Open your configurator, go to the settings tab, then render system. 

Change the render system from OpenGL to Direct3D9.

Out of every version of ROR, 0.39 is the most flawed. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a freecam in that version.

It isn't even funny how many people have tried signing up for King Krunch even though its taken. Plus Aaron, are these videos going up on YouTube or just streaming?

The original person who signed up for King Krunch changed their truck to Bounty Hunter shortly after, so King Krunch goes to Jack McCarthy

Videos will be on Youtube, no streaming.

Don't worry about the texture issues or driver cars sections of the spreadsheet. That's just for preparation on our side to make the videos look good.

I use RoR .4.0.7, i used it in SMRA and it works just fine, can i stick with it?

You should be fine using it, but from what I understand, the multiplayer on 0.4.6 is more stable, so if you crash from the game and can't make it back in time, that's on you.

I made this to help explain the process. 

Step 1 is coping an unedited section of the material file

Step 2 is pasting it over a section with a spec map

Step 3 is renaming the new section to what it says at the top.

Didn't you say if that happens you have to remove a file or something?

If there is a texture issue, it's most likely because of spec maps in the material files. I've gone through and redone all the material files to the way they were before spec maps were added. It's simple to do, just copy an unedited section of the material file, replace the section that has a spec map and rename the texture.png.

To avoid confusion, the texture issues column on the spreadsheet is so that I can make note of what needs to be fixed so everyone's truck looks good on video. The link to the truck do not have any fixed textures or tires. You'll have to fix those for yourself.

Is Discord safe?

We've been using Discord for probably a year now and nobody has had any problem. If your antivirus or windows firewall is saying it's unsafe, ignore it.

This mini series will have similar rules to many other events and leagues previously ran on Sim-Monsters. I'm going to go over the basic rules now so that we don't run into problems later during the events. 

First off, everyone is going to need this version of Rigs of Rods (Version 0.4.6).
http://anotherfoxguy.com/RigsofRods/Rigs-of-Rods-0.4.6.exe

If you already have a version of 0.4 (ex. 0.4.5), please instill this new version. It will update your game, but not remove any of your trucks or tracks.

Next, in terms of communication, I would like everyone that doesn't have the older version of AIM to download AIM from here:
https://www.aim.com/legacydownloads

We may or may not use it for event chats, but it's helpful if I need to get a hold of you for something.

We will most likely be using Discord for event chats, you can download that here:
https://discordapp.com/download

You will need to make an account to connect to servers. When it's time for the event, you will receive an invitation for the Discord server.

In the event chat, you will receive server info to connect to the Rigs of Rods server. You will need to open your configurator and located the network tab at the top. 

The IP you receive goes in the server host name box and the port goes in the server port number box.

Make sure you have the Enable Network Mode box checked in the top left before you try to join a server.

General rules:

When in the group chat, keep the language clean and don't post links to anything unless instructed by one of the staff members. The chat needs to be as uncluttered as possible people can see when they are called into game.
When you are called into game, you will have 1 minute to spawn your truck. If you join game but crash out, you will have an extra minute to attempt to rejoin and spawn your truck. If you fail to join after those 2 minutes, the race will either be a bye run for your opponent, or in freestyle, you won't be allowed to freestyle. 
Please join game with your real name, or if you aren't comfortable with that, your sim-monsters username. The events are recorded and since the name tags are on, I don't want anything inappropriate or random as your name tag. You will be kicked from the server if you have an inappropriate name tag.
Please make sure your truck and track work before you join game for your first race. There will be a 10 minute time period before the event where you can make sure the server works. 
Lane choice will be given to the first person lined up in that lane, so if you really want a certain lane, you better be prepared to rush ingame and get it. Any complaining pertaining to lane choice will get you kicked out of the server.

When both racers are lined up, and official will say "Ready up". Do not ready up until an official says to.
Freestyle will be 90 second runs, no bonus time. Please try to be somewhat realistic as RII's will be like they were in the 2016 Monster Jam season. Going off the track will result in an RII if you aren't under control. If you see RII in the chat, stop your truck immediately and wait for the officials to make a call. Any use of acceleration after an RII is called will result in the run being over.

How the events will work:

Sign ups for each event will open the Monday before the event at 8:00 PM EST. At that point, the field of trucks becomes a first come first serve basis. This mini series will not be a points series, instead, there will be winners each week and that's it, no points. The only people locked into events are the racing and freestyle winners from the previous week. The final event at Las Vegas is not a World Finals, the only people that will be locked into that one are all the winners from the previous events, the rest of the field will be sign ups. The qualifying order will be random, but lane choice will be the first person to get to the lane ingame. The freestyle order will be based off of your racing performance. 

More information will be coming soon, but this is all you need to know for now.

Any questions, post below.

Okay, one last thing: do we have to have AIM?

Yes, a link to the proper version of AIM is in the sign ups thread.

Sign ups open July 2nd at 2:00 PM EST

You must pick a replica truck that has run in at least 2 competitions between 2015 and present day.  

Only 1 Grave Digger and 1 Max D, any Grave Digger or Max D is fine as long as they aren't world finals schemes

When you pick a truck, I would highly suggest that you make sure everything works correctly in 0.4.6 before you sign up in the truck. 

If you need to make changes to your truck, you have until July 8th at 12:00 midnight to post a working link to your truck in this thread. 

You can sign up for trucks that were made for 0.37, but note that some textures may not work. It is easy to fix those textures, so don't just give up on the truck.

If you need help fixing something, you can message me on AIM at MJFanatic3.

How do you download .4.6? and can you still have .4.5 while having .4.6?

You can download it here:

http://anotherfoxguy.com/RigsofRods/Rigs-of-Rods-0.4.6.exe

I wouldn't recommend having 0.4.5 and 0.4.6 at the same time since they are the same except 4.6 is more stable. If you install that exe, it will update your game but keep all your terrains and vehicles.

1.The latest version I currently have is 0.4.5.1. What changes have been made in 0.4.6?

2. ANY truck made for 0.37 is compatible with 0.4?

0.4.6 has a more stable multiplayer, it's easy to update and it saves all of your tracks and vehicles.

All 0.37 trucks should work for 0.4. Some textures don't work, but that can be solved by removing the spec maps from the material files.

Are we allowed to run world finals paints at Vegas on 8/5?

Yes, you can run World Finals paints at Vegas. Right now, the plan is probably that the top 6 from the season are locked in to Vegas and the rest can qualify in.

1 minute ago, MasonThompson said:

So if you changed your trucks settings to run in SMRA, you should probably change them back?

 

Yes, if you plan to run the same truck as SMRA, change the settings back to what they originally were.

Yeah, you can run paints that were ran in the regular season, you just can run special world finals paints.

Anyone can run, new or old. That's why i'm trying to stay away from qualifying in, so everyone has a chance to race no matter what their skill is.

For a truck to run any promoter means any official monster truck show that isn't just a display. The truck has to have raced or freestyled in at least 2 events. Examples of promoters would be Monster Jam, Monster Truck Throwdown, Checkered Flag Productions, KSR, etc. Anyone that puts on monster truck shows.
