In your opinion. luckily your opinion is not fact.... We dont all think the same as you..

In short..unpack your game, download the mod, replace the game files with the ones in the mod file.

Yeah i knew about converting the 2db first, i just wasnt sure which DDS format setting it was supposed to be. So that will be a great help now. Cheers mate, much appreciated. :thumbsup:

Hey guys.. This should be fairly easy for anyone thats involved in modding cars to answer for me... i did try looking but i couldnt find anything that really answered it for me... I wanted to start messing about with textures in tdu2. I know all the 2db files are basically just DDS images, but what format DDS? there are plenty to choose from and i have no idea if its gonna be DXT 1 RGB, DXT 1 ARGB, DXT 3, DXT 5. Could some kind soul shed a little light for me please.. Cheers muchly.. Nobby.

Just because Zmodeler has a TDU2 import function doesnt mean it can import everything.... It was designed for cars, not buildings. If you want access to the 3d model data for anything other than cars, you will need to find another way... something like a 3d data grabber or an import script for a 3d app is what you need...

The way you update the game is by connecting as normal using UPLAUNCHER and it will detect you are not updated, then go and get them for you. So the answer would be NO you cannot manually download what updates you choose. besides you wouldnt be able to play online, ever. You must be FULLY updated to go online. (unless your running a pirate copy then it wouldnt really matter about going online)

If any version is gonna work then it will be V1.2 as that was the one that worked with the DLC2 update (but 1.3 didn't) so its worth a try Before you go shouting your mouth off, make sure you know what you are talking about. NO 1.2 is NOT a virus i have V1.2 myself and i can assure you the link on this site does not give you a virus.. If you downloaded it from another site then thats a risk you take, but the link for 1.2 on this site is NOT a virus. Have you ever heard of such a thing as a "false positive"??? its something that happens when a program ( usually trainers, hacks or mods) behaves in a similar way to a virus, so your anti virus program thinks it is one. LEARN TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE going on about files being infected with a virus when they are not can seriously damage a modders reputation. Which in turn could make them decide to stop modding altogether. So next time make sure 100% that it is actually a virus and not just a false positive before you go announcing something as damaging as that!

You think thats bad. Donnie is testament to this.... we have a user on tdumods .... He can be part of the main convo when we are trying to work something out. then once we have got it all working he will be the first person to ask " so how do i do this now??" you are just left totally gob smacked, its like " MY GOD BOY, you helped put all this together how can you be asking what to do.. " Noobs. they will over throw us with their vastly superior stupidity... :D

then you probably didnt save it as the correct type of Wav file

Donnie broke the forums. shame on you. shame shame shame lol

swap one of the samples you extracted for a new sample then repackage it.. then put the new package into the game in place of the one already there. If you dont know how to do any of that then follow this tutorial its the best ive seen for sound replacment. its showing how to change songs on the radio but the same principle applies to all sounds.. Badman-Custom-Radio-Guide

NEVER FEAR DONNIE IS HERE. hehe

The differences are quite subtle, perhaps too subtle for you to notice. but i for sure can see the differences between the two cars. Very nice work StarGT keep it up mate. :thumbsup:

TDU modding tools 1.16.1 is for TDU1 not TDU2 And note the latest version of TDU2 is v31 Build 15 But yeah Modding tools 1.16.1 probably wont work at all for tdu2 (thats is why modding tools v2 is being written and why this is a modding tools v2 thread you are posting in)

Very nice work Star :thumbsup:

I guess someone will find this useful, but i dont really see the point for most people.. If you mod anything in the game you will always be running universal launcher, if you dont mod the game you will pretty much always be using uplauncher. its not like we really need to switch between the two on a regular basis... Even without the 2 shortcuts on the desktop, its still no real bother to run one or the other, both are sat in the main game folder and both have similar names so they are right next to each other in the file list. Just a case of " do i click this icon, or move down one file and click that one" Nice that you made something for the community, but in all honesty id say the majority of people would never need to use it.

you can't fix it now sorry... you took too long doing this ( my last post in this thread was a month ago ) and they have patched it out of the game. the only way you can play unpacked, with mods using universal launcher is to play off line now. If you want to play online you will have to launch the game via uplauncher ( which means you will have to play the game packed again, which means no mods) also using uplauncher will make the cheater message go away Untill someone figures out how to bypass the online authentication we all have to play online in packed mode without mods. Or offline, unpacked, with mods.

