Mod Help / Adding new radio stations?
September 08, 2011, 12:18:35 PM
So I managed to add a new station entry in Mafia II, but the problem is that there seems to be a hardcoded limit to the number of songs one can shove ingame. As much as I'm happy with replacing songs with new ones, I'd like to know as to whether this can be possible.Oh, and btw, the song and station entries can be seen in tables.sds > tables/Radio/RadioCueDb and tables.sds > tables/Radio/Stations, using Gibbed's SDS Explorer.

Hmm, did this out of boredom, and since Frankie's sweater ingame looked kinda' like the one Kit wore in the Kit Kittredge movie, I decided to do a little something special.Works with eXistenZ34's Joe's Adventures Freeride mod if you want to play as her, and may work in the base game, too. Just copy the sds file to dlcs/cnt_joes_adventures/sds/player (if you want to try it out on the DLC mod) or in pc/sds/hchar.DOWNLOAD:<pre class="ipsCode">http://www.mediafire.com/?pk3wg4zg30xkpcv</pre>

General, Off Topic / Mafia II dubs.
September 15, 2011, 10:13:20 AM
Well, since no one thought of doing the same stuff as with TF2 dubs, I decided to make these:

Mafia General Discussion / A song I wrote about Mafia II.
November 23, 2011, 05:16:08 AM
I did this back in September of 2010, upon hearing all about the backlash concerning the game. Thought that setting it to the tune of a Shirley Temple song seemed to suit things, so here it is:


 




Shirley Temple - Come and Get Your Happiness


 




Why are many gamers' faces




Frown a lot like they got screwed




Money money that's what 2K wants




And milks like crazy loons




Of course they made a big mistake




Wealth and greediness, that sucks




And all them download packs cost bucks


 




There's millions worth of angry players




And megabytes of cut content




This game's short of real success




Mafia 2's a horrid mess.


 




There's billions worth of good ideas




But most of them were scrapped, I guess




It should sell for more than less




Mafia 2's a horrid mess.


 




I felt they robbed me of my hard-earned money




My game lacked blood and grass




There's loads of glitches and some blur in places




At least they never asked for added tax


 




Why would they just cut free-roaming?




And fool a lot of folks and press




So Don Salieri's depressed




'Cause Mafia 2's a horrid mess.

Mafia General Discussion / Lol, look at what I found!
December 08, 2011, 03:17:00 AM
Perhaps this is one the many reasons why I left the 2K forums, and why I'm so pissed off at the company for making M2 a half-assed game:









<div><iframe width="459" height="344" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uC0_ylWrOB8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div>

 




I mean, look at the Transformers PS2 game - the devs at Melbourne House managed to stuff in a detailed environment, complete with grass, and yet the PS3 version of Mafia II didn't have any volumetric foliage due to "performance reasons".

Title says all. Basically I'm looking for a tutorial on how to convert vehicles from games like GTA to Mafia 1. I know there was a thread on the old site, but it along with the rest of the board, got the shorter end of the stick.

I know I posted something similar before, but how come Melbourne House managed to add in so much foliage in their PS2 Transformers game?

Compared to the PS3 port of Mafia II, the latter was more of like a developer lulzfest:

Mafia General Discussion / iOS/Android port?
February 24, 2012, 01:16:40 PM
What do you guys think? Is it likely for 2K Czech to port the original Mafia to iOS and/or Android? Given that R* had War Drum Studios make a mobile conversion of their best-selling GTA3 game, what do you guys think?

Mod Help / DOF blur removal problem
June 16, 2012, 07:19:06 AM
Is it just me, or does disabling depth of field disable radio station functionality in Joe's Adventures? I tried installing the DF removal mod, but whenever I do that I often end up breaking the radio.

Gameplay Tips / Fuel consumption in Mafia 1.
September 15, 2012, 02:46:08 AM
Besides the faster cars, of which I observed that they eat up a lot of gas (and of course that certain guzzling sled in some Freeride Extreme mission), was it normal for most vehicles ingame to like sip just a bit of juice? I just noticed that while some vehicles that I jacked only have the tank at half-full, it takes a long while for them to go half or empty.
12
Title says all. AFAIK in the GTA games, as well as in others like Saints Row, the game streams content as the player moves from one area to another. Mafia 1 seems to also do this, as I can see LOD models of objects on occasion, but from what I can observe the engine divided Lost Heaven into sections depending on the mission.

Mod Help / Mafia 1 gun sounds?
September 23, 2012, 07:30:27 AM
Can anyone tell me as to what are the filenames for the gun sounds? I'd like to put some custom ones for my silenced F2000 mod, since the default Thompson gunshots don't seem to cut it.

Hmm, had to do some cleanup on the article wince it was reeking of copyvio and dubious fan-fictional information:




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mafia_characters


 




I know we already have a Wikia about the games, but would anyone here be kind enough to help me clean up the page?

'Tis such a sad loss for the music industry, as the lead vocalist for the Andrews Sisters passed away just recently:


 




http://movies.yahoo.com/news/patty-andr ... 21755.html


 







QuoteLOS ANGELES (AP) ââ¬â Patty Andrews, the last surviving member of the singing Andrews Sisters trio whose hits such as the rollicking "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B" and the poignant "I Can Dream, Can't I?" captured the home-front spirit of World War II, died Wednesday. She was 94. 




Andrews died of natural causes at her home in the Los Angeles suburb of Northridge, said family spokesman Alan Eichler in a statement.


 




Patty was the Andrews in the middle, the lead singer and chief clown, whose raucous jitterbugging delighted American servicemen abroad and audiences at home.


 




She could also deliver sentimental ballads like "I'll Be with You in Apple Blossom Time" with a sincerity that caused hardened GIs far from home to weep.


 




"When I was a kid, I only had two records and one of them was the Andrews Sisters. They were remarkable. Their sound, so pure," said Bette Midler, who had a hit cover of "Bugle Boy" in 1973. "Everything they did for our nation was more than we could have asked for. This is the last of the trio, and I hope the trumpets ushering (Patty) into heaven with her sisters are playing "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy."



 




Thought of sharing this, well, since we all know that at least some of their songs made it into the Mafia II soundtrack.

Mod Help / Extracting dialogue audio from Mafia 1?
February 15, 2013, 01:11:24 AM
Anyone know the filenames, or as to where can I find the character speech for the game? I'm planning to use Salieri's dialogue for a YTMND site.
