I remember the first version very much, Costa quitted the FR because people he said were taking is code and not giving credit, then a month or less later after the Costa FR's dried up, you came with your FR and that is where FR really got good, thank you eXistenZ34 for your continuous hard work on the FR and making Mafia II so much better. Without your FR I am not sure i'd still be playing Mafia II.

I really love to play the game with that light setting, makes it feel so much more real, the night time driving is real eye candy because the city is lighted so nicely, only way to enjoy Empire Bay is to have those light settings, and the light settings also look brilliant while in cutscenes and story levels, it makes everything feel alot more real.

Thanks for doing the search up crazypreacher, but even with the very latest Zmod, there is still no-way to import into Mafia II, we can only export models, but I just read this earlier from Oleg the maker of Zmod...

Quoteall Mafia 3d model files have "animation-ready" model layout; some of them already contain simple animation stored in. In general, it's very hard to load these files until ZModeler has at least some basic animation support. I will surely return to the subject once ZModeler3 is released.

How does everyone fancy the colour settings in comparison of the original default colour settings?

Nice work as always eXistenZ34, I really look forward to playing FR JA v2.1 and FR M2 v3.0, keep up the fantastic work!   <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">

Thank you Cole, I really appreciate your comment.

I am thrilled everyone is loving the progress thus far.   <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">


 




@MetalCat, Well adding the engine is not that hard at all, and it is HIGHLY possible to see it released by end of this month, but of course, I can have it done within 2 weeks I think, just you never know what will go on with Mafia I and the Zmodeler import system, I have asked a friend of mine about it since he knows Zmod up and down and I look forward to his reply and see if we can hook the Delizia in Mafia I and make it entirely drivable.

Check it out, the interior is in the Delizia!


 







 




Next up, I will setup the engine block, axels, trunk space, license plates, and including hinges, then done.

Very interesting post Andrashi, I would agree with it, with all due respect to the other modders of course.


 




Btw, do you plan to edit or create a new ROTH mod? I REALLY love that mod, just the player camera is way too close when walking around, I love the cover system camera.


 




Also my most favourite moment of your mod, is I got approached by a cop, and he asked me for my license! Because I had a gun in my hand, that is just like the GDS 09 video, well done man, well done.

Thanks for the reply, but what I mean is Zmodeler2 and Zmodeler 3, the third Zmodeler is not out yet that I know of, and there is word of a potential Mafia II filter anytime soon.

I appreciate the comments, concerning release date, if we had a Zmod2/3 filter for Mafia II, I could give a definite release date, but I guess the release date is anywhere in next month (February), until then I will update my pictures and work.

How does everyone fancy the latest pictures from the Delizia?


 




Btw, I am planning on exporting the model from blender into Mafia I.  <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">

Well, I didn't actually import any models from the game into blender just yet, I just took the textures from the Delizia_grandeamerica.sds file and created the wheels from scratch and textured them from the cars-universal.sds. Only time I need to import the Delizia from JA DLC is actually my next thing, because I need the interior 3D object, including the windscreen wipers and the license plate. I am not sure at all how to export the Delizia from the JA DLC but if you know, please do tell me.

NEW PICS! I have spent quite awhile setting up normal maps, dirt layer maps, including base specular maps, and learning a few things here or there, and the photo's show from what I believe, is to how the car would look if it was imported into the game...
