Rock Crawling Game

[84krawler]

So i was looking around for a rock crawling games and they only had the lame ones till i found ""RIGS OF RODS"" Check it out guys and tell me wat you think

[PBrown]

I just looked up some stuff for it and have. NO idea what it is. The repository has a ton of things to download but i don't know how the game works. Looks cool though.

[Rocksurfer]

No link???

[kneedownnate]

It's been posted on here before but search brings up nothing.  I remember the action being incredibly realistic.

[PBrown]

there is a forum all about this game. It actually seems like a pretty good  driving simulator.

Have to have Quick Draw post up some of his pics from it. Very fun game! He was able to make a truck that looks just like his 80. Wish they had a taco. Love it when the axles break and launch through the cab lol

[gnarrkill]

Some screenshots:


A winch I made:




A work in progress to start making the bumper and flatbed look more like mine.  They're just removed in this shot:

[Quick Draw]

Here's a couple more crawling around.  The thing in front of the grill is part of the winch in development stages.  Basically that triangle thing guides the "cable" out with up, down, left, right, in, out keyboard commands.  More recently, those "beams" are invisible but still functional so that all you can see is the winch cable moving out on its own.

[Quick Draw]

Here's another game I used to play that's kind of fun rock crawling.  It's called "Rover Run"  A quick google search should bring you to the free download.  The cool thing about this one is that it asks you to set the dimensions and parameters (tire size, width, gear ratio, etc) of the vehicle before each run, so you can make a really big bad rover, or just a little rig...or something ridiculous.  And if you're on a crappy laptop like me, this one is much less of a strain on your system.






The downsides:  There is only one map, the graphics suck, the physics are a little weird, and no Toyotas...

why is it i can never get these games to work on my "high end computer" lol..... oh well

how did you get the dodge tires on the toyota? i want to put the buggy tires on the toyota

i have recently become addicted. wanted to try and build a truck but i don't think there is software for OSX and im to lazy right now to dual boot on my computer. games fun stuff though

Well I don't want to go too in depth because I only know from reading up on it at forum.rigsofrods.com.  So first and foremost, use that as your primary reference for vehicle modification.  But in general:

Copy and paste the wheels section in the .truck file for the donor vehicle into the receiving .truck file.  Change the node 1 and node 2 values on the new wheels section to match the old one.  Search for "truck description file" for further information on this.  Save the .truck file.  Move the wheel .mesh and .material files from the donor vehicle into the recipient vehicle's folder

As soon as I get some bugs out of my Yota, I will post it on the repository.  In addition to the winch and larger tires, it also has 3 low gears to mimick 1st gear in 2.28, 4.7 and (4.7 *2.28) low ranges.  It also has a longer wheelbase, more flexibility, selectable lockers f/r, and more realistic driving characteristics from the original.  So soon enough....I'll release it...then you can all download it.

cool thanks! my toyota already has the lower gearing and selectable i got from you a while ago when you posted it!

Anyone else think the buggy doesn't have low enough gearing? and i can't wait to download your yota quick draw.

Ha i always used to use "i" until i accidently hit "del".

[kombatics]

It took me a while to figure out all of the button's but this game is sweet. It would be cool to see terrain's modeled after something like the Rubicon.
