thx tuned maniac. :D

ive got GTR2, thats where i got the 575 sounds from (actually its a 550 but meh....) i might well try the corvette sounds. also yeah i know the 575 isnt too good but i didnt want to spend too long changing it cos i prefer the original sound anyway. just a tester piece. anywho.... homework again 2night so i might just stick to doing this modding at weekends or when ive got a full night to do it in the amount of time it takes to do one is immense :( but i'll stick at it, hopefully get a few done. i'm still trying to get V8 vantage sounds without any luck whatsoever. :( if anyone could get clear sounds that'd be great but for now... there aint much i can do on it i'm afraid :(

good work matt nice one. i might have play with effects on some of those sounds see if i can perfect them. but atm ive got the 575 sound uploading. unfotunately i had to put it into a video file to upload it beacuse i just registered with megaupload and my email aint working to activate the account :( anyway i've put it on photobucket in a video. (actually its just a pic of a 575 all the way through but you can hear the sound anyway) again as i've said just a trial run so don't flame me for the slight 'blips' in the sound. they could be worked out with time and effort but the 575 sounded ok to start with so this was something to practice on. :D anyway.... im still trying to find decent sound files to get the V8 Vantage from but without much luck so far :( any help that people can offer would be great. http://s189.photobucket.com/albums/z316/Ringo_60013/?action=view&current=575_audio_test_movie.flv

yup Zurious walked away with the top prize for me. class colour scheme Zurious, just awesome :D

hehe you aint gonna believe this but i was just fiddling with the old V8 vantage sounds and turns out they're from a Callaway C12. no offence ment to atari but the Callaway isn't mentioned at all in TDU, what sort of a botched job did they do on this game?! anyway i'll see what i can do sry about the 575 delay, haven't got anything to record the sound with atm but i'm sorting it out dont worry.

tbh lee you can do anything the way im modding these, you just need the right sounds. which is why i propose that any upgrades we really want need to be voted on. cos this last one, the trial run is ok but could do with i few slight refinements take out some tiny blips in the sound but it took almost 5hours anyway. if i was to sit and get it perfect it could take a lot longer. so can you guys come up with a list of sounds you all want in order of preferance pls. if you can i could do with sound files (.wma, .mpg etc.) but these would have to be clear with very little background noise to work well. its a lot to ask i know but ive tried finding a Vantage sound on youtube and there is very little. if anyone knows of a game that has the V8 Vantage in it and can send me the files that'd be great.

sure np stinger sounds great. atm ive just finished messing about with the 575 soun swap as i say its only a trial run to see how it works. i must say tho its getting aheck of a lot easier but its still taxing on the brain. i'll get staight on to the vantage sound (after homework :( ) and i'll get a .wma file up here asap. thx forthe great response guys :D

ok sound file swapping and modding is something im quite interested in so ive started work on swapping .bnk files and modifying them atm im working on swapping the 575maranello sound files on TDU for the GTR2 575 race car sound files, when i've finished, probably tonight although i might be busy, i'll upload the file to megaupload or something and post the link here. if you guys want i'll post a video or sound (.wma) file up here. basically im only swapping this one so i can have an experiment with different sounds and find out how it all works. let me know if there are any engine sounds you'd like upgrading (for example the DB9 sounds a little weak to me, i might do that one next) and i'll see what i can do with it :) i'm getting quite good at it now actually. i've also experimented with recording sound from videos and other sound recordings of real cars, these are more difficult to do but if it makes the game experience better then i dont mind spending my spare hours changing them :D

just wondered, didnt one of you guys say "wouldn't it be great to try changing the sound files ourselves?" well i think ive found something here: http://www.tduaddons.com/ 2nd post down on the home page. pls for goodness sake tell me if its legal cos i dont know BUT it seems to be german ireckon cos the guy who posted it also posted it in German on another forum.

yeah all the orange ones are different oranges, as lee says his is gold and orange, where as mine is dark red and orange. tbh i reckon we must've all seen Top Gear going to the Milau bridge with Hamster's orange Zonda. :p you gotta admit they're all different :D

