SybilSixx66 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Alright, what all do I need to know about making trucks? I think I have some of the programs I'll need (Photoshop, Blender, Sketch-up, Do I need anything else?), What file type do I need to save the skins as, and how do I apply them to a truck? Just the basics, you know? Also, who do I need to talk to about getting a 2007-2010 silverado body and a PEI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfire215 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Never touch sketchup. First of all. If you have blender you have no need for it. There is a huge list on why you shouldn't use it on the official ror forums. You will need a tool called Ogre exporter for blender. This allows you to export the mesh and write material files for the object you are exporting. http://www.rigsofrods.com/wiki/pages/Blender_Mesh_Export_into_RoR That contains the info you will need for exporting. To get the mesh into game you will need to add it to a zip along with a truck file. A .truck file can be opened in wordpad,notepad, word. Pretty much any RTF editor. http://www.rigsofrods.com/wiki/pages/Truck_Description_File That link explains how to make a .truck file. More info can be found here.

liquidfire215 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Its about 25 mbs http://pdf.letworyinteractive.com/index.php I would suggest using this. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro It covers most anything you want in a much simpiler form.

SybilSixx66 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 I think I can handle Photoshop. My dad works at a newspaper office, and he's taught me a lot about it, though I don't know everything about it, and neither does my dad. Gimme a while and I'll try to dig up some of my MTM2 graphics.

SybilSixx66 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Here's one of my MTM2 paint jobs to give you an Idea: Oh Liquid, I tried that one because the others were giving me a migraine and that one is way easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SybilSixx66 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Alright, here's one: are there any RoR vehicles with a working light bar? You know, like a police light bar. (MAJOR hint) And if so, does anyone here know how to set one up, and where a model of one can be found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfire215 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I havent had the desire to work on a light bar but it is very possible. http://www.rigsofrods.com/wiki/pages/RoRBook/Flares That is a step by step guide if anyone is interested in doing them.

RKM Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Alright, here's one: are there any RoR vehicles with a working light bar? You know, like a police light bar. (MAJOR hint) And if so, does anyone here know how to set one up, and where a model of one can be found? It can be done in many different ways, I personally love the user controlled lights via CTRL+1,2,3 etc since it's virtually lag free compared to the normal M lights. Search around the main RoR forums for tow-trucks or firetrucks and you should be able to find some good examples. I need to learn a lot of things...
