Djey, if you have some free time, could you write me some simple guidelines, nothing too much, on how to make groups for autoinstaller? I'm out of ideas, tried to make it on my own but I'm clueless. :D Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. ;)

 

EDIT:

Nevermind, edwin explained me how to do it. :)

I'm addressing all moders in this post:

 

Sorry to provide not much information about it. That's not my cup of tea to be honnest.

The annoying part is also to keep everything updated as the tools always evolve.

 

That's the reasons why I support as 200% people making tutorials about using Modding Tools. And as some modders know, i'm trying to be available to answer your questions.

 

You have to keep in mind, to avoid some conflicts I already had with people, I can't take people by the hand and will refuse definitely. I think learning is more efficiently by oneself (as all TDU modding anyway) - I'd be just what we call in french 'un petit coup de pouce' = a little help.

 

That has worked for many modders for now, so it's possible for anyone there's no magic in this.

 

Thank you for using my tools anyway :)

Thanks to Reilsss, I've fixed amount of bugs concerning vehicle painting, I hope the next version will prevent this issue. Oh and he has also updated his famous car colors list, allowing you to choose TDU colors even more accurately.

 

You will have to keep me informed after release ;)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

as 1.15 is certainly the heaviest TDU Modding Tools of its timelife, I'm afraid changes I've been done could harm game data or make bad publicity about installers

(considering every modder does his job correctly and seriously tests his install scripts before releasing anything ;) ).

 

So it will need more testing before the GO. And it will happen.

 

In the meantime, here is the release log :)

* Allows to change parameters for those challenges

+ Exterior color sets: position changing / renaming / copy-pasting.

* New detailed error message when error during patching

* Click on picture > displays a web page defined in the script.

 

- Modding Library (for developers):

* TDUModdingLibrary.fileformats.database.helper.DatabaseHelper

> added LoadDatabase(...) method, loading the whole database for read/write operations

> method SelectCellsFromTopicWherePrimaryKey(string, DB, params string[]) : now returns an empty array if search fails
