Welcome!


 




I've seen that nobody created such thread, so I did it " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  Here I will post some interesting findings, which I've encountered during playing Mafia 1.


 




I will post only the chosen ones (the most thrilling  ).


 


 




Chapter 4 - 'Ordinary Routine'


 




1. Near Central Hoboken underground station, we see an empty square and above we can see a light turned on.


 


 




Chapter 7 - 'Better Get Used To That'


 




1. When we will talk to Luigi, he will thank Tommy for saving Sarah.


 




2. When we are using Mafia Con, we can bind a key for flying around the city. We get our car and go to West Marshall Bridge (leading from Little Italy to Central Island; and it's closed at this moment). We stop here, get out of our ride and fly to the other site of the bridge. In this way, we'll be able to see three cars parked on the other site of the bridge (one of these is a yellow Lassiter).


 


 




Chapter 8/9 'Whore/Priest'


 




1. When we walk around the building nearby the Corleone Hotel, the police won't shoot at us.


 




2. In Corleone Hotel, in one of the rooms we can find a knife (and thanks to him, we can do our mission




stealthily).

</div>

 


 




3. When we stab a guy at the reception desk, the guards won't shoot at us (like in video above)


 




4. While doing mission in the church in Down Town, we can extinguish the candles using our gun (just shoot at it " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">)


 


 




Chapter 11 - 'Omerta'


 




1. When we press action button near our boss, he will tell us that he's missing Frank.


 




2. When we press action button near a bartender, he will tell us that this action with Frank has Don already shaken.


 




3. I've encountered sth interesting in the country. While I was chasing the feds escorting Frank to the airport, the driver got stuck between the column and some bushes. So I had to kill the driver, steal their car and drive Frank to the airport! But we can't open it so early in the game! Can you believe it ?


 


 




Chapter 12 - 'Visiting Rich People'


 




1. We can extinguish the lights in the mansion with our gun (just like in a church, simply shoot at it).


 




2. After Salvatore opens the inlet gate, we approach it and when the loading screen appears, we click right button on our mouse - in this way, the car we reach the mansion will be spawned in the garden with Tommy and Salvatore inside that car (works for every car).


 


 




Chapter 13


 




1. When the cutscene at the parking lot is played, try to write 'cumdal' (without quotes) on your keyboard. In this way, another Tommy will appear near the entrance.


 


 




Chapter 15 - 'You Lucky Bastard'


 




1. When we press action button near Salieri, he will tell us that Sergio is a moron.


 




2. When we press action button near Luigi, he will be curious how is Tommy's relationship with Sarah.


 


 




Chapter 16 - 'Creme De La Creme'


 




1. When we press action button near Salieri, he will tell us to send a message to Morello before killing him (he will order us to say few words to him).


 




2. There are three ways to finish this mission:




-> Standard - airport, when we shot him down




-> Very rare - Morello crashes in his car, we get out of our transport and kill him using 'Lupara'




-> The most effective - we follow Morello till he reaches the brigde, which is not finished and he falls from above with his bodyguards in their car. At the end, that car... (see yourself  :cool: )


 


 




Chapter 17 - 'Election Campaign'


 




1. When we press action button near Salieri, he will tell us that he hates politicians.


 




2. When leaving the prison (after destroying a padlock at the gate and before opening that gate), we get rid of our guns and FBI checks us out and then we are on our way. It's because that guy seen at the sewer entry sold us out to the feds - ofc. we can kill him, but the feds will check us out anyway. When we try to escape from the feds, they are shooting at us. We also can see a hearse parked nearby.


 


 




Free Ride


 




1. We shoot the wheels off in the car, where there's a driver inside and we steal it. Then we get into that car and the new wheels will appear (the old ones will be visible on the road).


 




2. In Morello Lounge Bar, when in Chapter 3 was a gate at back of the parking lot, there's a transparent wall - and we can go through it (in this way, we can infiltrate Morello's parking lot without any mods).


 


 




Free Ride Extreme


 




1. Do you remember that mission when we're following a guy and carrying a crate ? Well, when we are finishing it, it says us to put this crate on the ground. When done properly, we do this thing - we kill this guy and when we are starting a car that we were awarded with, it explodes.


 


 




Rest of the findings (I don't remember the mission where they occur)


 




1. We can turn on Salieri's gramophone using right mouse button (It's in some mission, not FR or FREx).

Here we can post anything, which paid our attention during playing Mafia 2 " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 


 




Chapter 1 - 'Old Country'

5. After a fight, we are going over Joe's, crossing the street and we see a pair, which has an argument. When her husband goes away, Vito suggests repairing her car (in Mafia 2 demo we can gain an achievement this way). After that, woman pays Vito off tenderly.


 




6. Having the police deleted, we steal Jefferson and... no red dot appears on the map. We don't have to restart mission - it's needed to go to any service station to change plates and then we can go over Mike's.


 




7. During our travel to Mike, Joe tells us funny things about flirting with girls


 




8. When Joe takes us to the bar, in the sky we can see some aircrafts flying - finding & screen by Mohamed

Chapter 3 - 'Enemy Of The State'

2. When Derek asks Vito about his father and hears, that he's dead, he pretends he doesn't know anything about the reason of his death.


 




3. Before doing mission in OPA (in an alley leading to the entrance) we see a hobo sitting on the ground and drinking booze. When we stay near him for a while, he will ask us to give him some money. Then, the following action is available after pressing 'E' key - it's 'Give hobo a dollar'. After that, Vito says 'Don't spend everything on booze' or sth like that.


 




4. After infiltrating OPA, it's needed to turn the alarm off.


 




How to do ? See this:

Chapter 4 - 'Murphy's Law'


 




1. When there's a cutscene at the jewellery store, when Joe and Vito are escaping, we hear police sirens - and one of them seems to belong to Smith 200 Custom Police Special (but he's available only in summer) - but it's not heard very well, so you'll have to keep your ears opened.


 




2. When we are on the roof, we get rid of some cops and when we approach to the edge of that roof, we would see a cop standing near the entrance and makin' some weird moves.


 




Here is a video

4. When Vito, Eddie and Joe are coming back from the observatory's neighbourhood, in the radio we can hear a song "Return To Me" by Dean Martin - and then Vito says "poor Dino" (Dino was Dean Martin's nick, but I don't know if that reference was intentional).

1. Before Vito is about to track Luca, his auto must be parked near Freddy's Bar. Wherever we will park his car, during cutscene we will see it parked along upper road anyway.

3. At the slaughterhouse, we can ask a guy repairing his car, how to enter the slaughterhouse.


 




4. When we will sink our car in a dirty water completely, Vito will say: "Sorry, I forgot my pants".


 




5. When we kill some of Clemente's guys with our gun or using our hand (from the back) - mission will be failed. But when we will fight using our hands, nothing will happen.


 




6. After finishing mission, Vito's suit is stinking horribly. We have two ways - dress up or not. When we won't dress up, Eddie will say that Vito could dress yourself up before visiting Maltese Falcon Bar. We will be ordered to go to one of the cloth shops, then.


 


 




Chapter 10 - 'Room Service'


 




1. When we will supercharge & repaint our car before doing the mission and when we reach the cutscene when Joe kills Clemente, at this cutscene we will see that our car has been downgraded (custom tuning, custom painting).

3. When Vito is ordered by Leon to arrive to Lone Star to pick Joe up (when Joe kills Leon accidentally), after dragging his dead body to his car's trunk, we could encounter a situation when the cops would arrest us (even if our car is not wanted). Maybe they were programmed to know about that body ?


 




And one more interestic thing - "Leon" and "Lone" are anagrams (words, which were formed by moving the letters). Leon is the bartender's name and Lone Star is the bar's name.


