WIP/BETA Car slots Add-On V1.00 TDU

[alonso10_1]

Fantanstic!!!! Great job tob!!

[Tob-Racer]

Hmmm i already tried the TDUMDT, i did on the ascari, i place a new default color on the original ascari and the duplicate stayed on in own color, i tried placning them on anoteher dealers and it work and renaming the original and it work but with TDUPE it doesn't work, the only thing i don't like with TDUMT is you can't rename a mod with my own specific name all are already given in a list which i don't want. Like for example Shelby Series 1 '06. Hey Tob i know you will solve this i trust you.:p

 

If you want to add new names in TDUMT, use DB Resources ;) In the list, select "CarPhysicsData", load it, you gonna see a huuuge list with all sort of names and numbers. Scroll down to the bottom and click on the green bar > Click Insert > Add a random number and add the name you want > Click "OK" and save it. You gonna be able to use that new creates name. :)

 

Thanks ! I will try to sorted this out as soon as possible. It affect everyone and makes me mad :evil:

 

Fantanstic!!!! Great job tob!!

 

Thanks a lot ! Enjoy ;) About the Rim Tutorial, it will come very soon but I just need to sorted my big issue with TDUPE and my mod.

Hi,

here is updated Cameras.bin + VehicleSlots.xml file for TDUMT, to handle these new car slots.

 

It's not complete yet, since some vehicles have up to 3 slots available and new ones have to use the same camera set.

So I would need to add 149 camera sets more.

Hi Tob, thank you for the tutorial on modifying names using TDUMDT, i succeeded in changing name on the ascari original according to my own specification but the game crash to desktop, this why TDUMT is not very reliable.

Did you use to play in another language (like French). Copy DB_US, rename it to the original game language you did use to play (For me in this case it's DB_FR) and replace DB_FR with the file you've just renamed.

Do you know also how to translate the DB_language file into other languages ? Because every mods installers doesn't allow me to install any one of them. The problem is all the installers target DB_FR for some reason even if my game is set in English.

Thanks a lot Djey :) Gonna try it as soon as I've got some time. Have you got an idea how to sorted my problem with TDUPE please ?

I dunno how TDUPE works, and curiously enough it is based on TDUMT's mechanics so it should not occur...

Anyway, even if we find out what's wrong I'm afraid we won't be able to fix it without a proper source code.

We would need someone to make another tool to update physics like TDU2 Property Editor. That could be me, but I've got too many TDUF things to finish before...

 

Do you know also how to translate the DB_language file into other languages ? Because every mods installers doesn't allow me to install any one of them. The problem is all the installers target DB_FR for some reason even if my game is set in English.

Are you able to select language in Installer ?

The issue maybe due to the renaming of BNK, as well. Into DB_xx.BNK you should have only files .xx for installer to succeed.

e.g DB.FR.BNK => TDU_Bots.fr, TDU_Hair.fr ....

 

Could you send me an example of pch file making this crash ? Thanks for the log btw!

[Tob-Racer]

That's a shame for TDUPE. Well, the only way to avoid this problem is to copy all the slots twice so the original Atari slots stays normal, the 2nd duplicated can be modified and the 3rd one as well. Like my Edonis, SLR, CLK55, Golf, Gallardo, GT500 and Skyline GTR slots. So today 37 of my new duplicated slots are a bit useless. I'll try to find an alternative soon. I understand you can't work on a new TDUPE, don't worry. Take your time with TDUF. Thank you for your work :)

I'm wondering if civicmanvtec and JPTH have the same problem :hmmm:

 

About installers, some of them yes, but most of the installers doesn't have a language selector. Even the one with language selector doesn't work so I've included 3 different PCH files: Zoqqer's Aventador where you can't choose the language, Illusion's CCXR as well but Tool's Reventon you can.

 

Oh I see. Yea I've replaced DB_FR with a copy of DB_US so insteed of having for example TDURims_FR, I've got the US. But I haven't got the choice to replace DB_FR otherwise my game crash.

[Leonhart]

Ok Tob more power to you. thank yu.

[Djey]

Ok I see. Installers with language selector are older versions. They attempt to detect game language automatically (by seeking into Windows Registry), or by selector if it fails for whatever reason. Next installers update all languages.

 

The final version should have all DB_xx.bnk files in it to comply with all languages. I'm currently updating TDUF to do this.

 

Can you provide the list of resources you have added and their respective values please ?

 

 

After that, no need to set game language to US nor renaming files :)

[Tob-Racer]

Do you mean, the values I've entered in DB Resources in CarPhysicsData and Rims ? I can't copy all of them now into a notepad, I need to go for an appointment this afternoon sorry :o

But I can send you the CarPhysicsData and Rims. It's not gonna really help, isn'it ?

[Djey]

That should be ok, thanks !

[Tob-Racer]

Well, what a success ! In about 5 days, 108 copies of this mod have been downloaded. :) Thanks to all ! Improvements and more slots are coming soon.

 

Thanks also to Djey for his great support ! :D

 

Does anyone else who got the mod have the same TDUPE problem I've got ? Any bugs ? Any feedback too please ? I need more reports because it help me out to figure what is wrong, where and make the mod more stable and of course better.

[alonso10_1]

more slots?? wow!!!!! great job men!! And I have a bug or a problem with the Skyline and with the GT500. It doesn´t appear in the dealer shop in spite of the fact with the TDU mooding tool I have put then in the dealer shop.

 

Thanks for your efforts and thanks to all modder who are working in this patch.

