View File SHKR Starter
Goes with the TDU1 Map-editing Walkthough by B-Eight (SHKR, HMAP) Guide.
This is basically a start-up. Blend file to get you started with TDU map modding. TDUWE only accepts a very specific set of names in an organised hierarchy, in the Z=Y axis format. This is extremely hard to get right and the results will be pretty much the same. So to save the headache, I’m just including this.
Blender is unable to export .daes properly. To counter this, I Included a Notepad++ macro I improvised months ago.

View File -> TDU Platinum Dealer Updates <- 01 - US Independents Dealership Update
Good news! 
I've been thinking about this for a while, and i finally decided to do it so.  Everyone knows that Platinum 2.0 is under development, at a really not desired pace, but moving nonetheless, also, what not everyone knows is my progress schedule. I am working a dealer at a time, so i decided, why not release small updates once i finish these dealers? 
This way, you guys not only will be able to follow my progress closely, how will also be able to enjoy new things without massive waiting times. Although, not everything is good, and there are compromises.  One of them is, these updates are not cumulative and not single picked downloads, if you skip one, the next one might cause bugs and crash your game, so, download all of them and keep yourself up to date! 
I mean, if you haven't downloaded and installed update 01, the following update (02), won't work. You will need to download 01, and 02, install both. 
Another compromise, if you edit the database of the game, your personal changes will not be carried over.
 
Now, keeping that in mind, download it and have fun. 

-> How to install <-
Just replace the files in the according folders. 

-> 01 - US Independents Update Content <- 
- Updated Shelby Series 1 with stripeless variation added as a tune
- Updated Saleen S7 Twin Turbo and Saleen S7 Twin Turbo Competition with fixed gauges and new tailight texture
- Updated SSC Ultimate Aero with fixed shadows, new tailight texture, paintable interior and GPS screen

Some small update. Did the majority of the work behind the scenes on the scripts.
 
Visual updates are mainly:
Wheel UI is in the works. Rims can now be changed outside of debug tools

 
And, arguably one of the most important things, functions to change paint color are now working. Finally I can preview the car in anything else than pure white:

 
Not much, but the paint thing is a major update. Will post more updates as soon as there are any.

Hi,
I'm planning to start a series of videos based on what I know about world-editing this weekend. The series of videos will go over:
Height map export and import SHK-R creation and Import(working shadows)  Object creation, shaders, textures and import(building road mesh) PMI Hex editing(Removing and replacing certain objects) I know i said the exact same thing last year, but that's before i had to do my thesis. Now its over, and I just want to get back into TDU modding.

All pictures were done with HD300 draw distance mod. Anisotropic Filtering x16 was forced through Nvidia Panel. In-game settings were HDR: ON, Texture Quality: High, Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Anti-Aliasing: x4. 
 
 
 
 
Hawaiian Bliss v1.0 (OLD):
Link to album of pictures (v1.0)
 
The pictures were made using HDR Mode, standard/stock TDU textures and were not edited. Anisotropic x16 was forced through Nvidia Panel.
Download link for the v1.0 version mod.
The mod is made for and on HDR, but I've included a non-HDR version as well. It does work, but results may differ slightly from the HDR version. Especially during night time.
The mod is also made for and on standard/stock TDU textures, using a texture pack may give you significantly different results.
To get the same amount of clarity/detail in the game, you MUST force Anisotropic Filtering to x16 in your Nvidia Control Panel! Same goes for AMD alternative!

Changes to V2.0:
Fixed bug with clouds not appearing on the Sky. Reworked HDR mode, no more constant change of brightness while using HDR! Completely reworked night mode for easier cruising and racing.

FAQ
Q: Will I be able to play online with this mod?
A: Yes. The mod does work online, however since online time scale is static, in game days will pass very slowly.
 
Q: How long does it take to get through a whole day playing online?
A: A whole day (sunrise to next day's sunrise) should take about 4.5 hours according to my calculations.
 
Q: Can we make the days shorter?
A: Offline, yes. An offline day should take about 30 minutes. Online time, however, is static for everybody. We can only make the days longer, unfortunately..
 
Q: But, kristiannn, I see you've added two sunrises, three mid days and two sunsets each day, what if we delete them?
A: I've made it that way, so the proportions between morning, day, sunset and night are normal. Also, if we remove any weather sets and do not add more days into the rotation, this will only result in days being longer, not shorter.
 
Q: Will my game run slower with the new v3.0 textures? 
A: Yes, there is an FPS drop between v2.0 and v3.0. If you are experiencing it, I would suggest using the stock TDU textures.
 
Q: Which version to choose? (OFF/HD100/HD300/HDU)
A: Pick the highest draw distance that can give you playable FPS. If game starts to lag, decrease the draw distance. 
 
Q: Does this mod work with TDU Platinum / UCP / any car pack? 
A: Yes! Install TDU Platinum (or any other car pack) and apply this mod after that. 
 
Known Bugs as of v3.0:
- NONE
 
 
I think that's all, if you have ANY suggestions, I'd gladly consider them.
And please, leave a comment with feedback, I'm really curious to see if you like it as much as I do! 🙂

Here are current notes about reverse-engineering of TDU files. They require a good knowledge in game and other topics.
https://github.com/djey47/tdu-cp/wiki/Reverse-Engineering-Notes
I will add more as soon as I can get my hands on them in my hard disk ...

Problem is, PMI support is still very expermental, not sure current structure knows enough to decode this format...
You may try attached structure file with fixed field name for GAP3. I can't guarantee this will work however...
PMI-map.json

View File Smooth Roads Project
This mod changes the surface of some of the roads to a much smoother ride experience.
Problems:
Shadows: Car shadows doesn't work on these new roads. They flicker like crazy: I believe this is due to the fact that the road mesh isn't aligned with the R.shk. However if you drive in 1st person view  your fine.
Also, if your a photographer there are ways to make the shadow look normal, you just need to hit pause at the right moment.
Installation:
Extract to your TDU1 directory (same location of Euro file) Let it overwrite Area -2-4 contents.
