Looks like its back up. Many thanks to lean and everyone else involved with the server.

Unfortunately Project Paradise was hosted in the OVH data center that burned down last night, i don't know if or when it will be back online yet.

Hi,
you said you've put Euro folder back to initial directory after unpack. But I assume the BIG files are still there ? That would explain why the game does not take unpacked files into account.
Unpacker creates a dedicated TDU2 install with all required files copied automatically from the original folder. I always ran TDU2 from the unpacked folder afterwards. Just keep the original directory as a backup (you may zip it).

Oh my gosh, that solved it! I feel dumb now ^^;
Thanks for helping out! I noticed it unpacked even the game executable and various other files, but I had no idea it created an entire new install of the game, I always thought it had to be fused with the original installation.

So I've installed everything and got to the login and I've out all my details and i get this error, but on my TDU World account I have no profiles. Can anyone help i love TDU2 and I wanna play it again online but cant atm  :(

Nvm ive fixed it, need to make the key.txt file

Hi, that's not a subject related to TDU Modding tools. Creator of TDUPE left the scene awhile ago so there's no support unless someone kind and experienced answers.
Personally, I've only issues when using this tool, that has not been designed to work well with new packs as platinum.
To solve your issue you should apply database backup you've made for sure before making any changes. Otherwise replace euro BNK database folder with the one in latest platinum update.
In the future, consider using more recent tool as TDUF. Not willing to promote my work in any way, but it tends to be the only tool which supports every tdu database.

Usage of edited savegames or trainers will likely make you banned eventually
Indeed although that works win a way, there's no guarantee it will be compatible with future updates of TDUWorld and team won't bring any support  
That's maybe because TDUWorld is compatible with UP 0.4 vehicles for now.  When free ride will be more stable, next updates will bring own vehicle pack.
Anyway nothing prevents you from file swapping locally as that does not make any impact on online experience.

Hi, TDU player from the beginning. I come from game's native country and had the chance to meet Eden Games staff at the times 🙂 I was part of the team from the first french community at tdu.fr (it has passed away since then).
I also followed TDU2 development and played a bit on PS3, but I could not get enough fun.
I worked a lot on TDU modding, providing some tools and  spending hours in reverse engineering, leading to most of vehicle mods and Platinum. And many more.
Concerning TDU2, I adapted Bnk unpacking/repacking tools for PC and I believe they are always used by modders by now, although being full of bugs 🤣

Once again...
Tdu2 has nice graphics (for the time at least) a bunch of nice ideas and Ibiza, set of charming Mediterranean landscapes.
But not enough to make forget those awful handling and physics engine. 
As already said, game physics are not in moddable files, this is mostly source code, that only game developers have and can understand. Such people are making this for a living, and can't give time and copyrighted content to free time modders. Besides, I think most Eden game developers have switched to other projects, and most obviously, to better opportunities.
Instead of complaining, why one would not help remaining modders ?? Better spend time and energy for this...
I truly believe tdu2 modding is great already. Just this game lacked the opportunity to seduce me. That's life 😂
 

Right, color codes are not in the database. They are declared as materials in the Colors.bnk file. A work is in progress for that matter... Stay tuned.

Worth mentioning gear ratios can be changed from TDUMT as well... That has been 10 years from now.
 
 
 
 
 

You can change gear ratio with TDUF by Djey

Platinum has a compatible TDUPE version embedded I guess, which has been specially modified for that case. You should have look at Platinum files.
An alternative is TDUF database editor, which is more advanced and allows to change more things than only vehicle physics. But with great power come great responsibilities 🙂

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since we've openly shared anything about TDU World and an update was long overdue, luckily we have lots of good things to show! Over the past few months we have been working long and hard and have overcome quite a few of the biggest obstacles regarding online play. Some people might already know about some of the news since we teased it in our Discord (which you can join here if you haven't already!), but there is some more stuff to talk about... 😉
We won't keep you waiting any longer, lets get into it! 🙂

TDU World got a fresh new logo!
First of all, to go with the advancements of the project, we decided on a new and more distinctive logo. The old one was lacking some emotion and it was a bit boring, the new logo is set to change that! It also fits more into the TDU setting by displaying some palm trees. 😉 Here it is:
*drum ruffle*
 

 
We are currently updating all social channels to use the new logo, together with a full restyle of the launcher. Stay tuned!

And now: The news you've been waiting for...

Yup! you guessed it. After a long time of trial and error, we have gotten the first online interactions working! These include the following features:
Player logins & lobbying Free roam, including: Car functionality (i.e. lights, horn, windows, exhaust sounds) Chat (including profanity filter) Co-op driving Instant Challenges (PvP Races) Voice chatting Vehicle Liveries (car colour, stickers, etc.) Dealerships & other player rooms (excluding houses) Both islands (Ibiza & O'ahu, Hawaii) Report/Banning system (All User Offenses) Traffic (AI) GPS player count Joining players via the Map All single player content like races and the timed events still works as normal Features currently in the works:
Friends & Recent players list (works but not fully) Time & Weather (works but not fully) Further Lobbying, including but not limited to Races (Private and Matchmaking), Casino, etc. The biggest thing is of course the free roam functionality, which is working very well. Car syncing is great and smooth! We've been teasing this for an awful long time, so here's some content (proof if you will 🙂) of the servers working.
 



