Djey: TDU Community PATCH 2.00A

[Djey]

  

 

First community patch (1.67) was born 5 years ago. And from version to version, it provided more and more features on our beloved game.

Now again, things have changed. Exciting things have been discovered lately and are always in progress. So I thought it could be cool a new patch exists to set up a clean TDU - setting a new base for the future. Remember, Community Patch is the first thing to install after good old 1.66 Megapack :nuts:, isn't it ?

 

So 2.00A is the first revision of this new patch. It aims at fixing and completing some aspects of 1.68b, while bringing new modding standards. Patch distribution will provide both:

• support and documentation: WIKI
• a way to upgrade freshly installed game to 2.00A -> all files will be included (FULL)
• a way to upgrade already modified game (to keep some of existing modifications or previous patch) (UPDATE)

For advanced users, modders or developers, I've just open-sourced project on Github platform: djey47/tdu-cp · GitHub

That will provide wiki, project status, bug tracking, ability to express feature requests etc.

 

Changes in latest release:

Releases · djey47/tdu-cp · GitHub

 

Feature wishes:

• On-demand feature selector
• Provides new camera sets, totalizing 300+ cameras for mods requiring view adjusting
• Fix missing World zones (aka 'car falling into the void')
• Populate fixed World zones with new roads / tracks
• Provide telemetry via shared memory file (might be implemented in Project Paradise)
• Fanaled API support
• Sound enhancements (brakes, turbo, air friction ....)
• GFX enhancements (road textures, car light flares, grass, sand, water ...)
• Unlock new traffic cars (if harmless)
• Replaced traffic cars with real and more accurate models
• Remove limitations on getting reward cars (player may buy only one W12 cab / coupe , etc.)
• ... ?

 

General requirements

• TDU 1.66 + Megapack, Gold, or 1.67 and newer
• TDUCP will NOT work on par Milli's Patch or similar projects: consider having 2 separate TDU installs if you wanna get TDUCP whatsoever
• Archive extractor (WinRAR, 7-Zip ...)
• TDUF/TDUMT/TDUPE must be working.

Requirements for TDUMT

TDUCP requires your TDUMT installation to be upgraded :

• use latest TDUMT version (current is 1.16.3)
• Vehicle slots XML file matching patch contents (included)

See Djey : TDU Modding Tools [1.16.2+] | turboduck forum for details.

 

 

Final releases

• Choose either FULL or UPDATE version to apply to your game (FULL will clear your changes and make your game cleaner, UPDATE will keep your changes)
• I advise you to make backups of entire game directory!
• Download links (TDUCP):
  • UPDATE: Download TDUCP 2.00A R3
  • FULL: Download TDUCP 2.00A R3

Alpha/Beta releases

None atm

Awesome features ! Very impressive ! If you need any help feel free to PM me ;) Looking for it good luck ! :D

[COMB@T_$HOTGUN]

Damnnnn:wtf::wtf: M8 great job, i cant wait,

 

If u need a tester im ur man :hello:

[Djey]

Thanks, sure I will need help on almost everything ... that's probably one of my most important projects down here :)

 

Now TDUF-0.5 is out, I'll start on this.

[Hypercycle]

Offtopic - what copy of TDU i need for 100% compability to mods? (I remember problems with european TDU Gold...)?

 

UPD: Install TDU without russian translate, all patches works

[Naik Pahek]

Aight ..seems cool :)

I'll keep my eye on this

[Djey]

Hi,

I have not been able to get further in the last days so no exciting news really! But this project is still alive :)

 

I've just added a new feature in first post, this patch will give you even more vehicle slots. Can't tell how much for now, but I'd like to put at least twice - 3 times the current count, if game accepts it.

 

Fingers crossed.

[Shepard91]

The most serious issue of TDU1 in single player is collisions with hidden police cars, that make the game almost unplayable, has it been fixed with this patch?

[Oberkauz]

this bug is fixed since patch 1.66a or 1.68b, i think.

[Oberkauz]

hey Djey, do you have a wip status or a release date for us.

the features sounds delicious :D

[Djey]

No, not yet. To forge the patch I need more tools.

