Djey: TDU Community PATCH 2.00A

[Umbo]

I'm back -- It worked perfectly :tup:

TDU's main menu screen shows the license plate 2.00A as the patch version. Cute!

Now I'm off to play -- I may have questions about this patch in the next days.

 

Thank you once more for the assistance :)

[Umbo]

Back again o_O

a few years ago I shelved this game because of problems I couldn't cope with. Patch 2.00a appears to have fixed most of them -- for which I'm grateful! :notworthy:

 

In the past hours I've resumed my old saved game, to test whether the problems were gone completely.

I had left 6 (six) car delivery challenges undone because I couldn't score a Perfect in them, due to the car taking damage along the road.

With patch 2.00a I've played those challenges, getting a Perfect in each... except one.

 

type: Car Delivery

name: Kevin

car: Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing

(car color: silver-gray)

 

Starting at ~12.3 Km (or 7.5 Miles) from destination, immediately after crossing a 'Y' junction where the road is flat, there are lots of spots where the car takes minuscule amounts of damage. Driving at low speed (70 Km/h or ~43.5 mph)..., staying well inside the asphalt strip..., attempting to drive on the left side of the road... is no use. It's as if the car goes off-road for a moment.

 

With this save I'm playing at Expert level. Kevin is the 26th and last Car Delivery challenge available to me, after which there'd be 4 more that I can't yet see.

Is there a fix or workaround for the problem?

 

Please? :(

[Djey]

Hi,

 

I think that it's due to very raw road layout in this video game: some collision occur when ground passes through the 3D road object - or road object has not been smoothed correctly! Thus vehicle is hurt when driving onto it.

 

The solution would be to fix those damaged places with World Editor... but we are way too far from doing this :cry:

 

Otherwise, you could tune 300SL Merc physics in database and adjust ride height, suspensions to reduce shocks ... I'm not expert on this subject though.

(these tools may help you: TDU Performance Editor, or TDUF)

[Umbo]

Hello,

 

I'm not aware of the details of patch 2.00a, but whatever it's done it has positively affected those challenges that couldn't be completed with a Perfect.

Somehow the changes didn't apply to Kevin's challenge, though.

 

In the end I completed the challenge with a Perfect, but to do it I gave a wide berth to the suggested course (no!) to the whole mountain I was supposed to cross.

Instead of going West-South-West I went far off to the South-East, taking the highway until I hit the town.

From there I followed the GPS, which took me back, but now had me follow the coastline.

 

Believe me I drove fast, pedal-to-the-metal, highest gear, with little concern about the car's safety. Why, with such a long journey I was sure to take damage at some point -- but it didn't happen.

I think I ran for 120+ km, speeding across half the island back and forth -- and yet I preserved the car.

So the problem are definitely the roads, like you said, and raising the ride's height might solve the issue.

 

After Kevin's I was able to complete 2 more Car Deliveries. Now I'm at 28/30. The remaining 2 challenges aren't showing up.

 

Ciao ciao :)

(and goodnight!)

 

 

P.S. = what is TDUF?

[Milli]

 

P.S. = what is TDUF?

TDUF Toolset 1.12. The best tool to mod TDU. Takes a while to understand how to really use it, because it displays a lot of information, but once you do, it is really good.

[Djey]

Djey: TDUF Toolset [1.12]

 

Yes, TDUF brings many tools, including Database Editor. That's the very first graphical tool allowing to modify any item in TDU database.

 

TDUF is not easy to master, as it was as first destined to modders and researchers.

 

Concerning patch content itself, the only change which could affect collisions is the PATCH HD part (optional), which changes distance at which different objects will appear. But even with it I'm not sure :)

hey, you can share the carrera gt.obj? i need edit a bit in zmodeler...

[lecatoir]

Hello dears drivers, i'm pretty new to this forum (and in modding TDU on PC), really enjoy to see all the work done with this community patch.

