Re: MTM1 Computer Opponents

When I was getting slapped like that at the Zone was because I was on a slow PC on 33k baud dial-up and the other user I was rumbling with was on DSL or cable. I couldn't budge him, but I would take mystery hits because of and sent flying over the mountain ridge over and over. The difference in ...

Re: New project...Mickey Thompson Stadium Off-Road trucks

For low pixel count modeling, that's very impressive. Kudos.

If you map some shaded texture on the rear cage textures you can give it a 3D look:

What I would do was map one very short piece of "tubing", duplicate and "stretch" to needed length and then re-use it ...

Re: BinEdit Keeps Crashing When Replacing Textures.

So I've tried doing it with both compatibility mode and run as admin ticked on, and it's still keeps crashing when trying to replace a texture. I'm afraid I can't texture anything without the irritating crashes.

The only thing that comes to mind would be the size of the textures?

Re: Working track lights

I checked the MTMG site for light post models to give them a look over, but the page is gone. I had to use the Wayback archive site to find an intact copy of the page. The model download links appear to still be viable.

If you do not specify a folder to "unpack" the files into, then it will place them in the same folder as the .POD file.

The suggestion to convert to a lossless format like .BMP 24-bit, edit and then convert back sounds like a good one.

Re: SEASON'S GREETINGS!

Forgot I even had the other account. I haven't gone by "ZO" (Zone Outkasts) in ages. That was my old "Microsoft - The Zone" gaming team back at the beginning of the millennia. I haven't heard from ZO_Play, ZO_Hemi427 or any of the other guys in ages.

Re: Small tires tracks

It's been a LONNNNG time, and I was never a track maker. But I believe I recall that the invisible ramps had to be lowered. I do not recall how the height of the trucks were lowered in the track. I think Phineus made a convertor for stock tracks.

Looks like there are still traces of my old SMALL ...

I did 56 EVO2 trucks, with a number of them monsters. This is still my favorite custom monster truck:
