Re: Best original tracks & trucks?

A lot of Cale's trucks that he made over the years consist of the usage of the USHRA (United States Hot Rod Association) logo and branding, an organising body most famous for hosting Monster Truck events all over the United States before the Monster Jam rebranding that we know of today.

Also ...

Re: OpenMTM2 - An online, open source implementation of MTM2

Yay! Back in business again, albeit without gamepad bindings to shift gears.

It works surprisingly well input wise, never had a crash and roll over as a result yet, so I'm glad the analog is there.

Rumble isn't a dealbreaker for me that much, particularly how MTM2 #CP3's rumble might still use ...

Re: OpenMTM2 - An online, open source implementation of MTM2


Main priorities:

Minor graphical improvements: major graphics overhauls will probably be handled by other devs.
Full Evo 1 & 2 support: Vegetation, selectable Evo 1/2 physics (in case you want to drive your monster truck like an RC car :lol:), properly functioning Evo vehicles, 4x4 modes, and ...

Dear lord, had to look this up, Max 20x is literally $200 a month, no wonder things have been slow.

Re: HD Backdrops

Funny enough, I was going to mention at some stage how Yeastman's MTM2 tracks don't seem to react all that well with HD backdrops, so that's why. :lol:

Re: HD Backdrops

I'm probably more concerned about HD terrain textures than I am with the stock MTM1 backdrops, the only problem is how TRI addon tracks (Sierra Logging Run, Snowy Canyon, A Crazier Eight, and King Of The Hill) as well as other user made tracks utilizing the same coded design palette from those TRI ...

Re: AI work still ongoing

Claude working wonders as it should. :)

That being said, in regards to the rework of Truck AI, would it be possible to make them fully aware of your presence and distance? So they're not continuously crashing into you with little to no respect whatsoever. The AI trucks right now have the mentality ...

Re: Community Patch #3


Just uploaded OOPS's Deja Voodoo conversion to the tracks page. There is an issue where the AI fall through the collision boxes for the bridges. I'm guessing it's because the collision box overlaps with the non-collision bridge and the game is prioritizing them incorrectly for the AI. I have not ...

Re: JSTrackViewer - Online 3D track viewer

Test drive works decent, yet surprisingly well, and heck, those test drive physics, though not perfect, I can kind of imagine what my wishlist idea of a physics setting within the Garage menu of MTM2 would look like in that similar fashion. From Classic Circuit/Rally physics, to more modern and ...

Re: HD Backdrops

MTM1 tracks with the HD Backdrops and Color/Lighting looks the most stunning to me thus far.

Could we somehow see the stock MTM1 tracks given the HD treatment within terrain textures as well? I would love to see it.

Re: OOPS;) Terramar Speedway Beta

Just another thing I've noticed when having EVO convert tracks conflict with native MTM tracks in the texture department...

Tracks with Arena Backdrops (Torture Pit, Arena Rumble, MTM1 Stadiums, etc) don't seem to be affected by the, what RuDeE described, the terrain normal map effect. This just so ...

Re: JSTrackViewer - Online 3D track viewer

Ok... Now the community is cookin' here!

Would this test drive mode somehow be able to mimic MTM2's physics/driving model as well? It's probably easier said than done, but would be interesting to see nonetheless.

Re: OOPS;) Terramar Speedway Beta

I've played through this track, which is a fun one mind you, only to notice that after starting a race with an EVO convert track, quit race/finish race, then jump on to some native MTM1/MTM2 track, is when this washed up textures bug comes into a effect.

MTM2's Crazy 98 before starting a race with ...

Re: Evo to MTM2 Track converter

Thought I'd fire up Baja Beach for something new to do with this patch, non-collide objects aside, it works reasonably well, apart from the fact that it mainly runs on 30FPS throughout the whole drive, except for some strange reason, it's 60FPS on RaceCam view?
