I agree! I played this, and it's SO awesome!
A little off topic, and I'm a console gamer so my question will not help me, but I was wondering why the police bodies dissapear, and if there was a mod to stop that from happening. Or do the police bodies disappear for a reason?
presume it's just a matter of resources.
Hi, I wondered if anyone could post an alternate download link for costa's freeride mod v2 (with godmode etc. etc.) My game kept crashing so i had to re-install it and since mafia-empire.com is down i can't find any other site that has version 2.
If anyone could send a pc save for joes adventures to me, with just a modded location inside a building or something I could put it onto 360 to test for people eg: offline of course and for personal use
pc gamesave for xbox?
isnt the format different?
usually xbox gameave is tied to gamertag, and also packed inside CON file....
I have the means to covert it to a xbox 360 save and re hash it to my gamertag
While it's great to have these modding talk threads here, I recommend that those looking for modding support and discussion to also head over to MafiaScene.com. Sadly, I never visited Mafia-Empire.com, but now that it's gone, I have visited and participated in discussion at MafiaScene.com, and it's a good place to talk about modding and to find mods because they have dedicated sections just for that. Go to their Forum and then go to the Mafia 2 Mods sub-forum, and make sure to notice that Mafia 2 Mods also has 2 more sub-forums.
I have been able to move giusepe's house, located near joe's flat.

The procedure is at mafiascene.com modding section
Thats awsome,the possibilited are endless.Is it possible to remove buildings and add different one?
Like replacing the Hillwood Villa with vitos burned down safehouse?
Perhaps, but (so I've heard since I play on a PS3) Mafia II modding is ridiculously demanding compared to other games such as Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. Just have a look at the download section on MafiaScene: 883 downloads available for Mafia and 12 for Mafia2.
I don't know if is possible to remove buildings, i don't try it yet, but you can move the building outside the map, where you don't see it

Audiovisuals are intact, but gameplay undergoes quite a change.
Have fun ^_^
Andrashi
EDIT after Danjodan's post:
general
- no health regeneration (HARD difficulty only)
- a bit more durable main character (but no Terminator), it is a must with no health regen
- better responses for getting hit by a car
- in cover, camera is close to the player, making peeking more harder
- damage camera effects amplified to compensate for lack of hit response animations
- revisited police offences system
- no screen fading filters until player is at the very edge of death
- more forgiving height damage for falling
- enemies drop less ammo (HARD difficulty only)
close combat
- a bit faster pace of brawling
- more cunning AI
- some extra anims, unused in retail (AI only ^_^)
- one extra feature which should have been in retail in the first place
firearms combat
- less spare ammunition (you have unlimited inventory, take advantage of it and equip yourself before a mission)
- damage revmap, grenade is now really grenade...apart from the fact I coudn't turn off friendly fire -_-
- accuracy revmap, small firearms are not sniper rifles, sniper rifles are now sniper rifles
- kickback revmap (beware of shotgun ^_^)
- revisited HankB fuel tank and gasoline station explosions;
- smarter AI
cars
- all cars have minimal three tumblers now
- Derek now accepts more cars types (but still those cars have to look somewheat classy)
Easter eggs
- three of them, all can be experienced in a city when roaming in between missions
And all other stuff I haven't mentioned ^_^

Give some more details please.
Like what this mod does,what it changes and what it is
Andrashi, that all sounds great, ta
just played through a couple of missions, mod is great, very nice work
you wern't joking about the shotgun, not too keen on the closer cover camera but it does make combat tougher, shotgun would be my only criticism, needs toning down a little, melee pace is a good improvement.

Bravo!
You did a pretty good job here. Downloaded it and tried it out, and I liked it quite a bit. Don't know if I like the close-up cameras, though.
Just a few things I noticed:
-In missions with lots of fighting, like Chapter 8 or Chapter 14, the non-replenishing health gets pretty tricky to work with, and it's very annoying to try to fight through dozens of thugs when you're heart's beating constantly and the screen is faded. However, this is meant to be hard difficulty, so I guess I shouldn't be complaining.
-The recoil is maybe a bit strong, for example the Thompson. It can be a pain for example in Chapter 8 when you have to shoot up the Crazy Horse.
-The gas station explosions are maybe a tad too strong, as even people across the street are instantly killed
Other than that, great job! I espeacially like the increased damage and deadliness of the grenade; always thought they were like firecrakers before!
Oh, and could you maybe tell us in what missions we could find the easter eggs?
Fugue: there is a trick. Fire the shotgun and as you are pulling the trigger, start moving mouse downwards. Recoil will be compensated way faster and it won't throw your aim so far. It it designed so it requires player's active involvement, instead of just holding down left mouse button.
snick25:
Thanks for opinion. Reactions on your comments:
- Cameras in cover are closer, so you cannot peek while you are hidden. Together with no health regen it turns rather boring shootouts into adrenaline experience.
- Screen fading occurs when you are almost dying. Just try to keep your health above 10%.
- Regarding melee: maneouver and try to attack from such a distance so you just connect with knuckles of your attacking arm. That way, you can often catch opponent off-guard. It is done on purpose, to prevent from "rush close-spam counterattack" strategy. Counterattacks work, but you have to launch them just frame when you dodge opponent's attack, otherwise he will 90% dodge it. Welcome in Tekken ^_^.
- About recoil: actively compensate recoil by moving mouse in opposite direction not only after shoot, but also while shooting. With automatic weapons, shoot in rapid successions of short bursts (swiftly adjusting your aim between bursts).
- Gas station and fuel tank truck explosion ARE deadly, deal with it. Shockwave is not pleasant, and flying debris can do wonders ^_^. Also it is a tribute to Mafia I insane harbor gas tank explosion.
- Easter eggs are not in missions, they are in a city. You can see them in between storyline missions or in Costa's freeride. One is connected with cars, two are connected with people in the city.

