Djey : TDU Modding Tools [1.16.3]

[Shy Guy]

What I meant was it didn't root from there, but now I found where it is, its working now.

Hello Djey, nice to see you've released the 1.6.1 however.. Just a questing when is the full 7.1? i believe it was? coming out? Just wondering, also how is your experimental features going, cause that would be soo great if you could get both working. :)

[Djey]

All I can say is:

I'm currently working on the Tools 1.7 beta' date=' version which will be available about the 9th of February.[/quote']

 

Final version will be out a few days after, depending on beta feedback.

 

Concerning exp. features, I assume you'll find the first one in a beta state with the 1.7b, the second one, is rather complicated and I'm afraid only very few people will use it, like CarColors Editor.

To change car and brand names, I think it will be better to provide you from a code reference table that you will use with DBEditor ou your favourite text editor.... that's my today's feeling :)

Greetings to all : )

 

After installing the magic map, when I click those game events (e.g. races, time attacks, missions...), the info just show "loading data" and I am not able to enter the races. Being an offline player, is there any methods I can enter those events with the magic map installed??

 

Thank you and sorry for my poor English : )

[Djey]

Hi,

 

your problem can't be related to magic map, provided you're using right magic map file according to your tdu version;

you may always patch your original bnk1.map file with File Browser (Tools menu).

 

It seems to be a radial issue... have you tried to delete this radial.cdb file yet ? TDU Modding Tools can help you to do this, by creating a custom launcher. See online help for details :)

[Ruki]

Trying to change/add a car model with this, quite confused. Any simple readme without the complex terminology?

[Djey]

At the moment, Modding Tools 1.7 are not intended to end-users and are at an early state (that's why they are called beta). Moreover, user guide will be updated soon; and Patch Editor will have its own section (if it's what you are are referring to) for final version. Just let me have a rest please :)

 

Anyway, to add a car, manual steps work very well and are not really a pain imo.

Please check corresponding tutorials.

Thanks for your reply DJ : ) Right now my TDU version is 1.66 with megapatch, and the magic map I downloaded is the "default one". I have tried [original cars + original bnk], and the game runs smoothly, but once I try [original cars + magic map], then the events keep showing "loading data" and I cannot enter (like the pic I show here).

[Djey]

Weird thing... I remember of such a problem when I used a joypad and analog stick was mapped to directions on the map - thus preventing the cursor from locking onto a map spot.

 

You're the first person to report this issue with magic map. I'm afraid I can't help you. If anyone else has ideas ...

[Andreas¹]

Great news Djey, keep up the great work on this great... Modding Tool :D

[Latetzki]

Btw, if I get Mega Car Pack which MagicMap should I install then?

[Djey]

@Latetzki : First one definitively.

HI Djey Thx for the program tools... But i have a problem... the TDU Modding Tools dont launch the game :(... and TDU Mod And Play What is?

[Djey]

Hi,

 

- please ensure TDU folder is correctly set in File>Settings.... Does FileBrowser correctly display your TDU files and folders ?

 

- ModAndPlay! is a stand-alone tool able to run patches made with Patch Editor.

I'm currently writing about this subject in the guide.

[kuenzelde]

So is it now possible to change car names with this tool?
