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

Andraste Modding Framework
Andraste, at it’s core, is a generic modding framework, aiming to bring a modern toolset into old (DX 9) and modern games alike. It does so by injecting a .NET FX Runtime into native applications, allowing us to code the framework in a safe language (C#), which even opens up the possibility to write code modifications in .NET languages, that interface seamlessly with the native code of the game.
Note: This current release requires you to be tech-savy and is primarly aimed at mod developers and to find problems with the base-framework. It won't provide major features, yet, so don't sweat it, if you can't get it to run.
Note: While this is in the TDU2 category, Andraste can also be used for TDU1 and potentially a lot of other games (unless they are 64 bits or have some protective anti cheat system)
 
How to run Andraste
Currently, Andraste only comes with a console launcher, so to launch it, you need to execute the Launcher.exe and pass the path to your game.
This can be done by dragging the game onto the Launcher.exe or better: creating a shortcut to do that.
If Andraste is running, it should write logging output into the console window of the launcher.
At this point, you can start creating mods that will then be loaded into your game.
In order for mods to be loaded into your game, place them into the mods folder next to the Launcher.exe
Currently, since the Launcher has no proper GUI, all mods are always loaded, you can't toggle them, but you can move them out of the mods folder.
If you still have problems launching Andraste, see our Docs on using the Launcher and "installing" mods.
 
Converting an Mod into the Andraste Format
First, make sure that you have the permission of the original author to convert/upload the andraste version of the mod.
Then, follow our Getting Started Guide
 
What can I use it for, at the moment?
If you managed to convert a mod, you can now use (and remove!) these game mods, without changing your unpacked(!) base game (the game needs to be unpacked, because the VFS feature only replaces existing files, it doesn't create packed files yet).

While this feature may not be impressive yet (besides removing mods without having to have a backup of your game folder somewhere), there is much more possible with that technique, but that takes manpower and time.
Internally, we're currently using the scripting functionality to find out more about the game and progress on different fronts such as multiplayer or asset manager, so definitely stay tuned for further progress, at some point, we will release the TDU2 Modding Framework, that is an additional layer on top of Andraste, providing TDU2 specific features (patching files inside BNKs, running on a packed game, hot reloading, ...)
If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to read our documentation, post in the relevant forum thread, here on turboduck, or in #tdu-modding on https://discord.tduniverse.org

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.
0.0 gravity modifier demo: https://streamable.com/ldur6j
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
