Quote from: AsaSK on June 04, 2025, 12:02:11 PMI remember you being a bit abrasive some years ago, but I thought I'd give it a chance on a new site. If you'd rather be childish and passive-aggressive, I'm okay with that. With an instant messenger, I was thinking more that quicker response time is helpful when going back-and-forth to troubleshoot. On top of that, Quarkblitz is the only online alias I know that ASM currently has, and I've been speaking with him in some form or another for more than 15 years. If you'd rather I didn't help (I'm sure someone else can), physician heal thyself

You don't seem to be hearing me at all. I am asking for help. You seem to be refusing to help and demanding that the conversation happen on some unnamed third party platform. Why bother replying if you only want to critique my behavior and talk about how "it's up to me" if you or anyone else helps. THAT'S passive aggressive. I don't see anyone else here.

You're raising my blood pressure over here with your personal comments. I said NOTHING about you and thanked you for your help every time you gave it. Please think more carefully about how to speak to others, and if you don't want to keep your comments on topic, I humbly suggest that you find one of those other mysterious venues you are in favor of and say it there.

How so? You envisioning some long back and forth conversation on it? Now you're asking me to come up with some kind of messenger. Like there's a lot of them, and I don't know which you have. 

Originally we had ICQ, MSN, AIM and IRC. IRC you gotta set up a meeting. MSN and AIM are gone. Technically ICQ exists, but I have a feeling you don't want to set up there for me, even though "it would probably be easier."

Apple messages. Like damn pretty personal, IMHO. Telegram. PITA. Discord. In which case you could just tell me what it is, but I never understood how a discord is better than a forum. I guess I just don't know shit about shit; I'm like Ralphie over here.

And what's interesting to me is that by taking the discussion away from here, no one can ever read the information and learn from it. Ah, but the ease! Unparalleled. Oh hey, I'm in PST. Hope that's not extremely awkward as I get the impression it would be. We were a trans-national Mafia, and IRC was a fool's errand.

Fine. Maybe I've gotta look up this "QuarkBlitz," you know, I totally use discord all the time and just tear myself away from its ease to this clunky forum from time to time.

So, 2.5 things to find out here:

1. Can I change ped spawn distance?
2. Can I change car spawn distance?
3. Can I change or toggle the setting which makes cars low poly when they spawn and fill in when they are closer?

Thanks for any help.

I think I have the answer. Thanks for your efforts.

Quote from: AsaSK on May 19, 2025, 03:56:56 PMHi there, AsaSK did say Boz Scene Tree Editor could do it, but he was referring to this part of the data:

Oh well, please thank him for me then.

I watched the video, but it seems like what he's doing is repositioning an occluder and copying the coordinates into the editor. 

Hi. Is this possible? Obviously it was something the developers selected. 

AsaSK said Boz tree editor could do it. But all I see in an occluder is dimensional and positional data. Maybe it's in game.exe or something.

I will create a new topic.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask AsaSK, but, do you know if you can change the distance at which occluders operate?

That must be him. Thank you, AsaSK. 

I don't suppose anyone knows if he is around still. As I was saying, when we had a forum with years of work and questions and answers, you could just look at his profile and see when he was last around. But seemingly he's part of the stuff that gets lost when the database gets deleted.

(I made a new account with oldman82 username).
I might see if anyone needs uploads here though i'm sure there's others who also have loads of mafia mods archived.
Though this site doesn't look quite right atmo.
Looks like there was some sort of recovery attempted from the old site that has resulted in lots of old semi-broken threads/topics with formatting messed up and images missing
Anyway ,hopefully it can be fixed somewhat so it works like the old site did.
Not sure how busy the old site was . Maybe it didn't get a lot of traffic ? I dunno.
It was always a good place to go for interesting mafia news or mod info and downloads from known modders in the scene.

You should totally list what you have. There's many lost mods.

Hi, I'm Hunter. You probably don't know me, I joined lostheaven.co.uk in 2003.

Anyway, um, has anyone heard of this modder guy? I don't quite remember the name. Was it AGM or something? I don't know if he published mods or what. IIRC he helped me with some nice game.exe hex edits. And I just wanted to credit him properly. 

We always had a nice community until some fool wrecked it. Keep Chris Kempson away from your server, folks.