[alonso10_1]

Sorry for that but I have reinstalled the patch with all of the step by step and the Shelby GT500 and the Nissan Skyline GTR R34 slots are missing. I opened the TDU MODDING TOOL and I mark the car in the dealer shop and when I enter into the game, in the dealer shop i have put the car it doesn´t appear the model and the name too .

Any solution?? Someone has the same problem??

Thanks for everything

[Tob-Racer]

Working on it now. Fix coming soon. Sorry for crashing your game. And sorry for late reply, the reality of life is getting over my self these days.

 

EDIT: FIX RELEASED ! No need to use replace databse files. Just extract "FrontEnd", "Sound", "Vehicules" and the "Bnk1.Map" file in Euro\Bnk.

 

Car_slot_add-on_V0.6.1_Hotfix.rar Mediafire

 

What it does ? It active the 2 Shelby GT500 slots and the two other Skyline GTR slots.

 

Thanks for the report alonso :)

[Djey]

Sorry for having not tested it yet, but I just had a look at first post ... and imo installation steps are too much a hassle !

Maybe that's an explanation for the lack of feedback down here :(

 

1.68b patch is outdated and now should have most of prerequisites (unlocked dealers, all languages supported etc ...) in it. Here is a new project I had in mind for months but I'm just starting it right now.

Installing your car slots will be a piece of cake afterwards.

 

Thanks for your commitment anyway!

[Tob-Racer]

Thanks for being honest. I understand the installation steps are quiet complicated. But I haven't really got the choice because the community asked for a community megapack to be compatible with that Car slots add-on. And that's the only way possible to install my mods after all the Patchs/Megapacks requirements unless I understand how to make an installer.

 

Yea TDU is on a new level since you've launched TDUF and the latest mods made with your brilliant little tool are a bit complicated to install and I admit requires annoying things (not TDUF, the latest mods). If you could make all that easier that would be awesome I would be grateful ! :) I don't mind if my mod become useless as long as we all can have more slots by any different way ! At least, I've contribute a bit to the community and I'm happy about it. :D Well thank you for your work and I can't wait for your future patches. Good luck !

[alonso10_1]

You are welcome Tob!! I only wanto to help. Thanks for your work!!

 

Tob I was thinking about the problem with the TDUPE and the duplicate slots. When you modified a origial phiysic data Atari car, this going to the duplicate slot.

Well, I was thinking that maybe it could be faster to solve the problem if you could make your car pack of 45 cars with mods from TDU's community. because as you put in the pictures you could make the Renault Alpine and the BMW M6 with their physics. I want to say that yes, it´s good to have a dupicate cars for choosing everyone which mod want to put, but I think thant with your car pack of 45 cars with mods from TDU's community we could have the same oportunity to choise with mod we want to put because we could replace one of the car of your pack and modify the physic without problem. It´s my opinion and maybe you won´t have too work trying to separete slots and Djey if he is helping you, he could star his new project.

Sorry if this post upset you. And of course, thanks for your help, thanks for your effort and thanks for your work

[Neddo]

To me you should restore missing DLC 6 cars and some other ones found in files. Or should that be kept for CP v2.0?

[Djey]

Cant agree more. Such a 2.00 patch should not add new slots, only enable existing ones and of course give justice to pc players concerning dlc'6!

No it doesn't upset me :) We all trying to find a solution and any idea is welcome. I'm actually doing that experiment. I try to directly integrate the modded physics in the database. If I copy the line of a modded physic and completely separate it to the original Atari car, It might work. I'll tell you if it does something good ;)

Yes ! Justice for DLC6 pack ! :nuts: But where are you gonna find all the 3D models for these cars ? They doesn't exist in the files. :hmmm:

[Djey]

Yes ! Justice for DLC6 pack ! :nuts: But where are you gonna find all the 3D models for these cars ? They doesn't exist in the files. :hmmm:

Yeah I know :) Here are DLC6's vehicles:

• Audi A4 DTM (?)
  
• Dino 246 GTS (cut a 246 GT)
  
• Cadillac Sixteen (?)
  
• Pontiac Solstice (mod a Saturn Sky or put Opel GT instead?)
  
• Diablo GT (model exists somewhere for sure)
  
• Nissan 350Z Roadster (cut a 350Z coupe or put 370Z instead)
  
• Triumph Daytona 995i (?)
  

 

Maybe remaining modders can help ? :D

[alonso10_1]

Ok Tob!! I only want to try to help you. I respect you. I hope your soluction will work. About the DLC6 it sounds fantastic!!

[Tob-Racer]

• Audi A4 DTM -> The A4 DTM exist but it's the 2008 model made by grin116.
  
• Dino 246 GTS -> The Dino exist in TD Ferrari Legends and can be converted. Maybe I can do it. :hmmm:
  
• Cadillac Sixteen -> The Sixteen is a bit more complicated, A 3D model exist but not sure we can convert it.
  
• Pontiac Solstice -> The Solstice have been made by Miha2795.
  
• Diablo GT -> The Diablo GT exist but it's not really a "GT" it's the GTR made by Tool831.
  
• Nissan 350Z Roadster -> YahooEU have made a 350Z Roadster back in 2009 but all the links are dead.
  
• Triumph Daytona 995i -> And there is no way we can find the Triumph Daytona sadly except someone have the patience to make a scratch model.

[Neddo]

Maybe somehow we could get DLC files and try to convert? But torrent is needed for that or unless someone bought it when available
