Automotive Gaming

Low key working, I like that!

This happened! Just got released. Check TDUZoqqers World! - Home

Hey.
V-Rent can't be converted for now, as it need more a single database update to fool the game about them. There must be some kind of spots database hanging around :)
 
Anyway, beta 6 is coming, allowing by default 10 rim sets per TDUCP slot. I dunno if the game can handle such a large database :D
But I guess it'd better if we let people enable them via TDUF Database Editor. What do you all think ?

BETA 4 available!
 
What's new?
 
- Includes Patch HD customization (OFF, SD ... HDU)
- Enhances install script with logging [PATCH HD / UPDATE PACKAGE ONLY]
- Offline challengers (bots) driving unlocked slots were removed.
 
Bugfixes
- Make Cadillac Sixteen appear under TDUPE
- Relocate Saturn Sky and Curve to Chevvy/Saturn dealer
- Offline races sometimes frozen at starting grid, waiting for challengers.
 
Known Bugs
- A few, because it's just TDU :p

As TDU is flooded with half finished mods at the moment, I really consider to make some non-forza mods for you soon. List would be on hold (not only for the fact I actually got barely time for modding). E46 will be finished most likely, but as I got finals at the moment, I don't exactly know when I'm going to take on modding again.
 
This is what I am playing around with at the moment.
 

Cheating is not a real issue with TDU anymore, online races are not possible. Moreover, trainers and mods already exist to earn much money. So if anyone wants zillion bucks, who cares now ?  
Anyway, the objective is to bring ever missing vehicle customization features:
 

Rim shop : select other rim set or fix missing set
Interior colors : select over available liveries from the vehicle
Garage layout : sort/move cars between houses
...

 
 

(motor)bike! You'll discover at release time. But I guess old members already know what I'm thinking about :)

Hey,
 
that's a weird issue. For example, I've just posted in following thread :
[bETA-3] Djey: TDU Community Patch 2.00A | turboduck forum
 
And my answer post does not appear to list in right hand column (LATEST POSTS section)... ?
Same with an answer @ about 8.00am (GMT+1)
 
It was working before migration I believe.
... or some of oldest forum sections have been muted since ? :D
 
Activity stream is ok : Activity Stream - turboduck
 
Thanks.

Edit: this post does appear :eek:

What's new in this version?

- Unlocked slots cars have been removed from dealers all around the island to free up space.
 
 
Bugfixes

oh yes these accusations are based on... ? Kurt666 ?
 
--- Post Updated ---
 
oh my friend im here long before you are ....came and talking to me like im Rule,well just say where and when i'll give you all my saved work to look at it ... this is crazy and out of control ...you and your buddy Souroukho or whatever ..are stealing work from GTA Inside and crying like a little babies for attention here i learned everything i know most of it from the old REAL MODDERS HERE ....Combat , Minime, Star ...

This car is a mash up. A non-AMG, facelift W211 body (they went out of production in 2009...) with a W212 interior (how did you get it to fit). And that facelift W211 was only available as E63 AMG, not as E55. And the W212 was only E63 or E63 S.

@rule it doesnt make any sense that you're talking about ...its not about liking or not ... if you take GTA mods almost done atleast make them look correct about working or not ...idk its not my type of car at all ...just saying that wheels are positioned in zmodeler ...you know that's right (i hope) :/

Damn that is a nice pack imo. So many forgotten icons that you don't tend to see in games and Forza has put a number of them in this one pack.

w.i.p

It's nothing to do with not liking, it's all to do with just making sure you are not using the work of others if they don't permit it is all. If the mod author says you can reuse their work then by all means go ahead, but if they say otherwise, then sorry you'll need to find another or do the extraction and fitting work yourself.

This is true and that is why modding is such a grey area. The fact these companies don't come after modders or ask for their stuff to be removed is not a testament that they allow this, in fact as we have been told ourselves directly: it is more a "turning a blind eye" to it. 

If there's one thing we've found throughout the years of Modding, it's that a locked or closed model can still be gotten to (maybe newer software has changed this I don't know). It's why we have implemented different rules over the years that were not there before. And sure you can convert all the models you like, but this community like most on the internet, is a privately run and owned establishment and our rules prohibit these types of mods from being posted and that takes precedence. 

You are absolutely right. This is a legal grey area as I said, and it's completely in the rights of companies to go after those who extract and convert their intellectual rights from games by way of modding, but a number of them don't. And those modders who do the work of making the models and elements 'fit for purpose' also have a right of their work not being taken too. It's not a legal or copyright thing, just a sign of respect is all. 

As I've already said: you can do what you want with what is available to you and post them as you see fit on the places that allow it, but our stance is, to respect the work of the original, in whatever form it comes about. If you cannot abide by this or don't feel it's right in your opinion then I am sorry to hear that.

Really kovalsky ? :duck:

UNKNOWN credits are not permitted any more. Also make sure you post using the Mod Posting Template.

According to that creator's website the use of his mods is not allowed and the linking of them is only permitted on certain listed sites.
 
We specify that the credits for the mod, model and its elements must be stated and that permission is sought if required to try and avoid these instances arising - if you don't have these don't post your mod here.
 
Due to this and some other occurrences of recent it seems we need to lock down the rules for the posting of mods even more and enforce the proper use of the Mod Posting Template as some of the message still isn't getting through and isn't making us look good.
