released iLLusion: Island Paradise v0.9.5 + Autumn and Winter Add-On

[iLLusion]

heLLo!

 

You got your dream car and you're driving on the island with a breathtaking sceneries. Driving on Oahu should be all about making you feel special. But wait... washed out, low quality textures somehow manage to ruin that whole paradise experience? Or you are just plain bored with TDU after spending countless hours driving from one end of the island to another? No more!

 

Expect a complete overhaul of TDU world... Island Paradise will breathe a new life into (y)our TDU!

 

Find out why we call it the ultimate environment mod for TDU!

 

Starting from v0.9, due to the community feedback, IP is going to be ''divided'' into two separate installations - Full Edition and Lite Edition.

 

While Lite Edition ''only'' got environment overhaul that should satisfy most of the crowd out there and give them countless hours of fun, Full Edition aims a bit higher. In short, added features like TDU2 GPS map, new GPS hud, IP TDU menu, IP car plate... will give this 4 year old game breath of fresh air. General overhaul will most likely keep you entertained long enough till the real deal, TDU2 come out in few months. And that's not all, as we continue to go toward v1.0, Full Edition will get even more features! So stay tuned!

thanks, but when map is activated it's black all over the area where you point your cursor.

[Ozzmcom]

good luck with this it looks good , so will you be re-texturing everything like roads and stuff too?

[Y00 PAY]

incredible :) good luck on it :)

[iLLusion]

@Ozzmcom

I was thinking about something similar to include with this release. Idea for new road textures, new weather... and maybe new shops + billboards still exists, but retexturing and replacing hundrends of files is time consuming... and time is something I won't have in next few weeks/months cause of my other projects, aswell as focusing to (finally) finish exams at my university.

 

I don't want to promise all of those new goodies, and then shortly after that ''disappear'', abandoning the project.

 

Short answer would be, you can expect ''only'' new flora. Should be enough, cause it will change look&feel of Oahu considerably. I've only replaced 3-4 textures (30+ to go), and impact it had on the world was astonishing. Can't wait to finish retexturing the rest of files and can't wait to see the end result. It will going to be whole another game, there's no doubt about it. :D

Great work!

 

Now you have your own shiny badge. :)

[iLLusion]

Wow, really? :excited: Thanks, I really appreciate it. :thumbsup:

 

And I got 2 new screenies to show. ^^

 

 

[M@ster]

nice work :thumbsup:

[TheDuck38]

Great !!!

 

Can't wait for it ! The pictures look veryyy promising ! If you want to replace more than 30 textures, it will be a totally different world to explore...

[killalldude]

Lookin' gooood.....

[iLLusion]

So far, I've managed to modify 26 textures. I'm far from finishing this project, cause I have to modify around 20-25 more (don't ask how additional ones showed up on my to do list). XD

 

On brighter note, one type of palm tree is finished.

 

 

 

Not sure, but 2-3 palms left to go.

[The Queen]

Great work on this. I look forward to trying it out when it's done. ;)

[Ryzza5]

Looking forward to the final result, keep up the good work

Are you using original road textures or a mod? If so what mod?

 

Thanx!

[iLLusion]

Flower power. :D 8 new flower types are finished.

 

 

 

@madpioneer

Check the first post.

 

Road and grass textures seen on screenshots are from Opelos_HUN.

 

To be more specific, they are from his Tropical Paradise.

[iLLusion]

Time for some more goodies!

 

 

 

 

TDU never felt this… alive! Everything is so green… and fresh! It’s still pretty much in development, but boy, oh boy, it looks (and feels) incredible.

[iLLGT3]

OMFG makes me wish this kind of stuff was possible on the X360. Nice work.

[Camel]

What he said, that really looks stunning. :eek:

[zo6dude]

Looks amazing:)

[M@ster]

Nice :thumbsup:

[elvis_92]

damn this looks crazy .... very very special work brother ! svaka cast brate :D

[blackhole522]

Does this type of mod affect frame rate?

[{SL}|CMR|Civic]

release ?? (:

[iLLusion]

@elvis_92

Hvala, hvala. :D

Thanks, thanks. :D

 

@blackhole522

It should work like a charm. Chances are, if you can run vanilla game on a decent framerate, you will run this mod also with no biggie.

 

I've started this mod with HQ textures, but soon my game started to freeze randomly as more and more textures were replaced. That's why I've decided to resize them back to default dimensions. Sure, it doesn't looks that good, but let's be honest, do we really want to see one leaf in ultra quality? Before you say, yes we do, I'm sure that 99% of the time we will just past by it fast and won't notice any difference at all. :D

I'll do my best to finish it until the 15th of June. If not, I'll provide a playable ''test'' version for the community, cause I know that a lot of guys are getting impatient to get their hands on this baby. :D Beta version should keep you good, and should give you a taste of a new TDU world... until the real stuff comes out.

[iLLusion]

Sorry for the lack of new updates, I still didn't continued my work on replacing old textures. For the past few days, I was busy with the numerous bugs that were reported by beta testers. Most of them are solved, and most of them are... well, they are still waiting to be solved.

 

I don't want to bother you with my typing anymore, so I'll conclude this short report with a screenshot.

 

 

Cya soon.
