TDUCk HF Garage TDULOG :: Test Drive Unlimited tdu.net.ru Drivers-paradise 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. - Original copy of TDU installed - CPU: Pentium 4/Athlon XP or better - CPU SPEED: 3 GHz - RAM: 2 GB - OS: Windows 2000/XP and above - VIDEO CARD: 512MB Video Card with Pixel & Vertex Shader 2.0 (NVIDIA GeForce 7600+ / ATI Radeon X1600+) - TOTAL VIDEO RAM: 512 MB - 3D: Yes - HARDWARE T&L: Yes - PIXEL SHADER: 3.0 - VERTEX SHADER: 3.0 - DIRECTX VERSION: DirectX 9.0c included - SOUND CARD: Yes - FREE DISK SPACE: 18 GB - Additional Google Drive link ---> Update Patch 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.

Definetly not adding that garbage. Also, we can beat them easily already.

hi guys happy new year some updates about PD I finally settled on an approach on how to render ambient occlusion. VCAO is out. Traditional mapped way it is, but seperated per channel so the impact on drawcalls during customisation by switching in between different textures in runtime is not so high Also all of the modeled parts are now fully mapped and functional. Missing some bumpers and side skirts but thats nothing major. a task of 2 days. constantly adding new wheels since they're so easy to do. Takes literally an hour from scratch. It's fast. Reincarnated the function of glow masks for solid materials. Eg. light shine reflection on plastics etc. without use of physical lights. Saves performance dramatically, yet looking insanely good. Next up is probably importing a proper interior model and creating leather and interior materials. Still have to figure out a way how to render interior reflections. Also need to create a pause menu and, most importantly, settings. My friends beta tested this build and pointed out they needed it. UI still needs to be continued in general. Everything works via debug but isn't pretty yet. Steam integration stopped working. Idk why. Need to find that out. Environment still temporary, however maybe I'll detail it in future, idk. Also, scratched the idea of giving the ability to select a stretch tire look by sliders. It just didn't work with my approach. Maybe I'll do it like the latest NFS and just give options on which kind of tire to apply. Regular, Drag, Drift/Tuner/Stretch. Taking shape. A lot to do, but taking shape.

yup i had the same idea but it doesnt help .... (change AD settings in game) , i try it once more today :) , and it is normal when i play and gae say : 34 players and i see only 8 for example ? , or it is problem with ports ? some players is smooth riding without any lags , and there are any official races ? or only freeride ? , anyway i like this mod :) better game experience then single player :)

Yep all the patches are compatible ;)

There u go Has been said a few times now Plz remember guys this thread is ONLY ABAUT THE Project-Paradise patch and all its other features ;), just saying

You'll be able to set 3 level (low,mid,high) of fuel consumption and the fuel tank capacity for each slot id available in your database (and the global configuration applied to every slot as well). :D

Try download tduclient.rar from the first page, put the dll file in TDU directory (overwrite if it asks), then go ingame, make sure GameSpy box is ticked and try and sign in.

we should organize Balkan players cruise...if you want off course:D

I agree with Dux, yesterday I had faster cruise, around 200 kph, and traffic car goes like idiots from left to right side and from right to left side, I mean they change lane in like second or two and that is sometimes annoying and ends up with crash...

Thanks mate. :) I want to play a little with traffic cars, i know its not interesting much but ok . :D

Yes it works, but 5 minutes is just a little time. Try to drive around like 50 miles - 80km.

Amazing things doesn't always comes from the biggest gift box.

Cops were disabled in online free ride, even in the original game. Invisible cop car sounds like some issues with the traffic patch (in the 1.68). You could use the Vsync option if you get weird AI behavior (it can sometimes help). :)

Because lazy people, thats why :D A good installer can install car, rims, sound hud physics in few clicks in like 10 seconds, copying takes more time and effort.

Or just export the map from The Crew and import it into TDU1 :nuts:

Wouldn't a better idea be to try and help them discover what is causing it rather than an immediate revert?

hey Speeder, v0.03A works fine,everything is great,my game do not crash like in 0.01 and I like improvement with online players because I now can see many players on the map... :cheers: and :ty:

Just to ask if TDU 1 beta had exclusive/different features? When we'll be able to race offline and online in hardcore mode? Just imagine island tour with it?

Don't forget that SP challenges typically are not available in Hardcore mode ;)

Have a look in the ReadMe.txt file that you downloaded. You need to add the -fuel parameter to the shortcut target.

Force it in launch options with -vsync and it should alleviate the problem.

:duckdance:

Just played TDU multiplayer for the first time in 2 years, it was freaking awesome. Great job guys, and Milli for her fuel gauges :nods: Now we just need to organise a proper cruise of Tduckers, the only person I knew online today was [email protected] :lol:

It's self-refueling when you turn off your car and turn it on again :) Would be cool if that would be like this in real life tho :cheeky:

A new or backed up Online (gamespy) account is required. Except it's not actually connecting to Gamespy

Drive in cockpit view... problem solved :cheeky:

I highly recommend anyone who is currently testing to update manually (download from the usual link) to the latest update so that we can be sure how stable is it (and also if it is really glitchless or if there are still stuff to fix). Plus you'll have the ability to play with the fuel mode (using -fuel as launch option). :p

I got my money on the night of the trade glitch (the server purchased all cars for 10mil, so I put almost my entire collection up for sale).

But they're so cute! :lol: Like a real car! Look: :lol:

Awesome work Milli. 2nd digital one is better but I'd make it slightly thinner to match the speedo font... And maybe place it under the speed. Keep the middle of the screen as empty as possible. Depending on the if the fuel depletion is accurate or scaled (or if you're driving a Ford GT) the warning light might come on too late to find a petrol station :)

It was supposed to be done, but after spending hours I didn't find a way to get this working correctly (or it was working for half of the map, the other half was completely messed-up). People I asked about that said it wasn't a priority so I left that for the moment. :p You might probably already know, but there is some delay with the public release (there are issues with the lastest version we made that are kinda complicated to fix and I didnt have much time to work on the project last week for myself...). Anyway fuel should be included for the first public release. :) If there are talented graphic designers in UI element (and who would like to participate) feel free to send your UI concepts by PM. (for the fuel gauge if you didnt understand yet :D)
