Djey : TDU Modding Tools [1.16.3]

[Andreas¹]

Iced, I'm sorry, real n00b moment, but can you help me with a link for the 1.4 version? :) I can't find one :cheeky:

[Iced_Bullet]

Go to the official site link then click on (1.4) And voila!

[Andreas¹]

Hmm, I read through it all I thought... :cheeky:

 

[e] Aha! Found it, thanks :D Didn't know you could click those little numbers :p

[Djey]

Fixed. I've just underlined numbers for them to appear as links.

[Djey]

:bananahello:

 

1.5 version's approaching !

 

This time there will be a public beta only.

 

Release for September the 8th. :sclin:

[Eudemon]

Djey do you want control of this thread so you can update when you can?

[Tool831]

Yay! updated tool released just near my birthday.. my bday on the 9th. By the way sorry if asked or answered but what is the updates you are doing to the tool djey?

[Djey]

Djey do you want control of this thread so you can update when you can?

Ok.

 

But I haven't the time to provide duplicate links as Iced does every time for example. I have already to update the project home page @ tdu.fr.

The best solution would be that we'd maintain the topic together.

 

Thanks.

 

By the way sorry if asked or answered but what is the updates you are doing to the tool djey?

A few facts :

- Some bugs fixed

- GUI enhancements (less annoying messages)

- MAP Tool more convenient

- Database editor

- New replace functions (doesn't cut / fill anymore)

- ...

[Eudemon]

Well he is the moderator of the modding section so he can still edit your original post as can with the control given to you, but as it is just now only he and other staff can edit the original post.

[Djey]

Okay, I understand how it's working now.

I agree to have rights onto the original post.

[Eudemon]

Done! :D

Sweet, that map tool is what i need most. Can you get that working so when changing a size we can use 'BNK Editior' cause it doesn't work with it. Cause myself and basbas (i think) use that tool alot.

[Djey]

Tool, could you be more precise about what you expect of MAPTool ?

 

For example,

 

- do you want the Bnk1.map updates automatically when the BNK file size changes ?

 

- are you using BNK Tool to create bigger files without truncating contents ?

 

- are you using File Browser ?

 

As I'm planning to remove BNK Tool, it's full of bugs and very user-unfriendly. File Browser and BNK Editor will suit your needs I think.

 

Please.

[Tool831]

Well i use the map tool to change size and that's all but then after i change size i have to use the 'BNK Tool' from yours, which everytime i replace a file i have to save then do it again & again etc. I wanna be able to change size and use Jeffery harris's 'BNKFileEditor' editor. I haven't used you file browser yet, i thought it was for something else.. :o

---

 

So your saying if i change a size i can use your 'File browser' then replace everyfile i want with out it popping up saying i have to save. And that the file size ive change will stay? :) If so then WooT!

 

By the way i hope i made sence?

[Djey]

Yes very clear. In fact you're not the only person to use succesfully the BNK Tool to replace files, whereas I didn't test it much and dropped its development ages ago ! I'm suprised.

 

 

At the moment (1.4), File Browser knows how to replace a file into a BNK - just like BNK Editor. Thus by truncating/filling files when needed :

 

To open a BNK file :

- either by choosing a file in TDU's hierarchy

- either by "drag and drop" a BNK file to BNK Manager area (lower right corner)

 

To replace files by bigger/lighter ones without altering them (the BNK Size will be updated too), you'll have to wait for 1.5 version - about which I gave plannings above.

 

And yes, File Browser is silent and more convenient when working on files :D

 

 

Please have a look at the guide for more details :

[Tool831]

Okay ill do that for now, till 1.5 version... :D

[Djey]

Download it from the first post.

[Tool831]

*drools* You are a god of the modding tools. :D

Edit: Oh umm do you know all bugs/errors etc? cause well its a beta but if i come across anything shall i report it?

[Djey]

Yes. You just have to send me a MP or to post here, with as many details as possible about this bug/crash/bsod :)

[Djey]

News ! If everything goes well, 1.5 final version of TDUMT will be available around September the 22nd.

 

There will be mainly bug fixes and GUI improvements, according to testers' reviews.

 

Feature list for v1.6 is closed and will be given soon.

[Djey]

1.5 out !!!

 

As you were all awaiting, it's here ! See first post for details+

 

I'll update this post later for 1.6 features :)

 

 

To admins : I don't know if there's a bug, I can't change the thread's title... I thought I just would have to edit the first post's title... but that does nothing. (also noticed on the Alfa GT thread) :(

[Iced_Bullet]

Urm, is there a 'Thread Tools' thing at the top? To edit it I use 'Edit Thread' in there.

[Djey]

Thanks for the title update anyway :)

[Djey]

Hi,

 

here are features for next version (1.6):

• DDS To 2DB Convertor : simpler and more accurate, without old 2db file
  
• File Browser: context menus for BNK files (at least)
  
• File Browser: list/details display
  
• File Browser: new icons for BNK and supported file types
  

 

then feature ideas (so I can't guarantee all of them will be ready);

-by priority order-

• 1. File Browser: better MAP integration (auto-fixing)
  
• 2. MAP Tool: easier search for missing ids
  
• 3. Main: ability to run scripts (to patch map and files)
  
• 4. File Browser: a file indexer, allowing to search files and packed files by name
