TDUF - Most advanced modding tools for TDU so far!

[Djey]

Hi,

something did corrupt TDUF configuration file, it seems.

To solve this, delete file at Users\You\.tduf\tduf.properties then restart the tool.  You will have to set TDU Database directory again, though.

 

I'm aware of global crash when configuration is corrupt, that's a thing I have to fix on a future release (but I don't have planned it yet).

Thanks for the guide on how to fix this, and right now the app goes back to normal, I will be working on a new car's stats very soon.

[Ztryka531]

Hello, is there any car database that is useful for configuring the car's stats to real life specs? There are some data in tduf (suspension, ride height, overhang measurements, etc.) that is hard for me to look for and I want the cars to drive as close to real life as possible.

EDIT: Sorry if I did a double post.

Thanks man! (If only there's a preview option in the program that allows look into wheel and color designs before publishing, my life would have been much easier designing car wheels/rims and color with correct paint type like metallic)

Metallic colors are always coded as "RM_06"  That means it's "Red Metallic nº 06"

But to make your life easier, i uploaded something that was very useful for me when i did Platinum.

That's a great guide. I had the big color image from somewhere, but never saw the folder with the paints on cars before.

On a side note, even though these factory paints don't show up online when applied locally, I noticed that some of them still look pretty good when reapplied through the custom paint shop. So for cars with unused paint slots, factory paints can be locally added as sort of quick bookmark to apply various colors in the custom paint shop (which show up online).. haha.

What? Custom paint shop can't replicate original colors at all. lol

Lol, I'm saying even though the custom paint shop can't replicate factory colors, these colors still have specific coordinates that show up every time you enter the custom shop. So, even though you lose the real color of the factory paint upon entering, you can still consistently apply whatever coordinates it defaults to in the custom shop.

For example, if you have a car that has say only white, black and red factory paints, you can locally add a factory blue in an unused slot. This blue won't show up online, and if you bring it to the custom shop, the true color of the factory blue will disappear. However you can still apply whatever blue coordinates it defaults to, either plain or metallic. So essentially you're using a factory paint as a custom bookmark for the custom paint shop, so you don't have to keep manually painting cars every time you want a certain color.

EDIT:

This is the default "blue turquoise" paint of the 993, reapplied through the custom shop with the metallic option. I also did it twice to make sure the coordinates are consistent. These colors will never look as good as a factory paint, but sometimes they're not bad.

Thanks Milli! This is actually I need to create factory colors for my new cars.

I would really appreciate if you help me with this problem. It would be a great asset to my work.

Plus java versions which im using.

Problem is, PMI support is still very expermental, not sure current structure knows enough to decode this format...

You may try attached structure file with fixed field name for GAP3. I can't guarantee this will work however...

PMI-map.json

[BEight]

Same message, but gap4 instead of gap3. Didn't realise it was still experimental. after surfing though some of your tutorials i just assume it was working.

[Djey]

Yep, working for the sample file given but I could not test on all PMIs 

To solve the issue, one would have to study this particular PMI with a hex editor (hex workshop is very powerful), convert JSON structure to tool structure (in C langugage for HW) and find out why the current map file fails.

There's likely a mismatch with the size of structure: TDUF is expecting some data named GAP4, and end of file might be encountered instead.

Sorry not to be of that much help, but my vacation ended and can't find the time to investigate further.

No worries, you given me a good starting point, thank you so much.

[Djey]

Here are current notes about reverse-engineering of TDU files. They require a good knowledge in game and other topics.

https://github.com/djey47/tdu-cp/wiki/Reverse-Engineering-Notes

I will add more as soon as I can get my hands on them in my hard disk ...

[gabojosue]

Hello people from TurboDuck! Really I miss this page!

Djey, can you help me with a little problem again if you can?

I switched to Windows 10 to play TDU Platinum and I get this strange error and can't edit database: (see attached image)

BTW thank you for making a very useful and powerful tool to edit the game!

[Djey]

Hi, try to remove read-only attribute on all files in TDU folder, including all subfolders.

As you're running tool as admin, there should be the only issue preventing files to be copied.

Also, consider sending logs appearing in the console window (TDUF-Database-GUI), eventually.

I fixed it!!!

I followed your step but it didn't work, I got the same error, but I opened the "TDUF-database-gui.cmd" executable with administrator rights and it worked! Strange right?

Maybe the change of Windows 7 to 10 make this happen... Thanks very much for your support!

I will continue to editing and playing this fun game... 🏎🏍

[Djey]

Weird indeed. App was meant to request admin rights automatically with the TDUF-database-gui.cmd and I tested it on W10 at the time.

But the escalation mechanism might have been broken with W10 updates since then. I should check that, I suppose ...

Anyway, glad it worked. Have fun!

[gabojosue]

Thanks,

In the moment of error, I was using Windows 10 version 1903 (OS compilation 18362.356)

Like you say, I think the reason was the new update or some earlier updates...

Microsoft...give us a break!

[gabojosue]

Djey, I have two problems with two cars, I want to fix them , can you help me?

1-First problem is the Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster, I changed the model of this vehicle and now I get this weird front wheel size:

I tried to change the size of the wheel in tduf but it didn't change at all in game:

Front wheel settings

Rear wheel settings

2-Second problem is the weird gear change in game when I tuned a very low power car like the Volkswagen 1200 Käfer Sedan (Type-1) to a very powerful tuning pack:

Welcome to TDU modding. And that is not a problem with TDUF, so, i guess Djey can't really teach you how to mod your own game.

Ok, can you tell me who can help me with this? I really don't know what is happening here...so I want to fix these problems because I really needed to make those changes to this game because I was searching to make tdu mods.

How much can you help me? Do you know how to solve these errors?
