Ok, you go to the UCD and buy a car. It gets greyed out and car is no longer available. With this tool, you can make it so its not greyed out and you can buy the same car in the same color with the same miles, ect. What is the benefit? I'm not putting down your tool at all, just trying to understand the benefit of it. Maybe I'm just being a dumbass here and missing something, lol. No comment from you JK, lol.
In closing here, if you guys really want to impress me, how about being able to put any rims on any car we like? Now that, to me anyway, would be the ultimate breakthrough. Maybe an "enable all rims" button. Yea, I know this can't be done because the rims are tied to the chassis, at least that's what I've been told, but there has to be a way damnit, lol.
Hey,
Well, asking is never a problem. But every idea comes from somewhere.
So..
I can remember quite recently people had issues while buying 1 car and others got greyed out as well (PD bug).
So not giving them the opportunity to buy the other car anymore. This thead was on our beloved GTP, I think Q&A part
That was one reason.
Some tuners like to have multiple of the same car, with different tunes or different colors etc.
Certain upgrades are permanent, for setup A, B and C. Waiting for another car of the same model to show up again can take ages
That was another reason.
Of course, there are other ways, Slim355 made that available with the Garage Editor to get the same car multiple times.
But not everybody is fond of using these rather advanced editing/hybrid tools.
So this small "fix" can help some or maybe many people reaching their goal within GT5.
It took only a small amount of time to extract details about this UCD and the coding was done within 1 hour.
So, taking that in account, we wanted it. If nobody needs it, fine too! But it is available to be used
About your wish for rims, we'll never release any tool that requires to CFW your PS3 to have that benefit.
We don't like to push people into taking the risk of bricking their PS3 or getting banned.....
But for everything there is a solution, as soon as you supply us with
all in-game car chassis sizes and the available rims for each chassis.
I'm willing to write a tool which give you the option to select a perfect matching chassis (swap) for your car with the wanted rims.
How does that sound?
Cheers and have a nice day!
