Locking.

Easily one of the smartest things MJ has done in a while. Agreed. Kind of shameful ,the budget cuts rolled out In episodes 2018-present.

Lots of talk that the Monster Jam season is over entirely. Layoffs don’t necessarily mean those employees are gone forever, and many companies have told workers that they will be rehired as soon as business resumes. Unfortunately, it does not appear that FELD employees were told anything of this sorts but many drivers seem optimistic that they will return. 

It is interesting to think about, because what happens to the current standings? I see that the show in Ford Field will be held in July (supposedly) . Maybe the points tour will be extended into next season.

I wonder if any other big stadium shows will be rescheduled. Particularly the Sam Boyd Stadium one - They have to reschedule it before the end of June when the UNLV contract is up.

There is a channel called Fox Sports Racing... Maybe only on Rogers. They broadcast all monster Jam shows at the same time they are released on Fox Sports 1 in the US.

As for the archived episodes, there were a few youtube channels that I've seen with old TV footage with terrible quality.

the 2001 recap show was posted on one channel. 

the 2002 series was posted on a different channel.

the 2003 series didn't exist.

2004-2006 and some 2007 episodes were posted all on one channel (dont know if mods allow Youtube links)

2008-2016 TV episodes are nowhere to be found on youtube.

There are some episodes from 2009-2012 on hulu, but I cant watch it in Canada.

I've been using 4.5 ever since it was first released as a stable version, it is definitely the most advanced ROR made. V4 trucks do work fine for me on it, but some spec maps are messed up, along with textures not rendering on trucks.

I'd really hate to aggravate things, but MillerGD, I would look more into actually cloning a truck. I looked in the file, and all that is actually edited from Johan's (ACDCFan56's) Max-D is just a painted over body. There is no exported body mesh or any editing done to the truck file. There are tutorials for this in the designated section.

I did try to put out some content for a while, but school just caught up with me. In fact I do have a lot of stuff I finished, but have already been made by other users by the time I wanted to upload them. After making Minny '08 pretty accurately, I was inspired to start making basic replica tracks (I'm a fan of replicas), but after having terrible issues just before releasing the track made me discouraged.

Welp, just dusted off my old T-maxx 2.5, recently got back into the hobby. Made a few upgrades to this since last driving it in 2011 including differential spools, a higher volume double stage air filter, and probably going to upgrade to the 3.3 engine in a month or so aswell. Also, these things chew up glow plugs way too fast lol.

Douglas and Ken Stout. Scott will always be there and he's great and all, but Ken Stout knew what he was talking about without being constantly annoying.

Linsey Weenk has not won a championship since first driving in 2006(?). But then there's Marc McDonald who has not won a championship since first driving in 2005.

I gotta say Marc McDonald and Linsey Weenk should both be the next winners. Probably Marc in racing and Linsey in freestyle or racing.

So, I think on the 10th, Monster jam battlegrounds was released on Xbox 360 (Only) and by the looks of the trailer, Gamemill has not made much of a change to their physics, graphics and so on. I personally don't have the game myself, nor an xbox 360 (XB1), so I was wondering if anyone has played it yet, and if anybody has any opinions about it. At least in my opinion, it's a clone of the IOS game they released back in January.

Trailer:

Oh its Minny 08. First ever MJ show I watched on TV.

Uppydate. 

Yes I'm using the RORMJ avenger. Also, yes, the loader is non-textured for some odd reason.

Yeah, the turns are supposed to be that weird. I triple checked the photos at different angles. Thanks for the support Danny.

Introducing MAXIMUM GOLD-DIGGER-BERG-BIG-GRAVE-FOOT

Brass Beastie I'm guessing? (Can't quite make out words on the nose)

Ok, thanks. Appreciate it. Sorry for not getting back in a while, yes that was part of the problem, its solved now.

I remember a bunch of Minneapolis tracks having the giant cake slices... maybe Minny 07?

So, I started working on the Spiked-Red Max-D 3 days ago, but I looked through the SYP thread today (I haven't been on lately) and saw Johan's, so I figured I may as well show this because it is still a project, but most likely will not be finished.

Anyways, the truck is maybe around 90 % done.

So, I've been trying 2 nights to get a truck working in RoR, and managedmaterials have not been very nice.

After I exported the truck from blender (chassis and body together as one mesh) I borrowed the managedmaterial "codes" from another truck, and simply replaced the names of the textures, (and spectacular textures) with the names of my new textures. Then, I hopped into the material file, and got rid of all the lines containing textures that I had already placed in the managedmaterials lines (Again, I'm still trying to teach myself the most as possible about managedmaterials). Then, I hopped into RoR, and everything on the truck was white EXCEPT for the shocks, axles, lights and sponsor panels. I even tried clearing and regenerating the cache, and still no luck.

My main question is:

Why is almost every texture I used and added in blender white, even though they are all in the .zip file?

I truly stopped 'collecting' around 2013, but I got all the limited edition trucks. 

Both of the addons of this year and 2014 are sh*t in my opinion (even though they're meant for kids, they're still cheesy). I gotta agree with TruckGuy, in 2010 when the trucks came with the flags was definitely the best. My 2nd choice would probably be 2012, where they came with the collector's cards (at least in Canada, where the trucks now come with nothing).

Andrew, your modeling has grown to be one of the best on the site. Awesome job.

Actually it's a rhino   or could be a narwal too, but no, no to unicorn.

 

To be honest that's.... a very lame paint.... i don't know it just looks too flat

It needs a giant face on it, TO   BE   LIKE   EVERY   OTHER   TRUCK.
