No, the deadline is tonight at midnight. I may have just posted the time incorrectly. Everyone has until the end of today to upload their truck to the site with the correct settings.

So way back in 2015 I painted a truck for rFactor: Then I turned it into a truck in 2018: To which I never finished and procrastinated for another 2 years... Until: @Wambo did an excellent job on the headers. @fernBurn made the window netting and original body that really only remains in the hood, as I remodeled the back half and edited the hood. @Double.D ッ gave me most of these beautiful photos of the truck as well. So after nearly 5 years of sitting on this design, I'll finally have a new custom truck to use, Speed Energy, which will be making its debut in the All Star Challenge.

Please be sure you have the following settings on your truck for the event. If you are using a truck that is not your own, check for yourself and let us know. globals 5000, 0.0, tracks/trans engine 950.0, 2600.0, 11500.0, 4.30, 5.00, 10.00, 3.06, 2.13, -1.0 engoption 1, c, 5000.0, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 300, 800, 0.3, 0.0 torquecurve turbogas brakes 42000

The last time we brought a special event to Sim-Monsters, it was every driver for themselves. This time around we're changing things up! We will be hosting the first annual All Star Challenge, a brand new event format pinning two teams against each other in racing and freestyle competition across 3 weeks of competitive action. Team captains Mark Colineri and myself will draft two teams to do battle at a refurbished 4Corners Coliseum over 3 events. So be sure to sign-up and get ready to battle it out and determine which team is better! Event Rules and Format: Replicas, Repli-customs, and Customs are allowed. ALL TRUCKS MUST BE UPLOADED TO THE SITE. Sign-ups will close before the first event, at which time Mark and myself will draft the competitors onto two teams. For each event, the fastest 12 people from each team will get into the event (12 fast from Team Mark and 12 fastest from Team Danny). Racing will consist of a series of matchups across up to 4 rounds. Round 1: #1 Qualifier for Team Mark vs #1 Qualifier for Team Danny #2 Qualifier for Team Mark vs #2 Qualifier for Team Danny etc. Everyone who wins their race will earn 1 point for their team and move into the next round. For example, if #1 from Team Mark wins and #2 from Team Danny, the next round would start with these two people racing. If there are too many people from one team to make an even number of races in the next round, the slowest drivers on that team will be removed, earning bonus points to that team. For each extra driver a team has after a round is 1 point times the round number (e.g. 3 left over after finishing round 2 is 6 points) This will continue until one team is eliminated. Racing will not be a matter of being the last man standing, but a matter of earning the most points for your team. Freestyle will be 2 minutes, no restrictions to realism. Further rules will be explained before each event. Points will be earned towards each team through the place each driver finishes in the field (e.g. winner earns 24 points, 2nd earns 23 points, etc.). After all 3 events, the team with the most wins will be the winner. MVP Awards will be awarded to the drivers who earn the most points for their team.

Well, I would first suggest downloading the most recent version of the game (2020.01). https://www.rigsofrods.org/download The newest version of the game adds a path in "Documents\My Games\Rigs of Rods". You would then add terrains and vehicles into the subfolder "Mods" inside the "Rigs of Rods" folder. If you have any issues, I would post the RoR.log file that is located in the "logs" folder in your "Rigs of Rods" folder. The log file is a plain text file you can open with Notepad.

Haven't used this tutorial myself, but it does explain track making in a newer version of Blender. I can't promise more tutorials, but I would like to make a new one sometime in the future. Also the Rigs of Rods site itself explains how to import any mesh, so that would generally cover how to import a stadium. https://docs.rigsofrods.org/tools-tutorials/blender-mesh-editing/

I want to thank you all for a great showing tonight, we had 35 people qualify and about as many watching on the stream. Hope to do another special in the near future, but in the meantime I would like to congratulate @Andrew for winning racing and @Vincent Akard for winning freestyle. Hope you guys had as much fun as we did!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BhsZtqew4Z_uiGUZHNRnmiOPq3Gnq9fTF-RhzJQ6Vlo/edit#gid=1149643550 You need to pick 1 truck. Look at the list and pick one that isn't taken and is available for download on the site. You need to provide the username and discord number, not just the number.

