Request for help with custom cars

[jianh]

Hi I'm new here, and i've got a few questions I would like to address at this forum:

 

I've just recently discovered there are custom cars, in fact many of them, that can be installed into TDU. However I don really know how to do the installation. Help please?

 

I was told that there's a megapack which installs even more cars, made original by Atari, into TDU. Do I need the megapack to install custom cars I found at this forum?

 

Installing custom cars: Is is that custom cars replace original TDU cars or custom cars can be added into TDU, which makes the game to have more cars?

 

Maybe a step-by-step tutorials for the installations of custom cars please?? Thanks!

Hey Welcome to TDU-C!

 

1. Maby you have an autoinstaller. If yes you don't have to install manuel.

But if you don't have an autoinstaller you have to install the mod manuel.

 

Car.bnk = Body

Car_I.bnk = Interior

Car_F_01.bnk = Rim

 

You put the Body and the Interior in the folder:

X:\Program Files\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Vehicules

And for Rims you have go to here:

X:\Program Files\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Vehicules\Rim\Car

 

2. No, but maby you have to make a bodyswap.

 

3. We have only one car that don't replace any car. [Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic]

what is bodyswarp?

 

and how does the Bugatti work that it doesn't replace any original cars in the game?

[KoenigseggBG]

With Tool's mods it's easy. You download the mod and then use the Mod Installer. It will do it automatically for you. ;)

 

But if there are only .bnk files, without an installer, use tdu ggas' instruction.

 

The Bugatti doesn't replace any car, it makes a new car slot. I don't know how to do that but I'm sure someone else does. :)

It replaces the default bike.

Bodyswap.

 

If the mod reaplace a car e.g. CLK 55 AMG but you want it on the A3 3.2.

So rename the files CLK_55.bnk, CLK_55_I.bnk and the Rim file CLK_55_F_01.bnk

In A3_V6.bnk. A3_V6_I.bnk and the Rim file A3_V6_F_01.bnk.

 

Thats a Bodyswap.

I'm learning on how to install custom cars, I've found some nice Ferraris and Audis by tool831 that I would like to put into my TDU, where can I find autoinstaller? Searching in this forum gives no match

It's called a Bodyswap <- no r ;)

 

And auto-installers only recently started showing up for mods, far from all mods have them.

[StormLine]

and manually replacing the files is better because with autoinstaller you dont have full control over what happens and the autoinstaller may modify the physics which is cheating.

[Impala SS]

But only the Physicinstaller!

[StormLine]

and if the author "forgets" to tell that the installer also modifies physics then we are screwed :warnsaw:

[chika.doctor]

As far as I know (not much probably :) ) for now only Tool831 makes physics installers for his mods, and they are as a separate download on his threads, so there can't be a mistake.. ;)

a bit of OFF: What's going on with the Physics section? I've heard that Diablo will make it, but nothing appears yet? Maybe lack of mods so far??

[KoenigseggBG]

Tools doesn't make physics. Dredgy does. ;)

 

Physics Tool By: Tool831

Physics done in performance tool by: Dredgy

[chika.doctor]

Wait, uhmm.. The physics are made in Dredgy's TDUPE, right? But Tool makes physics in Dredgy's tool, right? I think I'm confused now.. :confused:

EDIT: Wait, I think I got it now. Physics are made by Tool in Dredgy's TDUPE.. Yeah, that sounds right.. :)

Damn it Koeni, don't confuse me! :D

[KoenigseggBG]

No, the Tools for physics editing are done by Tool. But the physics themselves are created by Dredgy in Tool's program. ;)

[chika.doctor]

Hehe.. Why do I think it's the other way round? ;)

The tool is made by Dredgy, and Tool makes physics in it? :D
