...I would love to make my own car for TDU, but I don't have a lot of time. We all know it is very difficult to start modding as it requires patience, time and knowledge. I still have files and programs when I was trying to learn modding last year... :hmmm:

Well, you are not alone!

I would like to learn also to mod cars. I have the needed programs too, but I don't know where and how to start.

Furthermore I think, that I am unfortunately a person needing someone picking up my hand and do a step-by-step from start to end the first time. :(

But in my opinion every new modder is always a win for the community, especially if she/he will become a good one. :)

Well, finally I got the time to finish the ALOHA gas station v1.0.

More details what to do and the DL link you'll find here.

You must also be able to replace the normal Charger SRT-8. Should work.

First of all, very nice mod again, Comb@t !!! :thumbsup:

Second, I'm supporting kovalskys request for more clacssic/vintage cars empathic :D

Combat , u will do a stylish De Tomaso Pantera, won't you? ;)

Or another classic car like a Maserati Ghibli Cabrio or an Iso Grifo 7 Litre or a Monteverdi Highspeed 375S

Pleaaaase :drool:

More classics to TDU, now ^^

Norby, great looking mod, although I prefer the "long" version ;)

Anyway ... nice work. :thumbsup:

Is it just me thinking, that the exhaust pipes are a bit small?

Great as always :)

Thanks alot for your compliments. :)

Release will be in next week ...

Voodoo asked me to make a new gas station on Hawaii. :)

Well, here's a preview :cool:

I've added a pic from the original gas station on Hawaii and two more screenshots.

On one u can see much more detailed lights under the roof.

On another one a much more detailed fuel dispenser. :thumbsup:

Indeed :)

Just rediscovered TDU1, even when the servers were shut down. TDU1 is still one of best games ever.

Anyway, it's a pain in the a**, that tons of the "old" mods cannot be downloaded anymore, because their links are broken.

I for myself is trying atm to collect as many mods as possible and to built up a directory for TDU1 mods, most for TDU2 is already done :).

Hi there,

I was bored about the TDU2 billboards ingame, so I started to make some new. :D

Download on drivers-paradise.

Fantastic car!! I love it. :excited:

Thank you very very much!

Please more such cars.

Meh ... , download only for premium members. :(

Why didn't you use a free sharehoster?

Thanks I will try that out and let you know, Donnie. Really appreciate the help, even if it doesn't work. However, how do I get the UL v 3.1? :P

Look here

I can still play online the unpacked/modded game, even seat adjustment incl. TrackIR and no damage/dirt are working fine for me.

And some other stuff is working too :D

I'm using the new Universal Launcher 3.1 actually. With older version I could do it too, though with some tricks.

Seems, that Eden/Atari installed/activated something now, that prohibits the Universal Launcher to start online, like described above.

With normal Launcher, moved back big/map files and original testdrive2.exe I can start online again.

[edit]

All-Clear:

All fine with the Universal Launcher.

What was blocking, is the "unlock sticker shop" manipulation at testdrive2.exe.

[/edit]

You cannot use any car on any other car, because they are different in construction.

For that you will always find on mod pages, which car the mod will replaced by, because of (nearly) same construction.

For example, Reventons new Viper 2013 is good for the ingame Viper SRT10, but u can use it also on the Viper ACR without problems, because those are nearly the same, but you shouldn't put it on an Merc ML, or you will something like on your pic.

Otherwise, if you want a Audi A6 on an Alfa Brera, you need to rebuild the car (Audi) from scratch in Zmodeler or similar program.

In our experience, it still works online, if you start the unpacked game with your Launcher, and if connected to the TDU2 server, close the Launcher immediately.

Seems, that Atari ist checking for cheat-engine processes, what needs a few seconds after start. Manipulations at the testdrive2.exe like "no damage-no dirt" aren't affected by this check. :)

He meant, that you have to pick up your commonworld.bnk file from TDU2 game folder, open it with Djeys TDU Modding Tools II, unpack, replace the similar db2 files in there with the new Ibiza road db2 files and repack.

This is such another great mod by tomsolo.

Thank you very much. :thumbsup:

Works all with me ... VERY fine. :)

Can you publish another version without these stickers?

Btw. great car - great mod

Thanks for it! :)

zModeler? ;)

Fantastic sound

+1 rep :)

Solution hex editing for 2DMAT. I wrote a simple tutorial for how to change rim's color, the car elements is similar but little complicated.

Hi tomsolo,

oops, I missed that one. :eek:

Thank you very much for the hint. :)

Hello guys n gals,

I know about Speeders Moddeing wiki, but the tutorial section there is ... fairly empty.

Well, if I would be a modder, I would start filling it up, but sadly I am not right now. :sulk:

But I'm very very interested to start a modder career, if I would know how to.

What I think about is, there are needed pictured step-by-step tutorials about all aspect of modding.

Main themes could be:

• Extract TDU2 (already existing)
  
• How to use Universal Launcher (already existing)
  
• Extract models of other games like GTR2, GT5 (if ever possible), Forza 4, GTLegends, Dirt2, Shift2 Unleashed, ....
  
• Make them ready to import into ZModeler, 3d Studio Max or Cinema4D
  
• Texturizing these new models with TDU2 textures
  
• Changing textures for inside and outside (incl. number plate, white lettered wheels, chrome)
  
• Manage camera view for new models, what to take care about when replacing anohter car
  
• Slot system indepth
  
• Sound modding from scratch
  

Well, all about, it seems to be bunch of work, I know. :cool:

But, at least in my opinion, I think, the more people know about (excellent) modding, the more interesting models we will get all.

I know there were some tutorials about modding for TDU1, but they are a bit messed up..

If they are still up-to-date, they need to get reorganised for TDU2.

What do you think about this? :rolleyes:

PS: I already started to replace the number plate with texmod in the past, but at this point, there was no bnk repacker.

Actually I use the packed game up to DLC2 release, after that I will start again unpacked and make try to make the number plate tutorial.