This is a reminder that if you are hosting or competing in a fun run, league event, or special event that is hosted on Sim-Monsters you are expected to follow the same rules as the forum when posting in the Discord for the event. We do not want to deal with inappropriate or otherwise rule breaking activities going on during events. Appropriate action will be taken if necessary, up to and including issuing bans. If you see something that you think goes against the rule of the site, pass it along to the moderation team for us to review. Hosting and competing in events on the site is a privilege, not a right, and we will revoke access if needed.

You still need to pick which Avenger specifically you are using, currently Avenger Chrome, Avenger Fire Custom, Avenger Retro V2, and Avenger World Finals 20 are taken.

Recently, the community has started to make use of Rigs of Rods race scripts to allow tracks to record lap times. This feature is useful since it will post your lap time to https://forum.rigsofrods.org/multiplayer/races. However a more useful way to use this is for league events. This tutorial will NOT explain how to set up a server to receive lap times, but I will explain how to send your times to a server that is already set up. 1. Go to the Rigs of Rods 0.4 folder in your Documents folder. This is the same folder you go to when you add mods to the game. 2. Go to the config folder inside the Rigs of Rods 0.4 folder. 3. Open the file RoR.cfg with a text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, etc.), and find the line that says Online API URL=http://api.rigsofrods.org in the RoR.cfg file. 4. Replace http://api.rigsofrods.org with a provided ip address and port (something like http://12.34.56.78:1234) and save the file. ***THIS IS AN EXAMPLE IP ADDRESS AND PORT! IT WILL NOT WORK IF YOU TRY IT!*** 5. Open Rigs of Rods and go to Settings -> General -> Disable online api. Be sure that this is NOT enabled, it should look just like it does in the image below. This setting, when set correctly, will send your race times to the website we changed in the RoR.cfg file. 6. To check that this is working, run a lap on a track with a race timer. After you complete a lap open the Console by pressing the ~ key above the TAB key on your keyboard. Check for a line that says [RoR|GameScript] Submitting race results to 'http://12.34.56.78:1234/races'. To go back to posting your times to the Rigs of Rods website, change what we did in the RoR.cfg to http://api.rigsofrods.org. IMPORTANT NOTES! 1. Depending on the server you are told to use, it may only work for sending race times. This means your multiplayer server list will not load. If you have a custom API URL set up and cannot load the multiplayer server this, this is why. You can still connect over Direct IP. You will need to change the URL back to the default if you want to view the multiplayer server list. 2. Be sure that the API URL you place in your RoR.cfg file does not end in a backslash (/). As you can see in the Console in the last image, whatever URL you provide will add "/races" to the end. If you enter a URL as http://12.34.56.78:1234/ the races will not be reported as the link in the console will say http://12.34.56.78:1234//races. The double backslash (//) before races is not a valid address. 3. Do not directly send RoR.cfg files to others. This will allow them to see your user token, which allows them to impersonate you on multiplayer servers. This is very important, not only for normal players, but those with admin privileges on multiplayer servers.

You need to specify which Avenger you are running, as there are a few different schemes already being used. You also need to post your Discord username.

Be sure to edit your .truck file so your truck doesn't stall. You can follow this tutorial, respond to the thread or message me if you have any questions.

Currently, most all trucks being used on 0.4.8+ stall when idling for less than a minute. In order to fix this issue, we need to edit the .truck file. Following these steps should make this process as simple as possible. 1. Pick the truck you wish to fix and copy its .truck file somewhere outside its .zip file. 2. Open the .truck file in a text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, etc.) and locate the engoption section. 3. Change the entire engoption section with the following: engoption 1, c, 5000.0, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 300, 800, 0.3, 0.0 4. Save the .truck file and place it into the .zip for the truck. 5. The truck should not stall when left idling now. Credit to Treevus for providing the changes to the engoption.
