existenZ34

Can you implement melee weapons into FR 3.0? I think that it is possible to make that melee weapons be showed in the inventory…What do you think?

in the inventory, It is no longer possible since update 1.

we need C + + programmer to modify mafia2.exe

we’ll find alternative solution, but it does not look as good as the original.

for expert

I need all the known HumanMessage

Is it possible, to play the Steam version in the first version? Include in the download the original game patch, and modify the files on top, or is that not possible at all? Thanks though eXistenZ34 for sharing the information.

My, my, what a mayhem <img decoding= ” data-emoticon=”” srcset=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x” width=”20″ height=”20″>

Everybody, listen. While this little discovery looks and plays nice, it is still miles away from full emulation of melee weapon mechanics, which were once present in the game. No need to praise me that much. Praise me all you want after I deliver something worth it.

Now for something interesting regarding GDS 2009 video:

I carefully watched once again the infamous GDS 2009 demo, part where melee weapon is being used in combat (guard with baton). For me it seems to that even 2K Czech used some sort for workaround for melee weapons at that time. Several playthroughs of that mission exist, yet in none of them is shown one (for us) crucial feature: ability to PICK UP THE BATON and use it against the guard. Now why not to present such a feature to the press, media and public, when the demo was basically stuffed with demonstrations of as much gameplay mechanics as possible?

My answer is: simply because the baton was faked somehow and it was not possible to pick it up.

Important question is: are we able to go even further then devs themselves?

And here we go with reactions & replies:

Meaning of values in LUA command ModelToHands:

ModelToHands(visible true/false, left hand weapon_ID, right hand weapon_ID)

If “-1” is for either left or right hand item, said hand remains empty. Weapon IDs are inside “tables.sds” file, in “table0_bin”, in a table which is named “Weapons.tbl”.

I am working with Czech Special Extended Edition version of Mafia II. That means I run latest patches which remove some JA DLC content (Rocco’s hotel, Printery) and disable some stuff. But that ensures these mods are playable even with official Steam Mafia II.

There is no way to play Steam Mafia II basic version. I tried, but Steam forces update. You can cancel the update, but Steam then disables the game (you cannot play it) and shows you warning that the game needs to be updated for your convenience before you can run it.

Also Mike, ROTH mod will be updated only if I gain access and knowledge large enough to modify and rescript storyline missions.

EN:

No idea what you are talking about. I cannot rule it completely out, but I firmly doubt in this case (ModelToHands used) engine automatically picks AnimSets based on a weapon model in character’s hand. ModelToHands only makes a selected model show in a selected hand, nothing more. AnimSet is changed via SetAnimStyle command.

I will help you as soon as I get back to modding PC. For starters: CLOSE_COMBAT_START and CLOSE_COMBAT_STOP do not work the way it seems they should, at least that is conclusion of my experiements <img decoding= ” data-emoticon=”” srcset=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x” width=”20″ height=”20″> . But since 2K used them (Butcher brawl, Eric brawl), they should be working. That means there’s probably some trick behind their use.

Thank you for the nice reply’s, and that is weird as it appears you have proof that it was all forged in the video’s upon the use of the baton in the GDS 09, I would honestly love it if we could go farther than the dev’s but I guess time will tell, I wish you the best Andrashi and thank you so, so, so much for your hard efforts. You keep making Mafia II’s gameplay so much better.

I look forward to seeing another ROTH, your first ROTH mod is incredible, just the only problem is as I always say, the camera while walking is a pain, but I love the camera in cover.

You have a backup of the Wiki (LUA commands) of Mafia-Empire, I regret very much not to have copied.

I have it of “Mafiascene.com” (IMG format), but it is far less comprehensive and detailed.

Test melee weapons NÃâÃÂ°2

Problem, have to try resolve “SetDamageMultiplier”

and also when we started a fight, If you change weapon civilian panic and crouched.

MafiaEmpire wiki is a good touch, but we need something more complete. I am currently working on a list of HumanMessages enumerations as you requested, it should be done today or tomorrow.

SetDamageMultiplier does not work on player, because player character does not use melee archetype from civilian.xml in “tables.sds”. Well to be correct it uses, but it takes only melee animset from it. Damage dealt by player character is set in human2config.xml in “ingame.sds”. Blame 2K for this mess 😆 .

Another issue you mention is simply something we will have to put up with. “Prazdne ruce” (empty hands) is the one and only weapon capable of entering a melee duel. Any other weapon breaks melee duel. I guess you are using “squeegee” item as a trigger to change faked melee weapon in hands. Well that will also break melee duel and currently I have no workaround up my sleeve. Will try some luck with HEXstuff, snooping in human_items.tbl file.

BTW we are yet to tackle another issue – what if we want melee weapons to be changed dynamically in a fight? On NPC side there are no problems, but player character has to be something diferent again and does not adjust animset immediately but has to go outside of close combat, switch animsets, enter close combat again. Now that will be something to solve…

For now a good way to change melee weapons is using keybinds with the injector.

example

F12

bindKey ("I","game.game:GetActivePlayer():SetAnimStyle("melee","KnifeStyle")game.game:GetActivePlayer():ModelToHands(true,-1,22)")



bindKey ("J","game.game:GetActivePlayer():SetAnimStyle("melee","PolBatStyle")game.game:GetActivePlayer():ModelToHands(true,-1,28)")
