Well, i meant the only version that is available is a Russian version.

So any or all improvements you have made should definitely be uploaded as an easy to install mod.

Then people will know where to go when they want the best available English version.

A lot of people are not good at editing mod files,so it would be good for lots of Mafia 2 fans if there is an easy to install addon .

edit:

Maybe you could do it with a Bat file which would auto move the joes adventure dlc folder out of the way.

Maybe not ” data-emoticon=”” srcset=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x” width=”20″ height=”20″>

Just a thought.

Quote:

“If anyone else wants the english version LMK I’ll upload it to the downloads section”

If you mean the full mod with the English adjustments that you’ve completed so far,then i think that would be a great idea.

It would make it a darn sight easier for a lot of peeps ,i would download it too,just to have it in one file.

If i haven’t played the game for a while ,i sometimes forget what files go where

when it comes to installing mods.

Thanks m.

I’ll keep an eye out for any bugs and look forward to any new tweaks u make in your mod.

I didn’t realise there was Russian voices ,until they kicked in while playing the mod,it is a shame i suppose.

If they are reused game assets ,it might be possible to just replace them with the English versions.

But some of of them sounded like they were recorded by using Russian modders voices or maybe that’s just what the Russian Mafia 2 sounds like ” data-emoticon=”” srcset=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x” width=”20″ height=”20″>

untouched files of  v1.3.1 update for Empire mod.

http://uploaded.net/file/9edhgr6w







74mb approx.

Maybe Monica is removed in v1.31 or possibly my files are corrupted from too many different mods.

Thanks to your English GUI, i can see missions now from phone in apartment.

I left a message on playground ru asking someone to  post a new link.

I will try to upload mine to uploaded as it’s the only host that works  via my 3g dongle.

It might take a while ,so check back.

I haven’t spent much time using  the Empire Mod until recently and I’m having difficultly understanding where the missions are,i think there is races u can take part in.

Google translator only tells you so much  on the Russian forums + i’m a bit of an old jaded gamer ” data-emoticon=”” srcset=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x” width=”20″ height=”20″>

This is where i found the update:

sidenote:

someone mentioned something about adding a bodyguard in comments section:

http://www.playground.ru/files/mafia_2_empire_bay_v_1_3_by_nemesis7675-77572/

A guy called Jack snow seems to be very active releasing new mods:

Mafia 2 “Free Ride v4.0 by Jack Snow

and

He does a lot of lua scripting ,something i know nothing about to be honest:

http://forums.playground.ru/mafia_2/peremeshchenie_knopki_garaga_chtob_dostat_benzovoz_i_avtobus-841211/

Anyway ,give a bit of time and i’ll try and upload that v1.3.1 73mb file (throttled 3g connection is slow)

P.S..The tools pack+update i mentioned are English ,even though the guy posted them on playground . ru.

Yeah, I know it’s really easy to mod mafia 2 though as I found out a way to decompile the lua files and fiddle around with the codes

Mafia II is my favorite aswell and I love modding and playing it, I’m going to start making really good mods but need some ideas I have a couple in mind such as Police Mod and making Empire Bay a city thats more lively etc..

 

 

Overwrite the files to the gui folder

 

 

Fantastic ,Thanks for the link.

I look forward to playing the mod in English ” data-emoticon=”” srcset=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x” width=”20″ height=”20″>

Sidenote:

There’s some tools over at playgroundDOTru:

mafia_2_self_tools 37mb approx

+ an update Tools_Pack-update 7mb

Though you probably are well aware of the various modding tools.

Thought i’d mention it just in case.

Sometimes at playgroundDOTru ,a file will be posted and then you can find

updates in the comments underneath or the update will posted  be in a completely new topic/thread.

It can be difficult trying to understand via Google translator.

