Oh, I am so tired to write english correctly, so sorry guys...




djbozkosz, please tell, where in scene2.bin are defined car driver models? Where is defined, that policecar is always driven by firemen, gangsters car by gangsters....?




I did a one experiment, I've added cad_road and it was always driven by men in hat, OK. But I've added to traffic my own car (totally new car, adder by mafia car adder) and it was always driven by old lady in pink suit. How should I define driver model?

Am I the only one, who use mobile phone for telephony, SMS, sometimes MP3 player, camera or LED-light, insted of using it as a metro-sexual, ego-masturbating tool?  <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">  (Regards for Apple users)

But this topic is in Mafia2 mods, but I didn't noticed it.

Oh, I thought you mean firs Mafia, sorry  

Did you tried frm_seton?

"Smartphones" are dumb for me, becuse they broke very easily. They are like they were created from paper... And I also don't want Apple/Google to watch my every single step...  ><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 I prefer almost unbreakable Sony Ericsson k700i  <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">

Wait, when you must keep file lenght, you cannot add/remove more cars, you can only modify parameters of existing cars?

Yes  <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">

Few hints: While importing OBJ file to 3DSmax, set SCALE on 0,0264. Map will have the right size.




You cannot create lightmaps and face collisions on these models properly in MWE. It's cause by very-tiny polygons, which aren't necessary (they are so tiny, that we can't even see them in result), but they are part of the model and causes editor crash.




So the solution is to:




Open model in Zmodeler, turn on Faces level, select faces that are necessary part of model and detach them from redundant faces. Then, everything will go correctly. My model was from 40% created by this tiny faces!

You don't need to extract files. You only need to run Mafia Data extractor once to overwrite rw_data.dll.




Then, if file is in folder, Mafia use that file. If dou't, it just load file from DTA file. Don't be afraid, if you delete file, Mafia just load it's default file.

Yeah, it's non-sense that original draw distance is set too close.

I've tried to add ENB series to GTA:SA, more reflections and transparent water looks great! But I really don't like bullshits like motion blur, bloom effects, overcontrasted image etc. These things making graphics even less realistic.




Unfortunatelly, when you try to run ENB series under Mafia, you will only get overcontrasted image and motion blur...

Water shader mod, unlimited draw distance and better textures... this is what Mafia need to looks great!

Just a one little thing, you can also change ped/car definition in DCED. I know, many people hate DCED, 'cause it can also damage whole scene, but I think that hex editor is more dangerous then using DCED  <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">

Zmodeler 1.07




Material editor, change material type to color key and set the transparent color. That's all. If you want to make semi-transparent objekt, change objetct to Glowing-Standard alfa glow transparency.

Hereare some videos in Russian, but it totally worth to watch it.
