TDU Mods : Rim-Swapping / Modifying / Colouring *Video Update* [Tutorials]

[Iced_Bullet]

In this series of threads, I'm listing and giving tutorials on how to improve your game-play. These are not instructions, or officially related to Atari in any way. They are tutorials created by me, for the sole purpose of giving you the chance to improve your gameplay.

 

I take no responsibility in your game going corupt or damaged. I cannot be help responsible for damages to game files or profiles. However this is highly unlikely to happen ;)

 

Anyway, on with the tutorial of Rim-Swapping ...

 

Make sure you back up everything, unless you want to have to reinstall TDU when you decide the rims don't look as good.

Rim Swapping:

This is a very simple process, and requires a bit of "trial and error". You can only replace any rim file by another which is smaller in file size (bytes).

Step 1

Find the rims you wish to move to another car (C:\Program Files\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Vehicules\Rim) - and copy. [i will be placing my 'SKYGTR_F_01.bnk' Skyline rims on the 575 Maranello in this demonstration]

 

Step 2

Find the rims you wish to replace - paste the replacment rims into the folder and delete the original rims you wish to change [i will be deleting the '[/color]F575_M_F_01.bnk' 575 Maranello rims and copying the 'SKYGTR_F_01.bnk' Skyline rims into the Ferrari Folder]

 

Step 3

Rename the Copied rims to the name of the deleted (origianl) rims. [i've renamed the copied 'SKYGTR_F_01.bnk' Skyline rims to 'F575_M_F_01.bnk' (575 rims)]

 

And there you have it. Rims have been swapped.

Rim Back-up files needed!

 

Hello guys!

I was just modding around with wheel changes, but i forgot to make a back-up file of them all.

So if anybody would be nice to put it in a Zip and upload it/send me via msn, that person will be +repped and will get a beer or 2 :p

Please help, as i can't play TDU no-more and i don't want to reinstall it, because then i have to put back all the other things. I just need the back-ups. :)

(Maybe it's an idea to open a topic and put back-ups of the Rims and sounds?)

Well at least your TDU didn't mess your computer up! I can't even use TDU anymore, my TDU is worthless since it's CD Key is registered and I can't reinstall because of that.

[Eudemon]

This could well be very very nugget worthy.

[Camel]

This could well be very very nugget worthy.

haha, indeed.

[Mb]

This could well be very very nugget worthy.

What's so nugget about forgetting to make a back-up, or is there something else? :p

 

At the moment MadMax is sending me a Zip file with everything in it :D

[eleKtro]

You asked me so, I couldn't say no to this.

[Camel]

You asked me so, I couldn't say no to this.

yes you could.:twisted:

[eleKtro]

yes you could.:twisted:

 

Put yourself in MB situation, how much of an ass would you feel :D

[Mb]

Maxie, i can't give you rep, need to spread first.

Anyone up for some rep? :p

[Iced_Bullet]

Me! for giving you a brilliant guide on how to do it and also on telling you on MSN about the sound swapping :)

[hesonly5]

I'll have some if it's flying around :p

[Eudemon]

How about the fact that every guide or download link tells you to backup first ! ;)

[ExplosiveGoats]

I would like some rep.:D Why cant you play though?

[Mb]

How about the fact that every guide or download link tells you to backup first ! ;)

How about i know? ;) I Back up everything. :p

I only didn't notice i forgot this.

Now my Pontiac GTO is running on Shelby GR-1 Shoes :D

[Aquila DK]

Plus rep me for.... Being Danish XD

[Car Freak]

My rep is down in the dumps... :D

[Car Freak]

Could anyone tell me which rims the SLK55 Performance Pack uses? I wanna swap those with teh Brabus Monoblock rims, cos the regular ones are too small

[Car Freak]

[me™]

Aaah, yeah. I've already done that to my SLK 55. It's AMG10_F01.bnk it uses for anybody else who wants to know, but that's also the SL 65 wheels.

[Mb]

These need a swap aswell. :)
