If your computer still has that broken white color on it's casing then I should worry   <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">




Don't worry, all interior rooms will dissapear when the player is far away from them. You'll never notice.

many thanks to the kind comments everyone! I really appreciate it!

Long time no updates here. I got something new to show    :cheer:




A moment ago I finished the model of the 1st class lounge:


 






















 




It took some time to get some decent accuracy to this room, but I'm quite satisfied with the result!




This model now has 163.757 polygons.

Thanks for correcting that!

Mine is obviously the steamboat mission.   <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">




But I think my most memorized moment is at the beginning of the game, after Tommy brought Paulie and Sam to Salieri's bar, and sam walks out in slow motion, making it look like he grabs his gun. and when he finaly reaches Tommy, it's just a envelope with money in it. So classic and cinematic it could have come from a movie!

Maybe after the release of Mafia III we will have a bigger comunity.


 




MIII hasn't been announced yet but it was reported that 2K-Czech participated on developing GTA V in return that Rockstar would help them working on MIII or something like that.


 




Also if someone ever cracks MII's data, I'm sure the modding community will grow a lot faster.




The engine MII uses is perfect for many projects. Hell, I would emedietly port the Titanic mod to it if possible.


 




They already made a exporter for MII's files to 3ds max, so with a bit of hope they will make a reversed one some day.

Thanks!


 




@cole,


 




Do you know a good alternative to megaupload without the registering business?




MU was a great website for these downloads, justice my butt.

Good news! all wall paneling of the lounge is finished!


 

















 




Lighting and shadows in the fireplace are baked so they will be visible ingame.

oh, great thing of you to mention the GB!




I was testing it a while back and completely forgot about it.. Foolish me sometimes  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 




I replied back

Thanks!




I got some good news, Mr F replied to my PM and said it's fine for me to use his mod into the MTM!




Now we'll have to figure out how to make it animated like if the ship is sailing.

Thanks!


 




I just finished some more work on the 1st class lounge. This time I finished both sides of the room with the alcoves.

QuoteI have a 1280x1024 LCD and CPU is only single-core. I know, my PC is maybe little bit "old-fashioned" but it's strong enough for what I want to do and it's built from a "gifts" (old hardware).

BTW: I really like Water Shader Mod for Mafia. What about to including it in your modification?

 




oh my, this is deffinetly what I have been waiting for!


 




almost done:







 




I need to get into contact with MR F to ask him how he made this and if/how I can use it into the Titanic mod.




Though it's adviced to turn Anti Alias down to 2X or none, because if higher, the game's performance really decreases a lot.


 




Awesome mod!


 




About your specs, As far as I know, AMD processors are not well known for games, they are better in the 3D rendering industry. But your ammount of GHZ seems to be ok. Mafia doesn't support multiple cores anyway.




Ofcourse I'm not 100% certain as I never tried any computer like that.




Your GPU card seems too low indeed, with only 265mb. I believe you'll need at least 512mb, but with todays graphics cards, you have a 1GB GPU for little money. Also your RAM could be a problem I think, considering that windows eats like 1GB from it, and other processes are running on the background. 4GB as the minimum is a recomendation. Also Memory doesn't cost much these days.


 




But besides hardware I would recommend running the game using gamebooster, it really helps increasing the frames.


 




@CP




I will do my best to get the atmosphere onboard the ship right. And it seems very possible for me.




In earlier stages of the interior being tested, I played a song "An der scḫ̦nen blauen Donau" from Strauss on the background, and it really set the atmosphere right. It really had this classy feeling throughout the first class corridors and rooms. And thinking of the dirty boiler rooms below deck only increases this feeling.

Thanks for the kind comments!


 




vapno92, can you show me your system specifications?

Thanks!




Here's a new one:


 












 


 




Some more details have been added. These textures take a lot of time to create because of a slight diffrence in each panel, but the result pays off. (see the pilar and the support of the divider wall, same model, diffrent texture)




The Texture for the entrance door is a nice one, I didn't had to do much about it. In fact, it is an actual photo from the same entrance on onlympic's Lounge. This piece of woodwork is still preserved at the White swan hotel in Alnwick, England.


 




For those interested in a little "did you know?" The left upper part of the entrance paneling is the same piece of wood where rose lies on in the 1997 film.

Time for some updates!


 




here's are the first 2 screenshots of the 1st class lounge being made.




Textures are made using photo's from Olympic's Lounge and edit them.
