Thank you Milli, you've put a lot of time and effort into this and it shows, amazing job!

Looks fantastic Milli :loveit:
 
Thank you for the time and effort, to you and all of the modelers/modders. Looking forward to playing this :clap:

Indeed, garbage, that is what someone likes to hear, after several hundreds of hours of work, did in spare time aside a fulltime job, family, other hobbies, thank you, thank you. Without that summery you would never know about many mods at all. And there is way more stuff to list, like thousends of sounds, rims, performance packs.
Like Milli said, download links without modders permission, is not welcome in modding community. So there are no direct dl links now.
Perhaps I could start inserting dl links, but only behind a paywall, and share the income with the modders (so far able to contact them) getting paid for our work.
Where were you 12+ years ago, when mostly all links here and elsewhere worked?
I would say, life punishes those who come too late.
Many modders left, because after so much time other games came up or interests changed. TDU is by far not that popular like GTA oder Euro Truck Simulator, even more so nowadays. Reventon09 moved on to GTA modding, for example. Only very few are left with TDU, like StarGT. And the fact is, like Milli mentioned, there is simply no man power/knowledge, and I guess never will be, to crack the game coding more than is atm.
Look, lately I gave all existing TDU modding video tutorials to Turboduck for republishing at their youtube channel, so you can immediately get involved developing (better) mods for all. Or start reengineering the game, if you think, that's so easy. Roosevelt once said, don't look at what your country can do for you, look at what you can do for your country. What can we expect by you?
No offense at all, just wondering about your statement, also if stated as suggestions, but subliminal are demands.
Wish you a nice time with TDU.

Thank you Milli, you've put a lot of time and effort into this and it shows, amazing job!

Progress is on hold now, because i am on vacation. :lol: and the release date is hard to say. Sorry. As i said, it changes accordingly with my free time.

If it's hard to wait, imagine how hard it is to make it.
 
Either way, Ford update, as they're finished.

-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.

  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.  
 
 

 

Actually, it is not his obligation. Nobody pays him to do that. Really micheal, you better drop it, before it gets worse.

Listen mate , 1st i answered your pm and was very nice to you but mentioning my nickname out of my threads and "thanks for nothing" ? you are driving both mine and Zoqqer's mods that are in Milli's pack so what does that say about you as a person?? , 2nd do i owe you something ? maybe should make some mod just for you ? listen i'm making the mods for my self and every modder does the same , we are sharing i repeat SHARING our mods with the community because we like that not because it's our obligation , clear ?!

TDUCP should definely evolve to second option, will address this once TDUF will be okay with camera customization.

There is a way, but that means either re-make my pack in TDUCP or re-make TDUCP in my pack.
 
So, you can imagine how long and how much work that would take.

i actually like the concept of reviving the good old TDU1 with your touch Milli. Now I'm still wondering is there still a way for me to merge TDUCP 2.00A with yours with minimal to no crashes to desktop at all?

I know, but i just followed TDU rules. Classic cars being G-Class. Even because if i put G-Class being slower than F class, some races might get extremelly difficult, because the time not being enough. And if you pick the best car of any class, there won't be a challange left. TDU have always been that way.

The good 'ol days :nods:

Yes, i believe so. And nah, if you have v1.03, all you need is the DLC.
 
Edit:
Just done Tour of The Island with a F355, Stage 1 tune, in 45 minutes and 08 seconds. :lol:

Change my opinion about what mate ? The current situation in TDU modding community made me do this , the situation of stealing mods , "fixing them" , there are people that are without shame in the community right now.While this is going on ... i wont be able to release anything 'cause it will be fixed. And TDU2 modders should watch out because their mods are getting "fixed" also

This thread is about the Community Pack, can we try and keep it on topic please?

Stories, you're new to the community as you said, so listen up:
 
This forums do NOT support stealing mods and we do not support or encourage it. So, if you care or not, it is up to you, but one thing you can do, which is keep the comment about that to yourself.
 
Few members have beeen banned by causing troubles about mods.
 
Plus, the community sees mod stealing as something you shouldn't do. Since you're new to the community, you better know what is "right and wrong". And before you argue with someone who has seen it deep inside, you should listen. That is called respect, and that is how you get your voice heard.
 
You can be the best TDU player ever, and that is great, but the community has it's rules, and your skill as a player has absolute no value here. A friendly advice, before you get in trouble.
 
And you Pator should behave too. Now, enough about this argument.

that's exactly what i was talking about for God sake

2 cents or 3 , when you spend a lot of hours in zmodeler , 3ds max , creating your personal parts or spending an hours searching materials , the original used in the actual car or creating your own textures in PS it does matter ...

Deleting codes and swapping them in TDU PE and Modding Tools. Sounds like too much hassle to do just because one mission that can actually still be done.
 
If it wasn't possible to complete, i'd fix it, but that's not the case. Just do that mission with the Firebird.
 
Edit:
 
Uploading the DLC Pack, that contains:
 
Fixes the lastest bugs.
11 new vehicles
 
Also uploading the Ultra Community Pack v1.04, which is the pack, with all hotfixes and DLC already added.
 

 
In 2 hours it should be done. And i believe, the download link will be the same as before.
 
 
P.S. If you edited car sounds, rims, and anything else, i do recommend you to just download the DLC Pack, instead of the whole full pack v1.04.
 
 
Edit 2: I've forgot to revert back the bhp of the Pontiac Firebird, once it's uploaded, get the Firebird_powerfix, it's just a db.bnk file that you need to swap. :lol:

It's quite cool, yes. About the sizes and height, i can fix that in no time. :lol: Thing is though, i don't have that mod.
 
Edit:
By the way, an old friend of some is back.

Will put a photo of myself in the next update, so people won't make mistakes no more. :lol:
