How to install Cars for TDU In Windows 7 64-bit(Without TDU Modding Tools)(not tested in 32-bit!))

[Christoflames]

Ok now as i did im sure some people are unsure how to add mods to tdu in windows 7 because the tdu modding tools app doensn't want to work correctly. so im just going to explain(In simple manner) how to install it without tdu crashing!

 

(DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! I CANT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG WITH YOUR PC OR TDU!!!)

 

OK to do this you need the following:

-TDU

-Windows 7/vista/xp 64-bit/32-bit (32-bit ONLY if ur modding tools dont work)

-Magic maps

-a downloaded car (try here or WWW.TDUADDONS.COM)

-PATIENCE!

 

Ok do the following:

 

0.Make Backups

 

1.Download and open MAGIC MAP(attached)

 

2.replace the one in your install directory eg. c:/Program files(x86)/atari/Test Drive Unlimited/Euro/BNK

(Your directory may differ eg. 32-bit is plain Program files(usualy))

 

3.go into c:/Program files(x86)/atari/Test Drive Unlimited/Euro/BNK/Vehicules

 

4. Download your car(if you havent already)

 

5.Drag the to files in this type of format into the folder :

 

eg.

300_C.bnk

300_C_I.bnk

 

6.now for your rims, in Vehicules there is a folder named rim. In your downloaded car's folder you should find one to, Copy that item in to the Vehicules folder (Replace when asked)

 

7.for audio (engine sound) copy it here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Sound\Vehicules

 

8. Guages go here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\FrontEnd\HiRes\Gauges

 

9. YOUR DONE!!

 

Please ask if u have any problems!:thumbsup:

 

You can also change car names to be replaced!
