PowerKracker Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Looks good so far! It's interesting that the model doesn't look so bad - as I said, RAGE alone can make it look better - the cars in IVSA also look better than in SA due to RAGE. It's not just models and textures that constitute graphics - anyone who has seen things like Crysis models imported to Gmod can see that they look raw and nowhere near as good as in the actual game. However, a more detailed one would look even better! Edited August 9, 2012 by AlfredNTheFettuc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkjellman Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) After I finish helping with the EFLC port of Ghostown, I could help you guys port this to EFLC if you like. PS: It would be cool if you had Empire Bay as well. I don't know if it would fit in though as Empire Bay is much higher poly.

D T Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Sorry for bitching here, but when I tried to post Bully's map to RAGE, noone from the crew allowed me to. This game was published by 2K I think, right? In my case it was even better - it was created by Rockstar. However, I would of be banned maybe if I tried to post a topic A few weeks ago, tons of people were linking Rockstar to total conversions like SA-to-IV and IV-to-SA and they just kept replying 'cool' and 'nice'. If Rockstar doesn't have any problems with it, the moderators shouldn't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stilldre Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Looks good you're in your own element On those open areas you should make dense forest later and put some rocks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkjellman Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 That would be a good idea. Anyways, I got Mafia 1 off of pirate bay. I hate the driving controls. I like to play with a controller. I bet its a good game, but so far I like Mafia 2 better. I'd rather explore the map in Rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob.Zombie Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Looks brilliant. Will it have normal map as well? I don't really care for specular map, since that just gives reflection to the road, which in my opinion makes no sense. I can't wait to drive on the countryside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vito Mohebi Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Awesome! you didn't know how much happy it made me to see Mafia The City of Lost Heaven on the Rage Engine too bad you didn't put the mafia 2 map on rage. Anyway, if you need a beta tester i would gladly help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vito Mohebi-for beta testing now is too early-not converted 80-90% of map.When will be time for beta testing I will invite u.

If Rockstar doesn't have any problems with it, the moderators shouldn't either. I agree with you hristo, I don't know why Bully would matter. i would be 'sad' if the mods locked this, but it seem they turned a blind eye, Cool. Alber, good work. I remember playing this game very long ago, so amazing was it at the time, Mafia II was almost as good. I'm waiting for 3. This game artwork is just awesome. Not trying to offend the mods. But I think most of them are just incredibly paranoid, or on a "powertrip" (well, as much as you can get from a online video game forum) I'm pretty much positive most companies wouldn't sue, let alone sue the forum! They'd probably just make you take whatever offended them down. Ontopic: Awesome mod! Great progress, should be awesome to play. I always loved the countryside on Mafia and this should be awesome! How do the original Mafia cars react to IV's damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerKracker Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) I'm just wondering: Mafia wasn't as open as GTA, so many places were designed only to render from the way you could see them, as you would have never got behind anyway. Will all the impassable barriers and invisible walls be removed, and the one-side buildings fixed?

Will all the impassable barriers and invisible walls be removed, and the one-side buildings fixed? I'm sure they will be. I bet col is done based on the models, not the cols. Like when you port a map from a III era GTA to IV, the stairs have col thats shaped like the model, not the slanted plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerKracker Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Fair enough then, it's all gonna be covered under remodelling. Perhaps also some tweaks due to GTA's island nature, but then again there are no helicopters here (yet to be invented!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkjellman Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Any progress? Also I didn't get a DB invite. Edit: Because this is set when their are no Helicopters, do you think you may replace them with planes, or add planes?

PowerKracker Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Very nice... That reminds me, maybe some 1930's motorcycles (with sidecars and all) can be added to the mod just so there are any and still fit the theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkjellman Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Question: Because your replacing the helicopters with airplanes, what will you do about the police heli's that chase you when you have a wanted level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police hot air balloons sound like a good idea. Might work. Did the police use hot air balloons back then? It would be kinda hard to chase someone as they kinda float around. Also what about the Annihilater? I was thinking a good replacement for the Annihilater would be a World War 2 fighter plane. Maybe the one that has the shark face on the front. This would allow the plane to have machine guns on it. Possible ways to stop the vehicles from appearing: -Make them there, but nothing. Invisible model, no collision. -Completely remove them. (However Annihilater would be a cool vehicle to use for the WWII fighter plane. They will fly around when they chase you. You can limit the wanted level so they don't spawn. -Script to stop police Mavericks and Annihlaters from appearing. But you may want to try to avoid removing the Annihilater, as it can be used for a armed plane. Edited August 16, 2012 by nkjellman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What year they were, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
