Ooooh finally an update, I was watching this tread and keep pushing F5 every day since the last pic, this will be EPIC!! - just like your Merc. It's beautiful, I love it! +rep

If it's true, these will be the follow-up models:

Mercedes Benz 600 (W100)

Volkswagen Kombi

Jeep Gladiator

some PeterBilt truck

Chrysler NewYorker

I can't wait for it, almost unbelievable.

OMG OMG OMG FINALLY!!! I Love you! :)

Please can you remove the original copies of the files from the download please. You aren't allowed to upload original game files and post them here.

 

Thanks.

Fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience, I guess I go learn the Terms of Use by now.

This little modification makes the wind speed to zero, the trees, bushes, electronic wires and anything else that reacts to wind will stay calm, no movement at all, the CPU don't have to calculate their spot all the time, saving some FPS for not so powerful computers. To make the procedure complete, remove the "Papers.bnk" and "Birds.bnk" files from the "...\Euro\Bnk\Details" folder, so no birds and litters/leafs will flying on the streets. The game won't crash without these files, so you can cut and backup or delete them at all.

Copypaste Weather_HDRI into "...\Euro\Bnk\FX" overwrite the existing and you're done.

Remember to backup your original file.

*important note:

----------------

This release is inspired by Carda's "Standard weather mod without winds" and originally done by him, it's just the HDR version of it. If you play TDU without HDR, download his file.

Brilliant, beautiful, congratulations and thanks!!

(One bug, if it's only at me than watch this pointless, so when you choose the color at the car dealer the camera looks on the building's top, like i would wanna see the lightbulb above my head through the sunroof. So I can't see the color at the moment of choosing it, just after. I used the simple sport version istaller, nothing else, have the 1.67 on my game, it may has affect on it, the original Chevrolet dealer is with the Saturn, 1.67 separates them, maybe this affects it. Not a big deal btw, I was just thinking about it to let you know.)

Nice work!

I'd like to get the NV version, but Mediafire links are both vinyl version and RapidShare says "Currently a lot of users are downloading files. Please try again in 2 minutes or become a Premium member" for 3-4 days now. Please fix the links, or make a FileFront one. Thank you in advance!!

Thanks Ken & Tool! Very great job!

(hope the Kia K7 gets to this point soon)

I would like to make all TDU with G class and environment with it, meaning full mod will be not only traffic cars :)

 

I am fan of classic cars but I've some plans with recent cars too... ;)

If you are serious with it, I fell in love with you!

In this form, I don't really like it, the sound has an annoying subnoise that not really should be there, but I hear the Audi-ish roaring out of it, a little bit more work would worth it!!

Thank you btw :)

Yes, I know, that's not what I meant. But anyway, wouldn't it be easy to just go into the HDR weather file and do what Carda did?

You're right, I guess it's possible, but there are a lot of these blocks, for each different weather condition and I tried, but somehow I can't save the file, if I change values.

Why would wind effect HDR in any way? :confused:

TDU uses these 2 files to change between HDR and normal graphic options, these files includes the "how's the sun reflects from your car" options too, like the wind speed and so on.

1 block for example seems like this:

But if you download the file from this thread and change it with the original one, you can see it has effect only on nonHDR mode. Just try it, turn on HDR and wind will blow, wires and trees will move and so on.

Well you can find two files at \Euro\Bnk\FX named "Weather" and "Weather_HDRI" depends on you using HDR or not, open it with a text editor, and you can see tons of gadgets. These files includes like a hundred of blocks for each weather type in TDU, for different sun standings and so on. You can see a line for example "WINDSPEED = 9.27067" in every block.

AND NOW, BEFORE YOU BLAME ME!! It's just a tip, I don't need stronger winds I never tried this and I don't want too, but I guess MAKE A SAFE COPY of the HDR or ninHDR version you're going to edit, then make some try with writing higher values for it.

It might worth it, good luck!!

Carda, can you make a HDR-version of this no-wind-mod please?

Because as we can see it's only for them who's not using HDR! :)

You can remove the "birds.bnk" and "papers.bnk" (or whatever they are, I don't remember I deleted them also) to increase your fps. So your CPU won't have to calculate these objects. Game won't crash for this. (but make copy of them if anything goes bad, I won't take responsibility, you know...) Only the "RoadPatch.bnk" have to stay there.

Woow seems to be just perfect, great work!

Thanks, great! :)

Thanks, great! :)

Thanks, good work!

That looks good, keep goin I'm waiting for this!

Thanks, pretty good!

Grat work (as always) thank you!

Thanks, beautiful!

That actually sounds pretty close to the R8's V8 in my opinion.

That's the sound mod I'm using for this car by now, but it's not that Alfa 8C sound, if you watch for some videos about the 8C on the *Tube, you know what I'm talkin' about.

BTW thanks for the tip, I really appreciate it!
