Djey : TDU Modding Tools [1.16.3]

[SLRRR]

Awesome to see that you're working on so many new options for this tool :D +rep

[Trackah123]

@Djey

 

XMB support for sound processing (would allow to fine tune engine / ambient sounds)

 

I need that! :thumbsup: so then i can make my toyota supra sound even better. Higher volume@higher Revs.

[Djey]

For one time sooner is the better ! As I've just finished including all 1.9 features, current release is ready. You shall refer to first post to download.

 

From now on, I won't be making beta versions anymore, but this tool is provided 'as is' still. So please keep me informed about potential bugs you could encounter (I know there will be).

 

Finally I will be able to begin working on 1.10. yeah ! :)

and updating user guide, since it's very odd now

 

Enjoy.

 

note for myself : I have to update screenshot too. :oook:

[Trackah123]

Is the carvstconfig.XMB file "XMBF" something like an XML file or really a unique TDU file from Atari?

[Djey]

No, it's not a XML file unfortunately.

Some other proprietary format, opened/edited with a proprietary tool.

[Trackah123]

aww too bad, otherwise i could've tried another tool for now temporarily to edit those xmb files so i can make good soundmods.

 

i'm not a programmer so the only thing i can do is wait for a proper xmb editing tool.:)

 

anyway keep up the good work Djey :thumbsup:

Thank you so much djey!

 

My newest mod (Porsche carrera GT) needed the camera's changed and i have done it now (Swapped the Audi TT on the Vanquish) and my mod is now better to have interior view.

 

+rep :D

[Skepsis]

You deserve an UBERMODDER title man ,thank you!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

One question though ,regarding the camera views ,is it possible to program one button so that when you're in the game ,you can change camera positions on the fly ,like cycling through all of them one by one each time you press the button? :confused:That would be SO MUCH easier:thumbsup: than renaming the model zillion times and trying classically to find the a good view first and then changing it from outside of the game. Tell me you can do that please!:ill:

 

p.s. big THX again for your hard work ,keep it up!:bow:

[Djey]

:) If it was possible, I would have made it like this, already... but you have to restart the game to change database. No other solution.

 

Neithertheless I don't think it's hard to use... simply apply camera and IK sets from the car which is replaced initially. It should work well.

[Skepsis]

Wait the minute,so it doesn't even function like with 3dmodels/sounds(just alt-tab/win button when in dealership, change files/samples and back in the game)? I have to restart the game every time?

(I'm not whining,just asking;))

I've managed to change camera's without exiting, just use what you just said.. :cheeky:

[Djey]

I thought it was highly unpossible, but so...

great news ;)

 

But changing cameras is not like swapping models. As it concerns directly database files, all I know these are loaded at startup-time only....

Kewl! In your face Djey!:monkeydance:;):D

[Shy Guy]

The Camera and IK swap is great! I can finally put the Nissan GTR on the Noble M400 without bugs(I found the Skyline IK to have bugs, so I used the RTurbo's) and other cars aswell! :) +Rep

[Skepsis]

hmm I wasn't able to do the "hot swapping" of the camera positions like you said tool... Would you describe precisely what you did to change cameras without restarting the game?

[Dani_ReiS]

fanstastic v1.9 thx a lot

[Zpectre]

That's a major breakthrough!!! I hope in the near future it's possible to change dealership at which the cars are sold (so that you can move them around keeping the performance of the car you want to replace). In the PC version there are some dealers with empty spaces.

[Djey]

Just stay tuned ;)

[Shy Guy]

Can anyone help me on this, how can I move the cars in the Pontiac Dealer to the Japan Imports(All cars not individiual cars)

[Djey]

The tools don't allow to do it right now, so you've got to wait for next version,

Either you could post in Mod Talk I think.

:)

Well Djey that's fantastic! I really appreciate your work since TDU is my favourite racing game for PC. The only missing thing would be performance editing which could be halted because of the cheating but there's so many people with trainers that I don't think Atari would bother with changing speed of cars through editing of game files...

 

BTW is this an entirely new vehicle with SSR data or an SSR replacement?

[Shy Guy]

No I'm not talking about that, I'm talking like how do I close a dealer and open the other, like "dc300m02" did with the Nissan's and Japanese Imports.

[Djey]

Since 1.66 patch, Atari have set a data checking feature up through their servers. It appears current car characteristics are compared with a clean TDU copy > disconnecting database modders in online.

 

So don't expect too much about performance editing. It could be really fair.

 

Cheaters with trainers are less affected... very disappointing once more.

[Shy Guy]

I think showing the video would help you understand

 

 

I just want to move all the cars in the Pontiac Dealer to the Japan Imports.
