Post by: SaNdBoXSaDisT on June 11, 2012, 02:15:10 AM
havin a hard time installing this mod...




HQ Textures 2.5 (http://www.playground.ru/files/mafia_2_empire_bay_hq_textures_v2_5_final_for_mafia_2-55236/:o51xl37o)


 




The read me is all in Russian & i cant find a translator for the read me file. Can some one translate this read me file that i'll attatch?


 




It says in the first part (i think) to put...


 




"cnt_empire_bay_hq_textures_by_bear_grylls"




into




"Mafia IIpcdlcs" folder (i think)


 




but theirs a 2nd part in the read me that says to put...


 




"cnt_empire_bay_hq_textures_by_bear_gryllssdsgroundground_leto.sds"




into




"Mafia IIpcsdsground" folder??? which one is it?


 




Im just a tad bit confused here..




Do i put it in the "pcdlcs" folder




or do i put it in the "pcsds" folder":eek:


 




Russian Read me file:




EmpireBayHQtextures2.5readmeRUS.txt[/attachment:o51xl37o]


 




I wish i took russian in High School Now   (//wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/sad.png)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

You have to take a file ground_leto.sds from the archive




and paste it into your game Mafia IIpcsdsground


 




all other information




a description of the texture


 




I like using Empire Bay HQ Textures V2.0 by the same author Bear Grylls




I really like

So i STILL put "cnt_empire_bay_hq_textures_by_bear_grylls" folder in "pcdlcs" foder, THEN i take the same file from THAT folder i just copied to dlcs folder, and copy it to "pcsdsground" folder? So in the in the end this is what my file structure should look like....


 




Part 1( pcdlcs folder structure )




(//i.imgur.com/VWwgG.jpg&key=9ad1d77fb237902a2c768f68af9a0c260b99c390cd170d17bbf2eb2bb899c756)


 




Part 2 ( pcsds folder structure )




(//i.imgur.com/hs9P1.jpg&key=18367651d6ca99803bcd4364750b233ed47338935fc3dc05ed550a89c91d4fdf)


 




Hopefully my confusing screenshots will help lol




i hope you get what im tryin to say.


 




So in the end i should have two copies of "ground_leto.sds" installed.




One in my "pcdlcscnt_empire_bay_hq_textures_by_bear_gryllssdsground" folder


 




and one in my " pcsdsground" folder (overwritting the curent one)


 




Is this correct?

If you have a licensed game




then someone else's DL?




will not work


 




I wrote to you




You have to take a file ground_leto.sds from the archive




and paste it into your game Mafia IIpcsdsground


 




take the file "ground_leto.sds" of "cnt_empire_bay_hq_textures_by_bear_grylls"




and paste it into your game


 




Well, what you do not understand




your screenshots




that's for sure LOL

all my dlc works, not using steam version (//smile.gif). So all i do is copyoverwrite "ground_leto.sds"




into pcsdsground folder. Thats it? No copying to pcdlcs folders at all?


 


 




Im also little  confused as to where the "content" file is supposed to go, or if i am even supposed to use it at all??? heres the file i mean...




(//i.imgur.com/t0B73.jpg&key=4b3dfb7c5dab94ada10339abb2a890c600b6bcb6cd9aff3c7dcc448808913e87)


 




is their only one folder i should be placing ground_leto.sds too? Just to pcsdsground and thats it?




is "content" file not used at all? Did he just add that to his Mod zip file by mistake?

SaNdBoXSaDisT




you are strange




third time you ask the same question




twice I've already answered




you want that I quote myself again


 




If your game is taking someone else's DLC




Then simply insert "cnt_empire_bay_hq_textures_by_bear_grylls"




in Mafia IIpcdlcs




You could do this for a long time to test




and you ask questions and wait for an answer




can check it yourself

Ok, I think i understand the read me noww. If you own a licenced game put "ground_leto.sds" in pcsdsground folder. Only way itll work, correct?


 




If you DONT own a licenced copy , just stick "cnt_empire_bay_hq_textures_by_bear_grylls" in "pcdlcs" folder!


 




I get it now, lol sry for the confusion. lmao. Language barriers suck!


 




well, thx soo much for the help, gtg , Prometheus 3D time! Your karma has grown by one zahar999, And keep coding those mods, i like your mods too!




thx again!

yeah i think i have your "FR M2 memory" mod , here...




FR M2 memory (http://www.playground.ru/files/mafia_2_freeride_m2_vospominanie-53838/:27q5kx0g)


 




in awnser to weather its working or not, its hard to tell cause i just installed this mod too...




Revhancer 1.15 (http://www.playground.ru/files/mafia_2_revhancer_1_15_for_mafia_ii_by_orangebrains-57422/:27q5kx0g)  


 




Its hard to tell with enb on  sometimes. I'll remove Revhancer mod before i try this one, sorry just got back from Movies... (//frown.gif)


 


 




Thanks for the help with this mod, made all the difference. Now maybe you can help with this file....


 




Update





Ok i think its working. I just removed Revhancer Mod & i have to start from beginning of game(in ww2 italy) So its harder to tell. I just checked the dlc section inside the main menu and it seems to be recognizing it :woohoo:




(//i.imgur.com/lRb5x.jpg&key=9f1f4780c026b24dbfaab150e31dea129b7fb17e09733db57aa4abea683ccf7c)


 




I think its safe to say its working...




thx again! Maybe i will post some screenshota later with Dxtory and show you. You will know for sure once i hit the streets of Empire Bay. Once im driving around in a vehicle you should be able to tell. I just reinstalled MAFIA II so i dont have any save games + with updates , it says to start a new game....


 




Update





Just thought ide post some screens to see if you could tell if its working or not. Im stuck in winter right now, So its kinda hard to tell for me. I havent Really been playing this game all that much to be honest. A friend turned me onto this game recently. Maybe you can tell if its working, since you use this mod yourself. OK, On to the screens...

Like I said, kinda sucks because its im in snow still but ill update as i progress through game  <img src="/emoticons/sick.png.5e18d4558e116e768dc9391ac4b6df84.png" alt=" :sick: " data-emoticon="">




I just cant get passed this first brawl with this ROTH Mod! OMG! this mod makes the game impossible lol


 









UPDATE











Ok, I know its working now! I uninstalled  the "dlcs" install version & just installed "ground_leto.sds" in my "pcsdsground" folder and what do you know? My load game failed and it said "your last save used Empire Bay HQ Textures 2.5 DLC which failed to load. Please install the DLC & load your last save" (not exact words)


 




This was very reassuring because now I know its working. Works in my "pcsdsground" folder aswell but if you switch install locations be aware, YOU HAVE TO LOAD A NEW GAME!











thx for the help zahar, made all the difference. had no idea Licenced copies needed different install location. Very helpfull info.


 




ps. No i aint Russian. i could read all of these Mafia II mod read me files if i was!




Im Canadian
 (not the french kind (//smile.gif) Thx again!










UPDATE
 
(for english speaking modders)



 




So releived! Found a nice little plugin to solve all our Non-Russian speaking Mafia Modders!


 




Step 1: Download Notepad++ App: Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.1.3.html:27q5kx0g)


 




Step 2: install Translate
 Plugin.




A tutorial can be found here: Translate Plugin for Notepad++ (http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/translate-notepad-plugin-translates-text-between-multiple-languages/:27q5kx0g)


 




Now you should be able to read GermanRussian read me files. Which is a huge percentage of the Mods for MAFIA II. I wish i found this solution a long time ago. Hope this helped.  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:
