Hi,




I want to change car settings (like speed; acceleration; etc...), but I can't found any file where it can be to edit.




I have SDS Tool GUI, but if I extract any car .sds it extraxt only textures; sound; collisons and Stream.xml...


 




Can anybody help me?


 


 




Sorry for my English,




Mirek

Slimy,


 




Check out Dgumba's (cannabean5's) YouTube Channel.


 




http://www.youtube.com/user/cannabean5?feature=chclk


 




He has a "Mafia 2 Car Mod Tutorial" along with others he was able to figure out.




Most of it involves "Hex Edit" which can be a pain at times but he has done some good work.

I think I saw a stats file in tables.sds that's similar to GTA's handling.cfg when I did some snooping around with Rick's SDS tools.

Thanks!


 




Q808 - You are right! I edit EntityDataStorage_0.bin for jeep_civil in Notepad++ exactly like cannabean5 and speed and horsepower is changed in game, but jeep rides only in 6000+ rpm. In less car just stay or loses speed.




However thank you - I will play with it  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 




lpg_unit - I was looking for any things in tables.sds, but I can? find anything. Maybe I'm just blind.

Slimy,


 




Also, once you have made changes test it in both "Driving Modes" in the Main Menu Options.


 




Driving Mode Set to Normal (steering and braking assists) or Simulation




(no assists; acceleration is more realistic for the cars of the era).


 




I believe it makes a difference but not sure which setting Dgumba's uses.




I'd have to research that one.  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

Q808,


 




Yes, Simulation is better then Normal Mode of driving, but it isn't solve the problem.




First I edit properties of jeep_civil and there was the problem - I edit ISW 508 to 324mph (521kmph) and it work as I wanted  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 




Once more - Thanks  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

Stick with it and you will start to understand how it works.

Sorry to re-ask the same question, but i was not able to find dgumba's article in his youtube channel.




Can someone repost it, or give me some indications?  :dry:


 




I will also appreciate anything useful if someone would help...    <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

spaghettino




how much I know Dgumba never did not write an article (possibly I mistaken)




but I have not seen from him information




the fact that it changes the bin files this is so clear




Any hex editor (Hex Workshop,UltraEdit etc.)




but that it changes and where He did not say




handbook the code for Mafia II there is no




I think that he does it




method inspections and errors

Hi zahar999, i sincerely wish to thank you for the fast answer  :woohoo:
