WROOM : New Road Texture Mods [Tutorials]

Ryzza5 · August 29, 2008

When you have everything sorted, try putting the new road lines on the original road surface - it's the best of both worlds. Kudo's for working out how to change the road surface and all that, but it's still fair to say it's not at the same standard as the original and probably looks reminiscent of the original Test Drive game :)

Iced - surely you'd just get them to reinstall TDU rather then upload those huge files (let alone I don't think it's legal to upload those files)

I agree, original road surface + new lines = The best!

But yeah the new roads were amazing to start with, but then I reinstalled and fell in love with the new ones again. But with the new markings, you're allowed to overtake more oftern ;)

Iced - surely you'd just get them to reinstall TDU rather then upload those huge files (let alone I don't think it's legal to upload those files)

Reinstalling means loosing all the mods. And what's the difference to uploading those files to the new line .2db? It includes original one, created by Eden files, too ....

Hell, it's not even legal for us to be modding TDU in the first place!

Ryzza5 · August 29, 2008

Yeah I know what you mean - my main idea was that a dev would be more likely to get upset at someone who uploaded a large portion of their work than just tiny useless tid-bits

Iced_Bullet · August 29, 2008

I will remove it when he downloads it, I always do =]

me23 · August 29, 2008

Thanks Iced, downloading again :). And Ryzza, I've tryed re-installing it, and for some odd, odd reason the roads stayed modded.. I liked the new lines, yeh. Just that I thought the original roads fitted the character of the game more.. Not sure why, just does :)

Ok, finished downloading now :).

Could I just ask, how do you get it all back then? I'm pretty sure I know how, but I'd rather check than do something wrong.

Put them in the folder you show here:

me23 · August 29, 2008

I did that but they still all look like the modded roads!

EDIT: Never mind, got it to work. I thought you had to copy and paste the BNK itself, but you have to extract the files from each BNK and do what you did to get it in the first place.

It looks a bit patchy when I'm moving though.. Any ideas?

Iced_Bullet · August 29, 2008

I'm guessing you've installed it twice ... seeing as the date in the screenshot shows it to actually already be the original unmodified file. Try double clicking the testdriveunlimited.exe from here: C:\Program Files\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited. Not from your start menu or desktop.

I just tested the V3.0 roads...at first I thought they looked a bit too fake but man it's a real pleasure to drive in the mountains now that it's much smoother!

Thanks, great work WROOM

ahz4i · February 21, 2009

hi, ive downloaded v3.0 of this mod, installed it using the BNKeditor and all. i booted up TDU and it seems the road hasn't changed at all, and in fact its rather patchy. what's wrong?

Iced_Bullet · February 21, 2009

Did you do the last stage:

5. Don't forget to DOWNLOAD "New Roads v3.0 FIX" it's important for

roads to not look "patchy", and rename folder "Details" to "Details_bak"

Shy Guy · February 21, 2009

Why are the crossroads darker than the road colour, I downloaded the Crossroad patch and it doesn't work :(

lotux · February 27, 2009

(srry for bad engish)

CJZporsche · May 3, 2009

thanks for share

I like light-colored

Light-colored mod that have it ? thanks

Ferrari-F40-Fan · May 6, 2009

Cool. But why you dind't release a finished Folder or File? Then nobody need to do it forhimself ;) For some peoples - like me - isn't this easy ;)

So Please make oneFile and release it ;)

T1M · June 9, 2009

Sorry for the bump:

When I take the commonworld files (both) from my backups and over-write the modded road files, it still has the modded texture. Help?

itchy_johnson · July 5, 2009

Try from here (Same thing, I just reuploaded it)

[Download 'New_Roads_v3.0.rar']

[Download 'New_Roads_v3.0_FIX.rar']

Thanks for the extra links.

Does v3.0.rar include the 2.1 version or do we have to bnk the 2.1 stuf before using 3.0.rar + 3.0_Fix?

Impala SS · July 23, 2009

yeah Iced_Bullet thanks for the links!!!

cerespk91 · July 23, 2009

Zsolesz89 · July 25, 2009

Hi

You would send it to me the double yellow bisector line 2db the name of a file?