 




4. There's no 13th floor in the hotel - discovered by Taylor
- Read more


 


 




Chapter 11 - 'A Friend Of Ours'


 




1. When Henry visits Vito in his villa, after short talking, we can get in his car and leave. After a little while, he will spawn at the passenger's seat. It works for all characters we are cooperating with.


 




2. Other general glitch - when some characters (e.g. Joe) are talking about mission, they don't pay attention that we are driving too fast or we trash someone etc.

Chapter 13 - 'Exit Of The Dragon'

1. When we are in Greenfield, we can see our villa trashed completely.

3. After killing Tommy Angelo, we see two guys chasing us. They seem to be Thomas's guards. One of them calls support from the police in Greenfield, revealing yourself as agent Cox. But in Mafia 1, the guy who protected Thomas, was inspector Norman.


 




4. When we deliver Joe to Kingston and we hit him with Smith Thunderbolt, our car will get damaged and our health will be less, too.

Chapter 15 - 'Per Aspera Ad Astra'


 




1. After conversation with Leo, we can kill the driver and then take care of Leo and Chu. It's difficult, because when you shoot the car, mission will be failed. You have to shoot the driver!

5. During the final battle, you can find some Molotov's cocktails.


 




6. At the parking lot in front of the observatory, we can see a big guy near Leo. It's Pepe Costa, who Vito met in the jail.


 




7. And now a thing which will set new light for an ending - the road where gangsters turned with Joe, leads to the observatory. Maybe they returned here or sth... I don't know. I expect that this issue will be revealed in Mafia 3  " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 




8. We still can find Derek in his office - discovered by zahar999

1. When we have one dollar and the cops will chase us because of exceeding speed (or hitting other car) and we stop, instead of option "Pay a fine" is an option "Say sorry". After choosing this action, Vito will say "Sorry" and the cops will let him go.

Hi!


 




I wanted to show you little script, which could let you test if your AV is set-up properly.


 


 




It's enough to paste this code to Notepad and save it with any name you want with *.bat extension.


 







<pre class="ipsCode">X5O!P%@AP[4PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*</pre>






 


 




IMPORTANT NOTE:


 




If you have set your AV up properly, it will block that file (considering it as a virus).


 




But that file is NOT a virus - it's quite harmless, so don't worry about your machine :lol:


 


 




Here you can read more about that file.


 


 




And now surprise - how to open DVD drive using VBScript ?


 




Open Notepad and paste this code in it. Then save it with any name you want with *.vbs extension.


 







<pre class="ipsCode">Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )

Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection

if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then

For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1

colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject

Next ' cdrom

End If</pre>






 




Double click to execute that script.


 


 


 




Have fun  " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

I have installed this mod like I've written in my tutorial - and a little question came to my mind. I can turn on the siren and a beacon in a cop car, but I can't do the same in case of ambulance.


 




So is there any way to make that beacon & siren working in ambulance ? You know, maybe some files needs to be edited or sth like that - I'm not good at it.


 


 




Any help will be appreciated.

Witam!


 




Zapraszam wszystkich do dyskusji na temat tego, która (Waszym zdaniem) strona o grze Mafia jest najrzetelniejsza. WybieraÃâ¡ moüemy spoÃâºród stron polskich, jak i zagranicznych. Liczba stron do wyboru nie jest okreÃâºlona  " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">   Uzasadnienie wyboru bÃâ¢dzie mile widziane, ale nie jest wymagane.


