Thank you for confirming my findings, and for updating the wiki. Get ready for a new addition to the absurd novelty vehicle category very soon!

Couldn't get any racing done this month yet, but I'll try and get a lap in at some point between Thursday and Sunday!

Stunts Questions / Re: Introduction and some ques...
Last post by Duplode - Today at 03:38:14 AM
Hello @Foxpup , welcome to this little corner of the Internet!  :D

On ride height: Repldump reports the height of the car (i.e. the vertical carstate coordinate) as a constant 8 in 3D shape units. If we make the straightforward assumption that the carstate position is the origin for rendering the 3D shape, your estimation is exactly right!

On wheels: Indeed, your description is right, and the Wiki was wrong. Though that's something we stumble at every so often, actually correcting the text somehow had always fallen through the cracks. That being so, I've just plastered a band-aid on the article (it still needs a replacement picture at least).

Looking forward to see your vehicle, do keep us updated!  :)

Stunts Questions / Introduction and some question...
Last post by Foxpup - Today at 12:54:09 AM
Hi, everybody! I'm Foxpup, a 37-year-old Australian small-time furry artist and retro gamer (don't ask about the contradiction between my age and my nickname, it's a long story). I first played Stunts way back in the early 90s, and have decided to get back into it having just discovered its modding potential. I've been fooling around with extreme values for performance parameters and having found the game engine to be reasonably well-behaved (by that I mean, no worse-behaved than usual), I have decided to implement a real-world extreme vehicle. I didn't really intend to at first, I just kinda got carried away. I'll inflict the results of my tomfoolery upon you just as soon as I get the 3D model and dashboard art done.

But first there's a couple of things regarding the 3D model that aren't apparent from reading the wiki that I'd like some clarification on.

First of all, when the bottom of a car's wheels are at y=0, the car appears to be floating in the air. Most of the original cars have their floorpan at y=0, and the bottom of the wheels between y=-1 and y=-6, and even they appear to be floating. Is the correct value of this "ride height" known or documented anywhere? It seems to be around -8 based on my experiments, but it's hard to judge visually with the game's limited resolution.

Also, am I crazy or is the wiki just completely wrong about the function of wheel vertices? As far as I can tell, a wheel's vertices actually just define the centre, top, and front/rear of the wheel's inside and outside surfaces. The rim/sidewall aspect ratio can't be changed at all. Is this why CarWorks completely corrupts the wheel shapes if you try to alter them with it?

Chat - Misc / World Cup 2026
Last post by alanrotoi - December 05, 2025, 04:46:27 PM
The world cup draw will be in an hour!
Here are the draw pots for the FIFA World Cup 2026:

Pot 1

Canada, Mexico, USA, Spain, Argentina, France, England, Brazil, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany

Pot 2

Croatia, Morocco, Colombia, Uruguay, Switzerland, Japan, Senegal, Islamic Republic of Iran, Republic of Korea, Ecuador, Austria, Australia

Pot 3

Panama, Norway, Egypt, Algeria, Scotland, Paraguay, Côte d'Ivoire, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa

Pot 4

Jordan, Cabo Verde, Ghana, Curacao, Haiti, New Zealand, UEFA Play-off A, UEFA Play-off B, UEFA Play-off C, UEFA Play-off D, FIFA Play-off 1, FIFA Play-off 2

---------------

How will they avoid a massacre between titans in the groups phase? I mean the pot 1 is: Canada, Mexico, 'murica, Portugal and the biggest lie ever who was leader of the FIFA world ranking for some years Belgium.

Colombia deserves a lot more than Courtois +10 team. Will we have a new world cup winner? Netherlands, is it time? Belgium? (lol).

Japan is getting stronger but still they need a lot.

Will Argentina have a world cup without a match against Mexico? Is this the world cup of Morocco?

Quote from: CTG on December 01, 2025, 10:06:54 AMWe have Orbán's (Fidesz) regime since 2010 and he is a football maniac dictator of a hypercorrupt country.

Here's what Romanian president said:

Translation:
QuoteRomania is a corrupt country.

So what's the problem? Get used to it. How did you expect me to become president?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Romanian_presidential_election#Candidates

QuoteIn response, Șoșoacă claimed "this proves the Americans, Israelis and the European Union have plotted to rig the Romanian election before it has begun"

She was right, obviously.
