Kmaster, Chevy SUV looks good in the viewer. None of the issues in the MTM preview window are there. However, I notice if you look through the front window, the inside door panel is invisible.

Website has been updated with the new tools, including all of Kmaster's new tools. The overall utilities page has been reorganized just a tad.

The truck viewer has been updated with Kmaster's latest work.

So, Kmaster's tool on github https://juanputrerasm.github.io/JSTruckViewer/ displays the Chevy SUV correctly, sans wheels and axles. It also has arrow key movement. The view on the truck page is where the screenshot from above came from. Just tried the one on the MTM2 trucks page this morning, after a browser cache refresh, and it still seems to be an older version. SUV displays the same (still wrong as above, but with wheels and axles), and no arrow movement. Just FYI.

Well, totally opposite experience for me. And it turns out the MTM2 version is not displaying the wheels anymore either. Will have to look into this. Also the MTM2 version seems to display the mesh window (when looking out the window) but not the door, whereas I can't get the door nor the window to display on Kmaster's site.

For another example, I also notice that the inward facing window shows from the outside on the GMC. I had used 0x33 when I should have used 0x41 on that face, but in game it looks correct from the outside.

I'll look into it at some point.

In the meantime I have done an overhaul of the MTMG pages again to make them more readable and add proper universal look between all of them. I really hope this is it for MTMG, it's the 3rd time I am working on these this year and it's a pain in the ass because there are A LOT of pages there. lol
I still need to go through at some point and add tutorials for the new features but eh... at some point. Was thinking if Rudee does videos, could also link to his videos too.

How-To videos within the likes of people like, RuDeE, Kmaster, and Cale, would be a godsend to today's age of MTM2, in fact, at some stage I want to return to, not just track making, but also try out truck making for the very first time, as I already have thought of some several concepts that I would like to do.

Of course, preferably videos, because I can only learn ever so better though visual motion learning, verbal learning is just about as useful to me as reading math questions through school. :oops:

I have also increased the font size on the trucks and tracks pages. There's plenty of headroom and increasing the font size didn't alter any of the existing table structures so it's a free win and makes it easier to see.

Rudee loves doing videos so that would be great :D

Truck viewer looks / works great now. Update finally kicked in for me, I guess. Also, it's awesome on mobile / touch screen.

Had to take a break from the AI Truck work today and updated the tourney pages. This was a long standing desire, which was to add ShadowPrincess' tournaments to the website. I have done all the races that I was able to find. I still need to go through the rumbles and add the ToC/CnR/RnR.

Also, for the truck/track pages I added a marker for the authors who now have a maker page (when you click on their name).

Just uploaded an Evo 2 conversion, originally by Team Death, and the track viewer does not display anything but the terrain. Hopefully the pod works!

Does Kmaster's version work? I haven't had time to update the mtm2 viewer with kmaster's latest updates. (though the track viewer is identical, it doesn't load from the same server so I have to keep up with his updates. The truckviewer is different as it has some additional coding).

I'll have to check in the morning. Will let you know.

Edit: Yes, it loads fine in his newest viewer on Github. Also, I forgot to mention his converter in my readme, doh!

I need to add a version number somewhere for the track viewer and the rest of the online tools. Yes, version up in mtm2.com is not up to date, you can tell right away because it has no test drive / sun / markers side panel

I have updated the site with the newest track and truck viewers. Also, the last 2-3 days the site has been clobbered again by chinese crawlers.

Kmaster, the truck viewer had a bug for the transparent windows/doors. Here's how to fix it.

So i tried fixing this but for me the truck shows up in the game as it shows up in the viewer!

Edit: It should be fixed now... maybe. I might have an older model than you which doesn't have the correct settings in binedit. Also as a side note: I added a bit of Fresnel look to the windows, so it now simulates the game a bit better. Can test it on your latest upload.

Viewers look good. Thank Fila.

Also, I noticed that the site was hard to reach this weekend. I was going to ask. Annoying that's still happening.

They crawled it differently than last time (this was basically something similar to a ddos) but with the changes that were already implemented this was faster to fix. Or attempted fix, we'll see how it holds.

It's fast right now, hoping it stays that way.

The fix against the crawlers seems to be holding up so far. No more slow downs since implementing it. No doubt they will come up with a new way to break the site :D
