Yea man I realize that's a lot of work. I was just suggesting a path you could take. I really liked the first Capoletti Mod. Might you quess why? It was not really anything special. A lot of map bugs, few NPC's speeches, few routine missions and that's it. But I really liked it. I still play it from time to time actually. Because unlike most games/other mods this one provided unique...I would also add "old school" experience where games take a little bit of imagination. Remember old school RP games like Ultima series and other sandbox (or rather "complete-it-as-you-can") games of 80s? There had little to no graphics, little speech, primitive sounds, but some of them made you think you're actually interacting with a quite realistic world. It's like reading a book. Same with Matteo's Capoletti mod. It has little to show (compared to a really nice mods like LA Cosa Nostra or The Commission Mod etc.) but it has a very unique atmosphere and makes you feel (well, at least me) like you're watching a short, but very good movie about a crime family. When I play Nico it seems like I am a high ranked member of the underworld society rather than just a soldier like Thommy Angelo (even though all what I do is all about dodging bullets, but oh well at least I have some bodyguards hehe). Capoletti 2 (if you happen to finish everything you want in which I wish you a good luck Matteo) should be just a masterpiece in the field of Mafia I mods.


 




Highly organized crime family does not end with only killing a Don..there are always members to control its business and this is the difference between the Family and just a random gang, which could be elliminated easily (that's what the Godfather was doing during The Pacificationn of NYC).


 




PSS So is Maranella behind the drugs in Lost Heaven and Picolli just his puppet then?  <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">

Okay Onto the next thing, this is not a mission, just something I wanted to do. I wanted to make the Capoletti a Nice Night Club/ Social Club I wanted to evoke the Musical "Chicago" feel of the night club


 




So  The Chicago Club -  The Bare Bones Beginning


 




This is the basic layout of the ground floor


 




The first floor is dominated by the stage and orchestra pit  (and of course bars and tables and all sorts of things)

Looks brill so far Matteo, if you need any model help, please ask.   <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">

Looks great Matteo. Just be cautious about the whorehouse (in case you want to add this "feature" to your club). Remember, Godfather had moral values and he was against prostitution.

Ohh btw Matteo. You shoudl definately add some secret apartaments to Capoletti Italian Quarter for your war needs. Just like in Godfather the family was "going to the mattresses" during the war so that soldiers and other members could have secret bases. You can also add some mission storyline to this (like somebody snitching the apartaments to other family members etc.). Just an idea.

Was He?


 




Don Corleone: When âââ‰â¬Å when did I ever refuse an accommodation? All of you know me here. When did I ever refuse, except one time? And why? Because I believe this drug business is gonna destroy us in the years to come. I mean, it's not like gambling or liquor, even women, which is something that most people want nowadays and it's forbidden to them âââ‰â¬Å by the pezzonovantes in the church. Even the police departments have helped us in the past with gambling and other things. They're gonna refuse to help us when it comes to narcotics. And I believed that then, and I believe that now.


 


 




But thanks for the encouragement BK

Here's a quote from the novel:


 




"Don Corleone smiled. âââ¬ÃâHow do I know until I hear the percentages and other details? Besides I have to have time to think over the advice given here tonight. After all, Iâââ‰â¢m not a man who does things rashly.âââ¬

Movie s like 0.5 % of the novel. Of course novel! Plus film does not say Corleone ran whorehouses. But wow...of course novel is much better   <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">

Thanks buddy. I got the floor tile, from on online picture of an actual floor tile being sold.  Used the picture on the internet.  Same with the green stage curtains. This game is amazing, you can take stuff from real life and fold it into the game.

Any news about the mod, Matteo ?

Are you going to replace music in the city or not ? :cheer:


 




One more thing - do you have 4ds and bmp files for that white truck ? I'm asking because I want to install this one before the mod comes out.
