Ichibu

good to hear ppl :) thought i might drop by and upload a couple new things first i make a little batch file to make it easy to load a config with only UpLauncher (still a pain in the ass but less than moving files around manually) second i upload my own personal settings, properly scaled for performance from Low to Very High some changes in resolutions and distances, should make for smoother gameplay without noticeable decrease of quality. and as always, shadow distance is increased that u cannot see them draw :) TDU2 Shadow Fix 3.rar recommend anyone who use my mod, but not No Shadows or Framerate fix only, to update to this one; it should be better happy gaming

theyre pullin a fast one!! took the DLC2 moneys and run off

i 2nd this motion also, anyone know what happened to the website and game server right now? they both gone :D

use on screen keyboard m8? not sure but u probably hold shift or alt while u click to simulate holding alt (for alt+enter)

what do u mean dumbed them down?

i dont kno wat ur all complaining about. i mean i find a lot of the cars insanely hard to drive but i think thats just realism. i use the TT roadster 24/7 with ps2 pad and i find it perfectly realistic and fun. it drives just like my uncles celica convertible but faster and GTA IV had absoluitely HORRIBLE handling by default. cars are not boats they shouldnt pitch like that and float around and junk think some of u needs to a) drive a real car and b) dont expect every game to be mastered in 30 mins, because all the good games need u to learn to play them

thx for confirming it dont corrupt saves man i can make one for u that only increase distances, to wasted atm but i will def get around to it m8

well said man, i completely agree

ya ghost u need to get the updates :p i manually config mine to b Sunny all the time tho, cuz it start always at same time and play thru the same weather, ****s me off so id rather it just be sunny :<

anythings possible but with the way tdu2 is id expect adding a feature like that to require a loader or something (like hacks) so i doubt anyone will do it at least for a while :<

ahaha if u look above the dirtpath trees that now has shadows there is another 1 also even further and now added only performance not distance mod, for if ur happy with draw distance but want smoother play :)

yh u got me! :o i hope this doesnt negatively effect my sales...

its pretty damn sweet. understeers but in a nice way. the windshield is annoying tho, if u use incar view. and i think the interior is stuck to a ugly orange but, worth getting i think u can see a back view of it here actualy http://forum.tdu-central.com/showthread.php?t=25336

lol who sells a house with a cat already in it maybe the cat owns the house and ur his tenant. any ways i think itd b pretty awesome to have more animals. the birds are nice but some more of them and more insects and deer and junk would be sweeet. ow lol and if u could buy a dog and have him ride shotgun, sometimes stickin his head out the window w tongue hangin out haha if theye gonna add anything tho id like some pedestrians. iv noticed the lack of them really brings the game down due to immersion issues. everything else is perfect but, cuz of no peds crappy old GTA IV with its crappy boat cars and weak gfx is still more immersive in a way :(

added to first post, let me know if u notice a marked increase of performance ( u definitely should!) remember to change env quality (just flick it 1 left and then back or 1 right and then back to what u want it) to load in the modded file :)

did u change ur env quality? i am quite sure u have to to enable this (i think it saves ur settings elsewhere and only reads from these modded files when u change the settings) if someone wants ( u?) i can make a version that doesnt increase shadow distance, only decrease quality. u SHUD then just get large frame boost! the way ive done it here it prety much equals out i think :p

here is pictures to show the draw distance differences both are with 1680x1050, 4xAA, vsync off env quality high car detail very high filtering high fx quality very high mod removed: -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- mod enabled: -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- *if u look near the top u can see a very far shadow which is the furthest they will draw with mod enabled (if i reversed a little its gone) surprisingly the framerates were the same, but before id have needed to use Very High env quality which would put my frames from 38 fps down to like 26 fps so its a practical increase of 10+ think i might hav messed up also cuz the quality of shadows doesnt look worse with mod on but it should and is, think i didnt disabled it properly or so i duno :p but there u go is proof it does SOME THING lol ow also with no mod, on High Env the shadows wont consistently draw as far as they did in this pic. often id see them draw at like half or a third of that distance. but not with mod for some reason ^^

ahhh the buttons even on ps2 only have like 2 settings - light push and full push do wat i do - use right stick up/down for accel/brake and left stick left/right for left an right :) ow and sorry sponge i didnt realise u were talking only of the clutch! agreed without variation its pointless. the biting point is the fun part of clutching tho itd still b nice to be able to clutch down and rev it up a bit b4 overtaking :D

i use ps2 controller and the analog accelerate/brake works perfect, fully variable :s ow and no basically op u can only have clutch working if u use H shifter which means u need like 8 buttons free for individual gears :|

didnt think id feel this old at only 21 lol. small price to pay to completely miss out on crap like justin biber and "jessica black" tho :p im glad i was a kid in the 90s, wen the theme of the decade was Cool. i feel sorry for kids today growing up with all these crummy metrosexual role models and junk like high school musical :lol: teenage mutent ninjer tertles > justin fagging beiber

who is this gurl u all keep posting? shes prety narly, i dont get it :s ow an "iLLGT3 TDU:C American Rep" wtf?

damn, external app :< i would used this but i cant b bothered running every time i play, any chance to streamline it into TDU2 files or sth? :P

Newest version TDU2 Shadow Fix 3.rar my own personal settings, properly scaled for performance from Low to Very High some changes in resolutions and distances, should make for smoother gameplay without noticeable decrease of quality. and as always, shadow distance is increased that u cannot see them draw TDU2 Framerate fix ONLY This one is for Ghost and anyone else, who wants ONLY DECREASE IN SHADOW QUALITY (better performance) and no increase of distance So JUST worse shadows, but it should give u smoother play :) === !!!YOU USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! TDU2 Shadow Fix 2.rar Release Info: TDU2 Shadows + Framerate Fix by Ichibu Use this if you: A) See shadows appearing as you drive and dont want to and/or B) Want better framerates This should make your shadows draw in a lot further away now, thus improving immersion, while lowering the quality of the shadows to improve performance. They now draw a fair bit further than on Environment quality "Very High", on all Env quality settings This probably wont work online as i think i read the TDU2 launcher checks your files and downloads original copies of any modded files so it seems this works for offline players only To be sure this works its probably best to block UpLauncher.exe from accessing the internet at all! (Apparently u can move the files after the launcher check to make this work online) Installation: Put the included files in your main Test Drive Unlimited 2\ directory. Make backups of your original Shadows.cpr, Quality_Settings.cpr and your savegame - just incase! IMPORTANT: You may have to change Env Quality to activate the new config WARNING: Theres always a chance youll get banned for using this online for some reason so dont blame me if u do WARNING: backup your savegame and all related files before using this as a user claims to have experienced savegame corruption i havent seen a shadow draw once now and i now am never lagging on 1680x1050 @4xAA all settings on High where before on 1360x768 0xAA w Very high Env and all else on Low i was lagging more and even still seeing shadows draw in :) No Shadows mod For those who wants no shadows at all for some reason, here u go TDU2 No Shadows.rar it actually doesnt look much worse at all and probably give huge frames boost ( i didnt check that) (this a repost w more appropriate title)

i get u. i didnt even know u had to buy casino access. another good reason for me to not buy tdu2 lol still, theyre not DLC :p
