various Community development: Project DRIVE (working title)
Djey replied to TDUZoqqer's topic in Driving & Racing Games
Best of luck with your project Zoqqer, I'd be glad to help, yet I've no time for this ... However, if you need some tools/scripts or help with coding, let me know and I'll see what I can do. And the most important thing is ... have fun and experiment! It always pays somehow :cool: -
Because physics engine is arcad-ish (but without any driving pleasure) and does not handle vehicle torque and forces properly. In real life, even if the 4th gear could allow that speed, air friction and some other facts will prevent engine from getting max RPMs... Can't remember whether TDU1 has the same behaviour, but it is way more realistic in many aspects !

[RELEASED] Test Drive Unlimited Ultra Community Pack v1.04
Djey replied to Milli's topic in TDU - Support
No need to bother him right now, as the files are far from ready yet (and I'm afraid models would be of bad quality ...). I hope to be back for Platinum as well ! Kinda like a TDU3 or something :duck: -

Djey replied to Milli's topic in TDU - Support
Like the rest... on hold! Someone did give me xbox files, but they have to be converted to be PC compatible. And help of car modders will be needed after this... and as you know they left the place. I think doing those models from scratch would be much easier. :D -
[RELEASED] Test Drive Unlimited Ultra Community Pack v1.04
Djey replied to Milli's topic in TDU - Support
Programming and reverse engineering, as always. I would not say that's impossible (I'm sure TDU has even more secrets to reveal yet), people would have just to wait until it comes eventually. I've started research about new dealers months ago and had to stop for more important things in life. Maybe I will continue some day, no guarantee you know ! -
1. TDU traffic is rather unconsistent, but there should always be a few citizens hanging around. Some things might be screwed up somewhere, indeed. 2. Are you using TDU Gold or modified version ? And which are you PC specs ? TDUCP database is way larger than the original one. So as the file mapping index (Bnk1.map).

Hi, always glad to see new people discovering TDU experience :) Basically, TDUCP 2.0 is a reworked version of Unofficial Patch 1.68b with ready to use car slots. A new base to get a clean TDU with cool features, and for modders a sandbox to experiment even more car combinations. There's a list of changes here: Releases · djey47/tdu-cp · GitHub Sadly, I'm lacking time and motivation to continue project and it's obvious that people will prefer using pre-made car packs, as Milli proposes today. The issue is that Milli's work is based on 1.68b patch and probably always will. TDUCP and Milli's pack can't be used on the same TDU install. Some people would install TDU at 2 locations to enjoy best of both worlds! About your questions: 1. Steps depends on FULL or UPDATE install. With FULL, extract and replace files is enough. With UPDATE, an installer has to be launched afterwards. 2. The way game is started is not important (but using Project Paradise with -HD flag is highly recommended to enjoy most detailed mods) 3. Many Alfa GTs exist in a dealer, but they are of different tuning levels. Should not happen for Pontiac though, likely a bug. Should not happen with a FULL install. 4. A bug as well, but you're the first person telling about that issue. Should not happen with a FULL install as well. 5. TDUCP2 can replace vanilla game (1.66a) entirely with benefits, for any kind of player. 6. Of course it is. Have fun!

[RELEASED] Test Drive Unlimited Ultra Community Pack v1.04
Djey replied to Milli's topic in TDU - Support
Did happen at some time, causes are multiple: memory leaks, added content by mods (graphical, database). Preventing game to load more data into memory. Let's remember that 2006's game engine may suffer of that feature overhead. Patch 1.68b is known to have indesirable side effects on traffic, as well. -
Forza Engine sounds are like in real life !
Djey replied to Dextcloud's topic in Driving & Racing Games
To me, 'generic' term does not stand for bad sounds or completely synthetic ones, they are likely to be recorded from real car with care. My point is they may take shortcut to reuse them for vehicles with similar (or not so) engine architecture. Like in The Crew game btw, thinking about Minis and Fiat 500 for example ... -
Yes I did. But due to lack of time I just could confirm that your database structure is completely messed up. And TDUF can't fix this. After having used TDUF for months, I never experienced it. Maybe some kind of TDUMT/TDUF change conflict.... You should use a backup, then.

Djey replied to Dextcloud's topic in Driving & Racing Games
Sounds are quite good in FH3, that's right! But, I would not say they are totally accurate for each car. Having a sound recorded for each vehicle (500+ so far), is just impossible, so they also use generic (4-cylinder, muscle V8 ...) with a few or no FX processing. But don't get me wrong, most of them are of great quality... and that's a great balance between ultimate accuracy and developer workload :) -
Patch 1.68 does not allow new brands to be tuned by default -- mainly because there's a limit in brands which can be tuned in a shop. It can be unlocked for Porsche I think, it will require changes in database (TDUF Database Editor may help you). It's a matter of fiddling between AftermarketPacks and CarPacks data. I had plans to write an article explaining how to do this, but TDU is not in my projects right now.

Nice mod, did anyone test it with HD patch ? Results should be great as it improves grass drawing distance :cool:

In TDU2 they solved issue of high performance gap between classic cars, by introducing class and performance rank altogether. That was a great enhancement - shame for the rest :p -

Your db.bnk has something special for sure. Send me a copy and I'll see what the catch is. Might be an opportunity to fix it, this time! -

Djey replied to Djey's topic in Tools / Others Mod
Does it happen only after changing cameras ? Or everytime you click on Save button ? That's not so obvious to fix... it might be related to original BNK files you're using. To check this, you should do this once : - load database - replace original-DB.bnk in database/json-cache/ by a clean copy (DB.BNK from TDUCP 2.0A for example) - give the same name. - make your changes - when saving next time, it will use clean original as skeleton for your modified database (will ignore contents). Let me know please. -

Database fix can't restore original line as it does not use backup. It gives default values. -

Djey replied to JPTH's topic in Car Customization Mods
I see you set complementary view kind to 3, what is the consequence ? I thought only existing view types were allowed (23, 43, 24, 44 ...) -

Hey, having many many things to handle right now, thus per-month TDUF release will be delayed a bit. Good news is I encountered that rear view bug when applying some changes, and I found how to fix it. Steering Wheel Tilt setting is fully functional now (see pics below). One news being not enough, I discovered a new setting, which is the complementary view number (that's the view TDU will use when pressing back view button). So that would be theorically possible to switch to different view kind temporarily). 1.12 version should be ready before the end of next week if everything works as expected. TILT = 0 [ATTACH]28525[/ATTACH] TILT = 127 [ATTACH]28523[/ATTACH] TILT = 255 [ATTACH]28521[/ATTACH]
