That brought back so many memories. Nice.

Hello all. Virus ain't got ya yet, eh?


12 year old me....

I was 7 years old....



Heh-heh. I was 37. Some people never grow old. :wink:

I only discovered MTM2 in 1999 and went online with it 1-year later when I finally acquired a lowly dial-up internet connection. That was the first PC ...

When I was getting slapped like that at the Zone was because I was on a slow PC on 33k baud dial-up and the other user I was rumbling with was on DSL or cable. I couldn't budge him, but I would take mystery hits because of and sent flying over the mountain ridge over and over. The difference in ...

For low pixel count modeling, that's very impressive. Kudos.

If you map some shaded texture on the rear cage textures you can give it a 3D look:

What I would do was map one very short piece of "tubing", duplicate and "stretch" to needed length and then re-use it ...

So I've tried doing it with both compatibility mode and run as admin ticked on, and it's still keeps crashing when trying to replace a texture. I'm afraid I can't texture anything without the irritating crashes.

The only thing that comes to mind would be the size of the textures?

I checked the MTMG site for light post models to give them a look over, but the page is gone. I had to use the Wayback archive site to find an intact copy of the page. The model download links appear to still be viable.

Discovered that by accident...

If you do not specify a folder to "unpack" the files into, then it will place them in the same folder as the .POD file.

The suggestion to convert to a lossless format like .BMP 24-bit, edit and then convert back sounds like a good one.

Make the game look any better and we may have to improve the visual quality of the track models... ;-)

Forgot I even had the other account. I haven't gone by "ZO" (Zone Outkasts) in ages. That was my old "Microsoft - The Zone" gaming team back at the beginning of the millennia. I haven't heard from ZO_Play, ZO_Hemi427 or any of the other guys in ages.

A lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time in the making.......

It's been such a great time in passing that all of your photo links are dead.

Here's some freshies..Looks like they ran it with some variations on roof lights: https://www.google.com/search?q=big+swede ...

Nice. How do they look in-game? It's been a long time for me.

It's been a LONNNNG time, and I was never a track maker. But I believe I recall that the invisible ramps had to be lowered. I do not recall how the height of the trucks were lowered in the track. I think Phineus made a convertor for stock tracks.

Looks like there are still traces of my old SMALL ...

Oh-No! Y2K+19 !!!

Peace to all, and may every one of you have a great holiday season. Hope you were good little boys and girls...

Heh-heh. I didn't notice the date when I posted.

I did 56 EVO2 trucks, with a number of them monsters. This is still my favorite custom monster truck:

But I did do some fairly accurate replicas too, like these:

My first visits to KC's started in 2001, when it looked like this (the road signs are the links to files): https://web.archive.org/web/20010413223048if_/http://vales.com:80/mtm/

That was when I first learned to download a custom truck and add it to my game. Man, that was exciting the first time it ...
