[ARCHIVED] CRD Monster Truck Development Thread

Can the truck get a slight increase in power in the next update because it is very hard to clear jumps. Or maybe better acceleration?

 

i think quite a bit of power is lost in the powertrain atm, planetaries have a friction of 50Nm and differentials 10Nm, now i haven't tried the newest release because of limited Internet but the version I have is long geared by default. ive been messing around a bit with the drivetrain and got it to do one and a half backflip with some tweaks, most of the tweaks i do I never get to the point of sharing and usually stay private for some reason, I'm gonna blame my limited mobile Internet its quite demotivating. I really hope we get Fibre optic installed next month

oh and you can tune the supercharger in the tuning menu and get the power up to 2000hp

 

what you can do is shorten the gear ratios, then lengthen the planetaries gears. this gives the same amount of speed, while at the same time giving some extra kick to clear jumps.

 

This is being changed in the next update.

Current planetary setup is a bit rushed, barely tested hotfix to implement Goosah's suggestion.

 

remember that super chromed out version of the f150 you did forever ago? well now there's fully chromed out hotwheels versions to celebrate monster jam's 25th anniversary! you predicted the future

finally upgraded my computer! and by upgrade, i mean it's almost completely different. the only things that are the same from the old one are the graphics card and old ssd. i plan on swapping out the gtx to an amd vega card once they come out. specs for new system in signature for those who are interested.

 

anything new to show?

 

Not much. Most of the development time is going in the CRD... I'm making working gauges right now.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to break the Spiked Max-D body to pieces... in a way that makes some sense... and JBeaming the new CRD 2.0.

 

and i'm having issues with my pack. don't really know why it's not showing up.

 

What's the matter?

Fails to show in the parts selector? Doesn't show anything in game? Breaks the truck?

I'll check it out when I get home.

 

doesn't show in the parts selector.

Code:

{
"CRD_skin_BigfootClassic":{
    "information":{
    "authors":"",
    "name":"Classic Bigfoot",
    },
    "slotType":"skin_TrophyTruck_body",
    "globalSkin":"BigfootClassic",
},

"CRD_skin_Outlaw":{
    "information":{
    "authors":"",
    "name":"Outlaw",
    },
    "slotType":"skin_TrophyTruck_body",
    "globalSkin":"Outlaw",
},
}

 

JBeam is formally correct.

Likely just a packing issue.

 

packed the same way @HumanTarget 's pack is so it shouldn't be.

 

Works for me. By the way... Classic Bigfoot is clashing a bit with the official skin with the same name.

 

funny, it isn't showing up at all for me. cleared cache and......still nothing.

Nevermind. conflicted with my old packs that i didn't take out
--- Post updated ---
and @acapaldi would you be able to sort out the classic BF skin please (bigfoot logo in the groove on the doors). all i have is paint.net so i can't necessarily get it right.

 

Right like so? Gave it a bake too, that'll give you an idea of where the logos fall on the body

 

thank you so much

 

Why not put in the download again?

 

can't wait to see them working gauges and that spiked max D.

 

Same thing
