Wow. :oook:

This will be my last word, so that everyone to be warned.

I won't answer any request till much more details will be provided.. I'm not a wizard as I already said. And I know in 80% the answers are only by yourself.

Sorry for the inconvenience but such things are really driving me nuts. Sure you'll understand anyway.[/size]

wow my bad sorry man

Djey · June 17, 2009

In the other hand, I'm surprised you cannot see the Pagani in camera list. As all vehicles should be there, unlike Custom Names Editor.

:confused:

The only car that is not in the Camera/IK Wizard is the Lexus LS460.

Djey · June 17, 2009

Thanks for feedback. I will add it in next version :)

Why I'm getting this error?

This happens when I try to use the "Camera & IK" function.

I'm using the last version of the Mod Tools (1.9), the path to TDU folder is correct, anybody knows how to solve this? It's already running as admin.

Hi,

thanks for the details and screenshot. By the way, I see in your pic you have no folders so all files are messing around at th same level.

Please extract Modding Tools again, keeping directories this time.

Hint : there should be xml and patch directories.

its nice tool:) but i have a problem. Worked nice for sometime and now i get errori: Unable to load car physics data. Please check settings. My main folder and everything is set properly:(

Djey · June 18, 2009

Ok, you can help me with finding the cause; please follow instruction in the 3rd paragraph and attach requested file here.

Then, as your DB.BNK file is corrupted in my opinion, so the thing you've to do is to use backup of this file to go on with enjoying TDU.

Thanks a lot.

Seizure · June 18, 2009

heh fixed it. thx for giving me idea that it was corrputed. i replaced it with my backup db.bnk and voila...works:D

Have a good day!;)

Djey · June 18, 2009

Thanx in advance.

Djey · June 23, 2009

No problem, your request is already in TO-DO list for next update.

And if you need to, you can also request any other vehicles before next monday.

;)

Shy Guy · June 23, 2009

Djey · June 23, 2009

Djey, 2 questions. Do you know something about filesize limitation for 3dg files? I have the phenomenon when my file is bigger then 700kB the games crashs to desktop if i leave the garage.

And the second one. Have you seen any chance to raise up the numbers of selectable wheels for cars that only have one in the selection?

This one i can answer :cheeky:

The .3dg file is not limited itself it is the .bnk file

So if you have many large textures then takes up most of the .bnk file then you import a .3dg file that could push you over the limit of the .bnk file.

There are ways around this without loosing your model or textures even and it is not hard to do.

I can import a car that is 2mb with textures without it crashing.

Also different cars have differnt size .bnk files so say the Golf will crash before the skyline.

Yes, there are 2 known problems already experienced with 3D models (2CVSUPERGT, Tool and Reaper are aware of that)

- a 3DG with size > 1MB may prevent the model from being displayed in-game (too many polygons or so ??)

- an exterior BNK with size >= 3MB causes the same thing (you will notice there's no original 3D exterior model with size >= 3MB anyway). Interior BNKs are fine.

Although I have not spent much time on these issues, it seems to be gfx engine limitations.

And the second one. Have you seen any chance to raise up the numbers of selectable wheels for cars that only have one in the selection?

Yes it's possible to mod that, 2CVSUPERGT is testing that kind of tricks at the moment. If all is right, I will add this feature to Modding Tools. I can't give any release date yet.