Wow u did the devs work. Really modders have to finish this game?
Good job Andrashi.
OK, since I have learnt some of you overseas folks are afraid of European download sites,
here goes ModDB page
together with download. I will update some screens and videos, so you can see the mod and decide for yourself.
Please ( Tommy Mafioso ) Can You Invite Me And Tell Me About Vito's Skin
don't get me wrong, the recoil is a big improvement, it's just that a couple feel a little too extreme but I appreciate you were aiming for a tougher combat experience, and it's definitely that
thought I would try your mod Andrashi.. however (and probably due to having the Steam version) when I start
Mafia II I get mafia2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
I use legal STEAM version too.
I heard there was some update on Sunday. Since I am not at home I don't know whether it is true or not. If yes, there is a possibility it was setting background for Joe's Adventure missing music, that could mean possible changes in structure of tables.sds. If that is true, the mod won't run for you. Will try to look into it at the weekend.
What is bumping?
Big thanks Andrashi,
I'm really enjoying the game again and finally on a hard difficulty, which I was expecting from the very beginning.
The recoil is fantastic.
The cover camera too, so you have to lean out to localize the enemy first, but I have to say I didn't like the closer third person view in a building that much.
Quite good move with weapons limits, but when you have tons of weapons with no ammo and only one loaded, a drop function would take it's place - I know, I don't have to pick them in the first place.
(Some time in the future, far far away, I see a limited inventory

It show's all that 2K cut off? :s I didn't know that there were that much cut off. :s
What part exactly?
It just showed some deleted mission scripts for JA and the deleted free ride.Nothing new really.
If you mean the Andrashi's mode he posted here, you can try it on your own. There's also a video.Will we get a gameplay video about this?
If you mean the limited inventory, you will have to make it
buy glasses please.

The only part of that which is new is the rags to ritches and the JA mission scripts,which I previously stated.And dont tell me to wear glasses.
Lol read it again, I edited it (coloured deleted parts) so you could understand it.
E: Ok glasses joke was not funny but read it now
E2: And could you edit your post and not quote my whole post. so it would be more clear for everybody.
Yes,all the blue section is new,which is what I previously stated.Lol read it again, I edited it (coloured deleted parts) so you could understand it.
E: Ok glasses joke was not funny but read it now
but he's right.buy glasses please.
1-15 is the story broken into checkpoints, the rest is JA mission scripts, and since JA is the last DLC it suggests the rest were never completed anyway...
And also, there were more sicily missions, and prison missions.
and whole Money for barber mission is cut.
lastly, there are original and other version in 15th. mission ?
The money for barber is a section in chapter 2 with derek.And there is not any more prison or sicily missions.Their is no difference in the original ending and final ending.
And empire bay HQ teqtures is a mod obhiously.Are you a troll,all of these things can be figured out with commen sence.
No it's not section in chapter 2, its between 02 and 03, so it's a mission.
How do you explain then the cut / hidden areas for prison and sicily and empire bay? If there's no cut off things...
There was 4 different endings and they didn't want to publish the other 3, because they thought that the one ending was best.
where did that come from?02-03 Money for barber
- whole mission
it's clearly the part in the docks, since that's exactly the task you're given, why would that very short section be a "whole mission"
I know their are cut things,but the only cut things that are shown in your list is the JA mission script and the free ride.The 4 diferent ending thing is a completely subject.Stop trying to go OT.
good point, don't want this thread closed.
back OT
Andrashi's mod, with a slightly tweaked camera and limited inventory would be my idea of a near perfect modSome time in the future, far far away, I see a limited inventory .
