Your song choice 

Boston has always given me great Peace of Mind.  

There is a code that you can put in the material file and rename to the spec paint, and it should show up. However most use managedmaterials, you create an empty section in the. truck file, and type in managedmaterials, you then copy the name of the material you want to have the spec, and paste it under the managedmaterials line in the .truck file. Now with a space you type mesh_standard, another space, the name of the regular texture, another space, and then the name of the spec texture. 

material
{
    technique
    {
        pass
        {
            diffuse vertexcolour
            texture_unit
            {
                texture exampleoftexture.png
            }
        }
    }
}
 

^ This is what the . material file will look like.

managedmaterials

SOLID/TEX/exampleoftexture.png/VertCol mesh_standard exampleoftexture.png thespecversionexampletexture.png

^ And that's what it should look like in the .truck file. 

Once you have the .truck file with the correct data, you can try running the game with that section of line still in the original material file, but if it doesn't work, you will need to delete those set of lines out of the material file, unless you want to take everything in the material file, and use it with managedmaterials. You don't have to have the material file to just have a normal texture either, you can texture normal meshes without a spec map, you would just leave off the name of the spec texture, since you wouldn't have one. 

It would look like this, sticking to the above example:

managedmaterials

SOLID/TEX/exampleoftexture.png/VertCol mesh_standard exampleoftexture.png

^ And that would work just like a material file works.

Have the same controller, and have been through the same process, haha. After plugging it into a different USB, it recognized again for me. 

No no, you have to drag the mesh into the converter, and that spits out the XML. Trying to open the program does nothing. 

Engine needs to move back quite a bit. Headers can't go through chassis tubing.

Haven't tried it yet but many thanks for the info Jon.I'll be knee deep in truck files if anyone needs me...   lol

No problem. I forgot to mention that trucks with coil over shocks, like on the Maximum Destruction's, are pretty bad frame rate killers as well to older computers, so I would definitely remove those.

i've been using v4 zipped and placed in packs for a while on .38 and .37 with no real issues,i read on SM somewhere that I should unzip into vehicles.Since doing that i get trucks with crooked paint jobs or no sounds.Was i wrong to unzip or wrong for putting them in vehicles section? 

Edit:  Only reason i was changing is because I can't get most of the individually DL'd trucks to work.

Once you extract the zip into vehicles you have to delete the zip from packs, and clear and regen the cache in the advanced tab in the RoR configurator.

For $1400 I would hope that it's more than just "decent". If it's some special deal where you have to turn in your other computer to get it without any monetary compensation, then I guess that's a different story, but you can build a beast of a machine for $1400 that would way out perform a pre built that is purchased at a store at the same price.

240p YouTube video quality is 240p YouTube video quality, bro.

I don't have work tomorrow, and don't really have anything planned, so if you need any help, I will probably be around.

Thanks. Now I can post some of my projects I've done.

Occasionally you may run into the problem of the image not showing up when pasting it into the text window, and if that happens, hit the button in the bottom right corner above the Submit post button, and you can manually insert an image by using "Insert Image from URL".

Oh god.. OH NO.... OH SHIIIIII....

I can swear i saw 2!

Also it's 2001 :3

 

It counted as the 2001 season, but this and the season opener in Houston happened in the fall and winter of 2000. The first show that actually happened in 2001 wasn't until St. Louis. 

It's one, but I will admit that I'm very silly/picky with Motor Madness tracks.

50 is big thing

Isn't it?

 

This is not a big deal, but Minneapolis 2000 only had one turning pole for the racing course. But it looks great Edy.

Is there any Dirt textures on this site?

 

This is a definite go-to if you decide to get into painting it.

You have to texture it to see it in-game?

Yes. When you generate a new plain, it has never had a previous texture, so it won't even show up untextured ingame.

I just noticed some problems with the truck:

engine and other parts are white
windshield and others are white

 

I didn't try to make it stand-alone, it's because those textures aren't in the zip; Extract it into your V4, and delete the zip.

I've got it in game, but only the cars show up, The ground I put them on and the 'dirt' part to the jump are not there.

You have to select the jumps and ground and unwrap them, and texture them.