Unfortunately I encoutered some stranges bugs in game and during the installation. In fact, I have the same problems as namek : 

During freeroaming, sometimes after 5 or 10 minutes to ride, all the traffic disapear, and then the game crash after the next save ( in general, it happened when i'm going back home and going to garage, or simply launch a race from the map). Strangely, i played almost 2 hours without any issues at the begining, and since i've bought a house in the nord section of the island, problems starts to appear.

Also during the installation of the HD Patch, the log display this after it say "all done" :

Any idea what is the origin of this "error" ? I tried mutliple reinstallation, compatibility mod, tweaks from the community, ... but nothing has work at this point. 

I'm running a legal copy with a nocd crack, on Windows 10 64bits Fammilly.

Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

PS : appologies for my bad writhing of english, been a long time since I wrothe something on the shakespeare language.

Can this be used ontop of Test Drive Unlimited Platinum? Or is it included in that already (the readme info does not say).

[Djey]

No, Platinum cannot be patched with 2.0 and has its own functioning.

2.0 offers a genuine game experience, with sandbox to add vehicle mods by yourself. As such, theyr are not compatible.

To enjoy best of both worlds, you should use 2 different TDU installs. But save games won't be fully compatible either. 

[ZG264]

ok thanks for the info :)

[Bastyan]

I dont understand the installation HELP MEEEEEEEEE

 

[Djey]

Please explain which steps you don't understand and (maybe) I will be of some help...

[Uncle Biba]

Can you reupload file into different place?

https://sharemods.com is extremely toxic shithole site!

[Djey]

Hi, sharemods is not worse than any other free dl hosting site. It has the advantage to provide better rate than some rapid gator like, which is welcome for bigger files. 

Generally it is not an issue when using Adblock extension or similar. What people do on sharemods (eg theft to make money on dls) is not my issue. The small amount of money I get there is less than nothing and allows me to buy a beer from time to time... 

Anyway I could host the files here as well, of course. Maybe I will in the coming days.

It is. This shithole of a hosting does not working with adblock and forcing it's users to shut it off to push it's ad-shit.

It's all yours now, man!) Choosing most toxic way to monetize your work making you an asshole

So go live with it.

Anyway, all of this relieves me all of responsibility, so i will rehost your file somewhere for a better availability for everyone and will use it in my torrent

Any tries to report or remove this post or file will make you more asshole

[Djey]

Wow, what a clever response from your part, and you dare using word ass hole in my direction ? I try to be honest at least and did not have any issue for years with anyone ... until you!  I fell like havng wasted my time trying to provide any kind of explanation to  someone like you.

Anyway thanks for the upload and the kind words. Now I'm crying. Happy?

Make 1% of the effort I've put for this community and we'll talk again. Maybe.

Oh, and please avoid insulting people who try their best to  consider others... world is not as huge as you think. Maybe one day you might need help along the roadside.

Kind regards

It is very clear that you have no appreciation for what the modders have done for those of us who do not know how to do it. They spend their time and effort, the least you could do is be grateful instead of insulting.

this is your first warning for cursing

I have went ahead and removed your link, what you said is disrespect to the developer

you have the right to choose to download or not download it, and they have right to choose however they want to distribute their work or even charge money for it

you're not entitled to demand how they going to deliver a product to you for free, if you don't like it, build it yourself

[MagicV8]

Damn, there is no icon like "You are a moron"

 

[Aquarious]

Funny thing is: there's nothing wrong with ShareMods. No low download speed limit and no waiting time either, also no issues with AdBlocker.

[Guest Isaac The Dad]

hey I wanted to say real quick that I appreciate the work that you've done, I am very thankful, both for HD mode and bugfixes

[KingLich]

Thanks a lot for doing this. I have a two problems.

1) Game  occasionally freezes right before starting a race. Happens about once or twice an hour.

2) I cannot install the HD patch, below is the attached log file
 

Much respect.

TDUCP-PATCHHD.log

[Djey]

Hi, I see 2 issues here:

- TDU gold, I could not test TDUCP on it so it might be a compatibility issue

- which operating system are you on? Because patch hd installer requires mono to be installed, and that's the case on Linux.