Some exciting progress as you can see!
As much as the team is working hard, it isn't all perfect yet. On that bombshell... We need the community! We're inviting a handful of players to join us with testing the server stability and functionality as well as get a first peek into the TDU World Mod Pack!

TDU World Closed Beta Testing
In line with the progress we have been making recently, the time has come to recruit some beta testers to ensure everything so far is working correctly!
Due to the complexity of the project and the sheer amount of feedback we will receive, the TDU World Community Server Beta will be limited to 20 people.
We will be needing members of the community to test the new server, launcher and mod pack and relay data back to us when you find something funky, or plain broken.
To participate, we require the following things:
Active contribution Be online often during testing Networking Opening ports in your router Using WireShark to log the communication between your game and the server Test Drive Unlimited 2 A legitimate copy, either retail or Steam. Time to play through part of the game Testing the server stability and mod pack additions Testing car class balance English language Speaking and understanding is a must If you check all of these boxes, you can submit an application here (Click "Here")
After we've chosen the 20 players out of all submission, we will be contacting them through Discord (be sure to allow personal messages during this time!). Please do not message any members of the team about the beta access or ask for any updates on the situation.
We do not yet know when the beta testing will start. When we have selected a date, we will update everyone!

TDU World now has a Patreon!
We've been constantly asked by the community if we will be accepting donations from avid TDU fans who want to support us, and now we can finally say yes! 
We have chosen to go with Patreon as our platform to accept donations on. There will be three tiers you can sign up to, outlined below:
Tier 1: £5.00 per month - Special "TDU World Fan" Discord title, bonus work-in-progress content Tier 2: £10.00 per month - Special "TDU World Super Fan" Discord title, bonus work-in-progress content, a TDU World sticker! Tier 3: £25.00 per month - Special "TDU World Ultra Fan" Discord title, bonus work-in-progress content, personalized Thank You Letter and a TDU World sticker & TDU World T-Shirt1! 1 - T-Shirts are only available for patrons who have subscribed for 3 consecutive months.
The funds raised will mainly be going towards server hosting, because that isn't free unfortunately! They will also be going towards other project fees. We promise to maintain full transparency on the Patreon as to where they money is being used. 
For those wishing to support us via Patreon, please visit https://www.patreon.com/OfficialTDUWorld. This is the only official way of donating to the project!
Remember: Supporting our project is optional! We will never, ever force players to support us, and playing on the servers/using the mod pack will always be free, forever.
 
The TDU World Mod Pack
We recently acquired some new members to start work on the TDU World Mod Pack. The goal with this mod pack is to make Test Drive Unlimited 2 feel like a modern game again. This means new music, new textures and perhaps most importantly: an updated car list. The pack will be split up into multiple parts: Cars, Environment, Sound and of course, a Full pack consisting of all parts. Below, we will go over these parts.
Cars
Considering how the world of automobiles has evolved since the creation of TDU2 and how many different vehicles have broken records and changed the rules, the car classes are getting fully rebalanced to be better suited for the new cars we are introducing. We did this not by nerfing (slowing down) the original cars, but by putting them against cars that really do match them in performance, whether they were cars from the original game or TDU World additions. For example: the Subaru Impreza is not going to make A6 look like a walk in the park any longer. Instead, it will face tougher competition!
The cars we will be adding are not just a combination of existing mods, we are also creating new high quality mods ourselves to accompany them. The new mods we are creating mostly consist of recent and brand new models from countries like Britain, Italy and Germany. While the new mods we are creating will be of high quality, we will also be keeping low end systems in mind.
Here is a little sneak peek on some of the vehicles that will be added!



Environment
For the games' graphics, we will be using a combination of existing mods to bring more life into the islands and make them look less dated.
For now we have selected mods for roads, foliage and clouds. We will also be tweaking the in game settings to allow for higher quality shadows, and better draw distance for instance. The tweaks we will be doing here are not set in stone yet and requires more research to see the possibilities.



Sound
We will be replacing the radio stations to feature new songs, and if possible, we might even add new radio stations! Music for the map, start screen etc. will also be changed.

Again, these packs are all optional.
In the end, we want everyone to be running the same game, so everyone can enjoy the same cars and more importantly: have a balanced online racing experience! There will of course be people who prefer the stock experience and thus, we will not require use of the modpack. We will, however, be sure everyone runs the same balanced database so all cars will be in the correct classes.
 
Looking for a sound designer!
For the mod pack, we also want to overhaul some of the car sounds in the game. These are kind of lacking and remove some of the immersion while driving. The thing is, we currently do not have a member in our team who is able to create high quality sound mods for cars. Therefore, we give the community a chance to apply!
Do you think you can create high quality sound mods for the cars in TDU2? We would like to get in touch!

-----
We hope we supplied everyone with enough news! This was it for now, we hope to share more news soon, so stay tuned! Thanks to each and every one of you for supporting and following this amazing and huge project! ❤️
 
Best regards,
The TDU World Team

People modding right here do their best regarding the free time they get. That could be even better, but hey already better than nothing. I would never expect this game could be as easily modded/moddable as GTA for example. Some games have a bright modding future, some haven't such, there are lots of reasons for that.
At the end of the day, instead of complaining about others not doing enough given the game potential, some people should be more helpful and start contributing. It's never to late....

TDUF 2.0.0 is live! See Downloads section.
Enjoy!
