I am going to rename one of them like brutus2 for now so i can use both of them in the game at the same time. ( if that does not cause any probs with the truck makers)

Thanks

No problem, I run into those from time to time and rename the pods to avoid conflicts and to help identify whose is whose by inserting the authors initials to the pod name.

But if they both have the same .trk name as well, like Phin mentioned, then they cannot, or should not be mounted in your pod.ini at the same time or they'll confict in the game... ie, the one highest in the pod.ini list will overide the lower resulting in you only seeing one of the trucks in the game list..

Mine has the same trk name as the pod. I won't change it either.

I hate it when guys name their real vehicles, but Brutus is a stupid name my buddies came up with, so they just call it that. One of my friends was here when I finished it, so that's why it's named that way.

It's also been called that for 15 years, way before that other one was whipped up on a pc of any kind. If you want, you can have someone else change the names for you on either one, just don't distribute it online. I'm sure Slick would agree. I have nothing against people tweaking it some to make it work in their game, this stuff happens.

You can rename the .trk within the pod with the swiss-army knife of MTM2
