Replacing files into BNK, Help Needed!

[akeris]

hi

could sombody please give me some help becasue im having a problem when usuing the mod tools.

 

basicly i wanted to change the name of a few cars (to match model mods i have downloaded) and i can extract the correct BNK files and ajust the names using the wizard fine however when i try to replace these files it comes up with an error message saying "Access to path 'C:\program files\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\DataBase\DB_US.bnk is denied"

 

i mean i've probably done/not done somthing really small, basic and silly but help would be appriciated none the less

Hi,

 

to solve this, please try to run TDU Modding Tools as administrator (right click on TDU Modding Tools executable to see corresponding option), as files operations in "Program Files" folder often need more privileges, for security reasons.

 

I will clear this issue for next version (1.8).

exelent thanks very much :thumbsup:

 

damned vista! lol

 

*edit*

 

sorry about this, but now i have ajusted the names of the few cars i wanted to ajust TDU keeps crashing shortly before the main menu comes up

 

again probly somit really simple, but any ideas?

[Djey]

Could be the same problem as with Maplecars.

Please follow the same advice I gave in this thread :

Thanks.

by that i assume you mean send you the TDU_Brands.us and TDU_CarPhysicsData.us that i've modified using mod tools 1.7

 

so here you go

 

just so you know the names ive ajusted are:

 

CCR to CCXR

C12S to F

SE to LP540/4

 

ok thanks :)

 

*edit* o sorry forgot to ad the DB_US.bnk ill put it in a second post hang on

[akeris]

[Djey]

Thanks for the files !

I've got to work now, see you later :pcpunch:

[akeris]

ok cya later

 

*eagerly awaits reply*

[Djey]

Hi again,

 

like I did with Maplecars, I would like you to replace contents of a clean DB_US.BNK with these 2 attached files.

 

Does it work now ?

[akeris]

yes exelent! works perfectly now thanks very much :D

 

just out of curiosity, what was it?/how did you fix it? (just in case i want to change any others in the future)

[Djey]

There were too many spaces in files, after the // symbol; fixed it with a hex-editor (for advanced purposes, a space is represented by following hex values : 20 00 ). I've kept only one space.

 

This issues was caused by a bug into current Modding Tools. Sorry about that.

 

So I advise you to wait for next TDUMT version before renaming cars again (new version will be uploaded tomorrow, I have to chase this bug).

 

Thanks for your feedback ! And if you need to rename cars that are not supported yet, please let me know :)

[akeris]

kk thanks alot, its nice to know it wasn't somthing i was doing wrong for a change lol

 

:thumbsup:

Please Help!

I overwrite original DB_US.BNK file (1.68) and now i can use only a copied german version renamed to DB_US :cry:

I try to download this DB_US as the link below, but this is not compatible, so the game is crashed after thr main intro

 

Could someone put here a newer english language file again?

Thanks in advance. Sry for my bad English

[Andreas¹]

No. We do not allow the sharing of original game files here, you will have to reinstall the game and remember to make backups in the future.

[frenkie71]

OK, thank You.

I have to reinstall again and next time i will do a backup before any modification started
