That's not what he's asking. He's essentially asking for custom tracks.

You don't convert the files, you import them. A .3dg and a .2dm are parts of a .BNK, not the whole thing. Anyway, as far as I know you can't import a different 3d model into a .bnk and expect it to work correctly - the textures won't match. You'll need ZModeler 2 and/or the Modding Tools to do... whatever it is you're trying to do.

You mean the gauges...? You'll need Djey's Modding Tools. Use the 2DB->DDS tool to change the 2DB files to DDS files. Use some program (sorry, can't help you too specifically here, it depends on what you have) to convert the DDS files to .TGA files. Edit the .TGA files, then convert the .TGAs back to DDS, then the DDS files back to 2DB, then import them back into the .BNK. I explained most of this process in another thread, I'll see if I can find it so I can link to it.

Upgrades are $20,000 or so but I'll provide them for free if you want them. The reason I ask is that once I put upgrades on, there's no way of removing them if you don't want them. Anyway, your car is painted. I don't consider it 100% accurate, because of the limitations with the paint shop, but it looks very, very close (90% accurate or so). EDIT: Double-checked math, 6:00PM Aus time / 11:00AM Arizona time is indeed fine.

If you mean around ten in the morning for you, that's approximately three in the morning where I live :o Can we do this at around 6pm your time? That's 11AM for me, which is a more reasonable time. lol I will, however, buy and paint the car today. Any requests for upgrade status or anything like that? (If not, I'll make it non-upgraded.)

$300,000 with my brother's Viper on his profile. :o On my (online) account, I don't think I've accumulated any fines. On my old offline account, I honestly can't remember.

Probably not. It'll make the servers kick you, and DJey wants to keep all available changes online-safe.

Delete radial.CDB, which can be found under "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Test Drive Unlimited\", or somewhere similar (just telling you the path off the top of my head, I don't have it perfectly memorized...). If that doesn't work, try patching it again, but manually this time (e.g. drag-and-drop files to correct locations instead of running patcher). If that doesn't work either, reinstall the game, then the MegaPack, then backup *TDU install directory*\Euro\BNK\Database (make a copy of that folder and store it somewhere safe), then install patch 1.67D again.

Sounds like you need to cameraswap; look at the Mod Tools thread for info.

1. Since the F40 had these upgrades planned all along and this mod only unlocks them, obviously Atari/Eden saw no fairness issues with them and just forgot. :confused: 2. The only thing the patch overwrites is the Database directory, so the only thing you need to redo are name, camera and IK mods.

:excited: That looks... wow. Amazing model quality and texture work! Thank you so much, Tool!

I know this, but I would like "Skyline GT-R" in addition so that I can put "R34" or "V-Spec" or "BCNR33" at the end instead, as opposed to having separate "GTR R33" and "GTS-T R33" and "GTT R34", etc. If adding "Skyline GT-R" causes more problems than it solves, nevermind - I'd be perfectly happy to leave it how it is. Thanks for taking requests for new names, by the way :)

Alright, then rename the files to match another car and put them in instead. As in: back-up Alfa_GT.bnk and Alfa_GT_I.bnk (rename them to .bnk.bak or something), and take Brera.bnk and Brera_I.bnk and rename them to Alfa_GT.bnk and Alfa_GT_I.bnk, respectively. Put them into the \Euro\BNK\Vehicules folder.

Step 1. Make sure you have version 1.10.2 or later, otherwise you are likely to corrupt your Database.BNK. Step 2. Backup the file Database.BNK, which is in (tdu install directory)\Euro\BNK\Database\, and put the backup somewhere you can find it easily. Step 3. Open Mod Tools. Select Vehicle Manager. Step 4. Double-click the car you want to edit. Click Data Sheet. Step 5: Click Change and then select whichever you want to change. Select the new name you want. Repeat Step 5 as many times as you want. Step 6. Press Save. Repeat Steps 4-6 for every car you want to edit, while you have Vehicle Manager open. :thumbsup:

(as in, if you don't overwrite it it doesn't do anything, because it keeps the original files instead of overwriting them with the new ones :P) Also, quick note: make sure you're backing up your files when you install mods like that. If you don't, you don't really have any way of removing the mod. And, like Andreaz (? - that is Andreaz, right? too many name changes :confused: ) was hinting at, if you don't have the MegaPack then you don't have the Brera, and thus need to replace another car. If this is the case then I'll give you directions for how to replace a different car.

