    Show your Diggers Chapter 52

    I was gonna do 10 but I have no experience in chassis building. I'm sure Blaise could whip it out better than me anyway. c:

    Not trying to start anything, but 1) It's called Show Your Diggers, not Show Anything Besides Your Diggers. I know the name can be changed, but 2) Like Jack Merkle said to me, it's a free forum site, so why should people be restricted to no Digger posting?

    This movement clearly hasn't gotten anywhere to but a few people.

    (this is not a direct response to you, but rather a reflection as a whole)

    For what it's worth, when people build projects, they are (for the most part) building what they want to. They make what they want, they release what they want. If Blaise wants to build all of the Diggers in the universe, nobody has the right to stop him. The whole "Show Your Diggers" forum title is more or less a parody of what, apparently, people like to make. Sure, as a fan of this game, it's not the most entertaining thing in the world to go onto this forum and see only Diggers, but I, nor anyone else has any right to change that through other people. Learn to make your own content if it bothers you enough.

    0.4.6 Truck Fixes

    in Help and Support

    Posted

    Hey all, so 0.37 trucks work on 0.4.6 perfectly well, just a few texture issues, such as excessively dark/light shades, some completely black or white meshes, or other things of the sort. If anyone has any tips as to how to fix that, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

    The evolution of the Monster Trucks

    in Monster Trucks

    Posted

    I also think it's pretty interesting to watch the definition of "monster truck" change over the years. In the 80's and 90's, "monster" leaned more on the "giant", or "leviathan" side of things, whereas today, the "monster" in the name is more applicable to the "strange", "exotic" or "novel". They're not even really true trucks anymore (those street-legal things), they're Monster Jam trucks, which is what Monster Jam has started calling them. Sure, some of that is due to name branding and whatever, but it's also because they've realized how much they've evolved, and that the same name almost isn't appropriate. It's a completely different animal nowadays. Just my two cents.

    Hey guys, today (8/10) I finally got Counter Strike Global Offensive and was just wondering if anyone else here played it at all and/or would have any tips for a newbie getting into it. Thanks in advance!

    I also redid the paint on mine. After Chuck's I might do my own version of Marc's

    Looks good, although if you could somehow make it so it looks like you didn't just rescale the original body that'd be cool, I'm pretty sure the mold is almost entirely different for Werner's Toro. Here are a few pictures to help you out.

    Well BC i can.

    *snip*

    Looks pretty decent, the treads on the tires are pretty massive, although I assume that's pretty difficult to fix. The body also stands out pretty obnoxiously, along with the green on the wheels. They should be more of a sleek, darker green as seen below.

    Kids these days are raised with self-idolatry burned into their craniums, it's getting to the point where the best any of the people who produce content can do is ignore them.

    I understand people have lifes, but u dont have to take a PC Game seriously when it comes to creations, i do however have my opinions like i clearly stated before

    Everyone takes pride in what they create, not just in this field. Whether they want their creations to be released to the public is their choice, and you should be thankful for when you have the privilege to use said creations.

    im not trying to come off as a jerk here, but how can u not expect someone to ask you how something is going project wise if u shown it off it off in a forum, then get pissed off about it, if u want something u created to be private then dont post pictures of it my OPINION!

    Once again, it is in fact possible to show projects for constructive criticism and not post it for free, contrary to your beliefs.

    Todd LeDuc substituted for Tyler Menninga in Madrid. As of the time I'm posting this, I don't think there is any footage that features just himself.

    According to results, he killed it big time.

    He's been driving Blue Thunder for the overseas shows this entire time, something about a lack of sponsorship for the Mulisha truck or whatever.

    Ill be real here, these trucks arent what you are used to seeing out of me. They have a good amount of pieces missing, stuff not aligned, and ugly textures. In all honesty, i have little to no interest in building trucks anymore, so my content on here will fade out after these next couple releases. Actually the last truck i actually took time to care about was Blue Thunder (Release coming soon-ish) Well, with that said, these Diggers wont be my normal standard of quality you are used to seeing on my trucks, but they can still get the job done. Good thing it's only virtual game......Max- D's are fixed up better tho. #PaxtonPosse.

    My jaw is somewhere on the floor, give me a few days to find it

    Unfortunately we're still at the time where backflip>anything else 

    Scott did his backflip in regulation, which immediately made the judges consider it a winning run. Same goes for Dennis's run, with the somersault right out of the gate, two of the judges gave him 10s even though the rest of the regulation run was mediocre at best.

    Looks like he almost clipped El Toro

    Actually he did, the wheelie bar on the truck clipped the horn, it's hard to see in most of the videos but it's there.
