Recommended Posts

This guide is similar to the one written by Iced_Bullet back in 2008 but hopefully it will be easier for you to follow.

 

[headline]What you need[/headline]

* Your online TDU1 savegame folder

* Hex Workshop (free download)

* TDU1 installed and in working order

 

[headline]Preparation[/headline]

1. Locate your online savegame (Documents\Test Drive Unlimited\savegame\...) folder and copy it elsewhere as a backup

2. Launch TDU1 and delete your online profile

3. In TDU1, create a new offline profile using the same player name

4. Start the new game, and complete the tutorial (buy a house & car, win the first race, drive back home, then exit your house).

5. Exit the game

6. Make a backup of your new offline savegame folder before you start editing it

The commondt.sav file is not edited and is kept 'as is' from your new offline profile

 

2. From your online profile folder, you may wish to copy your Bookmarks, Photos, and Radio folders to the new offline profile folder

3. Launch TDU1 and test to see if the profile loads correctly with all of your saved progress.

Maybe if a few of us get it up and running we can have a forum comp to see who can get the best Millionaire's Challenge time (with screenshot proof).

 

Say perhaps with a yellow Lotus Esprit (Stage 3 tuning) to start off with (use the Hardcore mode glitch with No Driver aids).
