Still in progress, but I'd like to know what to improve in TDU1 graphics. :D

 

(don't pay attention to the weird fog on the right, it's of course not intended to be there :p)

[Fear Deer]

Modify the game's shaders :D

[Dux]

sorry bro, but any updates on server modding

?

[The Compensator]

I always wanted to park next to those 'locked' houses. :D

[Speeder]

sorry bro, but any updates on server modding

?

 

Well I studied this point a bit with some help as I said:

It seems to be possible, but it will be quite long and hard to do, since I only have some debug logs to work with, and I don't have the encryption algorithm or the structures of the packets yet.

BTW if any experimented developer is around, feel free to PM me since extra help would be quite nice for such a hard project. :)

You're officially my favourite French person. Just thought you should know.

[kurio]

[Dux]

While I was working on the online, I took a short time to dig into the debug options left in TDU... And well it seems there are a lot of them!

Except the official debug menu was cut off the game when it went from debug build to finale ready for retail (I assume), almost all of these options are there!

I'm not going to show all of them because I didn't research all of these first, and some of these doesn't worth it (I mean even if a modder would like to edit the NPC in the world the BOAT TRACE (=show the path of the boat around the island) option would never come handy :D ).

 

PS: sorry for the crappy quality and the total absence of sound. :(

And yup these options should be available with the patch. :D

[Eudemon]

Nice man, that is some interesting finds, keep them coming mate! :)

[Ryzza5]

Still would be interesting to see where the boats go...

[Eudemon]

I was thinking you could maybe make a race out of it. Top Gear style! Even better if you could stick lookalikes of James and Hamster on it somewhere. :p

[Ryzza5]

nah, those machinima days are over for TDU1. To think I still have an unseen movie that's about 85% done somewhere back from 2009.

[MephistoRacing]

^Finish it.

 

Also, this man (Speeder) should be paid. Even if it is only in the form of rubber ducks

[Ryzza5]

Trouble is Diabo uses Glacial Post to send the ducks out to people

[Fear Deer]

paypal works... :lol:

[Rassva]

Do you mind taking a look at the digital gauges? Also , any other interesting debug options? I remeber Tool saying a loooong time ago that you could make the avatar put his hand on the radio when you changed the station and pull the e-brake lever when you pushed the e-brake button on the keyboard.

[Sk1izzo]

This is great!! :excited:

Can't wait for it.

Take your time and do yo' thing! :D

Love it.

Good luck! :)

Hats off!

[Superball]

I think u will make a very nice thing. I think a lot of TDU player want this mod and you will make happy for all of that people. So good luck! We will waiting for it!

[Spjs9]

Ah very very nice!

 

I installed TDU again....ist just a great game. And yeah TDU 2 isnt, so we must mod TDU1 =D

 

Good luck!

Great idea!

[Beam81]

I wish you the best for your big project. In joy of driving in a new TDU1-World I am exciting. Thank You!

[Bozickovic]

I don't wanna be an as*hole but i must say this to you.

This is the very sweet idea and it is very much tempting etc. etc.

But (yeah there is a but)

Why not do this:

Implement TDU1 handling model to TDU2 data base and make TDU2 feel and drive just like good old TDU1.

And than just open the price server and done deal! Than you could open "DLC" slots and add more cars in to the game.

You will save yourself lots of time and you will have more superior game.

Cheers!

[Ryzza5]

Wouldn't we all get banned as soon as we tried to go online though?

 

Not that I'm against better physics being added to TDU2.

[Dux]

only if we get private servers, that would be nice, and could make something of tdu2

[Speeder]

Well I really hate to say that, but it might even be a better idea than the actual: TDU1 servers can't be reversed with the low amount of documents I have. I wouldn't try TDU2 reverse personally since the game is still active and I don't want to ruin Eden's work (even if they are slow as hell to publish new dlc).
