F.A.Q.

Q. Do I have to own a legal version of TDU?

Yes

 

Q. How do I install the mod / how can I solve my issues?

See the ReadMe in the archive, it will solve most of your issues

 

Q. Do I have to own the Megapack to play online?

No. You need however the latest official version of TDU (1.66A)

 

Q. Is there any mod incompatibility with the mod?

Most of your mods should work (unless it implies executable modifications)

 

Q. Is this completely free?

This mod is, and will ever be 110% free.

 

Q. Where can I download the source code or the server binaries to set my own server?

This isn't possible at the moment (because it would be pointless to setup many TDU servers when the game work in P2P). If the server close, the binaries will be released.

 

Q. What features aren't / won't be working at release? (this list may change)

Clubs, Drive In, Multiplayer Lobby, Leaderboard, E-bay

 

Q. Can I play offline with this mod and keep the features (such as the fuel mode)?

Yes

 

Q. Do I need a powerful connection to play?

If your connection used to work on the official server, then it'll work too there

 

Q. Can I play with Xfire, Steam, MSi afterburner integrated into my game?

No, because it will cause conflicts with the mod. You'll have to play without those

 

Q. I get an error message on connection because of my username

Read the instructions provided in the archive

 

Q. Is there more features to come?

Maybe... who knows!

Set a command line option (noob friendly edition)

Find your TDU shortcut, right click and select properties:

Once opened you'll be able to see "Target", which points to your TDU.exe. It'll say something like "C:\Program Files\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\TestDriveUnlimited.exe".

At the end of that, after the quote mark, you just need to add your command line parameters like displayed above. I have added -fuel for working fuel gauge and -allmanual so that all vehicles use the H-Shifter on my G27. You can add any of the following:

 

-allmanual : all vehicles use h-shifter

-fuel : enables working fuel gauge

-hd : graphics tweaks for high-end computer

-hidewheel : hides the steering wheel and avatar

-sd : less intensive graphics tweaks

-vsync : enables vsync (set to 60fps)

 

And don't forget to click --> Apply <--

[COMB@T_$HOTGUN]

That sounds and looks great mate if u need eny help u can always count on me i will try to help u with evrything i can mate ;)

[Dux]

sounds like a big project, so good luck man and to your friends.

i hope you will make most of it, last thing is most important to be honest , and the best one, seriously, it would be bloody awesome to make it

 

me too :D

[Jonez]

Interesting! Good luck :D

[Jorgemodek]

Im on it !

 

You can count with me for helping.... and i hope someone could reborn the servers

 

Good luck with everything

[Norby931]

Sounds cool! Good luck with it! ;)

[Minime891]

Really hope the best for this. :)

[Eudemon]

Ooh this sounds delicious, bring on the trumpets and magic carpets I say!

[Narwhal]

I read this carefully and what I learned from this is that TDU2 and Atari were actually useful,to some point.W/o TDU2 we actually wouldn't know about this.

Than again,w/o TDU2 we would have our servers online and stuff.Sigh...

 

OT:Good luck with this project mate,sounds epic!

[killalldude]

Best of luck. I really want to play TDU1 online again, even if it's without all the extra addons.

[Ryzza5]

Looking forward to it.

 

Offroad wasn't completely useless. Difficult but a good challenge.

[Dux]

i agree with both guys above me.

yeah, offroad is nice sometimes, not easy but nice.

we can have suv mods :D

Flows X6M is example . ..

[The Compensator]

Sounds very promising, Speeder! :)

 

Personally, I think TDU needs revised Hawaii. It's very different compared to real Hawaii (check Kapahulu Ave in StreetView, for example). Are you able to add new buildings and roads, or just edit them (elevation, 'copying' old buildings etc.)?

[Rassva]

Optimus G or Xperia Ion , these phones look fancy , these days every smartphone is good , just choose the one that has a nice design.

[The Compensator]

Wrong thread, mate.

[The Drifter]

Finally there's still hope for online, holding BIG THUMBS!!!!!

 

I will laugh at Atari with their TDU2 if every modder or programmer can make TDU1 10x better then TDU2 even if it already does :D

 

And best of luck with your project Speeder :cheers:

RIght now I was wondering why my comment isn't where it is supposed to be.

I'm not sure if the 3D library is editable, so for the moment I'll only re-use buildings that are already in game. :D

But it's still impossible to edit these roads, because of the weird organisation of the collision file. :jealous:

After some researches, I figured out some tweaks for TDU graphics and found a lot of debug options (I'll post a video tomorrow) that I might share in a little soft. :D

[Eudemon]

I've always said the clouds of TDU1 are better than TDU2 and this colour change you're showing reaffirms it. :) Looking forward to what you will be showing in the future mate.

[Fear Deer]

This looks lovely man :) Keeping a close eye on this one!

[Speeder]

I put 3 new screens on my tumblr. :D

 

Happy new year to all turboduck community in advance! :p

[Eudemon]

Nice lamps. :D And a happy new year to you too mate!!
