New info Free Ride for Mafia II v4.0 (abandoned )

Awesome looking stuff coming in v3.0! :cheer: I like the vid, seems Vito is heavily wanted, lol.

Now that I used a little the SDS tool my self I found what someone else months ago had discovered among the Mafia files. The Scaletta Pizzeria. We can simply imply that Vito was supposed to have his own pizzeria at some point in the game. The dds files show a lot and I will post two images here. Existenz do you think you can do something with the files? like recreating the place…but unfortunately we don’t even know the exact location. ??: [img]//i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd389/expelior/PizzaScaletta.jpg&key=743d3fdb61b582f19bbc822036dceac21e85e53a1674e75b53b48359d378c0ef[/img][img]//i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd389/expelior/Menu-Pictures.jpg&key=f78b4a9741ed4c1a112a9d905532074fbc62f0f945dcba4e059d5e521be0e415[/img]

If you ask me, the whole idea in the story of Vito’s nameless father worked on the port was a after thought on the story, it defnitely appears that Vito’s father in Vavra’s original script showed that his mother and father ran a Pizza joint. I’m not saying it’s cut out or anything like that, maybe the Pizza Joint idea of the story was prob bad rather than a dark story for the father at the port. But it does though look like the initial idea for Vito’s father was that he owned a Pizza joint.Btw see the 3 stars on the menu? that is a high ranked restaurant, if you got 3 stars on your restaurant your not the top-top quality, but your high ranked. I think the ultimate rating is 5 star.

If that is how things were initially planned they must have made huge changes because if you think it out when his family left Sicily they were completely penniless and thus it would have been very difficult to own their own pizzaeria and 3 stars ranked ( you are right 5 stars is the top rank). On the other hand it makes sense that Vito built this pizza place . Besides it was common for gangsters to own restaurants and bars while operating secretly. And if you ask me I would bet all my things that the bars of the 3 bosses had upper quarters as well. Have you seen the locked door behide the Mona lisa Bar? It connects exactly with a locked door in the bar and there are stairs for an upper floor there and in Maltese Falcon too. If you don;t believe me go check illy:you were right about the family pizza joint wiki

much talk on MS.com and no one has found anything.

Oh? Everytime I go there the site is down.

Hey, eXistenZ34, how is everything so far with FR 3.0? From what you’ve shown us thus far, it looks insane, I would love to see the latest and I can also post it on home to show all your fantastic work.Indeed many people talked alot on the MS.Com, but I think the reason why people have found nothing is because no-one can import export models from Mafia II yet, but once we do, we will see whole side of Mafia II that is hidden in those files, I can’t wait to see a import/export tool for Mafia II.

Good job as always existenz.Personally i would not waste anymore time with JA Freeride because it requires its own StreamMap which limits what we can do.M2Ex on the other hand will give you the whole JA map, Jimmy DLC missions and most main game entities. I have been toying around with the Jimmy DLC streamaps and can confirm they all work in M2Ex. In order to spawn enemies from let say “fr_boss_port_load” you have to move the corresponding files (fr_boss_port.sds, fr_boss_port_data.sds) from PC/sds/script to JA/sds/script.Most of the main game StreamMap entities work to but some map areas are glitched like the Chinese restaurant for example. I have been trying to find a way to fix that. I will let you know if i manage to fix it.Anyways enough talking, here’s a mission existenz posted in another thread but i utilized a different StreamMap to also enable Joe and Henry as bodyguards.[img]/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=width=400&key=7abcbac69b01ff6228e0b54517c409a5de0b401e4057ae823186221d1e0e925b[/img]http://i52.tinypic.com/wv5ssi.png[/img]

Hi Tommy Glad to see you here.For Chinese restaurant, Derek hangar ….. The problem is file city_univers.sdswith FR M2Ex using file city_univers.sds of JA, This allows us to have- Dam road – Villa Hillwood- Kingston Station- Cathouse- ………but we lost- Chinesse rest- Derek Hangar- Distillery- Seatgif- ……..For test use file city_univers.sds of JA in M2 & you have Villa hillwood in FR M2.I see your work advance..PS:what StreamMap you used to have Joe and Henry also as bodyguards with Mansion enemies.PS2: I’ve been away one week, FR JA v2.0 in a few days, later this weekend.after i work on FR M2 v3.0

Hey existen,I will work on editing the city_univers.sds.The StreamMap for Joe and Henry is “12_joe_henry_load” and “12_joe_henry_unload”There are 27 enemy entities.GangOut1a (a-e)GangOut2a (a-e)GangOut3a (a-e)GangOut4a (a-e)GangBackUp1 (1-7)

Found out some more interesting things while playing around with the StreamMaps from Jimmy’s DLC.We can load all vehicles from the dealership missions, that’s a total of 38 vehicles. 😎 I will be posting a video of this soon.Here’s the waybar[img]/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=width=400&key=7abcbac69b01ff6228e0b54517c409a5de0b401e4057ae823186221d1e0e925b[/img]http://i52.tinypic.com/2hhixwn.png[/img]

Nice find, I honestly would love it if FR M2 3.0 featured in-dealer car purchases. Of course… no pressure to do so, just something that and I am sure many others would love to see in-game.
