[ARCHIVED] CRD Monster Truck Development Thread

Is there a way to prevent stuff like the monster truck becoming one with the crush car?

NOTE: The truck's wheels aren't actually going 66 MPH, the apps in BeamNG sometimes freeze when there's more than one car in a map. Don't know why that is.

 

hitting the ramp slower?

 

Nope. This is due to the game collision mechanics. Not something I can fix.

 

if anyone wants a tune, then here it is, this video should give you an idea of how it drives, I wanted my truck to drive in a similar manner that the real MaxD drives and I think I accomplished my goal

 

Thank you. This is MUCH appreciated.

All I hear is how "bad" the truck supposedly drives... How "slow" it is...

The default settings are PURPOSELY conservative/balanced, tuning options were included for this very reason... Yet no one uses them...

 

So how's everyone doing? How's the truck development coming along?

 

I'll be on vacation till the end of this week. Development just halted for a few days as a result.

 

have fun, you deserve it

 

Sounds good! I do have a problem as far as the controller bindings go; I set my rear steering controls for B and Y (for an Xbox 360 controller) and the rear steering doesn't budge. Would I have to set the G and H functions for the B and Y buttons as well?

 

Yes

 

how hard would it be to have an option to change rim color?

 

Rims are currently colored via PNG. idk what the process would be to have them be colorable in-game.

 

Simple enough, but colorable elements would require a thorough redesign of the skin system in place. Not worth it, IMO.

Not that I'm saying that this is a bad thing, but if I do happen to install this mod, will it conflict with the Legacy pack?

 

Try it out. I cant right now, but I am sure that it will

 

Should work ok, unless some skin names are conflicting.

 

And lets say if I wanted to change the PC files manually (seeing as how the menus are absolutely slow on my computer), would I have to change "CRD_linked_steering_R" to "CRD_independent_steering_R" or something equivalent?

Edit 8/24/17 7:40 PM - actually, can you help me change the default to independent steering without having to wait 2 minutes for the menus to open?

 

I have 300 mods installed and my menus load up in 10 seconds, if it takes 2 minutes something is up

 

It could be because apparently my computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for BeamNG, or it could be because I'm using a virtual machine. I did notice it would take a while, but I used the 2 minutes as like an example. If there is a map with a lot of cars on there, the menus and the UI itself would be really slow. Strangely enough, though, it took a while when I was on ATE Stadium. When I went to Grid Small Pure, it didn't take long.

 

Some maps that have a lot of materials on them take a little bit longer to load up, or its your computer. My computer (im on a laptop rn) takes like 15 seconds to load a vehicle, and its a windows 10 computer. About 50 mods I have installed. I would say its your computer, probably with your graphics card or something like that
