Well, I have kept this thing pretty much under wraps for the time it took me to construct everything, which was a little more than a week. I had a real urge to make an old school truck come to life in a modern day setting. Excaliber was the first truck that popped into my head. The original body is DiggerFan's, I made it a single cab. The chassis started out as a Concussion which I heavily re-worked to my liking. I made new shocks, new axles, lined up and re-sized all the 4-link bars and sway bars. I tried to keep the old school feel while staying with the modern design of trucks.

 

Holy moly! That looks wicked!

Well...

 

 

I guess its something.

Looks amazing! Alot better looking then the previous Silverado model that was ripped from MJ:POD.

The physics are ok, but it does leave a little to be desired, especially if the trucks going too fast then it just gets caught up on the cars (if only the ride height was higher), and if you nose dive it, it just doesn't rebound very well. The suspension feels it has little resistance and bounce, and that bothers me a lot, not to mention the sounds could use some work (it sound like a motorcycle engine). Overall its not downright terrible, but it feels too arcade-like for me and just not worth the 742,014 in-game credits needed to purchase it.

got a little bored

 

a HUGE improvement over the V4 hummer body. So much better.

I'd say update the paint a bit (mainly add some blue tint to the end of the flames, and update the sponsor logos)

not to mention the updated cradle

That reminds me, i gotta dig thru my binedit files to see what old projects i can dig up.

so uh not entirely sure why I ended up doing this, where its going or how it will end but I guess Crippler needs to have a teammate/enemy.

I could see a remake of Scott "Razorbear" Bergman War Machine 2009 Truck out of this.

I'm trying to put some of Beau's sounds from his sound pack into individual trucks, but when i run the trucks in-game, the trucks are absent of engine sound. i tried clear and regen cache, but still nothing. I tried copy and pasting the soundsources into place, and even typed them in letter for letter, but to no avail. here's the soundsources section from one of the the .truck file i modified:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
soundsources

98, Zoomies
98, MonsterStarter
98, Monsterreverse
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
any ideas?

EDIT: Got the sound to work, thanks to Beau4x4. If anyone wants to delect this topic, they can.

My name is Aaron, and its a pleasure to be finally here! Many years ago back in 2001, i pick up my copy of MTM2 and had a blast with it. unfortunately, my childhood passed me by and i lost my copy. Around 2007, i started searching for a copy on eBay and struck gold, getting to play that old game again, Then i discovered the amazing content from MTM2.com and got hooked on some of the best quality truck of that era, and for a while, i started making my own personal truck. sadly though, around 2012, with overall interest being lost in the MTM2 community, i moved on, as my old projects gathered dust on my desktop and never got released. Then i got my fix in early 2013 when i heard that the virtual monster truck experience was still going strong in the form of rigs of rods, which i had played before on my old tower computer before it fried itself. I watched the development of the ROR monster truck community and it has defiantly come a long ways. I plan on trying to get things rolling again, learn how to create some content and help support the community in anyway i can. I hope to be welcome among your ranks.
