That truck on the DL page wasn't made by me, I have no idea who made it, but if anyone knows who did, be my guest to claim it, just please remove my name from it if possible.

hmmmm. Monster Patrol + RepFan ?

That's more like it.

Lol, wierd part is if anyone knows me at all, knows I don't even like that truck, and there is no way I'd ever make it in the first place.

I dunno what they were thinking.

Funny thing is the truck right above it by Sjracer looks like the exact same truck.

By jove, I think he's on to something. Yep, I'm gonna agree on this one. "replica fan's" truck definately looks very close to Sljracer's truck. As Kevin said in another thread:

Sick him Phin...

So, are we saying these two are the same truck?

With nearly 5000 trucks this sort of thing is getting harder to spot. Good eye GL2000.

I didnt make it, I hate Monster Patrol, I've never made that truck, I dunno who made that one and put my name on it.

I can tell you it was definitely Sljracer. I examined both pics in Photoshop and although they show a different track, different direction, and different lighting, the truck is virtually identical in both pics.

@phin
Yep, we're saying it's the same truck. Don't know what he was thinking, but unless anyone objects, I'm going to download both trucks and look closer in BinEdit.

Results:

-Both zips are identical size
-Both pods are named exactly the same - MONSTER_PATROL.POD
-Both pods contain exactly the same files - taken from about four different sources
-Both pods/zips were built on exactly the same day, exactly the same time.

BinEdit results:
-Both models are IDENTICAL!

Results:
"Replica fan"'s MP and Sljracer's MP are both the same truck.

Thank you Mat for checking that out. And I'm still amazed GL2000 found the original. Anyway, I will now turn off the more recent of the two and leave sljracer as the rightful author.

ive never seen these truck before, are they for that MTM2.1 thing?

Post by **Phineus** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 10:15 pm

No. sljracer is an old time mtmer who made a truck. That's all. And then somebody reuploaded it using rep fan's name.

im guessing Old time was before my time. The truck looks cool tho, i see a different suspension and such. will a full race of those trucks cause "cannot eviron model" errors on tracks like wilderness and euro trip? Cause I notice custom trucks tend to do that. (especially animated cool buggy lol)

> will a full race of those trucks cause "cannot eviron model" errors

Never know until you try but it wouldn't surprise me if it did. That's the hazard of high verts.
