TDUMT II does not intend to replace TDUMT 1.16; it will focus on modders need and not gamers need basically.

TDUMT II is designed to support TDU1, and TDU2 (but without warranty as I don't own this PC damn version).

TDUMT II will NOT unpack .big files as tools already do that now.

TDUMT II only likes unpacked TDU2s btw ;)

BNK specific :

• ability to remove / add files
  
• optimized contents to save space (no padding zone)

[rollingtheboy]

Epic le pote !!!!

 

Good luck my dear friend , wish you the best with this new version !!!

[iLLusion]

Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm so excited right now! Not only your new tools are going to further make our life a lot easier while making future TDU mods, but it's going to support TDU2 as well. This could mean that we are finally moving in the right direction and personally, I can't wait for the community to take over TDU2. Oh wow, just imagine all the possibilities.

 

One thing though, I've noticed that a tree is blocking your cool road network. Need some help to chop it? :lol:

 

 

Anyway, good luck... and ofcourse, +rep! Nobody deserves it more than you! ;)

[Incognito]

Good luck with the new tools :)

[wagnerpsc]

nice to rear that,good luck on that djey

[Mielie_NL]

Wow..I didn't quite expected this but I'm looking forward to your progress. Good luck with it!

[Narwhal]

Fantastic to have you back to modding Djey.Good luck with this and +rep.

[Djey]

Thanks guys,

I can't promise anything for TDU2. Not many things have changed into the game file engine so far, but changes will likely to be offline-only... oh, and hoping that someone could finally make physics.

[Fear Deer]

This is great news djey :)

Good luck on your project, please keep us updated :)

really wasnt expecting this, +rep.

[iLLusion]

Excellent news! ;)

[Ozzmcom]

excellent news indeed , hope once the repacking is done there's a way to get round the stupid file check.

[Djey]

not sure if allowed of discussing of this here, but I think a tool (from Russia?) does exist to skip file check... dunno if it works since latest DLC update !

 

seeing how much some modders do require a repacker, we are very near of it :)

[40Clocc]

This russian tools works with The Exploration Pack DLC

[The Compensator]

[Djey]

This russian tools works with The Exploration Pack DLC

sounds epic, thanks :D

[Ozzmcom]

lol we can discuss anything tdu2 is binned

[wagnerpsc]

if you're talking about that universal launcher it's NOT working with the latest update,you'll have to use an earlier version .exe

- repacks TDU2's BNKs => in progress

I wish you'd keep the TDU2 repacker under wrap until Eden release the addon cars they already had made - like the Rabcat models, officially drop support for the game, or shut down. Otherwise it's gonna hurt their ability to keep development going. Each car cost them over $20k to have made and you know modders are going to focus on the same cars just to stick it to them. Atari/Eden can't compete with teenagers who can just steal and convert stuff in their spare time at no cost and without consequences. At the very least it can kill any potential revenue from the PC platform, endangering its support. It could even hurt DLC sales on consoles. EA sells 2-3 million copies of each of its racing games before they even get out of bed. They only release PC versions for pocket money. Atari/Eden don't have that luxury. Every sale counts for the game having a chance to survive.

 

A BNK repacker won't bring decent wheel support or FFB. Eden's next couple DLCs might. At least we know they worked on a HC mode and planned to release it as DLC. They knew they had to focus on hardcore players in the long run. So please let them release a couple DLCs before deciding if it's worth releasing a repacker.

Yes, cause they've done marvelous job for the past 7 months. We got a lot of new features we players requested, got a lot of pretty shiny new cars and everything we could wish for. And then some! Oh wait, that didn't happened... and chances are of that happening in near future are... slim to none. Game was pretty much dead first week after release, and 7 months later without any proper updates, except that lame Explorer Pack, we might as well call it quits.

 

I can see your point, and I would love more than anything to see proper TDU2 support from Eden/Atari, but you are too optimistic. Nothing wrong with that, but community gave up from hoping half a year ago. I suggest you do the same.

 

And besides, future mods made by ''teenagers who can just steal and convert stuff'' won't work online anyways. While we at that subject, you can't ignore the fact that those same ''teenagers'' are the reason first TDU survived this long. I'ts been 5 years already and TDU still has strong player base, if I'm not mistaken. TDU2 on other hand...

[Jorgemodek]

Ok so we will just have to wait 3 years for that....easy ... and a brand new 20 cars that already came out in 2008... Im so happy to pay them money that they didnt deserve

 

We all like to buy imcomplete games.....

[Kevin1994]

Can you make a feature, that you can restore datas. For example when you change the ride hight and have problems with it you can restore it with the MT. Hope you can do something like that:D

nor eden , can we just stop believing in this so called support ? It's not happening and it never will . They are 'happy' with the handling it proves the team is actually run by the monkeys. I mean come on people this is the best shot at saving this game . If anything I'm supporting djey. And before you slag off modders remember what have they done to make tdu1 last forever. EA sells millions of copies because they actually complete building the game before releasing , they at least give a damn about their community , and they have better management on every sector.

Eden may as well admit they a TOTAL hash of TDU2 and give up on it.
