The tools don't allow to do it right now, so you've got to wait for next version, Either you could post in Mod Talk I think. :)

Why do you need to import it again in ZM2 ? You'd better work with a z3d file, next to first import. If model does not appear means you might not have kept right model structure as original TDU models. But for this subject I'm one of the least experienced. So you will need help from other people...

Just stay tuned ;) http://forum.turboduck.net/showpost.php?p=194217&postcount=75

Try to update your ZModeler 2. I remember some warnings and errors were not displayed on old versions.

That means ZModeler does not support current configuration for your 2 materials. To solve this, you can try one thing: in material editor, change ENGIN_08 and ENGIN_06 material names by removing [GLT] markers.

I thought it was highly unpossible, but so... great news ;) But changing cameras is not like swapping models. As it concerns directly database files, all I know these are loaded at startup-time only....

:) If it was possible, I would have made it like this, already... but you have to restart the game to change database. No other solution. Neithertheless I don't think it's hard to use... simply apply camera and IK sets from the car which is replaced initially. It should work well.

No, it's not a XML file unfortunately. Some other proprietary format, opened/edited with a proprietary tool.

For one time sooner is the better ! As I've just finished including all 1.9 features, current release is ready. You shall refer to first post to download. From now on, I won't be making beta versions anymore, but this tool is provided 'as is' still. So please keep me informed about potential bugs you could encounter (I know there will be). Finally I will be able to begin working on 1.10. yeah ! :) and updating user guide, since it's very odd now Enjoy. note for myself : I have to update screenshot too. :oook:

I tried to get samples from NFS Most Wanted months ago, but I gave up ... especially because of damn automatic shifting/braking even if gearbox is set to manual. Anyway, this sound mod is perfect for me :)

Nice job Fl0w ! and welcome to modding community :) +rep for your 2 first jauges

Modding TDU was already a challenge, and we succeeded. According to unofficial sources, EDEN guys have been impressed by what everyone have done so far... they couldn't imagine it would be possible, as they've been working hard to lock this game VS mods. So let's go on, guyz :)

agree

Nice idea +1. As knowledge about TDU Modding is getting bigger these days, it would be a good way for everyone to be informed :) Moreover, experienced users (non modders though) could explain in their own words how to modify their games with Modding Tools (for example), install and swap cars ... I hope there will be much people interested in it :cool:

If you want an answer, I would say very hard :lol: Let's see when it'll be out then.

Nice replacement for my Gallardo coupe. Thanks Tool :) Didn't you notice a weird bug in the lowpoly model ? After a time run yesterday I watched the replay, and lowpoly model has a blue glowing effect on the wheels ! :twisted:

glad you've released it ! +rep yeah, I've noticed these bugs too, I think they aren't very hard to fix ;) - side mirrors should have mirror texture, not car material - badges :) http://www.photo-auto.fr/porsche/911,gt3,gt3,rs-g312a.jpg - some triangles have the car paint material into front lights Interior is great, I love counters :)

About a 4th tuning kit, I think it's not possible as: - only 3 kits are present in this game - with 600bhp, the servers will disconnect you very likely - personally I don't want to be responsible for any 600bhp skyline, nor 1000bhp honda civic in this game :p Again, please read Modding Tools user guide. I'm not writing it for my pleasure, but for you ! Anyway you may always ask questions about particular topics here.

The least possible; but I guess everyone will have to make his mind before using it, as always ... ;)

Great news for diablo lovers. Personally, I feel jealous over Xbox owners and their Diablo GT. Moreover, I never use the XJ220 because I don't like its appareance. As a Lambo it would be perfect to me. In a few weeks it will be possible to totally change car brand, so I'll take my revenge :twisted:

Yeah, at least. I'd like to make a full customizer... it would be improved release after release.

Hi, as I'm frequently asked on what the next Modding Tools will be about etc., here is a quick&dirty preview of past, present and future features. Of course, some of this info is not guaranteed in any kind, and depends hugely from modders' needs - and my spare time. Here we go : Version 1.10 Release date : july,16th - Celebrating 2 years of TDU Patch 1.66A New wizard : vehicle manager - many bug fixes in DB and BNK management - mod installer - manufacturer, model, version switcher - dealer and V-RENT handler - tuner management : ability to change tuning brand and location - wheel drive changing (FWD / AWD / RWD) File Browser can be set to use a particular folder when replacing files (new setting) Progress bar while running patch New patch instructions and variables TDU Mod And Play! redistributable now complies with new modding rules. More news soon with 2CVSUPERGT Version 1.11 Because of yellow facts, without having got agreement from staff here, this version is not uploaded/linked to TDU:C. Release date : september Vehicle manager follow-ups Data - all available cameras and IK sets added (some are not guaranteed to work, though) Vehicle manager follow-ups - datasheet facts - gearbox type changing > ok, only changes driver animation and switching sound. Semi-auto setting is for fun only and will be removed in later version if no change is noticed. - engine location setting > ok, only changes engine sound source - ride height setting (front/rear) > may change maximum speed and cornering. So there will be value restrictions. - suspension height and rate (front/rear) > testing finished. Looks like to have same impact as ride height. - supercharger type > ok, only enables/disables turbo effect - (max RPM tweaking) > ok, does not change performance - mainly lowers car performance if wrong setting :) - (gearbox ratio / gear count tweaks) > Car behaviour changed but global performance is still the same (maximum speed cannot be changed) - enhancing existing features - ability to also change Camera and IK Names and CarColor Editors are now obsolete and will be removed (use Vehicle Manager instead) See change log : http://tdumodshop.forumactif.net/tools-f13/tdu-modding-tools-modder-edition-t55-60.htm#2068 [...] Version 1.14 Release date : 4th April, 2010 Vehicle manager follow-ups - datasheet facts : speed limiter setting.

I agree with Tool. Keep in mind that ZModeler import/export is getting no updates, and I'm sure , does not support all features of Eden's 3D engine still. Especially with materials configuration. Designer/converter guys need a good experience of workarounds to solve these issues.

Not before 3-4 weeks anyway. Next version has already improvements, I can't include such subjects at the moment. Moreover, I know how to enable this next features, yet I have to make it easy to use for everyone. And that requires a lot of additional work.