Indeed, that's the folder. For future reference, back it up after installing the megapack but before installing 1.67D. If you didn't back it up before installing the patch, it's not a big deal, since I doubt you'd have to restore from a backup anyway - it's more of a "just-in-case" thing. Also, you're not a noob, you've been on these forums and the Atari forums (and TDU itself) for longer than I have. :)

@ mightyreds: No, CTS-V and XLR-V are already in the game. What we are asking Djey to add are new names for cars, so that when we download new cars, we can edit the names to show up right. You have to use the newest version of the Modding Tools to understand. -------- Add Evolution X Add Edition Add Cayenne Add FXX Add S8 Add 356 Add RX-8 Add DBR9 Add AE86 Add GT4 Add STI Add Focus Add SVT Add Avensis Add Nismo Z-Tune Fix Boxter > Boxster Add M Add Octavia Add Phantom Add C-XF Add Concept Add GranTurismo Add Exeo Add V10 5.2 FSI Add (E46) Add Grand Cherokee Add 365 Add GTB/4 Daytona 1968 Fix LAGUNA > Laguna Fix NISMO R-Tune > Nismo R-Tune Fix NISMO R-Tune Power > Nismo R-Tune Power Fix NISMO S-Tune > Nismo S-Tune Fix 2,0 16v > 2.0 16v Fix 2,7 (EU) > 2.7 V6 (EU) Fix 3,0 (US) > 3.0 V6 (US) Fix FOUR-TWELVE > Four-Twelve Add GTI Add Bravo Add S14 Add S13 Add R32 GTS-T Add R33 GTR Fix RT > R/T Add Type-S Add Spec-R Aero Add GT-R (it already has GTR, but not GT-R) Add M15 Add GPX LE Add Sprinter Add Trueno Add VR-4 Add GT3 Add GT2 Add GT3 RS Add LP670 SV Add SV <--- Fixed (only the VT has a 6.0 at the end) Add Cayman S Add 997 Turbo(So it can be Porsche 911 997 Turbo, etc.) Add 997 GT3 RS Add 997 GT2 Add M3 E92 Add M3 E46 Add GTS25t Add 2.5GT-T Add (R32) Add (R33) Add (R34) Add (ER33) Add (BCNR33) Add (BNR34) Add Twin Turbo MR Add Evolution VIII MR-Edition Add Evolution VIII FQ400 Fix ELEANOR > Eleanor Add Performance [RX8] Add Elegance [RX8] Add 206 Add (BNR32) Add Skyline GT-R (they have Skyline and GTR, but not all in one) Add V-Spec II Nur

Actually, I thought Circuit City went out of business a year or two ago. :/ Your best bet, then, is to buy it online. But DON'T get the download version; insist on a hard CD copy!

Wait, so you have the megapack? There should be no problems, then. Most of these mods are designed specifically to work for MegaPack-equipped games. also, @ Djey's post regarding interior colors: sweet :D I'm also quite happy to see the other planned features, even if I'll have to wait for a long time for them to be released. I can wait :thumbsup:

In the new patch, Djey added some extra names to the database like "Impreza" for modded cars that don't exist in the base-game. With the modding tools, you can change a car's brand and name using these extra names, but the extra names need to be there first. Thus, we're requesting more extra names for the next version.

Heck, I'd get another copy of TDU, but for a different reason - so my friends could play against me when they come to my house :D

I bought my copy from Fry's Electronics for $30; of course, this was back in 2007-ish when the game was new, so $30 or so wasn't a bad price. :D I don't know if the Fry's Electronics I bought it from still carries it, though, but I think it probably does. If you have a Fry's Electronics reasonably close to you, you may find it there. Best Buy and other similar store are also good places to look, but if I were you I wouldn't spend much time running around town looking for a copy. I think doing so would waste more gas and time than going to the GameStop >_> (unless it's like a 40-minute drive)

You're welcome, and also, the new sound sounds much more realistic - it sounds great on the R32. :D

Some newer versions of the ModTools (1.8, especially) will do this to files. Except for extracting them manually and re-importing them, there isn't a lot you can do to fix this.

Sounds pretty nice, although not really like an RB26; it sounds a bit more like an RX-8. It sounds like it'd be good for an RX-8, especially a modded one since RX-8s don't have turbos... Also I'd like to mention that I'm pretty sure that's my gauge-mod featured in the video, thanks for visiting my modding site :) (good to see people have actually visited it, and it's worth keeping that running :lol: )
