And now... TDU2 adventures awaits us all! Ibiza... here we come! :coolspot:

Thanks for your message. It's cool to know my spent time has really been appreciated.

see ya!

redl1ne · February 8, 2011

Djey, thank you ever so much for all the wonderful work you've done with TDU! I can't believe you're still releasing updates! I don't know what we'd do without you. :D

Also, (hope you don't mind if I go off-topic quickly...) Are we likely to see a TDU2 Modding Tools any time soon?

Hi,

as I'm frequently asked on what the next Modding Tools will be about etc., here is a quick&dirty preview of past, present and future features.

Of course, some of this info is not guaranteed in any kind, and depends hugely from modders' needs - and my spare time.

Here we go :

Version 1.10

Release date : july,16th - Celebrating 2 years of TDU Patch 1.66A

New wizard : vehicle manager
- many bug fixes in DB and BNK management
- mod installer
- manufacturer, model, version switcher
- dealer and V-RENT handler
- tuner management : ability to change tuning brand and location
- wheel drive changing (FWD / AWD / RWD)

File Browser can be set to use a particular folder when replacing files (new setting)

Progress bar while running patch

New patch instructions and variables

TDU Mod And Play! redistributable now complies with new modding rules. More news soon with 2CVSUPERGT

Version 1.11

Because of yellow facts, without having got agreement from staff here, this version is not uploaded/linked to TDU:C.

Release date : september

Vehicle manager follow-ups

Data
- all available cameras and IK sets added (some are not guaranteed to work, though)

Vehicle manager follow-ups
- datasheet facts
- gearbox type changing > ok, only changes driver animation and switching sound. Semi-auto setting is for fun only and will be removed in later version if no change is noticed.
- engine location setting > ok, only changes engine sound source
- ride height setting (front/rear) > may change maximum speed and cornering. So there will be value restrictions.
- suspension height and rate (front/rear) > testing finished. Looks like to have same impact as ride height.
- supercharger type > ok, only enables/disables turbo effect
- (max RPM tweaking) > ok, does not change performance - mainly lowers car performance if wrong setting :)
- (gearbox ratio / gear count tweaks) > Car behaviour changed but global performance is still the same (maximum speed cannot be changed)
- enhancing existing features
- ability to also change Camera and IK

Names and CarColor Editors are now obsolete and will be removed (use Vehicle Manager instead)

See change log : http://tdumodshop.forumactif.net/tools-f13/tdu-modding-tools-modder-edition-t55-60.htm#2068

[...]

Version 1.14

Release date : 4th April, 2010

Vehicle manager follow-ups
- datasheet facts : speed limiter setting. Putting higher value than default will get you kicked from online (till next attempt) > so setting it lower is only allowed.
- no physics change impacting vehicle behaviour (only camera, sound settings...).

See change log : http://tdumodshop.forumactif.net/tools-f13/tdu-modding-tools-modder-edition-t55-150.htm#4329

Version 1.15

Bug fixes

Vehicle Manager :
- new ops in exterior color management (change order / rename / copy-paste)
- additional (safe) physics parameters (settings not defined yet) > reported to 1.16.
- Advanced camera settings : ability to change cockpit cam positions.

Patch Editor improvements
- generate it, test it
- customize your mod picture
- customize installer name
- ...

New database tool
- ability to display database contents
- automatic data export to make patching easier > reported to 1.16.
- integrity check feature
- repair feature

Stunning new feature :drool:
- TrackPack module
- Hint: if you don't know how to use TDU's track editor, I advise you to train now :D

Current version: 1.16

Release date : 02-06-2011

See changelog @ Test Drive Unlimited: Central - View Single Post - Djey : TDU Modding Tools [1.16] + Extras

End of transmission - new features won't be added likely as TDU2 comes. Thanks.

thanks a lot! :)

Minime891 · February 13, 2011

Just thought i would say thanks for all your work towards TDU1. It is very much appreciated by everyone although they are not making a comment lol.

Djey · February 14, 2011

You're welcome !

rollingtheboy · February 15, 2011

Epic last release!!

Kurgan777 · February 19, 2011

Is there any way to get rid of the grey'd out squares so I can only see cars that are actually moddable???

I was able to get the Bugatti Type 57 to show up with an XML Editor, so what do I change to remove the grey squares completely?

Djey · February 20, 2011

Just ignore them, then ;)

Kurgan777 · February 24, 2011

I found something that TDUMT doesn't like but TDU itself doesn't care about, fractions in the top speed listing.

I set up some physics for the Aston Martin Rapide, and gave it the listed 302.5 kph top speed setting with TDUPE, the game launched and ran fine but when I went to make further adjustments to the ride height with TDUMT, an error screen popped up and it refused to load the car.

I removed the fraction from the top speed and it loaded up fine.

EDIT: Is TDUMT not compatible with the manual method of resizing rims???

Every time I try to do it, I get an "Unable to load requested vehicle data" popup error.

Is there a way to force it to load the data after editing rim size???

Miczelov · March 1, 2011

Great tool, but you should think about edition for users of some eastern europe languages TDU versions. In many cases it doesn't work with them.

I have same problem at begining - i've bought normal version (not gold) of tdu, but when i tried to use TDUMT, it shows bugs like when trying to use it with gold edition.

Solution is easy - replace DataBase folder with version of the En/De/Fr/etc. edition. But then language changes to english.

Maybe you should give users possibility to choose language what they use in game?

It would be great if everyone can change car names, modding physics etc. in their own language game versions.

Oh - And you definietly should add support to gold edition - many peoples buying it because its cheaper than TDU + megapack separately.

- Setting this value to a half has really no sense to me as this game is not a sim. Most people do not care about that.

But thanks for the feedback anyway :)

- Manual resizing : don't know detailed procedure but strange enough, some have largely modified database manually without probs. Use database editor checking feature to see what's wrong in it.

It's been 2 versions the tools may analyze and potentially repair corrupted files, but it's desperating to see noone cares either.

Already thought about it a while ago, and for the fair advantage the game and me would get in return I forgot the idea, sorry.

So use western europe database files and play in english instead, if you really want mods.

Oh, and TDUMT 1.xxx development is now over. TDU2's state, physics and limitations does not encourage me to fight again in the future btw.

Kurgan777 · March 10, 2011

The error check was one of the first things I did after both events, but it didn't find any errors.

Djey · March 13, 2011

Il will have a look at those corrupted data if I get bored by life. Feel free to provide files (databases + full logs).

Djey · March 14, 2011

Offline documentation updated!

- added answer to 'how to add a car into showroom ?' :) -

Limitation? What limitation? Over at xentax we can run TDU2 unpacked and all we need is a BNK packer to support the new bnk encryption.

We also do not have a file size limitation, TDU2 doesn't that file from TDU1 the bnk.map file.

That's pretty much it for car modding. :lol:

Kurgan777 · March 14, 2011

The Steam version of TDU-2 would have whatever you did repaired within the next 48 hours, and the standalone PC version of the game has tanked in sales, 20,000 copies world wide.
