Time to re-discover the island of Oahu.

TDU Platinum pursue the objective to be more than a collection of many different mods in a pack, the objective is to deliver a whole new experience, a whole new way to play with endless possibilities to choose at your own demand, ready to go.

The work being done is beyond the gathering of different vehicles, sounds and gauges from different online websites and packing them together, it goes further to new physics, brand new weather, compatible with HDiR, new world textures and also new music for background and radio statios.

Without everyone, TDU Platinum wouldn't be anything more than a dream, so, all those people deserve a round of applause and we'll meet somewhere in Hawaii.

👍👍👍👍

-Always remember to make a backup of your game before you perform any modification.

- For existing profiles, it's recommended to sell your vehicles and stay only with an Alfa Romeo GT BEFORE you install TDU Platinum. 

- If you're not feeling like selling all vehicles, just drive off the house with an Alfa Romeo GT BEFORE you install TDU Platinum, but this method might crash your game once you check some vehicles in the garage.

  Q. Why does some vehicles display an absurd Top Speed?

That's because how TDU was codded. Sadly, to get the gear ratios to work as they should, you must set the car's Top Speed as the top gear speed. Which means, the maximum speed that the final gear could achieve, regardless of it's power or drag. Usually, vehicles that have an "Overdrive gear" will display absurd values, since the last gear is really long, with the porpouse of fuel saving.

 

 Q. Ok, but why it is actually the Top Speed value is lower than the final gear speed?

That's because TDU, by standard, adds around 10% more top speed. So, if a car final gear speed is 330 km/h, if you set as 300 km/h, in-game the car will reach 330 km/h. Now, if you set 330 km/h, the car will actually be faster than it should, and will reach 363 km/h.

Deducting 10% of the speed makes not only the final gear accurate, but every gear will top at the correct speed, if your gear ratios are correct, which means the speed you need to shift will also be accurate.

 

Q. Why the car classes are broken and i have overpowered vehicles for it's class?

Because that was the easiest way i found to get these high-power tunes and keep the game "easily moddable".  TDU will only understand a car class change if it reads a new entry on the database. That being said, i would need 4 entries in the car database, for 1 single vehicle, 1 entry being it stock, and 1 new entry for each tune kit.  That means instead of 880 vehicles, i would need at least 3520.  Not to mention that if someone decides to modify that 1 vehicle, they will need to modify the tuning its aswell.  
That not only means it would take a long time, but that it would make the game much more complex to be modded, so i used the original upgrade system, that's based on % increase of the base vehicle, but sadly, it doesn't support class changes.

 

 Q. The traffic in my game is being glitchy and invisible, what do i do?

In the Project Paradise Laucher, make sure to enable V-Sync, to lock your fps to 60. The game won't do well with higher fps.

 

 Q. The game is displaying too much brightness, what i did wrong?

Usually the dealerships display a higher brightness than the road environment. But also, that could be caused by FX Tweak being enabled in Project Paradise Launcher. TDU Platinum weather system was developed to not require FX Tweak, if you enable it in the launcher, it may override the weather files.

 

 Q. The physics have been changed, but they seem the same?

That's because the physics engine is the same, but TDU allows each car to have their individual physics worked on, and that's what's been changed. To match real data, because TDU has messed it up even on the original game.

 

 Q. TDUPE is not working?

Yes it is, but unfortunately i've stumbled across an issue i thought i would have. This issue happens when the database has over a thousand entries, which is the case, since TDU Platinum's database has 1105 entries. So, to use TDUPE, you must follow these steps:

  • To run TDUPE, you must open it as admin.
  • Point your TDU database directory in the settings and click load.
  • Once it has loaded the database, search for the Custom Car you replaced in the car list.
  • Modify and Click save. (That is when the problem starts.)
  • Because TDUPE can't deal with more than 1000 entries in the database, it will make the game crash, to fix that issue, you must open TDU Modding Tools File Browser.
  • Extract the CarPhysicsData.db, located inside the DB.bnk.
  • Decrypt CarPhysicsData.db using TDU UT (this tool i did not provided, but it can be found on the forums)
  • Open it using notepad and set the number of "Items" as 1105, save and close.
  • Encrypt the file again, using TDU UT.
  • Replace the new CarPhysicsData.db inside the DB.bnk.

 

   Q. Do i need the game or this is a standalone game?

No! You need the game first, this is a mod and won't work on it's own.

Guys, progress is happening, at slow pace, since i have even less free time, but TDU Platinum v2.0 (a.k.a former update 1.13 that grew enough to be called v2.0) is happening.

For sure one of the the biggest modding project for a driving game. Thanks for this Milli.

 

At the beggining of car modding in 2008, I could not imagine the game would bear and receive such improvements. That's a tribute to this fantastic game, for its 11th birthday.

 

The effort in reverse enginneering the game had a price, now time is for a reward for everyone involved and enthusiasts. Such an epic adventure!

Logged in after who knows how long, years maybe.

Watched a video and i must say it looks great and promising.

I wish you good luck with your work and have fun.

I hope all goes well and i will be happy to get it once its out.

Your ultra community pack is great and i was using it since few moths ago when i stopped playing TDU but i will start playing this again when this is out.

After 11 years it really show how great game it is.

 

Only one question, if i got it right from the description, this gonna be even bigger and better mod than ultra community pack?

I mean beside having much more cars.

New cars don't surprise me anymore, Milli, please add new events. Obrigato Milli and the mod team :D :D

We need more races in A7. A8, A6, A5 classes to enjoy all the cars. Please make more races :D

That is not possible.

 

And if it doesn't surprise you anymore, feel free to not download or try to make it yourself, maybe your view would change. ;)

Will it mod traffic vehicles also ?

Otherwise, I think enhanced traffic vehicles (with real models) will suit Platinum improvements better.

 

Maybe a (free) DLC later ? :D

 

Thanks anyway.

 

At the moment no, it won't. Mostly because it might get heavier for weak computer and also, because there are no real up-to-date traffic car mods, unless you want everyone driving a Supra around. :lol:
