What is a TRUCK file?

TRUCK files mostly belong to Rigs of Rods by Petr Ohlidal. TRUCK is a file extension for definition files used to render 3D trucks in Rigs of Rods, a multi-platform vehicle simulation game. The contents of a TRUCK file define the physical and structural parameters of a truck in text format. The parameters may include the truck's title, wheels, engine, beams, texture, nodes, and globals that are decomposed into different sections of a TRUCK file. The title of the truck is defined as the first parameter of an TRUCK file. The starting point of other sections of the file are indicated as keywords with the following syntax:


keyword
; a comment
param1 [, param2…]

For example, the globals section may look like this:

globals
;dry mass, cargo mass, material
1500.0, 1000.0, tracks/semi