 


 




WedÃâug mnie, najrzetelniejszÃ⦠stronÃ⦠o tej tematyce jest niewÃâ¦tpliwie Mafia Scene, poniewaü z tej strony pochodzÃ⦠najlepsze mody do gier Mafia, jakie kiedykolwiek widziaÃâem. Moüna tutaj równieü uzyskaÃâ¡ pomoc od zaawansowanych Uüytkowników, którzy naprawdÃ⢠znajÃ⦠siÃ⢠na rzeczy. Taküe atmosfera tutaj jest bardzo dobra, co równieü wpÃâynÃâ¢Ãâo na mojÃ⦠ocenÃ⢠tej strony. Moüliwe jest taküe czytanie artykuÃâów o Mafii, pisanych przez jednego z Administratorów, które jeszcze bardziej zbliüajÃ⦠stronÃ⢠do mafijnej tematyki. Natomiast w dziale Download moüemy znaleúÃâ¡ wiele ciekawych modyfikacji, narzÃâ¢dzi oraz innych plików zwiÃâ¦zanych z obydwoma czÃâ¢Ãâºciami Mafii.


 




Na uwagÃ⢠zasÃâuguje teü rosyjska strona http://www.mafiapub.com - moüemy znaleúÃâ¡ na niej ciekawe skrypty do Mafii oraz inne ciekawe rzeczy - oraz francuska http://barmafia.free.fr - która sÃâynie z duüej iloÃâºci modeli samochodów do Mafii 1.


 




A jeÃâºli chodzi o polskie strony, to jednÃ⦠z lepszych stron jest witryna twórcy modyfikacji 'Polish Mod' dla Mafii 1, znanego pod pseudonimem Zdzichu. Na swojej stronie w dziale Download udostÃâ¢pniÃâ modele samochodów, które miaÃây byÃâ¡ uüyte w tej modyfikacji. Niestety, prace nad niÃ⦠zostaÃây zawieszone, ale na szczÃâ¢Ãâºcie udaÃâo siÃ⢠udostÃâ¢pniÃâ¡ samochody. Link do strony http://www.zdzichu.yoyo.pl


 




NaleüaÃâoby jeszcze wspomnieÃâ¡ o stronie http://www.miastomafii.xaa.pl - niestety, zostaÃâa usuniÃâ¢ta przez Administratora. ByÃâem zarejestrowany przez jakiÃ⺠czas na tej stronie i mogÃ⢠powiedzieÃâ¡, üe do dziaÃâu Download zostaÃây wrzucone ciekawe pliki, narzÃâ¢dzia i modyfikacje do obydwóch czÃâ¢Ãâºci Mafii. Niestety, wszystkie te pliki przepadÃây wraz z usuniÃâ¢ciem strony, która padÃâa ofiarÃ⦠konkurencji i nacisków z jej strony.


 




Na uwagÃ⦠zasÃâuguje teü czeska strona http://www.scorpions.cz - moüna tam znaleúÃâ¡ bardzo ciekawe modyfikacje gÃâównie do drugiej czÃâ¢Ãâºci gry Mafia. Do nich moüna zaliczyÃâ¡ rzadko spotykane pojazdy w grze oraz modyfikacje dodajÃâ¦ce tryb swobodnej jazdy w Mafii 2 w róünych odmianach.


 




To wszystko, co miaÃâem do powiedzenia. A jakie sÃ⦠Wasze ulubione strony ?

Witam!


 




W tym temacie chciaÃâem Wam przedstawiÃâ¡ nie byle jakie cacko z lat 50. - jest to Ford Thunderbird z 1955 roku.


 


 


 




Na poczÃâ¦tek nieco historii tego modelu...


 