======================================

Translated from Russian:

Added cut from the original girl Vito – Monica. She lives in a villa in Hillwood. Beware, there is Nude))

I went to Vito’s home in Hillwood and i can’t see Monica ,where is she ?  ” data-emoticon=”” srcset=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x” width=”20″ height=”20″>

===============================================

This is what i did to get the mod working before:

I got the empire mod v1.3.1 working with english version.

I made duplicate of two ‘ru’ folders.

1:

dlc_datarussian

copy to: dlc_dataenglish

2:

cnt_empire_baysds_ru

copy to: cnt_empire_baysds_en

P.S..Don’t forget! You have to remove ‘cnt_joes_adventures’ folder from dlc folder.

NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT,but it seemed to work for me.

===============================================

Race location in Empire bay mod:

I had this in my Empire mod folder,

I think it’s for the Empire mod.

This is the best freeride for Mafia II, I can assure you that it outbeats them all I rewrote a english version for myself If you want a copy LMK

 

Yes please ” data-emoticon=”” srcset=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x” width=”20″ height=”20″>

 

I managed to get the mod working a little bit by moving a few files into a ‘en’ folder.

But it crashes sometimes and the writing is in Russian in-game.

Is v.1.3.1 the best/latest version ?

 

 

sidenote:

I have these other mods too:

 

super_mod_full_version.rar 263 MB

---

badyorko_mode_v8.1.rar 146 MB

---

cnt_back_in_business.rar 783 MB  by IVAN144

+ jack snow made some back in business “updates/addons”.

back_in_business_update8.rar 144 MB

back_in_business_update.rar 36.3 MB

IVAN144 said the mod doesn’t need the new “addons” by jack snow.

The problem with some of these mods is “no English” ” data-emoticon=”” srcset=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x” width=”20″ height=”20″>

But some of the Russian modders are very good.

Mafia 2 is one of my favorite games ,i think the game engine is excellent and it runs very well on an old computer.

Anyway if u have an working English version of the Empirebay Mod, i would be very happy to see it,thanks.

Thank you and long live freedom of expression in the world.

 

Merci, et vive la liberté d’expression dans le monde.

I agree

FOLLOW-UP TO ‘STRANGE CAR TOPIC’

Trying to ‘repair’ the car in garage  doesn’t work.

It is down to one of the mods i installed ,though i was hoping someone could save me from having to go through all the mods ,to check.

 

 

I might just have to check through the mods i installed.

It’s just the saves won’t work ,if u remove any dlc folders.

 

i just looked in dlc folder and i have cnt_high speed_cars and one of the files is called smith_coupe_wreck.sds +smith_coupe_wreck_z.sds

I’m will try and remove it and see if it helps.

 

i removed cnt_high speed_cars and the broken car is still there ,luckily i didn’t have to play to much, as it appears in one of the first missions to steal a coupe from the black gang.

I think the one causing the trouble is cnt_spoils_of_war ,it puts the military vehicles in game and one of the vehicles it uses is smith_coupe_wreck.sds +smith_coupe_wreck_z.sds.

So i think it is a badly made mod ,which is trying to shoehorn the war vehicles

into the game.(nice idea,but imperfect)

I was hoping i could check the garage quickly by using the” friends for life” mod ,but no dice.

I can’t face going  through starting another new game to check right now,though I’m pretty sure I’ve found the problem.

 

Thanks .

Does super mod have everything needed to run it.

do i need supermod skin jimmy ?

or a Trainer?

==========================

google ‘ Super Mod by Zahar999 ‘ if link here is dead.

i got it from playgroundDOTru.

I downloaded this friends for life mod a few months ago.

i like to keep all mafia 2 mods stored on dvd.

 

Is it new missions?

is it safe to just keep the english files and delete the other foreign files in the archive?

i saw your super mod on playground.ru.

there is super mod 1(215mb) +super mod v2  (49mb)+super modv3 (58mb)

and there is a yandex link too,for super mod full version.

 

Which one should i download to get the newest  or best version?

do i need all three or just the yandex link.
