Magic BNK Tool
Djey a member of the french TDU community, realsed a new mod, called Magic BNK. This is another milestone towards modding TDU successful. What the tool does is to disable the BNK size check from the TDU engine. The Benefit is that people can replace any BNK with any other, without worring about the byte size of the BNK's. This comes very handy for the upcoming and new cars, and opens the modders a another new door as they are no longer limited by the given BNK file sizes. The tool is tested out online and is fully save to use. I uploaded the File to our Tools & Files area. go get it while its hot.

TDU Import / Export Filter for ZMod2
On 31. of July, Oleg published a new Update for his ZMod2 Modeller Software. This Update includes the special ability to import and also to export 3d meshes to TDU. In other words, you are finally able to modify Meshes. Oleg suggests that this new filter is more or less only for advanced users that know what they are doing. For more detailed information about the Filter you may check the original thread about it from Oleg at: the ZModeler Forums