Firstly, yes wired controllers ( also wireless controllers ) will work, also steering wheel and pedal sets, gear shifters work ( if you own a G25 or G27 wheels ). Unpacking the game.. OK.. Rather than the game using millions of little files, they package the game up into several large archive files. Now to mod anything we need to change those game files, but they are trapped inside the archives, so to be able to change them we need to unpack those archives, which will turn the game back to using lots of little files rather than the big ones. You must have used ZIP or RAR files before, think of it like that. They made a game and all the files that make up the cars and the sounds and the map and everything else were packaged inside 20 or so ZIP files. But we the user cannot change any of those files until we get them back out of the ZIP files...Thats what unpacking the game is.. Opening the Large archives and taking all the little game files out so we can change them.. You generally package files (or games) to make them smaller and to make them easier to distribute.... Or to make it harder for people to mod your game..

the latest version is V31-Build 15. DLC 2 was build 12, then they recently released a patch which was build 13 and just a few days ago they released build 15.. If you are not running the most up to date version you won't be able to get online..

never mind.. its obviously a wasted effort trying to explain...

No ive never even seen TDU2 .. you idiot..... Of course ive played TDU2 how the hell would i be releasing stuff for it if id never played it. My point was ( which everyone of you seemed to miss ) Yes they should fix the handling. but they are not doing that and i doubt they ever will. Each time they "attempt" to make handing better it actually gets worse. Thats why everyone is complaining on the official forums so why not just give us one of the better (not perfect but better than we have now) handling settings we used to have about 3 or 4 patches ago. then work on the other stuff that needs fixing as well. There are hundreds of problems with the game and if they are not gonna get the main one right at least work on the others so there is less problems to notice in the game. Or just totally give up and let us decrypt the game and fix the problems ourselves ( which would probably be a way better idea in the long run) Since at least build 12 ( dlc2 ) the handling has got worse and worse, so why keep messing with it, it will just get to the point where it will be unplayable. Damn even the older need for speed games had better handling that this crap. The one thing i cannot understand... why did they even scrap the tdu 1 engine and rewrite from the ground up. The tdu1 engine was decent, all they had to do was use that , add a second island and use different car models and we would have been happy. but since they did a total rewrite they have screwed up so many things. Generally you would think a game sequel would be better than the first. but they have just gone backwards each time they try and make something better. Its like they don't even want us to play the game anymore.. Way to miss read what im saying dude. i wasnt saying handling wasnt a problem i was just saying if they are not gonna seriously work on the handling then they should give up on it address all the other issues instead. Let us work out how to fix the handling issues. It amazes me how when one person misconstrues what another is saying.. how many people jump on the bandwagon to bash them... id have thought this place was better than that... Perhaps it would be better to , rather than all jump down someones throat , take the time to actually find out what the person meant in the first place.

yeah the new patch seems to have annoyed more people than it pleased.. why do they keep messing about with the wrong things, they should fix the actual problems we have with the game and leave the handling alone . but no thats just crazy talk to them :insane:

how could we know that without you telling us exactly what you did? There isnt really a way to know what step you missed unless someone watched you try and do it again and saw you miss the step. How about you go back to the start and try again, you wont need to recreate the images again, you already have those. just try doing it again and make sure you follow each step. If the tutorial has 12 steps, write the numbers 1-12 on a bit of paper and as you complete each step cross that number off, that way you will know if you did or didnt do a particular step yet.

Can you please stop linking directly to files on tdumods. Especially ones in the paintshop or the template sections. By all means link to the photo gallery so users can see what it is, but then let them go to the paintshop area on their own .. There is a good reason why we made that area Members only and you are basically bypassing that. Cheers. EDIT: All links on this page that directed to that section on tdumods or the image have now been severed, please dont direct link again Sterick. we dont want to have to keep running around fixing your screw ups. First was you posting your finished skin in completely the wrong area of the site ( thats why the above link was broken ) Now we have had to cut the links that you added because it means people didn't need to login to access the files. We don't want a third screw up from you..

i dont think we can make the traffic go faster. certainly not for online, As the traffic is all synced up on the servers... Other wise if we was following each other and on your screen the car in front was doing 90 mph but on my screen it was doing 60 miles an hour, that would confuse the game so they stop that kind of thing happening. I know the standard CPR files do not allow you to make the traffic faster( or more of it ) as that has already been attempted. so id image traffic speed is controlled by a file we do not have access to yet. In other words, No we cant make the traffic go faster.
