[ARCHIVED] CRD Monster Truck Development Thread

When it comes to Firestones, I used this as a reference for weight.

The mesh we have looks only moderately shaved, so I went for a weight around 460kgs for the complete wheel (rim + tire), which is still a rather conservative value if Bigfoot's spec sheet is anything to go by.

 

full speed in reverse?

 

Yep, reverse ratio is equal to 1st gear.

 

the more i look at the new powertrain system, the more I think it'll make this mod better......realist transmission blowups lol

also, the dummy tree that will replace our current system may end up being RWD only.

 

Download for Bigfoot updated, now featuring Firestone tires.

mind if i update my pack with the firestones? if so, would i be able to just put the wheel Jbeam in the file for it to be selectable?

 

You'll need to modify the Jbeam for the parts not to interfere with each others.

As for releasing them, they're going in the main mod together with the Goodyears and Ukraines in a couple of days, so a separate pack is kinda redundant.

 

but i can use the Json file to make them use Firestones right?

and would it be possible to get transport tires soon?

 

Nope, you'll need meshes, textures and a Jbeam for the part.

They'll be available as a selectable part soon, so no to separate packs.

 

so what do i need to do for the pack to use firestones? since they're releasing in a few days with the update, i'll wait to update my pack till they're available

and who created bigfoot hotwheels?

 

If it's a pack for the main mod, you'll just need to update the configuration file (.PC) to use Firestones instead of BKTs.

Skin packs for Bigfoot will use Firestones either way.

 

Alright i talked to RoRseris and he said he did not paint the yellow ETL. So i think what happend was Devin sent it to him for an RoR project too.

Also could we get bigfoot in the main pack please? Same with firestones

Oh and i have different Bigfoot Fiberwerx bodys i could probably bring over here, 18, 21 maybe others

 

i have a pack with Bigfoot Hotwheels, Bigfoot classic, Outlaw, Bigfoot Power Wheels and my own Scrapfoot. would reupload but waiting on Mark's permission for the power wheels

 

Awesome, thanks, go ahead, I'll gladly include it (19 would be ideal, as it's on CRD). As for tires, they're almost ready for deployment (all of them). Probably going up in the next few hours, as soon as I return home. Testing the possibility of a separate slot for tires, instead of whole new wheels.

I'd rather keep Bigfoot 10 as a separate vehicle, being an inaccurate/fantasy replica, but I'll take your idea into consideration.

 

it can be done with base game vehicles so you can do it.

and this is where my pack comes into play

 

Yes, I know, but doing it with this wheel is a tad more difficult. It also implies a full rewrite of the pressureWheels code to take the separation into account.

Good, if you remove the body files and make it into a skin pack instead, the body could go straight into the main mod. I could also make a separable front clip in time for the next public release.

 

i can do that. what paint job will you be using?

 

The one the body came with, Hot Wheels I believe it's called.

 

and still, when you remove the front wheels, it breaks the truck

 

I'll check it out.

I'm literally turning the new suspension system upside down, step by step. It's cool, but still bugged as hell, even after a couple extensive overhauls...
