Djey : TDU Modding Tools [1.16.3]

[Djey]

Okay !

 

Have you tested it on a 1.45 TDU or a patched-1.66 one ?

 

I will provide a new magic map for these versions. Sorry for the inconvenience :ill:

 

Thanks Iced for pointing out the issue.

 

 

Edit : I've provided new magic maps (1.45 and 1.66 without megapack ones)

I would like a few people to test them before I update the first post. Please.

 

Have a nice day :)

[Djey]

*cough* :p

[T3hReaper91]

How big files will ure magic map support??

[Tool831]

Btw seeing your still making the tool djey, are you going to add a feature to be able to import custom texture sizes? :)

 

I hope so cause its annoying that all interiors i do go low quality cause the texture size is huge but needs to be resized soo much just to fit :(

[Djey]

@tool831 : I'm currently working on it :)

 

@T3hReaper : theorically, any file size is supported. If it's about the 1mb's 3DG issue, it's a bug of the Modding Tools. Let's check that by private messaging.

12-04 8:54PM @Paris :

1.6 beta is close to be ready :)

I'm currently making last tests. Expect to get it @ TDU:C on Monday the 8th at the latest.

 

Here is the change log :

- Main:

* Many bug fixes

* This release is the last one integrating Jeff Harris' BNK Editor

* Ability to launch TDU according to default and custom profiles

* Brand new system to save your settings

- MAP Tool:

* Key generator can use existing key file to make id searching easier

* Ability to copy id list to clipboard (Key Generator)

* New files supported by key update

- File Browser:

* Can transform your genuine Bnk1.map file into a "magic map" one

* File explorer now has 2 more views (small icons and details)

* Supported files have their own icons

* Explorer items have a contextual menu (just right-click on them)

- DDS to 2DB:

* (alpha feature) accepts textures with different size from the original. Please report any problem you shall encounter.

* still needs the original 2DB file to convert the DDS correctly

- 2DB to DDS:

* Enhancement in "multiple conversion" mode : folder where 2DB are stored is now displayed, so is a button opening explorer to this location

sounds good Djey

:p

[Djey]

I hope you'll enjoy it ;)

[Tool831]

I defiantly will. :D Specially trying out new sized textures.. That will so allow me to bring out 1000+ quality textures that are missing in my FTO/NSX also my cars im working on now like the CCX and CCXR. ;)

12-08 00:36AM @Paris :

1.6 beta IS ready :cheeky:

Check first post to download.

 

As always, please report any bug you shall encounter. Thanks.

It's missing the "settings.xml" file and won't open. :(

[Djey]

Hummm, very strange. This file is created automatically at first use.

 

Something prevents the app from creating new files into the xml subfolder.

Did you install it into the Program Files folder ? It's now protected by Vista.

So if you're under Vista, please ensure you run this tool as Administrator.

Edit : the rights bug should be fixed now. Updated file on server.

[Leadfoot[YT]]

Hmm... Forum didn't see my other reply. Anyway...

 

Run as admin worked, thanks! :)

 

Can't wait to make some sound mods with this (now that I don't have to worry about file legnths and sizes)!

[SPYFAN]

Great Tool but one question.

 

Does i understnad it right, i can´t install vehicles because i have no Bnk1.map for V1.66 with Megapack,right?

[Djey]

Yes, you can.

 

As "magic-map.zip" attachment is the magic map for 1.66 TDU + megapack.

 

If there were non magic map for this case, why would modders ask to use it ? ;)

Edit : user guide is ready.

[Shelbydude91]

works fine :D

[Racers Hardware]

no problems so far.

 

good work Djey!

[marshmarsh16]

ive had the tool for over a year now, and i dont understand how to use the colour changer :confused: need help please??

[marshmarsh16]

Djey's modding Tools

 

i was just wondering how you use the colour changing feature on Modding Tools V1.2. Thanks

[Iced_Bullet]

Wouldn't it have been best to use it's thread and not make a moderator (me) merge it?

[marshmarsh16]

Wouldn't it have been best to use it's thread and not make a moderator (me) merge it?

 

sorry, didnt have the decency to look for it, just rushing here.

[saladine1]

Djey, is there any headway on editing the CarVSTConfig.xmb file?

Being able to play around with that would be invaluable.

 

Thanks.

[Djey]

Hi,

 

no it's not possible at the moment. Working on XMB's is a great idea, but I had to priorize texture mangement over sound processing... moreover it's a proprietary format still.

nice Djey..... news are out :)

 

any news about the db`s and import of new cars without replacing existing cars?

do you know what the addon db managed where the 350nismo is listed? is this maybe a way to put new cars ingame?

[Djey]

No news about db so far. Only hackers could open these files; I'm not a hacker :)

 

Editable files in DB_xx.BNK archives are just translated contents for different cultures. Modding possibilities are limited indeed :oook:
