Restaurated roads.

This means, i took the original roads, did some cosmetics to it,

like reducing the repetitive details, making it sharper, powering the structure,

adding grooves to the track, where it wasn't .

I'm not done with it.

Only the 4 and 2 laned roads are put in yet.

This is the textfile included in the weather updated at 13.04.2013 . :

 

 

 

Welcome to my weather Edition for test drive unlimited 2012

 

 

benefits:

 

sunset in the west, sunrise in the east,

sun color changes depending on the time of day,

car interiors and reflecting parts outside shine gently

according to the color of the sun,

brilliance and sharpness of the reflections on the car paint change

relative to time

(morning dew on the paint reduces the sharpness of for example),

correct colors of weather mirroring in the windows,

night with dark blue sky

( roads and buildings are good to see what makes the whole thing driveable ),

6 day cycle with 8 times differently designed, working with and without hdr activated,

colour of shining from the road corresponds to the time of day,

since 20.12.2012 :

you can choose between 4 glowmodes for the hdr mode,

( Starglow, Normalglow, Everyglow, and Noglow ),

car colours are not too yellow anymore, but no clean white,

i call it "romantic white" :-) ,

all arround adjusted colours ( fog, roads, grass, trees, sky, clouds )

no comiclike ducktales look anymore, but i liked it and it gave me an other idea,

sorry for the evenings in hdr, the clouds are too bright,

it is like that, cause it was, when i wanted to release this update on a

special cool date like 20.12.2012 . In not before 100 years possible again !

 

Installation:

 

Go to your FX folder in the test drive unlimited directory.

Move the ini files, weatherHDRI, HDRIConf, weatherDesc, weather, and FX,

in a new folder. Call it what you want. Then copy the downoaded files in same

folder FX you've just made the backup from. To play this edition you need

not necessarily to replace the FX file. The same applies to the HDRIConf.

Since these two files play no role for the flow of weather, but only

the big picture change, so the appearance of the graphic. For example,

some have other plants in the game. These use mostly a section of grass, replace

this and therefore need a different size setting. If you replace the

fx file then, your plants appear quite small. The parameter heightbushes in

the FX must then again get the value of your plantmod fx. Right click, open

with editor, number change, then not save as, but only save. Otherwise,

the editor makes the ini file to become a text file, and this does not work

for the game. Edit : You need all files in the folder.

Otherwise the weather will be too bright.

 

Now nothing should stand in the way for enjoying the beautiful weather.

So, how i know myself i will continue working on the weather. For example, there are

indeed several sun models in the game. Perhaps you can use one of them as a moon, but i

haven't tried yet. In the night mode, the other cars have day reflections. Me is still not

clear why, but i'll find out. I suppose, since the game is only designed for weather at day

it has one agreed standard type of weather for all other cars and is not orientating at

the individual weather of the player, and equal for all players online,to minimize the flow

of data. You know the weather of the players is not synchronized in TDU 1.

 

I would like if you do videos of this edition.

My PC is not so good as yours.

I have mine since 2002 and as long as he does not flabby, it stays my PC. I like it :-) .

 

If there is interest in my soundmods, take a look on youtube. "DJ Tinnio"

 

Instead of TDU online to quit, it would be nice if it was a pay to play game.

I personally would want to invest a little to continue playing TDU. If we all direct this

message in a friendly way to Atari , that might happen.

 

This edition is my work, whose copyright remains at Atari and Eden Games.

So the exactly same laws apply,

which can be found on the original packaging of the game "Test Drive Unlimited" .

 

 

 

how to install ?

by the way

 

Everybody can decide if clouds are in the game.

Just open the weather.ini you are using with editor,

find the line cloud3dname and cloud3dcolor in the dayperiod you want to change.

Now you decide if you want to keep it or not.

If not, don't leave an empty line. Close the gap, and save. Done

I was getting a bit bord of TurboLag's Blur effect and the clear Blue Sky. I've picked a good Weather mod, yours, adding the summergreen addon.

Get the all new Huracan and an epic V10 sound mod. I've done 200Km straight.

 

LOVE IT ! :eek2:

Thank you for your great work ;) Even the old Atari's texture looks great with your mod. I can't get enough of that sun light :eek:

What a nice post.

This is very motivating.

 

Man you got plenty colour in your picture.

I suggest to reduce the saturation just a little bit :-).

I wish a nice christmas time, and a good new year then.

Likewise.

 

Yes i do that.

I allready got moon and sunmodel in a better quality on my drive.

New working step allowes to change textures with lossless quality.

I apply that to all textures i changed.

At the same time, i do realistic lighting.

But not this year anymore :-).

 

Hey Dj, let me start by saying happy holidays! Do you plan on toning down the color saturation since you now have the green grass and trees? HDR [on]
