TDUF - Most advanced modding tools for TDU so far!

[mcv100]

Ah yes, I see, thanks for the explanation, I already thought it would be something like that.

 

Also, your TDUF has proven to be really useful for my upcoming little project, which I hinted on in my previous comment. :p

[Tob-Racer]

Database fix is a very good idea :) I'm gonna use it for sure in my project. I don't want to see a car having some issues :D

Thanks a lot Djey ! :cool:

[Djey]

Great! Fix does not do much more than TDUMT database tool did ages ago, but the way I've designed it will make it more efficient in the future.

So, eagerly waiting for your feedback :)

[mcv100]

Nice update Djey! Awesome that it now outputs "real" JSON formatted files! Also great that it didn't break the integration of TDUF in my BTRQ editor :p:clap:

[Djey]

Yes, ensuring compatibility is important, that's why I will try not to make braking changes while staying at same major version (is currently 0.x)

 

So all users/devs can always enjoy new features and bugfixes, and previous features at the same time :)

So, we're starting to crack the code, after 9 years of grueling...hard...work!

[Tob-Racer]

Yes indeed and in some copies it starts to look like bad pornography :nuts: I keep thinking of the Atari & EdenGames staff if they see how we manage to modify the map or add cars :lol: I'm sure they would jump to the roof :D
