:'(    sad.


 




Hope you can sort this out as best as possible.


 




It's a single-horse race, no one else can win, so start the path and just run till the victory,




because this is NOT the end, but the BEGINNING of the HEALING.


 




Win for us, crazypreacher.   <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">

Mr Robville's Mods / The Titanic Mod
November 14, 2012, 08:03:09 PM
I googled around to find some titanic's photos, and i must admit, I'm just amazed.




I started to find the word "mod" reductive      




It's clearly a passion-driven work, the fidelity with historical photos is stunning, hats off   <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">

<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">   What i want from M3 ?


 




eeeh (long breath)


 




So let's unleash my 2 cents. All this is not in any particular order, and the numbering




from 1 to 5 it's not a rating, it's just to keep adherence to the topic's title, and since




my toughts are somewhat delirious, below each voice there is a little explanation.


 


 




1 Updated game engine


 




I wonder no one has said a word on graphics, maybe is a quite obvious subject, but i want




M3 to be capable of striking impact, with astonishing graphics and physics performance.




Tessellation, advanced anti-aliasing and a shading with real ambient occlusion;




Interacting particle system: For instance, rain drops will not simply fall, they gather




over surfaces creating a wet, dripping layer influenced by footsteps and wheels with




splashes and so on. I also want a configurable interface where you can choose on-screen




items and how they appear: map, speedo, ammo counter and other objects are all switchable




on/off, and also capable of being semi transparent over game screen. All this via user-set




preferences in the interface menu.


 




2 The REALLY free ride    


 




Granted there should be no cutted content, player is allowed to reach, enter, climb, every




square feet of the map.




I also want to be able to escape/chase both enemy/police in every way all around the




environment: fire stairs, roofs, buildings, fences,  the lot, with the eventual need of




tools to break-in, or safecracking.




Obviously while being able to fire from every point you will reach, no matter the place.




And no checkpoints, either: you saved in the middle of a fight? you respawn exactly there




after loading, in the same circumstance/place/task you previously left. The load/save menu




has no longer slots: it simply shows the file list with an icon, where the icon's image is




a screenshot of the action saved, so you visually recognize which and what each file is,




even after many days.


 


 




3 Responsible marketing


 




Sorry to fuel the same fire again, but as a matter of facts, 2K's way of business has upset




lots of people.




NOT AGAIN, please.




I also want to spend a word on Vavra. I'm with him, and hope he will be back, but i'm also




ready to a non-Vavra M3. In short, MAKE IT GOOD, and i will buy it.


 


 




4 Don't trash M2 Inheritance


 




To be honest, M2 hasn't reached the same success of the first one. But i don't want to




use this argument to fall in the superficial, common "M2 is evil" rant. Actually, i find




some of its ideas to be good, like the music with the in-game radio, the playboys and




the wanted posters collectibles, and the really cool painted artworks.




I also like the score system in jimmy's dlc and want it expanded with perks and specific




achievements, let's say unlockable side-quests for already done missions, making replay




more attractive.


 




5 The "Lost Heaven reloaded" hidden feature


 




When M3 ends, the "Lost Heaven reloaded" is unlocked. It's the first mafia ported inside




the new game engine, with the original characters, places, map and storyline, but it's now




made with the current M3 technology and sports updated graphics, physics, motion-capture




quality animations and facial expressions. Obviously many people already know it, and the




story is spoiled for them, but despite this, i believe most enthusiasts will still enjoy




it, and perhaps, some of them will want M3 just for this, which is indeed the ultimate M1.


 




Uh, well, let's face it... i write this post without any knownledge about feasibility or cost.




So all this stuff may be just a dream i (we) never see.




But i believe we need to dream to push reality ongoing: back in the days someone wanted to




play his mp3s everywhere, but such a device seemed hard if not impossible, until he created




the ipod, and nothing has been the same. So wish with me, maybe someone is listening us  <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">

Mafia II mods / Lua Injector on Mafia 2 Help?!
October 12, 2012, 05:20:47 AM
hi cragclancey25  <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">




I think people may need more detailed info to help you better.  <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">


 




The problem is in freeride only and the injector works in the game? Which is your version of windows, and is it 64bits?




Is your antivirus allowing it? is it running with administrator rights? Do you have steam, and is steam running while you game?




In case you have windows vista or windows 7, is UAC active? (User Account Control prevents on-the-fly memory overwriting)




lua keys are binded in textfile? which version of the injector are you running?




(v.7 has known issues, and both v.6 and v.7 are quite prone to crash)


 




Sorry if you have already checked all this , it's just a common list of things to ensure proper operation.    


 




Over the forum there are more expert people, i'm not so good, just have had troubles myself with injectors.   :'(  




so my recommendation is to wait for a more competent advice,  and have a little patience

Hi people  <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">


 




I managed to got it working, but no good news.


 




As crazypreacher wrote in his post, vitoa1.sds is in sds/shops, not in sds/city as stated in instructions.


 




Nevertheless, i decided to follow the instructions, and placed the damn file in sds/city, just in case the author is smarter than me.  <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">


 




Nothing unusual has happended in game.  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/sad.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 




So, before deleting, i choose to try in sds/shops, and bang, the apartment has shown up, but




don't be happy, the thing is a little...  uh ..   let me say messed-up  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 




What i got is a strange looking blue furniture in marty's apartment, including a strange garage too  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 







 




Greenfield villa, Uptown apartment and Joe's flat are unchanged.


 




In the end, if you want to give it a go, just replace vitoa1.sds in sds/shops folder.


 




As always should be done, i strongly recommend to keep a copy of your original file.

It depends on which version of the game you are running.




As far as i know, only early retail version (single dvd localized) is the only one affected by this.




It has been sold in europe only, those with US and steam does not need this stuff, and can




simply delete the videos.   <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">

hi Cole Phelps <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">


 




Yes, i started changing the logos, and i ended up with this till now. I'm pretty done with the looks,




but it is still in the works about driving behavior.


 




I don't want to turn it into a racing thing, but i like the "simulation" driving mode (you can choose it in the options) which in my view makes the vehicles more fun to drive, but the milk van is really too slow and has a bouncy, gummy-dumby feeling.


 




Unfortunately, like most things in mafia 2, vehicle tables editing isn't that much documented, so




i'm blindly poking values in a try & see approach, which admittedly isn't brilliant.  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

Go to city port, drive the car to the platform as usual, and step out of the car. Place yourself




at explosion-safe distance, but without getting too far, otherwise the crane will start to lift




up the platform.


 




If you trigger the crane, the trick won't work. <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/sad.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">




I suggest to stay aside between the ship and the car. <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">


 




Shoot the fuel cap until the car explodes, (remington rifle works quite well in this) and run away from the platform.


 




As expected, game will advice "Good car, but it's too damaged for export", but instead of rejecting




it takes the car and gives you the cash! <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">


 




If you look up while the crane is pulling up, you can see the smoke and the car still burning.