W latach 50. XX wieku za sterami fabryki Forda zasiada Henry Ford Jr., syn sÃâawnego konstruktora Henry'ego Forda, którego üycie niestety dobiegÃâo koÃâca. Koncern potrzebowaÃâ "powiewu ÃâºwieüoÃâºci", aby rozruszaÃâ¡ starÃ⦠ofertÃ⢠produkcji. W duüym stopniu przyszÃây model Thunderbird jest zwiÃâ¦zany z II wojnÃ⦠ÃâºwiatowÃ⦠- a konkretnie z amerykaÃâskimi üoÃânierzami, którzy tuü pod koniec wojny przed inwazjÃ⦠na kontynent stacjonowali na Wyspach Brytyjskich. Mieli tutaj duüo czasu na obserwacje i ich uwagÃ⢠przykuÃây lekkie, dwuosobowe kabriolety, które byÃây wizytówkÃ⦠angielskiej motoryzacji. ByÃâ to dla nich szok, bowiem nigdy wczeÃâºniej nie widzieli takich samochodów. Po powrocie do Stanów nie zapomnieli o nich, co nie uszÃâo uwadze koncernu General Motors oraz samego Henry'ego Forda. Pierwszy krok zrobili producenci z General Motors. W 1953 roku zadebiutowaÃâ Chevrolet Corvette. Corvette byÃâ wyposaüony w sÃâaby silnik V6 - co ciekawe, byÃâo to auto sportowe. Jednak to poÃâÃâ¦czenie okazaÃâo siÃ⢠niewypaÃâem. Wtedy Ford postanowiÃâ skonstruowaÃâ¡ konkurencyjny model.


 




RozpoczÃâ¢cie prac nad modelem...


 




Prace nad Fordem Thunderbirdem ruszyÃây w lutym 1953 roku. Ten termin wybrano nieprzypadkowo, bowiem miesiÃâ¦c wczeÃâºniej zadebiutowaÃâ Chevrolet Corvette. Ford byÃâ zbudowany w oparciu o solidnÃ⦠ramÃâ¢, znanÃ⦠równieü z innych modeli, jednaküe zostaÃâa trochÃ⢠skrócona. Zadecydowano, üe pod maskÃ⦠spocznie mocniejszy silnik V8. Ford Thundebird wyróüniaÃâ siÃ⢠taküe stylizacjÃ⦠nadwozia - mógÃâ to byÃâ¡ 2-drzwiowy cabriolet, jak i 2-drzwiowe coupe.

A Wy co o nim sÃâ¦dzicie ?

Czas na kolejny temat i opis kolejnego auta.


 




Tym razem celem moich rozwaüaÃâ bÃâ¢dzie Buick Skylark z 1953 roku (w Mafii 2 znany jako Berkley Kingfisher).


 


 


 




OkolicznoÃâºci powstania modelu


 




Jest rok 1953. AmerykaÃâski koncern Buick obchodzi w tym wÃâaÃâºnie roku swoje 50. urodziny. Wtedy to w gÃâowie projektantów zrodziÃâ siÃ⢠pomysÃâ uczczenia tej rocznicy - postanowili zaprojektowaÃâ nowy, luksusowy model o nazwie Skylark. MiaÃâo to byÃâ¡ auto wyjÃâ¦tkowe, bowiem i rocznica byÃâa wyjÃâ¦tkowa.


 




Specyfikacja samochodu


 




Nowy model Buicka zostaÃâ wyposaüony w nowy silnik V8 o kÃâ¦cie rozwarcia cylindrów 90 stopni oraz zaworach umieszczonych nad tÃâokiem - a nie z boku, jak to byÃâo w poprzedniej wersji R8 (stosowanej w latach 50. jeszcze przez wiele koncernów). PojemnoÃâºÃâ¡ silnika V8 wynosiÃâa 5,3 litra, co dawaÃâo mu moc 188 KM. Rozstaw osi tego samochodu wynosiÃâ nieco ponad 3 metry. WaüyÃâ 4315 lb (funtów), co w przeliczeniu na kilogramy dawaÃâo oko?o 1957 kg. Co do wyposaüenia seryjnego samochodu, warto tutaj wspomnieÃâ¡ o hydraulicznym wspomaganiu kierownicy i hamulców, elektrycznie regulowanych siedzeniach, elektrycznie opuszczanych szybach, skÃâadanym dachu oraz wysuwanej antenie. Do tego dochodziÃâa skórzana tapicerka.


