Nice work on your first custom truck. It drives nice, and looks cool.

Couple of things need attention though....

1. You repainted some of the scrapyard part textures, but did not give them new names (body and axle models and textures).

Whenever you make changes to a pre-existing model or texture, be it from a scrapyard or stripped from anothe truck, you should give it new model and texture filenames to prevent conflicts with other trucks.

2. Your own name is missing from the credit file ;-)

Hate to bring up old topics....

but just had to tell ya i dug this up and completed the haystack pyramid. It was actually very easy now that i have worked with binedit for a little over 5 months. Im going to try to make a square or something here soon. Eventually im going to do what crazyman just did and make a track outta models i made.

> i think the url changed but who knows.

The "info" names were supposed to be free but for some reason they couldn't follow through with it so if we wanted to keep them we'd have to pay... so we let them lapse. I agree, shorter names are easier to remember... and a bit more fun too, but that's the way the 3D ball bounces.
