Well I am pretty new to this MAFIA II game, the good part is that I got it for 6âââ¬Å¡Ã¬


 




I am already around this forum for a few weeks, but I did not introduced myself yet.




So I have got the full game, steam version, I started to play it, and gosh I found that the immersion achieved 'city life wise' is very good and probably the best I have seen.




So I decided to try to have a look at its modding possibilities, to had to this game what I could, with my near to zero knowledge of Lua,




(I am not a programmer but I can pretty well understand what a program is doing by reading its code whatever its language,... which is a good start)




I'll have to say thx Existenz34 for sharing some infos and excellent free ride.( I thx as well this site obviously  " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  )


 




Gosh it's annoying not to be able to get into a bus, have a taxi ride or seat where you want ...




So that is going to be what I 'll  aim for with my 'Lu a bilities' for this game.


 




-Taxi ride




-Bus ride




-Seat anywhere with the good animation automatically detected


 




Here is in the correct order, what I am interested in.


 




Oh, I forgot, I am french (in case you did not notice ...) and I already started to wander my way around the taxi part, I have to say that Empire Bay taxi drivers must all be Italian regarding the way they drive ... (which is  normal I suppose for a mafia game  " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  )




But if they do not necessarily take the shortest way to my destination (unless they are more intelligent than I tough, and  are simply trying to grow the bill for the fare  " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  ) they at least bring me to the right place I want go and stop my there.


 




I start my script from the injector for now so i need to do more work on this at the moment




as well as many things that can interfere during the journey, accident, police interaction, car stuck ... etc, that needs to be look at...


 




I 'll try to make a video, but I need hdd space, so won't be soon, but I 'll do my best




so here we go, I'll see you around this website   " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

IS it worth to mod Mafia II Taxi


 




A real working taxi ride, with a driver that bring you where you asked him to go,




and have to pay for it.Is what I mean by Taxi Ride (as I have seen many fake video around.)


 




Now, my point is to know who will be interested by having Mafia II real working Taxi ?




I am actually working on it, and just to know if it is worth for me to do a proper mod or shall I just




go injector version of it


 




The outcoming of that question will radically change the way I'll do the code and finalization of it.


 




So if possible to do,Anybody interested in a Taxi Mod for Mafia II or not ?




thanx for answering so I know what to do, or if you have information of what as already been




achieved in mafia 2 regarding taxi.

Edited: So well regarding the answers I'll go for a 'mod' or whatever I can achieve with it   :s ide:

Postmortem: Mafia II




Jarek Kolar (2K Czech)


 




After the success of the original Mafia in 2002, the development team wanted to make a sequel of the game in a fast and efficient way. In the end, the development of the sequel was neither quick nor easy. This session is a postmortem on the eight years of Mafia II development - from inception to its release in 2010. Kolar will talk about the pitfalls of developing a sequel of a critically acclaimed hit and how the expectation and ambitions can damage a project. Also, learn how the local development team, Illusion Softworks, changed into the premium international development house 2K Czech.

'expectation and ambitions can damage a project...' so now we know they really don't understand that they are the ones that 'killed' it, lol
