Hello Syckobot, Did you try to download again ? Sometimes the file you get is corrupt, despite the TCP/IP protocol... I don't have these files anymore, but if you really want the crazy winter and it still does not work after a second download, you can try my installer (it is made to install / de-install automatically the crazy winter mod - check my signature).

The feedback seems not the best ever made indeed; but what I like in this game is the ability to freeride with other players... and the two islands are worth discovering.

Waow, I was wondering why the new DLC2 changed nothing on my non-existent force feedback :confused:. I played a long time with these settings, not imagining it could work like you said... Thanks ! And I totally agree with you : this is wrong, inapprehensible, irritating, stupid, ridiculous and more !

Hello, Basicly, my app just moves modified files from the 'TDU Season' folders to your TDU folders. It just makes a backup of the original files to restore the 'normal' situation at will. If you read the log file, you will understand what happens, as it is clearly written. Just try different installs and have a look to the log. I make a difference between 'Mod' (ie 'main' mode like winter or autumn) and 'sub-mod' (for example weather modification that can be added to the main mode). So if you wan to play with the weather files, you may restore the normal mode, and then modify both 'Weather.ini' and 'WeatherDesc.ini' in the folder of the sub-mod that you want to install (let's say Maciuk's weather mode for example). Then, when you install the sub-mod with my app (so Maciuk's, in my example case), it will move the changed files to your game folder. There's also a possibility with the 'Custom install' to put whatever files you want to install in the correct folder and use the app to switch these files at will. Just read the readme file for more information about this option. So now, you may see that in fact, changing directly a file may not do what you want, as if you change an original file (directly in TDU folders), it will be replaced by the modded ones when you switch to any mod; and if you change some of the modded files in one of the TDU Season folder, it will work only for this mod when you select it and not the others (except if you change all the same files in all the Season mod folders)... Combining mods is very complicated as you need to replace 'elementary files' inside the big ones (.bnk files). There is a tool to do it called "TDU Modding tool" available on this forum. In most of the cases, different mods affect the same bnk files, but not the same elementary files inside. So to combine mods, you must know exactly what you are doing. In my case, I decided to 'pre-define' mods and the way to combine them to avoid mixing (and messing) everything with no control, and very complicated restoration after (I also had to think in terms of algorithm and interface)... so my app does not allow anything, but is simple to use and makes in a few seconds what would take much more time ! Edit : I also recommend -again- to make a complete backup of TDU before starting to play with mods !!! Edit2 : For your problem of "not changing weather" it means that you may have installed a mod that removes or slows the weather cycles; just edit the weatherdesc.ini and weather.ini to know : Weather.ini contains the descriptions of the different weathers (and lighting effects). WeatherDesc.ini contains the cycles of these different weathers. TD38

Very quick reply : you need to edit the weatherdesc.ini and weather.ini files. There is a parameter called 'Timescale' that modifies the weather changing speed. If you installed a 'sub-mode' it changed the weather behavior... Go to the threads concerning the mods I implemented in my app (just click on 'Credits') to get more information. TD38

Hello, The most probable cause of your issue is that you forgot to set the "Write" rights on your TDU folders and subfolders... the app is able to take the files, but not to put them in TDU folders. Have a look to the readme file, and make sure you gave the write access to "C:\Program Files\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited" and the subfolders... Then you must restore before asking the app to do any other mod installation. Please tell me if it works better after. TD38

Links have been refreshed => working now. TD38

The first segment that had been erased on fileFront has been re-uploaded... TD38

You want to save the 2 zip files on your disk, and then open the first one. If you have the proper soft on your computer it should extract everything as an installer... the better is to use 7zip; it's free. By the way, you're right, it's better to a a functional TDU before installing any mod :D I have Net Framework 3.5. TD

@Carfax You use the 'printscreen' key on the keyboard to take a screenshot, then paste it inside the windows 'Paint' application ans save it in .jpg format. Retrieve the pictue file and add it as attachment to your post. Can you describe IN DETAILS the problem you have (ie write entirely the error you get) ??? Did you read the 'Readme' files and follow the install procedure for each program, starting with crazy winter auto installer ? TD38

@Carfax Hello, I suggest you read entirely the first post and the readme file. There is vital informaion inside... The most probable cause to your problem (from your description) is that you did not install the Winter Crazy Edition Auto Installer previously. If it is not the case, please make a screenshot of the issue. TD38

@bravox09 Your TDU Season mod folder should look like this (I didn't expand everything): [ATTACH]17051[/ATTACH] Can you send me the following files : - Mode.txt - TDU SMod log.txt - TDU SMod settings.txt Thx TD38

Hello, bravox09 To understand better, can you send me the complete log file and the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\TDU Season\Tropical Paradise v2.2\Light roads\Light roads.script Basically, my app checks that all the files indicated inside the script file exist before attempting to run the script. In your case, nothing happens because one or more file is missing. I suppose you still have the original file structure with no weird things inside the game ? Did you follow carefully the install tips (user rights ?, install season mod after winter mod without having activated the winter mode) ? I have to go back in my file structure (it's quite a long time since I used it for the last time) to understand what happened to you. But I definitely need the complete log file. Bye TD38

Yes, just go up a few posts and read... TD38
