Djey : TDU Modding Tools [1.16.3]

[Djey]

TDU MODDING TOOLS

"TDU Modding Tools" is a handy Free package which allows Modders and End-Users :

- to provide a easier way to view and edit BNK files and their contents

- to convert .2DB [DirectDraw Surface] to .DDS files (and .DDS to .2DB back). Its purpose is to allow texture modding (and future model conversion) to occur easily and efficiently.

- to install mod files easily on a 'check or dragndrop' fashion

- to tune your cars (brand, names, physics, colors...) but with some restrictions - always allowing to ride online safely

- to adjust driving cameras

- to view & edit database resource files

- to make installers and patches for your own mods

- to display, check and fix databases

- to edit and share custom tracks online with your friends.

 

Windows XP users, make sure you have MS .NetFramework 2.0 [sP2] installed [D'load here]

QUESTION!!!

 

Why is that when I downloaded the BNK file EDitor and the this File format converter a dialog box always appears and says " The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application"...

 

 

HELP!!!

[Djey]

Hi,

 

you have to install the MS .net Framework 2.0 first

Version 1.3 finally available !

 

As always see you at :

 

http://www.testdriveunlimited.fr/index.php?file=Forum&page=viewtopic&forum_id=31&thread_id=2336

 

Of course, TDU: Central is allowed to host this file elsewhere, to your convenience.

[Iced_Bullet]

Yay thank you :D

 

E: Can't find a direct d'load .... :(

 

E2: :D Found it.

[Iced_Bullet]

Djey ... would it be possible to encorporate something similar to TDU_to_X as it doesn't work on any of my computers ... and they all have the .NetFrame work installed. It makes viewing what the .2db files are, much easier when you can convert all the .2dbs from a .bnk in one go! :)

[Djey]

Hi,

 

okay, you're right. Modding Tools is not able to convert a set of 2db files to dds. Once extracted they have to be dropped 1 by 1 into the converter ... which is really annoying.

 

Let me look for a solution in TDU Modding Tools 1.4 or 1.5 :

- either by giving a folder name into the converter (rather than one file name)

- or directly from the File Browser (a kind of "extract-then-convert" function)

 

Thanks for your ideas :cool:

[Iced_Bullet]

no problem :) It would save a lot of time when trying to find the correct .2db to mod :)

 

[Djey]

Since 1.3, there's a file browser. If you've associated the dds file type with dxtbmp.exe, you may quickly view what texture hides behind each 2db file ;)

[The Queen]

Sounds good. Thanks for the update! ;)

[Djey]

I'm pleased this too helps you. 1.4 development is going well (ending expected in about. 2-3 weeks).

[Iced_Bullet]

Yay :D Then I can start modding the GPS if you do include multiple conversions .... as the GPS has 100 + files and I'm not converting them one-by-one just to find out the ones I want!

 

:D:D:D

[Djey]

I was just making my mind about this point... I could add this new function to File Browser but it won't integrate well with other commands :rolleyes: (since it should only affect 2db files...)

 

Another solution is to enhance 2DB to DDS converter so that it supports converting all files from a BNK (like Scrat-Petit Converter). And even from a directory.

 

 

A new GPS mod ? Cool.

I haven't tested the last GPS mod (by dc300m02) yet.

[Djey]

Just to illustrate current work ... :p
