Various: Day and Night Vision Mod [Tutorial]

[Iced_Bullet]

Night Mod Vision:

This allows you to have night within TDU. This has synronised weather, and also has the sun moving from east to west, and not moving up and down like the default.

*Important notes*

 

- It will take a few minutes for this change in the environment to occur, so be patient.

[Speedtouch]

[Andreas¹]

Nope.

[Rain93]

How can I use always the lights when is night? Do I block the button whit glue? :):)

Simple Answer is yes Lol.

 

There is no way to keep the lights on at all times aside from always holding down the button ;)

[Ringo_60013]

if you keep holding the lights button down, go into the options menu and click the headlights thing to change which button it is. keep the button held down until it says "waiting for neutral" then release the button. if done correctly and on a steering wheel or controller (haven't tried on a keyboard) the lights should turn off when you press the button. hope that makes sense :)

i still dont get this so i would like to have some comfirmation: is it night all the time or does it switch between the 2 automatically?? dl'ing if it switches when i get back to my PC ut otherwise its no use for me, but anyway very nice mod!!:thumbsup:

[Ryzza5]

Yes it does switch (one of the ini files has a number you can edit to speed up or slow down the time scale of day/night).

 

Some of my older night pics:

 

 

 

 

And some pics from when I was editing my own version of the weather files to see what effects I'd get:

[SBCriss]

Nice i like them =)

Do you have on thread with your pics?

[Ryzza5]

Those photos were taken a long time back on my old PC

Most of my photos are here. Sort by date to get the ones taken on my new PC down the bottom together. Use the DL links at the top left to get 1440x900 version. I otherwise post my pics to the official European TDU forum.

[xREVENTONx]

cool, It's good that it cycles slowly so it looks realistic, I always hate when the sun goes down then comes back up in the original setup. this is good,

 

TO keep the car lights on change the light key to the same one as the acceleration so when u accelerate the lights come on. just a thought.

[Ryzza5]

Well some of us actually use our brakes - we're not all n00bs in S7's :)

Also I don't want to be sending infinate ICR's to others in the area - I pretty much never use that feature anymore. It's rumored that all this stuff will be in the next TDU2 (which is a rumor in itself) so hopefully we'll get it this decade :)

[xREVENTONx]

Works, except some things are still white so it's easy to drive but their are always clouds which looks weird lol, It doesnt go nice and clear lol

[TDU Assasin]

not possible. One key has only ONE function so no.

[Jackief]

it will be night only, or somtimes it will be morning, and if it wont be night always how much night time/day time i have?

[Leadfoot[YT]]

it will be night only, or somtimes it will be morning, and if it wont be night always how much night time/day time i have?

 

There's very nice sunsets (two great places are the beach at the back of Ford Island and that lighthouse in the bottom right corner - great pics there, and great to watch). It gradually fades into night (and day), and you know those TOD things that are in Photomode? Well, cycling through that will bring a full rotation of day/night. :)

 

This is the version I have, at any rate. It's probably one of the ones mentioned...

 

Also, the legnth of the day/night cycle can be changed. :)

[aberrari]

Cant I make it only night time? For example, its night time out here in reality, so I would like to drive on a night time too, is it possible? And how do I change a time scale to make the day and night longer??? Importance is, how can I make it remain in night time??

[BeSweeet]

This is VERY cool!

Thanks mate, its cool,

 

One question:

When it goes into night time, the buildings and stuff are still bright, is it possible

to change that or would that need alot of texture work and access to the TDU Code?

[Ryzza5]

Turn HDR off

[BeSweeet]

I think it looks REALLY nice when the buildings are all bright when the sky is dark.

[watchtalker]

Oh OK, thanks for the great mod!
