Democross Small Tires Pack!

By: DaveTheSmasher


For the first time ever in MTM2 Democross makes it's full fledged debut curtosey of the ME! Contained within this pack is 8 Small Tires (ST) Democross cars. DEMOCROSS is found in Monster Truck Shows across the nation and features the thrill of circuit racing coupled with the destruction of demolition derbies. Nobody leaves their seats when these jalopee's take the track!

More About Democross Races
--------------------------

DEMOCROSS Races typically run 10 to 15 laps around a predetermined course around the arena floor. Usually it's over some roller jumps and whooptydoos. The "enforcer" (car #10 in this package) trails the field and attempts to crash out opponents before the race ends. This varies however and sometimes the "enforcer" isn't apart of the race in that capacity but just as another competitor. 

More About The Package Within
-----------------------------

Inside this package is 8 DEMOCROSS Cars. They are low verts and faces, and have rotating tires. 8 Competitors can race at a time with little to no lag. The cars feature one 256x256 texture for the body and one 64x64 texture for the wheels. The lights on #10 and #82 also are 64x64 textures.

The cars should run only on hard suspension for realism purposes. Anything else will result in a unrealistic bottom out effect. The cars will appear to float on tracks that are not designated for Small Tires vehicles.

Cars In the Package (listed as Democross #-- in game): #00 MOO MOO MULISHA, #1 SASQUATCH CRUISER, #8 DRUNKY THE LIZZARD, #10 "THE ENFORCER", #24 RAINBOW WARRIOR, #69 MARDI GRAS MAULER, #82 BAD TO THE BONE, #101 GRAMPAMCGEE's JALOPEE.

About Creating DEMOCROSS Tracks
-------------------------------

There is  currently only one DEMOCROSS track available to the public (SPHRA Jonesboro Thunder Jam) and with the popularity that these should generate more should crop up soon! 

All that needs to be done by track makers is the following:

1.) Set GRIP DEPTH for all Textures to 17. This makes the cars at ground level and no longer float!

2.) Place Checkpoints to run the race. Ideally 2 checkpoints is all that's needed for a small arena race. Perhaps more depending on course lengths. 

3.) This is optional but course points. For those who wish to do computer AI races this will be a must. It is the same as placing Race Cams for draggers unaware of how to do this. Simply place the points in same fashion for which you would race cams but following the course you want the cars to take. Then it's a matter of setting the extended course points using "generate from main" by right clicking.

4.) Test, TEST, TESSSST! It might not be right the first try but things can be tweaked!

5.) I've also included a props version of the cars. Many times DEMOCROSS Cars are parked out upon the floor as wall protection during the Monsters Event or After. Sometimes they are used as freestyle objects to crush (see FS props). I've decided to include a props version for those wishing to place the cars on the floor during the race.

ABOUT CREATING FUTURE PACKAGES
------------------------------

I tried to structure the DEMOCROSS cars so that others could repaint and produce more in the future. The textures and modeling should be very self explanatory. I hope to see more someday besides these!