 




Charakterystyka popytu


 




Samochód cieszyÃâ siÃ⢠nadspodziewanie wysokim zainteresowaniem wÃâºród spoÃâeczeÃâstwa, co odbyÃâo siÃ⢠na zapotrzebowaniu na ten model. O wysokiej popularnoÃâºci Ãâºwiadczy fakt, üe w samym 1953 roku wyprodukowano 1690 Skylarków, czyli o wiele wiÃâ¢cej, niü konkurencyjnych modeli Fiesta i Eldorado razem wziÃâ¢tych!


 




Dalsze losy modelu Skylark


 




Buick Skylark miaÃâ byÃâ produkowany tylko w 1953 roku, ale na proÃâºbÃ⢠Harleya Earla produkcja byÃâa kontynuowana w roku nastÃâ¢pnym. Jednak jego design zostaÃâ caÃâkowicie zmieniony. Model z 1954 z luksusowej limuzyny zmieniÃâ siÃ⢠w auto bardziej sportowe. Moc silnika zwiÃâ¢kszono do 200 KM. W roku 1954 produkcja zostaÃâa zakoÃâczona - sprzedano 836 sztuk.


 




OsiÃâ¦gi


 




Przyspieszenie 0-60 km/h - 13,6 sekundy




PrÃâ¢dkoÃâºÃâ¡ maksymalna - 103,4 MPH (166 KPH)


 




Ciekawostki


 




-> Nadwozie Skylarka byÃâo wzorowane na wersjach prototypowych - Buicku Le Sabre i XP300




-> Aby jeszcze bardziej zaznaczyÃâ¡ wyjÃâ¦tkowoÃâºÃâ¡ auta, koncern na kierownicy grawerowaÃâ w zÃâocie imiÃ⢠kaüdego wÃâaÃâºciciela




-> ProdukcjÃ⢠modelu Skylark kontynuowano równieü w latach 1961-1972 i 1975-1998

W tym temacie moüemy pisaÃâ¡ na temat swoich ulubionych misji w Mafii 2 (dodatki typu Joe's Adventures i inne równieü wchodzÃ⦠w grÃ⢠" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">).


 


 




Moje trzy ulubione misje to:


 




1. Wróg Publiczny (Enemy Of The State) - podstawowa wersja gry.


 




Bardzo klimatyczna misja, najlepsza czÃâ¢ÃâºÃâ¡ zaczyna siÃ⢠w momencie wykonywania misji w UrzÃâ¢dzie ds. Regulacji Cen (The Office of Price Administration).


 




2. Bombowa Przejaüdüka (Bomb Under The Seat) - dodatek Joe's Adventures.


 




Misja peÃâna napiÃâ¢cia, w której dostarczamy Charliemu trefny samochód, który nasz przyjaciel Giuseppe nabyÃâ od faceta, który chciaÃâ siÃ⢠go szybko pozbyÃâ¡. W tym aucie bowiem zainstalowana jest bomba, która wybuchnie, jeÃâºli zwolnimy poniüej 30 mil/h (48 km/h) na wiÃâ¢cej niü trzy sekundy.


 




3. Spoczywaj W Pokoju, F. Potenza (In Loving Memory Of Francesco Potenza) - podstawowa wersja gry.


 




Misja, w czasie której moüna siÃ⢠odprÃâ¢Ã¼yÃâ¡ w "domu uciech" w Oyster Bay; nie ma strzelania, poÃâºcigów - totalny luz  " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 


 




No - to ja juü powiedziaÃâem, co miaÃâem powiedzieÃâ¡. Teraz czas na opinie innych Uüytkowników.

Hello,


 




I'd like to know if there's a good converter, which will let me to convert AVI file to the GIF animation.


 




It must be freeware (optionally - shareware; but if you give me shareware link, it's needed to attach a license key) and it must support AVI and GIF formats.


 




I tried FF, but with no success - it doesn't support AVI files.


 




I also looked on the net, but with no result - no good found.


 


 




Cheers, everybody  :cool:

Well, just like johncena1 came out with the contests, I will make one, too :cheer:
