Hello, sorry for the late reply... When you select your TDU folder, the program checks that <TDU Path>\euro\level\hawai exists. If yes, it checks the actual mode. The actual mode is written inside a text file (mode.txt) that is in the 'TDU season' folder that should be inside your TDU folder... except if you selected another folder than the TDU application folder when you installed the first program (TDU winter 1.5). When you launch the first installer (for the 1.5 version), you MUST select your TDU folder as install folder. If it is your problem, just uninstall TDU season, check you have nothing called 'TDU season' inside your TDU folder, and re-install everything. Else, if you selected the correct folder, the just tell me if you have a C:\PF\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\TDUseason folder and if it actually contains the "mode.txt" file. Also you can check what's inside this file... Tell me and I will reply according to your results. Theduck38

I released the installer !!!! Enjoy.....

Yes, true... but he'll have to check the rest of the thread to get the correct FX.ini settings :D TD38

Hello, in <Program files>\Test Drive unlimited\Euro\Bnk\FX\ Bye TD38

Hello, Iced_Bullet Very nice mod, I 've been using it for some days now. I would like to add it to my [url=http://forum.turboduck.net/showthread.php?t=18399]Season Mod installer[/url] : this is an application that allows users to switch easily between different 'Season mods'. I already made a [url=http://forum.turboduck.net/showthread.php?t=18122]first version[/url] with the Crazy Winter Edition, and I would like to go further... So, do you allow me to include it in my app ??? Please take one minute to answer, as my work is ready and I'm just waiting for modders validation to post it... @Timiditas : this mod is compatible with crazy winter edition (I use it)... What I propose will make it easier to install :thumbsup: Thanks !! [url]http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac164/TheDuck48/TDU/20100410232430.jpg[/url] TheDuck38 EDIT : Got my answer concerning the author of this mod... thanks !

Trees.... Hello again, The lighting and alpine trees mod by iLLusion (Winter paradise 2.0) is already implemented in the CWE installer... Concerning the trees provided at the bottom of the tropical post, they are not white... so they'll be weird in snow environment ! But I could add them as a sub-mode of 'Normal mode' in the new Season Mod installer. :) TD38

Hello Ryzza5, What is "Alpine and Winter wonderland" ? Is it "Crazy Winter Edition" from Opelos_hun ? If yes, it is already implemented in the other installer I made : Crazy winter Auto Setup... you can add iLLusion's lighting effect that has fir trees... You will also need this other installer to upgrade to the 'Season Mod installer'. TD38.

This is the evolution of the Crazy Winter auto installer... it is able to install 3 main modes : - Opelos_Hun's Crazy winter Edition - Opelos_hun's Tropical Paradise - Atsu_fd's Japanese Autumn Plus the corresponding available sub-mods (like 'Snowy light' with CWE) ... and add 3 lighting modes : - Maciuk's weather mod - iLLusion's Winter Paradise (for winter mod only) - Crazydoc's Day and Night mod - posted by Iced_Bullet - You can also install as a sub-mod of 'Standard', the HQ trees by Opelos_Hun. The sizes are set to 32. - It is possible to customize your own installation to make your mix of mod files. To be used with caution... and with a backup :D http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac164/TheDuck48/Divers/TDUSModv21-1.png News : ----- 2010-04-19 o Security has been increased (no way to install anything if TDU's running); the interface is better, and the program keeps your default TDU folder... it still backups your installed files before swapping from 'normal' mode to specific mod... 2010-04-20 o With some (future) users inputs, I added a specific "Standard sub-mode" where user can customize his own mod, using whatever files he wants... and just install with 1 click and restore at will. o Changed the folders structure to make the program more versatile 2010-04-22 o Added a log file of mod installations 2010-04-27 o Release !!! GameFront links http://www.gamefront.com/files/21330462/TDU_SeasonMod_AS_v2_2_7z_001/ http://www.gamefront.com/files/21330500/TDU_SeasonMod_AS_v2_2_7z_002/ Checksums FreeFilehosting Links Segment 1 Segment 2 Checksums -------------------------------------- Release notes : o You need the first version (Crazy Winter Auto Installer, available here) to use this one, as it is an upgrade (to avoid to download again 1.2Gb of data). o If you already use the CWE program, you MUST restore 'normal mode' before installing the upgrade. If you got both programs at the same time, just install the two in a row... o Install is long (10+ min for Crazy Winter Edition install & 10+ min for upgrading to Season Mod installer). o The installer will put the necessary files at their places, and remove the old ones from previous version. Then it will launch the app used to switch mods. o PLEASE, TELL ME IF YOU LIKE IT ;) o Tell me also if you have trouble to install or use... Enjoy !!! -------------------------------------- TheDuck38

Impressive !!! You're right, it makes big holes ! :D:D:D I can't believe it... Didn't see it, but I was more occupied to freeride than to buy cars. Maybe that's the reason. Anyway, if Opelos_Hun has the folder, I will make a patch. The next version of the installer is also ready and I could post it, but I still need acknowledgment from Opelos_Hun to use his Tropical mod, and from Iced_Bullet and Maciuk to use their lighting mods... TheDuck38

Well, you raise a big problem for my installer... I don't have this folder in my original files ! I suppose I have the same issue but I did not notice it... I'll have to fix this, anyway. TD38 PS : After having downloaded again the 13 files of the original mod, I didn't find he 'Spot' folder... We'll see with Opelos_Hun if he modified this folder or not. For the installer, I can make a patch or include this in the next version.

Issues when decompressiong - damaged files Hello, Your files may be corrupted... it can happen when downloading big files. For all users who got damaged files during the download process, I added a checksum txt file so that you can check every files you downloaded... and re-download only the necessary. Inside the checksum text file, there is a link where to find a program to calculate them, and the algorithm I used. Hope this will help. TheDuck38

Hello Reilsss, You are right, I did not give enough information in the ReadMe file... I was afraid people get bored by reading a so long file. As it is included in the archive, I cannot change it for now. So : -> It will be corrected in next version -> I added in the original text of the post the two things you said : removing ReadOnly tag on TDU folder and procedure for manual restoration. Concerning you last question : you just need to press the checkbox, and the files are added to the next 'sub-mode' you will select/activate. Same procedure to remove the Witer paradise mod : just uncheck the box and it will be gone after next sub-mode activation. Within the text I added to the original post, you have the way the program works. It goes inside the sub-mode corresponding folder in TDU Winter, opens the .script file and read the files to move and where they go. If you want to customize you version, you can add some files in the sub-mode directories, and add the corresponding lines in the .script files. Don't forget to add also the original files in the Restoration folder and restoration.script... Bye TheDuck38

Hello Aneelka, If you really don't manage to handle the files you get, you can have a look to my auto-installer. You get the same result, and you just have a few cliks to make... Check here : http://forum.turboduck.net/showthread.php?t=18122 TD38

I had the problem when downloading Mega Upload files to check them... The first one had a wrong check-sum... I had to upload it again and download it again to have it correct. I suppose problems can occur either during upload or download, as it's big files. Anyway, I could finally get the 5 files with a correct check-sum, this means they're good on the server... TD38

Pleeeaaase, come back. I'd like to have it also. TD38

Hello Rabbit, You need 7zip; it is a freeware available here : http://www.7-zip.org/ When you'll have installed it, you just click on the first segment (file.7z.001) and you should see a window with a directory called 'CWE AS v1.5' inside. Just drag and drop this directory onto your desktop (or anywhere) and inside there's the ReadMe file (very important !!!) and the installer... Hope this will be enough. Note : if you get another .7z file inside the 7zip application window (when you click on the first segment), it means that your files are corrupt... it can happen when downloading. In this case, just download again:(:(:( TheDuck38

Thank you, I'll get it right now... Will be nice to night drive in the city:thumbsup: TheDuck38

The differential files mean that you have to replace the files of the version 1 with the ones of the version 2. But you still need to install all the files... in other terms : - Install all the files of the version 1 - Replace (again) the 'plumspr.2DB' with the one of the version 2 Then it should work...

Creator : TheDuck38 Original mods by Opelos_HUN and iLLusion This is not exactly a mod... The purpose is to install automatically and handle the Crazy Winter Edition v1.5 by Opelos_HUN. It can be enhanced by the lighting mod 'Winter Paradise' from iLLusion. After reading the 500 posts in this mod thread, and the difficulties that people had to install the mod, I decided to make a stand alone program that installs the mod, and allows user to switch between the different roads provided. It is also very easy to backup to normal mode at will... http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac164/TheDuck48/Divers/AutoinstallerCWEv15-1.png The bad new is that the download is the original size of the mod, i.e. 1,2 Gb ! Here are the GameFront links : http://www.gamefront.com/files/21329427/TDU_CWE_AS_1_51_7z_001/ http://www.filefront.com/16033995/TDU-CWE-AS-1_51.7z.002/ http://www.filefront.com/16036297/TDU-CWE-AS-1_51.7z.003/ http://www.filefront.com/16036763/TDU-CWE-AS-1_51.7z.004/ http://www.filefront.com/16035733/TDU-CWE-AS-1_51.7z.005/ ... and facing the various download problems of users, I include a checksum of the files, so that anybody can verify the data integrity : http://www.filefront.com/17358352/TDU CWE AS 1_51 Checksums.txt A tool for checksum calculation can be found here : http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/75110491 Although I wrote 'Beta' in the installer, the thing is fully tested on XP and 7... WARNING : YOU MUST NOT CHANGE THE MODE WHILE TDU IS RUNNING... this is not securized in the posted version and induce a situation where you cannot use the setup program anymore... ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES --------------------- USEFUL NOTES (from users inputs) : - For Vista, Win7 users : the program needs to have full access to your TDU directories and sub directories. For this, you need to : o Give full access to 'User' for TDU dir and subdir o Remove the Read Only tag for TDU dir and SubDir (it seems they're ReadOnly by default) - Procedure for Manual restoration : o If you made a copy of TDU folders, you can replace Euro\Bnk... this is the long but easiest way ! o Otherwise, go into <TDU Folder>\TDU Winter\Restoration TDU Normal Mode\... + There locate the .script file and open it with Notepad + Inside there are lines written like this : commonworld.bnk@\Euro\bnk\Level\Hawai\... this means the file 'Commonworld.bnk' should be placed inside the <TDU Folder>\Euro\bnk\Level\Hawai\. Just take the file named 'Commonworld.bnk' that is in 'Restoration' folder and place it inside the correct destination folder. Do this for all lines of the script file. + Go into <TDU Folder>\Euro\Bnk\Level\... there should be a 'Hawai' directory and a 'Hawai Original' Directory. Rename 'Hawai' as 'Hawai winter' and 'Hawai original' as 'Hawai'... Other possibility : you have 'Hawai' and 'Hawai winter'... then nothing to do. -> it is basically what the program does... except that it checks many thing before doing it. And does nothing if the files are not exactly as they are supposed to be. --------------------- As this is my first thread, I hope everybody will forgive the mistakes I could make. There is a ReadMe file with the installer, please read it ;), as there is important information inside. For the rest, everything goes by itself. Enjoy....