Hey RB, that RB26DETT sounds sweet. hell of a lot better than the skyline engine sound in TDU. Stinger, i'd quite like to download it too. :D then i'll judge for myself if its a improvement. i've already downloaded and installed sound mods for: F430's (LOVE IT) Gallardo's (LOVE IT) RS4 (sounds a lot more 'butch') Murcielago MC12 (remind you of an F1 car? AWESOME sound!) Ford GT Koenigsegg (but i decided it sounded too quiet at low revs, so took it off again) McLaren F1 and F1 GTR (GTR SOUNDS AWESOME!!! :D) S7 SLR 350z and Nismo (nismo sounds class! :P ) CLK55 (great sound compared to the old weak TDU sound) CLS55 (same as CLK55, old sound was weak) and i've also downloaded the night and day mod, which again is brilliant! although its a shame the lights dont show beams. (never satisfied am i :P ) anyway.... i've added rep to MB and also TSS for the sound file links. great job guys. thx

which of the engine sounds is this TSS?

Didnt play TDU over the weekend. Got Orange Box on Friday so i've spent all of my time on TF2 and Half Life 2 stuff. but i really like this competition so i made time for it (a cheer here would be great :P ) anyway.... heres my entry..... again, decided i didnt like the one i put up first :D http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z316/Ringo_60013/20080121204323.jpg

nice one iced. i'd figured out the Rims one for myself. i like Camaro rims on the Pontiac Firebird. much better than the bright white ones! :D anyway.... the rest of the walkthrough is very useful as last time i tried the Offline to Online thing i failed..... miserably :'( added to your Rep points mate well done

like the new sig RB. although im a drift freak so i prefered the old one but... IDK i like the skyline so its hard to say which one i like best :D i DO like the colours of the R34's tho so.....

voted for Randy. i liked the Palm trees and love the 69 stingrays so it definetly got my vote. also its probably alot more 'classy' than my drifting-into-the-sunset pics

i'd like to point out that i have that graphics card and get 4xAA on 1280x1024, on vista with only 1GB DDR ram. and i thought vista needed double what XP needs for the RAM?????:eek: is it just me or have i created a rarity? anyone else who runs this setup i'd like to here from you what FPs you get. mines about 20FPS on average which is perfectly enough to play with a high standard of driving (i.e. without the FRAPs effect, (crashing into everything cos it stutters)). to be honest vista is awful for playing TDU but it does ok. at least it works to some extent.:excited:

is it sumone elses car in photomode? like another car going past yours with the radial blur turned on? thats my opinion :) like the colour tho, different kind of pink to the usual bright fluorescent pink you see around.

thx again guys. i just like the sun in the background and also drifting. put them together and (most of the time) you've got a great pic! yey!

ok basically ive only one thing to say. Happy birthday all who have theirs in the next 7 days! :D

right as promised in POTW9 photo thread, here are my other choices for entries to PotW9. all corvettes so... on with the show! :D http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z316/Ringo_60013/20080108194129.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z316/Ringo_60013/20080108194037.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z316/Ringo_60013/20080108194430.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z316/Ringo_60013/20080108194628.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z316/Ringo_60013/20080108202312.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z316/Ringo_60013/20080107194954.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z316/Ringo_60013/20080107194157.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z316/Ringo_60013/20080107192043.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z316/Ringo_60013/20080107191404.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z316/Ringo_60013/20080107191021.jpg more in attachments!

ok guys heres my pic. now be warned i may change it again during the rest of this week cos i had 40 odd pics to choose from. huge photoshoot! ;) anywho.... here it is the one i like (at the moment) and the one most of my mates like. oh and i'll post the others in my photo thread if you want to see them ;) http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z316/Ringo_60013/20080107194318.jpg

love the MC12 drift pics fantastic mate. nice one

ooh could be a difficult one this. i mean that, honest:) anyway i'm off to get my entry cos unfortunately i aint got any Vette pics :( nvm i'll probs do a better job now i've had some practice! good luck everyone!

Signed it mate. under Ringo_60013. oh and i think atari should have at least given us the 250GTO since its on the back of the games box. dont you think? anyway i hope it goes well but i'd really like to see a completely finished (no glitches or holes in the landscape) TDU2 :)
