TDU2VPE Release

[binbow]

Sorry for trouble you.:(

Is TDU 2 version v034.b16?

What kind of OS are you using? Windows 10? Or 8? 7?

What kind of folder did you install tdu2vpe to?

Is there a file called "db_data.dec" in the folder where tdu2vpe is installed?

Is the file size of "db_data.dec" 1192 KB?

[Kato]

we're I can find version of the game?

OS Win10 Pro

TDU2VPE is in a folder with other mod files for TDU2, not in the same folder where game is installed

"db_data.dec" is in the same folder of TDU2VPE and it's size is 1193KB

 

I've tried to move TDU2VPE in a dedicated folder but is the same

 

EDIT: TDU2 DLC2 v0.34 the infos about my game

[binbow]

Can the game start normally and play?

I am concerned that the size of "db_data.dec" is different. Is the size of "..\Euro\Bnk\database\db_data.cpr" in the TDU2 folder also 1193 KB?

Could you try unpacking the game files again? Please use "TDU2 Unpacker GUI [v1.1]" for unpacking.

[Kato]

Yes the game start normally and I can play it.

 

The dimension of "db_data.cpr" in TDU2 folder is 1193KB.

 

Now I try that unpacker, but how can I do to remove the old unpacked files? I have to reinstall the game?

[binbow]

When unpacking, I think that it is better to specify a different folder as the unpacking destination. After the test, delete the folders unnecessary.

--- eidt ---

Can you send me that "db_data.cpr" with a file size of 1193 kb? I would like to research it for the future.

[Kato]

Thank's. I've used another unpacker before and I couldn't insert a different folder. Now I'm reinstalling the game, when it finishes I retry the unpacking

[Kato]

from mail?

 

Now I've finished to unpack the game files with GUI unpacker aaaaand... IT WORKS!

 

Thank you so much for your patience and your support! :tup::tup::tup:

Can I solve it smhow? 

[Guest MickieMcGee]

@binbow we need u here maaan

[binbow]

@MickieMcGee

There was a report of the same trouble as before. However, no solution has been found. I am continuing the investigation.
About tdu2vpe, ver3.5.1.8 is the latest. And, the size of db_data.dec should be 1192 KB. The unpack method may be different. Please try unpacking again using "Xarlith: TDU 2 Unpacker GUI [v1.1]"  : https://turboduck.net/topic/31583-xarlith-tdu2-unpacker-gui-v11-japan-language-support/

@MickieMcGee

Regarding "no mapping for the unicode" error:

It is a measure that can not be expected so much, please try the following.
Is the folder name with tdu2vpe and the folder name with tdu2 file after unpacking made up of alphabets only? If not, it may be improved if it is a folder name consisting only of AZ characters such as "TEST". 

[Guest LVI]

Can anyone identify this error message?

"Access violation at adress 00856FB4 in module 'TDU2VPE.exe'. Read of address 00C46030."

I get this error when i tried to load the data

[binbow]

@Guest:

Unfortunately, this kind of error is often not well understood.
Is the file size of db_data.cpr 1192 kB? There have been cases where similar errors occurred because files with different file sizes were used.

Try unpacking again using the TDU2 Unpacker GUI [v1.1]

TDU2 VehiclePropertyEditor: Ver3.5.1.8 released.

 

I reverted public version to ver 3.5.1.8.

Ver3.5.1.9 released yesterday canceled because it turned out that I made a bug in "export all items to CSV" function.

 

Changes - ver3.5.1.8

Fixed: An error that "db_data.dec file is missing" occured.

FIxed: Brand name change function was not working properly.

 

Changes histry

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Changes - ver3.5.1.7

Fixed: Bug that minus (-) value can not be entered.

 

Changes - ver3.5.1.6

Fixed: Bugs where editing on tire, rim, brand name was not functioning properly.

Fixed: Suppressed the potential to rise the error "Another application is using db_data.dec" as much as possible.

Other, minor bug modification

 

Changes - ver3.5.1.4

Fix: When importing "_tireDB.csv" an error message dialog rise.

Fix: The brand name editor in "Name" tab page was not working properly.

 

Changes - ver3.5.1.3

Fix: When loading specific vehicle data, there was a bug in which an error "No Unicode mapping ..." was displayed.

 

Changes - ver3.5.1.2

Fix: The error dialog box "Not enough space" error is no longer displayed.

- If an "insufficient space" error occurs, a log file is generated indicating the point at which the error occurred.

Note:

If an "insufficient space" error occurs, try re-importing by referring to the log, shortening the character string length, etc. If it is the same length or shorter than the length of the original string, you can reliably import it.

