1-Jan-2002:
To kick off 2002 I've made updates to a few pages and done a 'clean' re-upload of the entire website to the FortuneCity server (they insert code into every html file to perform the popup ads, and I'd noticed that this had damaged one or two of my pages). I have also zipped up the entire website so you can download it to your desktop for offline viewing. Unfortunately, there is a limit of 1MB on files I can upload to Fortunecity, so you'll need to visit the mirror site for this.

Went through these pages doing random updates and typo fixes. Some time ago I also updated the BINedit page of this site to include links that point to other good BINedit tutorials and dedicated sites :)

Added a note about the "Noah Phenomenon" on both the FAQ page and the Vertex Notes page of the Walk-Through Tutorial. My thanks go to Malibu350 for letting me use his screenshots to further ilustrate this bug caused by having unused vertices on a truck model.

It's been a long time between drinks, but I'm finally getting back into the swing of things now that my Higher School Certificate exams are winding down. I've reviewed and refined the tutorial (this is version 3 now, and probably the final version) plus made a number of amendments to other parts of the site. The BINedit section still isn't up yet, but it's about all that's left.

22-May-2000
Stupid me, I forgot to upload the new version of the first page of the tutorial. The first page that was there was actually pointing to a old page that doesn't exist anymore. Heh, after uploading the entirety of the tutorial (including images and downloads) I just didn't think of it. Anyway, it's ben sorted out now, so give it another try.

20-May-2000
I finally got the Walk-Through Tutorial rewritten and uploaded (big job... REALLY big job). Check it out.

The folks running Fortunecity have been busy. They've now sorted out the URLs for accounts to make them shorter, more convient and easier to remember. It works like this:
The old URL for this site was http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/pacific/145/
The new URL (a la xoom.com) is http://members.fortunecity.com/drive2survive
Have no worries though, the old URL will continue to work for as long as this site remains on FC servers.

14-May-2000
New sections up! The Download and Files sections have been typed up and uploaded for your viewing pleasure. Eventually I will include links to other sites where you can download even more truck-making stuff on the Download page.
As a sidenote, I notice that FortuneCity are redecorating again. Normally I'd complain about the disruption this causes (do they HAVE to do this every year?!) but the old look was, quite simply, UG-LY!, so I'll welcome any changes for the moment.

10-May-2000
I have finally composed pages for the remaining half of the site, so there should be no more 404 errors when clicking a link that points to a page that does not exist. Some of the pages don't have anything on them yet, but they're there! The new pages with actual content are:
PODMate and PodZip program pages.
FAQ page
The Tutorial is currently being re-written, to make it easier to navigate and digest.

7-May-2000
I finally got the walk-through Tutorial completed. This documents the construction of my Devil's Dodge replica, and hopefully people will be able to pick up at least a few tips and tricks and get some idea of the process I go through to create a truck. I need feedback on this though, so please e-mail me with your thoughts after looking it over (although a little more information than "It's crap!" would be appreciated!).
Now that the major component of this site is completed, I now consider it open for people to check out, hence no more redirect page for my truck site. You can still reach Drive2Survive's MTM2 Custom Workshop by clicking on the D2S Site button and following the link.

25-Mar-2000
Finally uploaded an amended version of the Tracked2 section... it has the keyboard commands neatly tabulated for easy reference. I have been working hard on the Tutorial Walk-Through, expect it to be completed soon.

9-Mar-2000
Added the Tracked2 section to the Programs section of the site.

5-Mar-2000
I finally did some updates. The MDMRE section of the Programs section of the site is completed and uploaded. I hope soon to have some explanatory images made to go with the new section.

Howdy!
A lot of people have asked me to explain the process for making their own MTM2 addon trucks, so I've decided to knock together this website to show how it's done (well, how I do it anyway). At the moment there isn't a great deal done yet, but stick around, and one day I may get it finished...
This site will contain several sections explaining the different aspects of making trucks and advanced techniques you can learn to make your skill better. My hope is that one day it will become THE site for newbies to learn how to build, which is probably aiming a little high, but until then, take a gander at what is yet to come...
The Programs section will detail all the truck making programs that I myself use, including the MDMRE progs, Tracked2, WinPod etc.
BINedit is so complicated it gets a section all of its own. The BINedit section will detail this most powerful tool and show you how to do some basic and advanced binediting.
The Tutorial section will take you through the steps I go through in making a truck. I will actually be building a truck for this section and including work-in-progress pics of it, so this section will take a while to complete.
The Contact section allows you to contact me if you have any questions or ideas of what I should add to my site.
The D2S Site section will take you to my other website of MTM2 addon trucks, Drive2Survive's MTM2 Custom Workshop.
