METALCR2.ACT doesn't really have the correct colors to do the metallic graphics on the 1993-1995 Taurus accurately, but I'm finding compromises and erring on the side of it being more colorful so it pops in game better. Wheels need some work and I need to do the proper shocks, but this is further ...

Thank you, sir!

This should be the one! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Oa0XxLOHsxeSkEZvyAah8Da6h3yDUCXx/view?usp=drive_link

And oh, BTW...

If you upload the fixed version I can remove the other one from the site.
Thanks, remove it now and I can upload it when I fix a few other things with it ...

Cale cooks once again!!!

Although, how come the Red Snake Bite hasn't made the pod, unless it's going to be a standalone release yeah?

Also, I was expecting to see some other trucks get graphical overhauls too, Power Wheels, Overkill, Carolina Crusher (two sides of the truck don't match with each ...

what exactly is failing in C-POD?

It launches but doesn't appear - shows up in Alt-Tab but can't switch to it.

No, I do these for my own edification. The red Snake Bite is a few years old already at this point.

I figured out what's wrong! Like I said, Windows 11 finally broke my C-POD install, so I've been using BinEdit 2.2.8's Pod creator...which automatically Podzips out those 3 files, and you can't uncheck it! Maybe I can merge the files elsewhere, it will wait until this evening.

Sadly, that doesn't work either, other than giving me a "unable to open model" error upon startup. I figured copying something over from a newer game over to an older game wouldn't quite work in the same way anyway.

Maybe try this and put it in the top of your pod.ini in your MTM1 folder?
How ...

Hmmm...I went over the LST one more time and repodded - maybe this one will work? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Is9Qck ... sp=sharing

Maybe try restoring the old truck.pod, open the game so you know that works, then try again with the new file.

Did I mention I'm on paternity leave? My brain's a bit wonky right now. Try it now: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dZi-_J ... sp=sharing

Try this one - I added in the missing files and it should be correct now: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dZi-_J ... drive_link

Then I'll re-check the pod tonight. Thanks.

A question, will you ever make more replica trucks for MTM1, Cale? I would love to see more.

EDIT: I can't get your MTM1 Truck Expansion work in MTM1. I replace the original TRUCK.POD with your new TRUCK.POD in "system" folder using cowpod, when I open up the game and the error pops up and it says ...

The pack is now available for Monster Truck Madness 1 at http://www.mtm2.com/MTM2/Trucks/trucks.php?search=MTM+1

It should work fine if you follow the instructions in the readme, but if you have issues reach out. I've tried it on multiple installs with no issues.

The latest Windows update broke C-Pod somehow, so it was a bit of a struggle using BinEdit 2.2.8's pod tools to get these in game, but I did it. The stock Bigfoot, Wildfoot, Grave Digger, and Snake Bite have been replaced with the updated artwork (and, for Snake Bite, getting rid of the misshapen KC ...

Trying a different set of treads which I might roll out to all of the stock trucks. Gotta see how it looks in game first. Thoughts?

I'll start with this, I've made more progress since this point but you can see where I'm heading. I can use the Nitemare sound files from MTM2 even though this is a completely different Nitemare truck.

Looks like it's something with the overall domain of the site, since I'm having to log in each and every time I visit now.

Some tweaks left, but a truck that should have been in both games from the outset
