Mod Help / Editing load.def and sky textures?
May 01, 2012, 02:54:53 PM
Hi guys! I'd like to ask, how do I edit load.def? I'm already working on my modification, where you are able to visit game locations. And a second question, is it possible to define used sky files or sky style?

Hi there!




I'm trying to be an active member, so you noticed me here for sure  " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">




So let me tell you something about me. My name is MatÃÆúÃâ¦Ã¡, I come from Slovakia and I am about 20 years old. I first played Mafia in 2003 and it became... well, not just my favourite game. It became part of my life! I started modyfiing and deeply exploring it in 2005. By deeply exploring, I mean exploring every mission file with Capone, reading every single script with DCED etc. So it't a little surprise, that I don't make any playable mod yet. But I'm now hardly working on one  " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">




Instead Mafia, I really like computers in common, also I'm doing DIY electrical things and I really like cars and vehicles. Drive, repair, modify, talk about it  " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">




Well, you are such a great comunitty, I am really glad, that I'm here  " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

Hi guys! I solved problem with Mafia World editor. If you try to run it on Intel GMA (most netbooks and older laptops), you will get "Unable to create D3D device" error message. Installing latest GPU drivers or DirectX is not solution. To make MWE to run on your PC, download 3D Analyze software. You can esasilly find link by Googling it. I am using v2.36b.


 




When you have 3D Anylze installed, click on SELECT and pick editor.exe file.




There are lots of checkboxes there, make sure that only "emulate HW TnL caps" is ticked.




Click on RUN and editor should run now.


 




If you want, you can "play" with settings to make editor run smooth. Howewer the framerate is low, it's enough to edit Mafia when you are "in terrain".


 




Maybe there's an easier way to make MWE run on Intel GMA, this works well for me on Acer Aspire One ZG5 under Windows XP.

Well hello there!




I was studying and finding out, how lightmaps in Mafia works and well, I do some progress, in latest version of MWE, you can easilly do anything with them. I am now, for example, able to turn daytime to evening.




But now I want to do something harder. Correct me, if I get something wrong. As we know, Mafia uses pre rendered lightmaps, because it's lights and shadows are not fully dynamic. Instead of that, you can define lightmaps levels (layers). For each lightmap, you can create one layer, then for example delete lights and create another level. In game, you can switch between them by script. Used in Villa mission, where you were able to turn the ligts on and off by switches. That's how I get it, that's how I understood from reading all of Villa mission scripts.


 




So, I picked Farm mission, "turned off the lights" in DCED, created lightmaps in LEVEL 0 with lights off. In game, ligts weren't shining and lightmaps were dark. Then I used DC-ED to turn on the lights, created lightmaps under level 1. I noticed, that MWE shows only level 0 in 3D view and it's not possible to change it, howewer this have no infulence on level 1. So when I started the game and all the lights were on, game was rendering level 1.


 




So I opened the Villa mission in DCED and looked on scripts. In Villa misiion, lightmaps level are controlled by SETLMLEVEL x, y ... X represents number from findframe and y represents level number.


 




So I tried to add script




findframe 1,"Box12"




setlmlevel 1, 0


 




And nothing happened. I tried it on every object and sector (in Villa, setlmlevel is applied to both object and sectors and works well)




My question is: WTF I'm doing wrong?

General, Off Topic / Why Mafia community is dying
May 04, 2012, 11:33:23 PM
Howewer Mafia 2 is ... well not bad game, but that's not what we expected. Mafia 2 is 2K product.




But Mafia Lost Heaven is still alive, maybe it's not popular like 5 years ago, but it's still attractive for modders. Today, it's not hard to do anything in that. It's maybe true about that people leaving, but on the other hand, new people still can come. For example me, I'm very glad, that I joined this comunnity. We had one in common, our love to Illusion Sofworks pearl - Mafia. And that's important for me  " data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  To keep it alive.




BTW: Howewer PC games graphics and technical site is going forward in furious tempo, they will never have something like it's own soul... On Mafia is obvious, that it arised with love and passion from it's creators.
