TDU Cruise Car Picker Tool

[M_3628905]

Further to trying to help Jamie hurry up and pick cars, I thought I might as well make this tool a bit more useful than just a one-off application.

The design is pretty much complete, I just have to finish off the coding, and find myself a complete car list for PC.

Edit:
The program is complete and can be downloaded here (http://ryzza007.googlepages.com/TDUCruiseTool.zip). Current version is 1.0.1

If you're not using Windows Vista - you will see weird characters after every car and player. I have no idea why, you'll just have to put up with it for now.

[Colster]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dustwave]

looks cool :)

would be awesome if you could keep track of each player's enjoyment and skill of each car tonguegre

[maroonstigjlr]

Nice :D. Sorry bout it taking long, internet being a pain, school.. You know how it is :laugh:

[AndriusLT1123]

Only too well, i'm afraid... :laugh:

[astontdu]

Looks good.

I'm glad there's some interest in this. Feature requests are welcome, and I can add them to later versions.

One thing that someone could help me with (since I don't have a heck of a lot of free time) is a complete car list. Doesn't have to be in any particular order, just put the class/group letter at the front (as shown in pic at the top), and put an asterix (*) after any Megapack cars. (Skylines and RS4 treated as standard cars, since you need the 1.66 patch to play online and cruise).

Once I get that it shouldn't take long to release v1 of the software.

Well this should be complete, although I wasn't sure about some of the classes. Are all Lexus' F?

[M_3628905]

Thanks mate - I think one or two might be Group E - the first IS one and the convertible one from memory

[Colster]

OK should be right now, been in game to check the Lexus and added any missing ones I wasn't sure about and added the Saleen 281's

[M_3628905]

Ok guys - release 1 is ready for testing/use.

Let me know what you think.

Download from here (http://ryzza007.googlepages.com/TDUCruiseTool.zip), extract, and run.

[M_3628905]

If people want to upload their enjoyment/skill of each car, I'll consider adding Dustwave's feature request. You wouldn't have to do this for every single car - you can be neutral to some.

So, for example:

McLaren F1 - 4 - 3

...would indicate that my enjoyment level (out of 5) for the F1 is 4/5 and the skill level is 3/5 (in H mode).

If the response is small, then don't complain to me Dusty ;)

[astontdu]

Nice idea, should be able to predict who's going to crash the most-oh wait that's pyrre and foxies job.lolblue:

[maroonstigjlr]

Nice idea, should be able to predict who's going to crash the most-oh wait that's pyrre and foxies job.lolblue:

And pyrre mostly being into the back/sides and even front of me tonguegre

I will deffinetly use this for my next cruise Ryzza, thanks 10sur10

Also it would be nice to know the popularity of each car.(might be helpful for organising cruises)
Are all Lexus' F?

No, some are E class.

[pogostickio]

oops. did I press the wrong button? I'm always doing that. So this new PSU then... What happens if I move this little red switch over to 150v? Oh, yeah hi, Micro-Direct? Got any more PSU's? :nuts:

[M_3628905]

I'll look into that error pogo. I know what's wrong - I just have to find 'where' it is.

If you could tell me when it happened (when the app loaded or when you hit the Random button) that would help.

I uploaded it at 12.20am last night/morning and was too tired to do all that much testing.

I'm not sure why your app is showing those weird characters in the lists, maybe it's becaue your regional settings are different to mine, not sure.

[pogostickio]

I was wondering if I have to have the TDU application running...? I get the feeling your answer is going to be.. D'UH!! Also to answer your question it happens when I hit RANDOMIZE.

and here is the error message in full.

[M_3628905]

I'm pretty sure I fixed that error last night (since I saw it when testing) - maybe I just uploaded the wrong version.

Fixed version on its way now (give 10 mins) - it will then be available at the same link. You'll know you've got the newer version since I've added 'YaronMi' to the PlayerList.

I can add an update checker later on if it looks like there will be a lot of minor updates.

[M_3628905]

Ok - program is updated.

You DO NOT need TDU open for this program to work... duh :)

The weird characters appearing at the end of item doesn't occur in my Vista virtual machine where I made the app, but is happening on my Host XP OS.

Are there any other Vista users who do or don't have this prob - let me know

[Dustwave]

I see the weird characters too. (Though i'm on XP (SP3))

[maroonstigjlr]

I just tried it out on Vista. Works no problems. Only thing I can think of would be the ability to add people to the player list and being able to pick multiple cars at once rather than put them in one at a time.

Other than that, great :D

[M_3628905]

I anticipated those two requests right from the start, but am a little surprised you haven't worked this out for yourself Jamie :) (note to self: not all gamers are computer geeks) :laugh:

You can add to the list of players very easily by opening the 'PlayerList.txt' file in notepad and adding names down the bottom (or wherever you like). The program sorts names of players and cars alphabetically.

To speed up the choosing of players and cars in the app, just double-click on the item. Double-click in the left list to send it to the right one, and vice-versa. When choosing cars - set the view using the options on the right to filter the left list (doesn't affect the middle car list). ie Select 'Show DLC cars only', add all cars by clicking >>, then remove the ones you don't want individually, which is faster than searching for the cars you want individually from the All Cars list.


That's really weird how Vista shows the lists fine, but XP has those weird symbols at the end of each item. At least it doesn't stop the app working in any way - but I'll do some searches and see if I can find anything.

[M_3628905]

Just bumping this up a bit so it's easier to find in future

[Colster]

/me votes for sticky

[M_3628905]

Bumped again, as requested
