Hi,

after several weeks of development, first alpha version of Database Editor finally is ready :)

That's a tool with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) I will use and enhance over time to forge new community patch.

 

And I decided to let everyone give it a go! Your feedback will be greatly appreciated, so please report any bugs!

 

Also, please keep in mind that it is called ALPHA for a reason, you should use it carefully as it may damage your game!

Thus, you always ought to make a backup of your TDU database before using it!

 

 

Main features:

 

  • Opens and saves a database from/to JSON form
  • Provides profiles to address different modding use cases (car editing, tuning kits ...)
  • Displays all fields within a topic, in an ordered manner
  • Makes changes easier for special values (percent, bitfields etc.)
  • Enables navigation over entries in same or different topics
  • Displays all resources within a topic, for all locales (=languages)
  • Adds / changes / deletes / duplicates a particular content entry
  • Adds / changes / deletes a particular resource entry
  • Searches particular content/resource entry with its REF
  • Imports data from TDUF (mini-patch file .json)
  • Imports data from TDUPE (Performance Pack .tdupk)
  • Exports current entry to following forms: EDEN-classic/TDUPE, TDUMT, TDUF mini-patch
  • Exports all entries for topics not supporting REF.

 

 

What you will need to run it

Same as TDUF!

 

 

 

 

Running it!

  • Launch TDUF.cmd script from Windows Explorer (you may need to create a desktop shortcut to this file)
  • (once, to check) Type and run: java -version (should answer with 'java version 1.8.xxxxxx etc')
  • Type and run: Alpha-DatabaseEditor "C:\Program Files (x86)\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Database\"

(using proper file location on your system).

Your database seems to have an issue : the code '784' is present twice in brands file and may cause issues.

Please send me your database files (all BNK).

 

If you wanna continue testing the program, please use original database for now.

 

 

Edit:

I found what's going on. I did not expect your TDU database to be customized like that...

Interesting enough, brands resource files are just a "copy-paste" of french ones :)

 

TDU does not seem to care about it, so I'll change database loader for next version.

Yes, sadly I can't do much for now.

Process is rather complicated and may lead to errors :(

 

But it does just require one single command since ALPHA 3 ;)

Wow, I just read and understood what the program is made for.

 

Very interesting, very technical - but I will give it a try soon.

Thank you very much for your work.

Hey DJey, may you help me? I tried out the TDUF editor, but most of the columns remain blanc, like the only field I can switch is "Default" and it's empty. Happens on CarPhysics, CarColors and many more. What's the issue?

 

E: Maybe it tells you something

hi zoqqer,

Please attach your database bnk files in a reply or send via pm. I'm afraid your database can't be read correctly by tduf. I will fix this. Thanks.

Hi, this issue does not concern alpha editor so I will answer in tduf main thread directly.

Hey Tob, great to see you back here :)

Yeah, Le Mans was my first race experience, and not the least. We had very good time over there, although we were exhausted by these days (and night) at the race track.

Btw,

 

ALPHA 6 now released !

- Introduces new feature: export current entry to TDUF Mini Patch file, when possible

 

- Fix: cloned entry now gets a unique, generated REF to prevent collisions with existing entries

- Fix: does not crash anymore when corrupted database (missing resource value for some locales)

 

- Adds small UI improvements and tweaks (thanks to TDUZoqqer).
