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.

Yes, just duplicate the game folder before installing platinum and make another desktop shortcut if desired.

I've got bad news, my game crashes when I edited any races in race editor with using range of class

For anyone that have 2 very common bugs (shifting gears and ghosting cars on track).. man... i FINALLY found how to FIX the shifting gear problem and Ghost cars !! .. you JUST need to CAP framrate at 89 or 90. Don't go over 90 and you will be fine.. omg.. for so many years i search to fix this... and i just wanted to tell everybody. Why is this fixing? because the game runes on a frame basis rather than time basis. This means the AI calculations are based on how fast your CPU is rather than basing it on a fixed time interval.

Thank you so much for this! Quick question though, is there a way to increase the money?

Saddly, there's only two cars who have been converted for TDU: the Solstice and the Diablo GT. You gonna have trouble to find these cars because there links to download it are dead, but if you want I can send it to you by PM ;) Also After some research in Bnks, TDUPE and TDUMT, there some other cars that Atari never include in the PC version but you can still get them, these too has been converted: - AC 427 (Shelby Cobra 427S/C) - Chevy Cobalt SS - Chevy Corvette C2 Stingray '63 - Citroën 2CV - Infiniti G35 - Maserati Quattroporte - Mazda MX-5 Roadster - Mazda RX-8 - Pontiac GTO "The Judge", - Wiesmann MF5 GT Once again, some mods are impossible to find. You can ask me if you want one of these :D

It's not so hard to ask google: https://hf-garage.ru/files/mody_dlja_test_drive_unlimited/lotus/1990_lotus_carlton/148-1-0-2414

Yeah same for me, I just set the races to have no restrictions. Much safer.

Hello, First I want to say I realt appreciate the TDU Platinum and have already well over 35 hours with a lots of problems and now its unplayble and wonder if somebody know the problems? They are way to many problems to count, but some crucial problems I realy want to be solved: The game is getting totalt fucked up driving the R34 mines (see picture below) and the delivery mission is not possible to get finished, once I finish the game crashes, same thing with AE86 mission and 5-6 races including tour the island is not even possible to start and the game will just crash. But without the platinum it start without any problems. Also the traffic cars and the trucks are very buggy. I have tried a multiple of vanilla versions of TDU but the problems are similar, with some differences.. for example some race/delivery was possible to drive.. the R34 mines delivery mission the game will always be fucked up at the exact same location, 17km on one version and 23km on some other. Even driving the car its self will the game sooner or later be fucked up.. but driving many other cars is no problem . It is any possible solution?

With game version is comparable with this mod? I dont use steam or anything I read somewhere about some with similar problems and some 4GB exes folder helped, but I cannot find it in any if my tdu platinum versions, it is possible to get it somewhere? I tried some exe i founded here on turbo duck but it was no difference

Will there be a update to TDU Platinum?

So, I attempted and installed TDU on my PC. I used an appropriate crack to remove the DRM, and am faced with this issue. The screen immediately turns to black without the intro playing at all, and stays that way indefinitely. I have to somehow dig my way through task manager without looking at it to end this task since I can't alt-tab out of this. Of all the bugs that TDU has with Windows 10, I don't see anything about this! Anyone know what's going on? EDIT: I FIXED IT. IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH REALTEK. THIS WILL BE HELPFUL TO EVERYONE WHO IS USING A PC WITH REALTEK AUDIO DRIVERS. TELL EVERYONE THIS FIX IF THEY FACE THIS STRANGE ISSUE. So, if you use a motherboard that uses Realtek as its on-board audio, first of all, avoid getting one with Realtek ever again as many games including Hotline Miami and Katana Zero hate Realtek, and second of all, the problem lies in your audio output. When you change your volume, you will face the option of picking out several audio outputs. CHOOSE THE "Realtek HD Audio 2 Output" OPTION. That is usually the computer's default audio output. TDU only recognizes this and will refuse to budge if it doesn't detect it. If that doesn't work, try the other output options. I'm sure you're bound to find the correct option. Hope this fix helps you out. p.s. just ignore the music if you'd like

good link

Try disabling the "Read-only" option in the document folder. This may help

so i just installed the tdu platinum mod and it simply won't save my profile. i tried to both check and uncheck the box for gamespy, to complete the tutorial etc. yet i dont even have a savegame folder. what else should i try?

encountering the same issue rn man (you can check the post on my profile). have you figured it out?

Already done

Look at first posting at the end, but only 412 are listed by name, further 470 vehicles are hidden to motivate people to explore the game.

I have tried, it so much more problems than graphics with some cerian cars. Why it is no problem to driving other cars and the original game without any issues? I coud play my first 10 hours with other cars without any issues.

just his car, and it looks like a symbolic socket disconnected like this -//- just his car, and it looks like a symbolic socket disconnected like this -//-

Hey bro, help me, I downloaded Project Paradise to play online, but my friend has a white name and it keeps blocking his car

A few of us from the official TDU Europe forums contributed our fav's from the 'TDU Desktop Wallpaper' thread to make this Windows 7 Themepack file. You can download the pack from here, double-click on it to install it. The Desktop Wallpaper thread is here if you want to take a look at the pics. Thanks to Bimmer, Pogostickio, Dustwave, Andreaz, Andrius, Kelvyj and others who contributed pics.

This is work if i had TDU platinum?

usually thats normal car behaviour. Last gear is the efficiency gear, so the car drives at max speed with lower rpm. thats the case with most (sports)cars in the recent years with 7+ gears.

Depends on the car. Some vehicles have "overdrive" gears, which are meant to be used to save fuel in cruise speeds. A few to name are Dodge Viper and Corvette Z06. Dodge Ram SRT-10...

