You can mod TDU now?

Saw that license plate photo, is it now possible to make new plates? And if so, does it work online?

You can mod TDU now?

Yeah, in fact, if you go to the US Atari Test Drive Unlimited forums, under General Discussion, there are whole lists of them. Here's a link (I'll remove this if linking like this is against the rules or anything):

Well, yeah, making new plates is possible. However, all of the cars besides traffic (which must be modded separately) have the same plates on your computer / installation of TDU, but no one else can see it online unless they have the same license plate mod. The same applies to any mod - they must have it as well to see it.

This game just gets better and better.

Should have guessed, it was the same with the multiplayer GTA mods... If you had other mods, the other people online wouldn't see them. It's the same with the car packs in TDU as well... I guess online mods would have to be done on a whole different level. Still, great stuff.

Cool.

Nice mod too btw.

[race_invader]

Thanks.

Major update:

SWEEEEEET!!!!!!

http://forum.zmodeler2.com/viewtopic.php?t=3339

TDU MODEL IMPORTING!!! The Veyron pic isn't (necessarily) fake!

Oh, that, and, if you look on my mod site, I've fixed the Cien and T440R gauges so that they're working analog ones.

[RedCarDriver]

Wow. Just, wow.
Sorry I'm (sort of) double posting, but:


A working Audi R8. Click the picture (linking like this is OK right?) to see more.

[race_invader]

Yep ive got the BETA, its just amazing that TDU finally has a export for Zmodeler. Have you seen the new skylines they have made with no spoilers and fat exhausts?

[TheStig]

Is it a bird, is it a plane.... no it's super ricer with his 350Z

[race_invader]

Yeah i thought that too but i was only testing it out..

[RedCarDriver]

lol, yeah, that 350Z mod looks pretty ridiculous

I wish that guy would do the Veilside widebody kit for the 350Z (think DK's car from Tokyo Drift), when he's done with the R8. I also wish he'd make the Corvette C6 into a Camaro 5th-Gen, or maybe Zonda F from Zonda, DBS from DB9 (replacing Vanquish), or, more importantly, a CCX from the CCR. Heck, I could go on and on with requests... ah well, I'll leave it at the finished R8 and a CCX from the CCR.

[jacoja06]

I've always considered buying this game for my new PC... but, considering it's a MOOR game, I've been worried about the lack of people still playing it online. So how many people still actually play online? I don't want to pay $60 to drive around in a ghost town .

[race_invader]

@RedCarDriver: I'm giving him (BasBas2004) who is doing the R8, a model of a Porsche carrera GT from NFS:Most Wanted, he said he could probably do it.
---

Edit: Here is his list he is going to do.. The porsche carrera GT is in it WOOT!

My list of the mod,s i will done the next days,,

1* Bugatti Veyron - Koenigsegg CCS8
2* Porsche Carrera GT - RUF Spyder.
3* Hummer H2 - Chevrolet SSR
4* LADA - Pontiac GTO.
-------------------------------
Tis is the mod's i want to make this week.

Maybe next week.

1* Mitsubishi EVO IX - Mercedes CLS55
2* 997 Porsche - RUF RT12
3* BMW M3 GTR - TVR Tuscan
4* Ford RS Cosworth - Caterham CSR 260
5* Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 - I don;t know yet, maybe one of the concept cars.

This week no one can't change the list .. maybe with lots of cash i changing my mind

[t3ice]

@ race invaders quote: He'll only change his mind with a alot of cash..

Damn, why would anyone replace the koenigsegg ... why not the MC12, for the bugatti.

[race_invader]

Well even know he is changing the koenigsegg you can pick the car you want it to replace anyways.. The file size has to be exact or lower then a car you want to replace. For example: Skyline GTR can replace and be on the Ascari.

Example for file size:

Ascari file size -

KZ2.bnk - 2,552
KZ2_I.bnk - 4,240

Skyline GTR file Size -

SkyGTR.bnk - 1,402Kb
SkyGTR_I.bnk - 4,156Kb
------

So its all about file size they need to be exact or under for Test Drive Unlimited to read them without crashing. Same thing goes for if someone is creating a car for Test Drive Unlimited the file size is locked or something like that so if someone is building a car it has to be the same file size or under for TDU to read it.

[Carcrazy]

Woah.. this almost makes me want to get that GPU upgrade...

[S2000_Skyline12]

...You can't run it now? =S

[donaldgladden]

I'm with Carcrazy, it wouldnt be fun driving a R8 at 5-10 fps.

[baumaxx1]

I'm with Carcrazy, it wouldnt be fun driving a R8 at 5-10 fps.

If you have PCI-E, it shouldn't be a problem as 8600GTs can be had for $50.

[S2000_Skyline12]

No. You guys don't get it. If you haven't heard (which I think is impossible), he has a Q6600, 2GB and a 7600GT. He should be running it nicely.

[Carcrazy]

Um...

*shoves Q6600 box under bed*

j/k, But it still looks kinda jagged to me lol.

[race_invader]

Here is a Ford escort i believe it might be from NFS Pro Street. From the creator of the R8. This is a BETA btw and cannot be downloaded, he says its his test car.

[taz947]

Looks very shiny.

[baumaxx1]

Um...

*shoves Q6600 box under bed*

j/k, But it still looks kinda jagged to me lol.

Check out your sound drivers... I know Juiced is buggered with onboard sound.

[race_invader]

BMW for well BMW lovers.. This is not made by BasBas2004 the creator of the R8.
