TDU MPH Roadsigns into KM/H

    Recommended Posts

    It's time to mod the roadsigns from MPH to KM/H.

     

    All roadsigns stay US styled, only the MPH roadsigns are changed in this mod.

     

    After searching all the files I finally found the needed files to change the roadsigns with the speed restrictions. It wasn't easy like copy / paste as I presumed at forehand. The roadsigns also come in 2D objects (TDU displays the 2D object roadsign when it is a long distance from the player). And so I had to edit the 2D objects too.

     

    Entering the roads outside the city. Traffic goes around 80KM/Hour

    Entering the Highway. Traffic goes around 120KM/Hour

    Entering towns / cities

    Updated in version 1.01: Medium and low detailed video setting alpha channels on long distance 2D objects now 100% working. (high video setting already did)

    Download the TDU KM/H roadsigns mod here

    TDU Roadsigns Version 1.01 (with working alpha channels on all graphic settings)

    TDU Roadsigns Version 1.02:

    *) fixed a maybe low video setting bug in CommonWorldDiv2.Bnk file

    *) 120KM/H roadsign became 140KM/H (adjusted to common traffic speeds)

    *) 50KM/H roadsign became 60KM/H (adjusted to common traffic speeds)

    For those who want to mod themselves:

     

    2903525.jpg

    The 2D objects for a single type of roadsign. 4 different sizes with each 7 visable signs turned from left to right. 1bits alpha channel. (Also high video setting use 2D objects in a distance, in contruary what I said earlier...)

     

    Save the picture with the long distance 2D roadsigns in this shown configuration or you will get problems with mipmaps & bumpmaps & color depth & resolution. Used for this is Adobe Photoshop with the plugin from NVidia.

    (Public NVidia plugin for Photoshop http://developer.nvidia.com/object/photoshop_dds_plugins.html)

    When saved with this setting, Alpha Channel and color depth give no more problems.

     

    The Maps picture can be converted from .BMP to DDS with this setting in DXTBmp (freeware)

    How to installl:

    There is no auto-installer (yet)

     

    FIRST MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR COMMONWORLD.BNK AND COMMONWORLDDIV2.BNK

    (these 2 files are located in \\Testdrive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Level\Hawai)

     

    Inside \\Testdrive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Level\Hawai\CommonWorld.BNK replace two files

    with the extracted files out of my CommonWorld folder:

    *) rs_impos_h-i.2db

    *) rs_maps.2db

     

    Save the BNK after replacing the 2 files inside

     

    Inside \\Testdrive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Level\Hawai\CommonWorldDiv2.BNK replace two files

    with the extracted files out of my CommonworldDiv2 folder:

    *) rs_impos_h-i.2db

    *) rs_maps.2db

     

    Save the BNK after replacing the 2 files inside

    Great work.

     

    I won't install this, as I 'd rather remaining in "USA" style for oahu. But for those interested in it, that worths the try.

     

    Btw Carda, you can produce an install patch to make this easier (with uninstall support). Let me know ...

    For example I care because I drive with g25 on manual gearbox using sppeedlimits and hc mode :P With it it's a great sim :P

    hehehe... uniquesilver, if you have a g25 then I agree with you... It was a joke anyway as I like to drive in sim. mod and most of the downloads from here, makes the game cool and realistic... Who waits in red lights? Well, I do... :)