 

So first priority is to develop those tools (TDUF etc.).

[Oberkauz]

alrigth, take your time :)

[Djey]

yop guys,

as tools are almost ready, time to get back to this.

 

To speed up, I will concentrate on making a full patch to override freshly installed game. An update version would come up later eventually.

 

I think it's good that beta versions to be released frequently to get community's feedback and keep you informed ;)

 

 

So... let's go!

:ty: and :bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow:

 

can't wait to see that patch!

[Neddo]

Will you include DLC that was never made available to PC? I mean that 350Z Roadster, Solstice, Dino 246 GTS, Cadillac Sixteen, A4 DTM, Triumph Dayton 995i and Diablo GT. And PS2 has interesting traffic cars. See IGCD.net: Vehicles/Cars list for Test Drive Unlimited for some vehicles missing from PC.

[-=[(ELVIS)]=-]

Yeah really nice Djey. :woot:

Great to see you back on your awesome patch. :)

[Djey]

Thanks @all

 

IGCD.net: Vehicles/Cars list for Test Drive Unlimited[/url] for some vehicles missing from PC.

Discussion has been made before, that would be great indeed.

 

But: we still lack most of 3D models, rims, huds and sounds for those awesome cars. They don't exist as mods properly (no rip tool has been made to get them out of xbox disc). Moreover, I prefer letting people the choice of the mods they want to use.

 

Originally, they will look and work like default cars/bikes.

So, as the CP 2.00A will be using latest modding features, you will get :

 

- ALL slots enabled for these cars (+ hidden ones!) with default physics/information, located in right dealer spots.

 

- NEW slots to install even more mods onto your game (cf. Tob-Racer's projects). As they won't appear in dealer spots, you'll have to use TDUMT to put them at location of your choice.

[Guest sourkho]

If i install this TDU Community Patch 2.00A do i need to reinstall my 426 cars again?:confused: i have allready car dealer slots maximized and now i need more deafult garage/car dealers slots to put some more cars :crackup:

[Djey]

Hi.

 

If you apply the first version of this pack 'FULL EDITION', yes you will have all your slots lost. And that's because it's intended to be set onto a fresh game.

 

But if all succeeds there will be an 'UPDATE EDITION' as well (coming later, as explained in first post).

[Yours Truly]

I have rather extreme curiosity when reading that one of your predicted patches will be "G27 support." I know that this means the Logitech G27, but what fix could that possibly mean?

 

As far as I know, there was a small fix somewhere around the forums that fixed the force feedback lost, or in better words, removed in 1.66a. Could it be that this has to do with the LED lights on the front of the column, or is there some other problem I haven't noted that needs to be fixed?

 

A great start - but don't expect any work to be done soon. That goes to the creator and the consumers. ;)

 

Cheers! :D

[Djey]

You're right, that's the one and only G27 fix, which has been made by Speeder and Lean.

I've got no G27 at home to test, but I can read on the readme a 'fix feedback and also LEDs' thing, so it must be about the lights on the front. As you said.

 

Beta 0 of this patch is coming, slowly but this is real. Please note it will be a full edition at the moment (will replace files).

[Ryzza5]

Sounds great. Could I possibly request that traffic vehicle changes are not included by default? Cruises were often spoiled by some players playing with 1.68b and some not, where the former had longer traffic vehicles, and the latter would crash into the empty space behind a regular traffic vehicle.

 

If you'd like me to look into configuring an installer for the patch let me know.

[Djey]

Sure,

patch 2.00A does not alter traffic behaviour as 1.68b did. It's in feature list.

Patched files will include same configuration as TDU 1.66 Megapack.

 

People who still want this behaviour may always 'patch the patch' by themselves afterwards. But I don't think they are too many ;)

[Ryzza5]

Thought/hoped so, but then wasn't sure when I saw the inherited 'add new traffic' feature.

[Djey]

Right, I will add details to new traffic item, that's basically re-adding initially disabled vehicles to traffic lot :)

 

Anyway, if newer ones don't make it they will stay disabled.