I have used another connection and used vpn and nothing has changed

Hello! Is it correct when i switch to the 7th gear and the car doesn't pick up speed, like on the 6th gear you can drive faster than on the 7th. Is this how it should be?

im stuck on the loading please wait screen

It toggles if the camera should pan left/right gradually or immediately.

Some progress.

Introduction After editing by hand some sectors for the next update of Project Paradise, I thought it could be nice to create a proper map editor for TDU. After all, that's the only part of the game which has never been modded before. :) (and yes, next pp update should come soon, so less pm spam everyone thanks :twisted:) Description Even if it's called "Editor", this tool is a toolbox to export your files in your favorite 3D editor (maya, 3DS max, blender,... any editor as long as it's compatible with .obj) and obviously do the opposite. :p This choice as been made simply because I didn't want to make the usage of a cheap and badly written 3D editor an obligation. :D .obj has a pretty basic structure making easy to build an object from nothing. Features Heightmap Creation/Import/Export Material Editor World Objects Creation/Import/Export Road Collision Support (Havok *-R.shk) World Collision Support (Havok *.shk) Entities Management Soundscape Edition Wire Editor Map Network Editor Security Ramp Editor Green: done / almost done Orange: in progress Brown: just started / researches Red: todo Screenshots Terrain Edition Fast and clean heightmap edition (note: only the Y-axis is used by the game) Untextured/Textured heightmap World Object Edition Imported Untextured Object from a *-O.3DG (some oil station) Imported Road Network from a -O.3DG with a bit of Havok vertex (yellow dots) Terrain, world objects, havok collision mesh Havok Mesh in Editor, Havok Mesh Exported to TDU (early test) Custom low poly mesh (edited plane) exported as Havok Collision Mesh World Object Import (W.I.P.)

A brazen question is due, I guess (and my apologies, in case): would that be added to TDU World one of these days? @Ramon: mate, I have relaized how hard had been your work when I started installing this mod. "Top notch" indeeed, and hats off to you! With best compliments and regards.

buy alfa GT, quit game, open TDUPE, open alfa GT, set price to 2 billion, save, go to tdu, sell the alfa, done. optional: change back the price in TDUPE to vanilla

Don't know if you're still looking for a way to increase the money but by default with this savegame when you start it from the download, you should have every house on the island. I'd recommend selling off a few houses to get some more money, as you only start with 1 car to begin with in your garage and realistically you don't need all the houses. Personally I only keep 4 houses. (One in each corner of the map.) The only other way to increase money is to fiddle around with a hex editor, but like Zoqqer says above this can lead to mistakes with dire consequences, if you don't know what you're doing.

With HEX editor perhaps. But it's easy to mess up. For online the simplest solution would be to start over the game. The usernames are unique so it's not possible to make this savegame online out of the box

Can this savegame can be converted into an online one ?

After deleting the radial.cdb file we would often create a folder with the same name (including .cdb). This would prevent the game from creating that file again. The file was never necessary but often caused game issues after some time.

Hello, I'll do my best to help. Try to delete the Test Drive Unlimited folder in Documents, then start TDU and create a profile and finish the tutorial (until you go to your house part). Then exit the game and copy and paste the profile folder in the newly created Documents TDU Folder. Another way is download this file and paste it in Documents > Test Drive Unlimited > savegame. Like Mr. Crimson said, backup all your profiles first before doing this. EDIT: New method is to try to delete radial.cdb in X: (Usually C:) > ProgramData > Test Drive Unlimited > Uncheck Hide Protected Operating System Files and Check Show Hidden Files to see radial.cdb in the folder > Delete > Start TDU and play the game (Playing the game creates new radial.cdb to fix profile problems.) ProfileList.dat

The ProfileData file needs to overwritten with this profile but make sure you backup all profiles and files in the savegame location. Should work then.

thanks! my bitdefender had a safe files option enabled that made is a read only file! ! it works now!

So i started playing tdu and tdu2 again but i got a problem! so when i want to save on TDU it saves but when i start the game it starts on the same exact spot before the save! TDU2 is a diffrent story because when i want to save it gives me a error thats says that i cannot save the game! i just have no clue what to do so im here to reach out to you guys to help me figure out this problem! ( yes i have reinstalled the game multiple times without succes!) tdu2 is steam version! non modded!

In that case, I will check the following things. - Is the "Read only" setting in the "Eden Games" folder in the document folder off? - Is there enough space on the HDD?

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X GSR Vehicle replaced: Aston V12 Vantage Converted by: StarGT & Dybel (caravto(.)com ) Screens and testing: StarGT,Dybel,osip4uker Credits: 3D Model, Wheels & Interior - Forza Features: -normal working car -completely synchronized HUD - interior/exterior !!!! -- DEAD LINK REMOVED --

;) Try this. A great mod for everyone ==> http://forum.turboduck.net/threads/19354-iLLusion-Island-Paradise-v095-Autumn-and-Winter-Add-On But I like to install 'The Lite' version. And you should copy folder <Testdriveunlimited\*> for backup before install any mods. :p

You're right but after all these years I still want Sixteen, Daytona, Solstice and especially Diablo. One more question, what are the best mods for old TDU besides 1.68b? --- Post Updated --- I would like those 2 cars you have. Can you send me the Solstice and Diablo?

DLC 6 for Xbox was made after PC (finally) received the MegaPack DLC, which was the only official DLC. We got a lot all that DLC a lot cheaper than Xbox players (don't forget they also had to pay for Hardcore mode) and as you said most of those cars have since been modded, plus we have loads of other mods that Xbox players missed out on, so don't feel too hard done by.

yes, thx, evo is very cool

One day I will remember that people still play this on the Xbox :)