Also, the map of the space for the string is refreshed each time vpe is started. If an error occurs, restarting vpe and re-importing may fix the error.

 

Changes - ver3.5.1.1Fixed: Suppressed unnecessary "Not enough spaces.." error.

 

Note: There are the following problems in this version.

If you import csv generated when using different generations of db_data.cpr, "Not enough spaces.." errors are more likely to occur.

For example, when importing csv generated in up04 when running "v34b16 system", "Not enough spaces" error occurs.

If "Not enough spaces" error occurs, please stop the process of tdu2vpe by Task Manager. (Although you can quit tdu2vpe by clicking the OK button several hundred times.)

 

Changes - ver3.5.1.0

The following was added:

- Chart for speed vs rpm per gear ratio.

- Display for the estimated maximum speed after changing the gear ratio and the predicted value of 0 - 100km / h time.

Fixed: Some minor bugs.

Note: The above values are rather rough values, and in reality there may be big differences. Please be aware.

 

Changes - ver3.5.0.5Fixed: The phenomenon that the display of model name garbled. Notation like "R34 GT - R Nür" has become possible.

.When you work such as the following, there was a bug in which the vehicle name and the data is overwritten.

.Load data "Audi TTRS Roadstar" - Change vehicle list to "Audi S3" - Click the "Apply" button --- Then S3 is overwritten by TTRS.

About changing the tire size;

  Reveal hidden contents

The combination of a large number of tire and the rim is built into the game. If you want to change the tire size, it is more easy to use by selecting the appropriate combination from among its combination.

You can also change the tire size by changing yourself, such as rim size in combination. The diameter of the tire I can be calculated by the following formula.

 

(Tire Width)*(Tire profile)*2 + (Rim diameter) Here, the "Tire profile" is tire aspect ratio.

When you click the ADD button, the Rim list will open. After selecting the appropriate set of rims, to add onto the list of VPE click the "Add this combination" button or double-click on the list.

There are unused rim, the vehicle ID to which they are assigned is indicated by negative numbers. Since they are not in use, it seems to affect risk is not in the other vehicle. So, I think that they are suitable for use in MOD.

The "db_data.cpr" file must also be a v034 file. The file version of "db_data.cpr" can be distinguished by the file size. For v034, the size should be 1192kb.

Please wait a while,,,, I'll write later.

-- edit --

At the moment, you can only select the combinations described in the DB. 
If you want to apply a rim mod, you will need to replace that particular combination of rims.

How to change the rim size:
1. Open the "Tires/Rims" tab,
2. Select the code for your desired rim size in the "Tire/Rim Combination Code List".(by double clicking).

If the combination containing the rim of the desired size is not in the list, you can add it by.
- Click the Open DB Viewer button to open TireDBViewer and
- Find suitable set and double-click to select it.
The code set by the above operation will be added to the "Tire/Rim Combination Code List".

On TireDBViewer, if the vehicle ID number is set to negative, it meaned will be not used for any vehicle yet. So, selecting a set of them will avoid any impact on other vehicles.

[Guest Mewt]

Hey there, I've been messing around with this tool for about an hour and nothing is working, I've tried unpacking the game (it's in a folder), reading through the pages of replies on here on people who have had a similar issue and everything I've tried isn't working. Every value I change does not show up in the game, the cars just stay standard. I've tried editing a variety of cars but yeah, just nothing. Help would be appreciated.

[Aquarious]

Hi binbow, first of all, thanks for this great tool.

I'm working on adding some cars to unused car slots. First car I added was a Bentley Continental GT. As you might know, this car brand is not in the stock game. I was wondering, how do I add an extra car brand to the game? I know it is possible, since both the Unofficial Patch and Autopack add new brands to the game.

I assume its not as easy as in TDU1. How does it work?

[binbow]

@///Λquarious:

As for the brand name, as with any other vehicle, you can only replace the existing name.
You can replace a brand name by following the steps below.

1. Choose a brand name to replace
2. Enter new brand name
3. Click "Write to the data buffer" button
 With the above operation, 
4. the new brand name added earlier in the brand selector will be listed, so select it. 

Then click the "Apply" button to add the new brand to the game.

[halucod]

Howdy love the tool,

Is there anyway to edit a car to be able to sell it in the game? Or a way to access a garage to delete it? After installing some AutoPacks a few of my cars got turned into Traffic cars and was wondering if I'd be able to edit their properties to allow them to show up either when you are buying a car and don't have space or money.

 

Thanks!
