a different take on tools

Online POD Viewer — JSPod

Brief Description

A browser-based viewer for POD archives used by Terminal Reality games: Monster Truck Madness, Monster Truck Madness 2, Terminal Velocity, Fury3, Hellbender, Nocturne, 4×4 Evo, and others.

Since version 2.0 it is an editor as well: it creates, edits and saves POD1 and POD2 archives, with the feature set of the desktop tool KPod.

All decoding runs client-side. No server, no uploads, no install.

Furthermore, this viewer is still being worked on. Any feedback can be offered in the forum, here.

Limitations

Whenever you open a track from the website, you must use the full link like https://www.mtm2.com/tracks/exampletrack.zip.
Furthermore, make sure you note if you are on www.mtm2.com or mtm2.com. Due to internal security settings, the viewer will not open a truck if you mix and match the links. For example if you are on www.mtm2.com you have to use a truck link with www.mtm2.com, otherwise use mtm2.com etc.
