Toggle on/offline Edit nickname, email and password Import progress from other saves (playersave files more specifically) ** you are advised to manually back up your saves at %USERPROFILE%/Documents/Test Drive Unlimited/savegame as well in case of unforeseen file corruptions **
Ghidra, x64dbg, ghex and vbindiff were used to inspect save file serialization, see https://github.com/Kethen/TDU_savegame_account_editor/blob/main/offsets_and_formats.md for a summary.
iced-rs is used for the user interface, fs_extra is used for recursive file copying, rfd is used for providing a file picker, tar-rs is used for preserving bookmarks.
tdudec on rust is ported from the source release of tdudec at http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers.htm#others-file.
.exe for windows (win32 and win64), without for linux (x86_64 glibc).
Alternatively the project can be built using cargo like other rust projects, it should build in MacOS as well.

Alternative andraste plugin that allows loading any playersave on any profile: https://github.com/Kethen/tdu_andraste_playersave_validation_skip

Supports only 1.66A exe currently.
Features
Adjust global gravity Adjust normal mode additional gravity when a wheel is lifted off the ground Force HC mode physics on player and racing bots in normal mode Besides the exe patcher, this also comes in the form of an andraste modding framework plugin, https://github.com/Kethen/TDU_andraste_physics_tweaks/releases

By default, when a wheel is lifted off the ground in normal (non hardcore) mode, an extra gravity modifier of 1.0 is added to the vehicle to quickly put the vehicle back onto the ground. The value is statically saved in the exe, and this patcher changes that value by changing an instruction.
Additionally gravity used by havok and other bits of the game can also be changed from the default of -9.81, which might be useful for hardcore mode.
0.0 gravity modifier adds no additional gravity, negative values such as -10.0 that overcomes default gravity will send the car upward at curbs and jumps.

Ghidra and x64dbg were used to seek out the instruction for patching as well as assembling the new instruction, patching methodology can be found at https://github.com/Kethen/TDU_normal_mode_gravity_changer/blob/main/src/util.rs
iced-rs is used for the user interface, checksums is used for identifying exe files, rfd is used for providing a file picker.

Naturally this requres Andraste Modding Framework

With this plugin enabled mod packs can skip Bnk1.map modding for loading additional bnks

Extract the zip and put the directory under Andraste's mod directory, it should look as follow once installed
 
TestDriveUnlimited.exe Launcher.exe ... mods/05_magicmap/ ├── mod.json └── tdu_andraste_magicmap.dll ...
Note that this plugin does not patch bnk size limit so right now for huge bnks one would still need project paradise -bigbnk

Patching methodology can be found at https://github.com/Kethen/tdu_andraste_magicmap/blob/main/tdu_andraste_magicmap/MyClass.cs
