Yeah I lost my saved games with this mod after the one time when I got into the observatory so now I copy and save the save game folder.

Lol, yes I noticed that some of the map icons are in Russian. It works great but I really want to know how to get into the places listed. Also is there a mod for opening some of the roads such as the one by the dam.

I have freeride 2.2 that shows new places to open but no idea how. Here is the instructions for freeride 2.2, a bit sparse.


 




"Mafia 2 Freeride 2.2


 




Instruction: Simply replace the "pc"




"Mafia 2" folder.


 


 




-typography




-Foundry




-Villa Vito on the rock




-Hotel




-slaughterhouse




-construction




-supermarket




-Observatory




-You can use the weapons in the House"


 




Ok, as you can see looks good but what and how? I tried the Observatory and at the main door you fall through the floor and float in space but at the back door you hit a trigger and end up in a couple cut scenes and some fighting that gets you into the place. Then it gets more involved and after some shootouts come rolling credits like the game is over, would be interesting to know what part that is from.

Got it sorted, had the wrong sds tool. All good now.

Thanks Mike, great to find this site and get back into this again.


 




Here is what I have from the greaser player file.


 







 




This image is the one I edited and the first texture on the list and I think it was a 512 texture.


 







 




The 2nd texture is the spec map and this is the 3rd texture that I assume is the bumpmap?


 







 




The 4th texture is a shadow map? It is only light and dark with no detail.




The rest are glass dds

Here is something interesting, you can see the logo I put on the back of the jacket in the mirror but not on the guy.


 

I hope this is still being worked on. I would really like to use Metro Motors and even drive the bus for once.

Great job! I have been following this work for some time now and it just gets better and better. This is monumental and I am sure the Titanic will become a game all by itself. I could spend many hours just roaming the decks.

I did this before a couple years ago but lost all and forgot exactly how I did it. I want to replace the leather biker jacket in the dlc greaser file.


 




I have RIcks tools but the decompreser and decrypter never worked for me but I have done it with just the ExploreSDS tool. I can open the sds file and find the texture and save that texture to the desktop, then I use DXTBMP to open it and send it to my paint shop pro program. I can change it orÃâà paint it or add names an such and then save and reopen the saved file back in DXTBMP. I then save that file as it was, DDS1. I can then put it back into the ExploreSDS tool and save archive to the original file. Nothing changes even though I can open the original texture file and it shows all changes. Am I saving in the wrong format? I tried DDS5 and it saved but the texture was scrambled in the game.

Thanks for keeping this thing alive. I just found this site and after the loss of the other modding site thisÃâà is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I am painting the interiors of some cars to make them look better. There are two identical textures for the interior, Waybar and Waybar_z, I found I need to only paint the standard and not the Z texture but what is the Z texture for?

Just found this mod and use it with eXistenZ34 v2. You can climb in the passenger seat of any car and ride along and if you are using it with v2 you can option that car and chose first person view for a real interesting experience. It is a bit boring but you can get out at any stop and grab another one. I do wish you could get the driver to follow a mapped waypoint as that would be perfect.

Just got this on the Steam sale and no matter how much tweaking I do in the Nvidia driver console I get lots of moire or wiggly lines and textures on movement such as driving. Is the anyone that has a fix for this or any advice on getting the best quality graphics out of this game?

I would love to have a first person driving view added.

Just installed Mafia II on new pc and ran it. It runs great but I wanted the FR JA v30 mod so downloaded it but found I need the no cd exec. I downloaded that and replaced my exec with that one. It does not work and states because I am missing certain dll's such as binkw32.dll and APEX_release.dll and maybe more to come. This no cd exec worked for me before with my other Mafia II install so why not now?
