted that will allow you all to ask as many questions as you may need.

Well, there are still some open customs available on the site for download and use, some may be in need of updating though. Otherwise, I'm sure there are at least a few people who would be willing to help clone or skin.

Right now, no. If there's enough people who want to, we can. I'm looking to get everyone to make/use a truck all their own for this league, but nothing is in stone at the moment.

Welcome to North American Monster Trucks, NAMT. This is an all new league focused entirely around custom trucks and custom tracks. NAMT will be kicking off in June of this year for a 9 city tour across the United States ending at the first ever NAMT Grand Championship. More information will be released as the year moves forward, for now here is a quick rundown of the basic rules of this league: 8 Regular Season events and 1 Grand Championship event Regular Season events consist of 16 trucks, all racing and freestyling Events will be qualify-in only (fastest of two qualifying laps) Custom trucks only (more information to be posted soon) Looking forward to hosting NAMT this year, hopefully I will see many of you on the tour. Also, I’d suggest getting to work on a custom if you don’t have one already! You all have six months to get ready, so good luck!

So I made a custom paint for rFactor a few years ago: I felt like making a truck today, so I'm repainting and making a new version: More work to come, nice getting to make something again. Some stuff is from @rockgod88 's Chuck Werner El Toro Loco 2016, some stuff is older, and obviously the body and window netting is from @fernBurn. Didn't even expect to put this on a Wilman, but it fits perfectly. Also made my first pair of headers, like how they came out. And by the way, it seems that the Jeep hood nearly fits perfectly on the Max-D body.

Well I left this out to collect dust for a while, again. If I have some spare time I'll try to work on this again. I also gave @Mr. Beardman permissions to edit, so that someone can keep up when I inevitably forget about this again. If there is anyone else who would be interested in helping keep this up to date, send me a PM. If I think I can trust you, you'll get permissions to edit as well. Once again, here is the link (last updated 7/26/16): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LmVsxEdE8uOcu04xAjTP7QuiWCaQBLGiJjJ997FAtKk/edit#gid=760106793

When do sign-ups open for season 3?

So with the recent news of the Oakland Raiders soon moving to Las Vegas in the coming years, there seems to be heavy speculation that the UNLV Rebels will also be moving into the new stadium that is being built. The new stadium isn't being built on top of Sam Boyd, but that does raise the question, what happens to the stadium if the Rebels leave? Does the World Finals move out to somewhere else? Orlando is no longer an option to host the similar racing style with recent renovations. Will FELD buy a stadium just to maintain the legacy of the World Finals, or is this the beginning of a new World Finals for Monster Jam? http://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/oakland-raiders-may-share-their-stunning-new-las-vegas-stadium-with-unlv/
