How to mod Mafia II?
I want to make a mod, but I simply don’t know how. I understand I have to use Rick’s Tools as this opens SDS files (I’m not entirely sure what an SDS file is, but it seems like a compression of files) and the SDS files contain textures, scripts, tables etc. However, I do not know what files to edit or how to edit them.
The mod I would like to make would allow players to purchase cars from the Diamond Motors shop. I do not initially intend on anything complex or finely detailed. Here is a bit of pseudo code to further explain this idea:
Player is within AREA -> Show message(“Press E to purchase a car”) -> If Player presses E, show MENU -> Player selects a car -> if player has enough money -> money is decreased, car is spawned
-> if player does not have enough money -> show message (“You do not have enough money.”)
Key:
AREA = Close proximity of Diamond Motors building entrance
MENU = A list of all the cars available for purchase and their price next to them. W and S keys to scroll up and down, E to purchase
So yeah, any tutorials, tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I do not have any experience in modding besides a couple of tweaks in Oblivion.
Wow. You have plans for something big. I think that a simple “tutorial” won’t be enough. Why don’t you start with some simple stuff to learn how to use tools? Like modifying freeride script or tables.sds
Oh ok thanks, I did not realise the scale of this task. I’m not quite sure what you mean by “freeride script or tables.sds”, so can I ask that you set me a specific task and if necessary tell me where to begin? Thanks for the reply
EDIT: My bad, I found the tables.sds. Having a look at it now…
One does not simply modify Mafia II 😎
Use Rick’s Tools for exploring and editing tables.sds and ingame.sds
Tosyk wrote a tutorial about extracting models from Mafia II. Here.

I have many things to say, but I do not speak English. I use a translator and then I do not really have time.
test buying car 07-22-2011 or cigarettes, apartment, newspaper, lunch in a bar.
Script Car Entity
but the big problem is the file size limit “freeraid_main.sds” or “dlc_freeraid_main.sds”
it’s not that we lack ideas, but of the place in the script to write.
in FR JA v3.0 I only have it 0.4Ko of free on 16.1ko, FR M2 of zahaar has reached its limit 19Ko
After, game crash when you start.

you know how to add textures, I like to know
Thank you for the feedback.
eXisten, it seems you have already beat me to it, and I do not quite understand what to do with the “Script Car Entity”. Are those the commands I would use to edit and manipulate cars? It is also a shame that you do not share everything it is that you have to say

Kirov, thank you for the link but I am not so interested in textures, it’s the coding that interests me. However I will definitely try this when the time arises.
Jaca, I will get straight onto it
