  1. Last post is April 18th 2011 and has a negative rep? Yep you have been gone for a few years haha.

    This is how my ROR folder is laid out and I have rarely any issues with it:
    Download V4 and then unzip it here

    I generally add any important items like tires, sound scripts or popular trucks to that folder above since it is basically the base directory that ROR defaults to in order to find meshes and textures for trucks.

    Standalone trucks stay zipped and go here for me

    Tracks go zipped into terrains.
    Welcome back!

  2. Context of the original article (which was written in 2013) pertained to an disgruntled ex member on here that was directed to a previous admin and moderator (as someone who was minor staff at that time I got to witness all of it first hand). Anyone that knew or dealt with Oggy, he was an interesting character though had a pretty nasty habit of inserting his foot into his mouth. As for the accuracy of the copy pasta'd article, if things were still the way they were, there would be a helluva lot more members banned. be no member run leagues,  content would be handed around and never uploaded.

    None of those things listed are unique to this site, check out other racing communities. Different games but the same core issues, you cannot control what people do, say or act. Is Sim Monsters perfect? No, but where we are now vs where we were headed cannot be discredited.

  4. Good enough for me, as for the member title I believe it is related to either your post count or the age of your forum account on here before your allowed to change or edit it. Cannot remember which one off the top of my head.

  5. I have been called alot of things in my time on here but suckface is a new one. Enthusiasm is fine but please realize that there are quite a few members on here that are in the Monster Truck Industry or have really close ties to people that are. Just ease up on the gas pedal, look around and read a bit. Alot of this stuff has been covered already by people that are in the "know'.

  6. What are  you using for sound (speakers/headset) I used to have trouble hearing some of the add on sound scripts because alot of them are set to come through a centre speaker of a surround sound system.

  7. I might be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure that the bow ties are only features on CRD chassis. CRD makes the mount for them and they are bolt-on pieces that act as a crush point in case the truck takes a hard impact but also doesn't do any "actual" chassis damage. Main testimonial for that was EVO this year after Mikey's first backflip in Vegas:

    Na the bowtie has been on almost every single inhouse chassis since Adam's original Taz (which is what Carroll measured when he came up with his chassis). The biggest difference between the two for the bowtie is inhouse are tighter in terms of the gap between the main rail/secondary rail and being welded to those rails rather then being bolted on (there is a smaller piece of tubing that is inserted into the area of where they join up to center them and I suppose strengthen it). Would have to ask around as to why they are no longer adding them to the newest inhouse chassis's though. The original one that was spotted was Duhon's new piece but I assumed that it was left off to clear the zombies lower jaw since it moves (I know Bari's CRD had the bowtie off for a little while at the start of last year aswell).

    And I would rather have a COD themed truck then a Sonic or some other god aweful video game character...

  8. We had a few different ideas of integrating community work into the main truck pack. But the there are multiple layers to why we chose not to. The biggest one being that while the V4 stuff is by no means ultra detail, it's intention was being a platform for everyone. Could the trucks be more detailed? Of course. But be honest with yourself, when you first downloaded and tried the stuff on here, would you have stuck around knowing that you could not use any of it because of mediocre PC? Someone viewed it as worthwhile even if it meant excluding a future active community member/s. The next thing is who would be judge/jury/executioner on deciding on who's content was "good" enough to use or integrate into the truck pack. You can already see the drama from more then one person working on the same truck or track. I personally would not feel comfortable in deciding. The thing is that by having it the way we do, people have more choices and can decide what they want to download. It might not be a perfect system but it is the most accessible for everyone on here, even if it means sifting through a few pages of downloads.
