TDU Colors - Guide

---

This file has a preview of all usable TDU colors.  It's a great guide for those who want to add a new color for the vehicles directly in the database. 

The name of each preview image is actually the name of the color code in the database.

I was wondering. Is there a way to REALLY add a color? I mean, all the colors seems to use colors that have a certain name/code: B_01, B_02, etc... For exemple, you've shown a color named Akoya Silver Metallic and it use bm_18.

But what if I want to add a color that isn't coded in yet, like let say I want to add Panther Pink/Moulin Rouge, and I don't find an equivalent in all the colors that exist and that you've shown in the palette, can I add that color to the palette using R,G,B value, or the hue, saturation and brightness values to the database?

I'm asking 'cuz I looked at that part of the Database with TDUF and I don't seems to see any values like this, only the "codes" that I refered to in in my first phrase.

Right, color codes are not in the database. They are declared as materials in the Colors.bnk file. A work is in progress for that matter... Stay tuned.

Currently you can't add more colors other than these ones that already exist. Mostly because a color takes more than just a rgb scale. It has the finish, different shades and so on. That's why custom color shop can't replicate some colors with accuracy.  And as Djey said, the colors are in another file, such as Colors.2dm, which is a material file. 

 

So, at the moment, no Moulin Rouge. Sadly.

Thanks for the replies. ^^

I hope! I know it's a pink color, but I fell in love with that color on those old muscle cars. Mostly with the white interiors!

I did make a custom Colors.2dm for TDU2, so it is possible. 

[TDUZoqqer]

It sure is, but there is / was no way of editing 2DM files for TDU1 reliably as of what I know. Exporting a blank 3DG from ZModeler did not work, and the world editor is not advanced enough. No idea how you did it for TDU2 but it sure is awesome to know it works.

[Minime891]

Are the colors for the interior in the same 2DM?

Each TDU2 car had it's own 2DM so it was no effort to make one.

The interior colors in TDU1 are in colors.bnk, which contains colors.2dm, all exterior, interior and caliper colors are in there, hence why I was wondering since there is no 3DG to make it work with zmodeler
