OK thanks so i assume the tool set will do that... at least i am hopeful it will.

Very nice indeed thanks.

thanks so much for these links, i was looking for your mods. Sorry about Uptown, i may have it in my mod archive let me look and dig a bit. thanks.


 




Kinder and Gentler seems to have been deleted by Mediafire, or changed somehow, can you give us a link for that again pls? that sounds like a nice change.

Yes i have had data extractor working on my main study install of Mafia I for some time now. thanks. I still cant find a few textures i need to work on..do you know what the Hedge texture is? i think it may use the hanging ivy but i am not sure yet. I have been able to find the worst of the other offenders..the lime green grass and the yellow cliffs...  <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">   thanks and thanks for your mod work, i love a car by you i found, very nice.

I like that. If the game engine will do it, it would be fun to have a series of missions based on finding certain items around the game world, and meeting people at specific locations like the Tennis Club, and the lighthouse, both of which have detail and could be good settings esp at sunset or on a dark night. It would be great to follow up on that initial scene of Matteo's for there could be lots of interaction and some good chase scenes. I just don't know yet what the game engine will accept in the way of new missions and detail, and even some new dialogue if possible. I suppose if the new files were formated right and the new mission schedules and time line could be inserted it would work. My next step after studying the vanilla game ( after i correct some of the god awful landscape textures  <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"> ) is to study CoLD Mod i think i have the last version in my files. But this is a good topic.

Matteo thanks very much i will give it a try. Glad it worked for you I am hopeful of being able to possibly edit the streetcar models to correct some inacuracies and possibly improve the texturing. thanks again.

In case you havent seen his blog and pics, do follow the link he gives, it is one of the best re textures I have seen yet and I have seen most of them, for Mafia I, a wonderful job and the colours and lighting is very well done and he has researched the correct livery for the Streetcars, too bad the texture for the car is just a wrap around so we can add the correct name for the line but he got the colour much better for that. Sadly they messed up the roof of the cars which should be domed and the pantograph is dual which is common in Europe but not the way they were in New York...here is a pic of the correct cars..and Suuu got very close. I PMd him on the photo sharing site he gives a link for hoping he will renew the upload of the re text pack.


 

Yes i had thought they planned to do streetcars, buses and subways too, sorry that it did not make it into the final release..i think they did have it working at one point. It would have really given us a wider world. I suppose I am grateful for the amazing virtual world they DID give us, that is one of my main interests..3D world making and this is one of the very very best yet. The accuracy has gone way up too from Mafia I, the cars, city and clothing, and much of it is very good, the trains lack a bit, with just a little more accuracy they could have made that part awesome too. I did see a publicity picture of the correct livery for the train but the engine and livery i see in the game is not at all historic. I wonder if they ran into trademark problems with that. But i would love to hear more about the devel. history.

I think it would be great but as you say how would all the AI cars get thru it if they had to pay? i cant imagine the complexity of the coding to achieve that....would require a virtual economy for all the AI Players and a way they could restore their credit balance but..it might be fun to be able to rob individuals..they did add some of this in Mafia II.
