Whoops, i didn't know the download was down. I have seen almost all are down. I still have all my mods, and will take care of them here also again. I will attach the files directly here, so they don't get deleted on the fileupload for whatever reason. Give me time. It are a lot of mods. Tnx for not closing the threads for them. I will also do new videos for all of them. OOOOF that will be much to do lol. But also fun. Here is how my game looks at the moment.

Continuing on from our previously announced site changes and merger with TDU World, we have more updates to TurboDuck.net to announce:
 
Layout Change
Overhaul of the default light theme

  The Dark theme is currently unavailable while we work on compatibility issues with the latest site update, along with a new light / dark switcher toggle work in progress. Please stay tuned and wear your sunglasses while using the site if needed.

  The forum home page now lists threads from all areas in a single Fluid list so that members can easily see all forum activity.  A filter block appears to the side and allows you to select individual areas to filter threads/topics by.
  The traditional forum table view is still available as an option if you prefer the previous layout.
Varieties of section and block adjustments  
Topic Layout Overhaul
New sidebar block auto added for popular topics with condensed information about the thread

  Icons appear on moderator and newly joined etc posts
  Posts made to the same thread / area within 12 hours by the same user will automatically be merged unless another user replies first.
  Simplified button layout
  Style change for question & answer (Q&A) post type, with the ability to mark the topic as solved and provide related notifications
  All mod support forums are now using this new Q&A format
  Miscellaneous Updates
Overall user interface improvements
  Overhaul of available notification settings
Club owners are now able to create pages within their own clubs
  Added an "Information" block to club home that allows a club owner to add rich text
  Added "Read Only" club type
Everyone can see the club and its posts, but only members can participate. Users need to be invited by a leader to join

Here is how you can use the car which was unrealeased:
1. In TDU2VPE, check unrealeased button and uncheck all other boxes.
2. Open the Model tab, and choose the car which has closest dimensions to Bugatti.
3. Press Load.
4. Now, you have to rechange some files which you have downloaded:
   4.1 Rename the files: body goes chiron.bnk; interior chiron_i.bnk; wheels chiron_f_01.bnk.
   4.2 Put these files: 
body: Euro -> bnk -> vehicules -> high
interior: Euro -> bnk -> vehicules -> interiors
wheels: Euro -> bnk -> vehicules -> rims -> bugatti
5. Go back to TDU2VPE, and go to Tires/Rims; press folder/file name. as folder, choose bugatti, and both rims should be chiron_f_01
6. Choose Miscellaneous tab; open sensitive data, file name definition; and rename to chiron.
7. Put the car in a dealership which you want, and press Apply.
this is very basic way to get the car into the game, keep in mind that you also need to change camera position, or even change the location wheels in zmod.

Well, first success! I gave it a shot to replace one size tire with a higher poly one, and it actually worked. Only downside is that the rest of the tires get corrupted, materials don't get exported correctly in my situation, need to look for a fix for that.
But, here's the result:
Before editing:

After:


This is what happens with the stock tires, they either vanish completely or they get a material/texture issue. Easy to fix I think:

 
Update:
Tried it with a better Michelin tire now. 8018 polygons instead of the 338 of the stock TDU2 tire. Here are the results:


It looks great, no doubt about it. There is, however, one issue. The tire gets mirrored for the right side of the car, this is so the thread points in the right direction of course. The issue is that the sidewall also gets mirrored. If we would want to texture the sidewall, we would need to use something without text. Not a big issue, but important to know.
I will go ahead and edit the mesh to work with all road tires. I'll keep using the Michelin sidewall for now, but this will need to be replaced at one point.
EDIT: Shelved this project for now.
 

Wow, what a clever response from your part, and you dare using word ass hole in my direction ? I try to be honest at least and did not have any issue for years with anyone ... until you!  I fell like havng wasted my time trying to provide any kind of explanation to  someone like you.
Anyway thanks for the upload and the kind words. Now I'm crying. Happy?
Make 1% of the effort I've put for this community and we'll talk again. Maybe.
Oh, and please avoid insulting people who try their best to  consider others... world is not as huge as you think. Maybe one day you might need help along the roadside.
Kind regards 😄
 
 

Well I found the way for this. It turns out the mesh file for the tires is located in common_car.bnk. It includes separate meshes for every single tire size and type in the game. Changing it is pretty straight forward, but will take some time.
This also unlocks the posibility to add side wall texturing, you have to assign a texture to the sides of the tire and you're done. 🙂

If I have enough time on my hands I might give changing the mesh a go, since the low poly tires can ruin the look of a car a bit.

Hello everyone!
 
After a while of absence, we are back with a new update with some exciting news.
 
Coronavirus COVID-19
As most of you know by now, there is a new virus going around the world right now, called COVID-19. Because of this, a big part of our team has been forced to stay at home because of the quarantine measures.
 
While this virus is one of the most terrible things to happen this century, it did give us time to work on TDU World. Some big steps are being made and we are able to show the first part in this update!
 
We wish the best to our community and their families who are being hit by this pandemic.
 
The TDU World Launcher
After being in the works for a while, we were finally able to finish the official launcher for TDU World. It is currently in testing stages and the first version will be released soon.
 
Funtionality will be to launch the game in online mode (of course) as well as offline mode. For the first release, the launcher will only be able to launch the game in offline mode while the servers are in development. The launcher also has a news section where the TDU World Twitter feed is shown. This way, everyone can see if there's a new update when starting TDU2. There is also an update feature, but this will be disabled for now.
 
What does it look like I hear you ask? Well, take a look!
 

 
Personally, we are extremely happy with how the launcher is turning out. Like said earlier, you can expect a release in the near future. For now we are still working on fixing and optimizing certain features.
 
That's all the news we can share right now. Stay tuned for more in the future!
 
 
Best regards
 
Aquarious
TDU World Team
 

@///Λquarious done, sorry about that.

You can do that already, I did it a while back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u40nvUXxgYY&feature=youtu.be
With TDU2 you can just make your own 2dm and put it into the cars bnk, but with TDU1 it's all in one 2dm.
@Djey how many materials are in the 2dm? 

Hey There!
I am Rokas, also the only Duce in turboduck discord server, huge fan of racing games.
How I discovered TDU2? Well, back when I was younger I was searching for videos which were longest in youtube (don't say anything, lol), and the video which was a longest one day was TDU2 Beta video. I really liked this game by just watching it, it became my favourite game even I haven't even played it. Got the PS3 disk in 2013, and I was extremely disappointed by controls and physics. Took a huge break, and started playing agian only in 2017.
Now, I pretty much expect what surprises these physics give, so I call myself pro in this game :). Its still my favourite game even to this day.

Hi
pic of WIP, materials from Database Editor . That's just a small sample of information backed in the colors.bnk file.
Could not test it yet, but I'm pretty sure one will be able to use any available  material at any location (exterior, interior, calipers..).
 

 
 
 
 

Guess I'll show myself as well then, here's me in my natural habitat, driving a Saab 😉

By the way, if you haven't seen it yet... 😉
 

Hi @Ramon1991cobra, if you allow me to, I would love to use your Summer Mods for the TDU World modpack when it comes out. These two mods completely transform the way the game looks and I want as much people as possible to enjoy it! Let me know if you allow me to use them.

I'll improve it before uploading it to the download section, but later.

Hi @Ramon1991cobra,
It might be good to upload this mod to the download section, this way more people will be able to enjoy it. It is quite hidden between all the topics at the moment! 🙂

It is not a scam, they are probably selling an original Atari key, meant to be activated on the TDU2 website, which does not exist anymore. Only buy a Steam version of the game, that one still works!
EDIT: It might actually still work, since you need to enter a product key on first launching th game. You just don't have an official place to download the game anymore.

Hi everyone,
just a small post to announce TDUF 2.0 is in development, and will feature some fixes and materials handling from Database Editor (read-only for now, I hope modifications will be possible - but without guarantee).
After that, there won't be more changes on this TDUF in the future (unless critical bugs will be detected).
I'm already working on a new architecture for TDUF, and it will represent tons of work. So don't expect to be released anytime soon. I will try to post details about it in a while.
Thanks for using TDUF!
