Real Car Facing MOD v1.6

[silent_gxg]

Watching screenshoots from this mod its more pleasant than playing the original game.

Neutral, can you please upload some more screenshoots?

A new taxi cab is always welcome by me!
I am for more varied freeride anytime. I am curious what new RCF will bring. Thumbs up dear Neutral, I am so happy you are still around

[xpedrox92]

I hope so it will work with the missions

[Neutral]

Thanks
The good news is that my friend Kaminsky will prepare for you a video, because it has much faster PC like mine. In it you can see the traffic and carcyclopedia with the finished cars. I updated the list, because newer cars are made out. The missions of the new cars can be used, but the animation films have a problem with them, especially in the case of all doors, or in that it does not appear, but the original car appearance. At the end of the animation, of course, the new car is already there. The reason is that there is not always a separate model in the movie (FMV.. be called) so the original was use. Then when I'm done, I'll experiment with it and maybe ask to help experienced scripters. Here some screenshot about in mission and the problematic doors.

Hello!!

first of all: fantastic work. i always wanted a mod that makes the cars "prettier", but not totally pushes them out of that game and replaces them with some shit..

really, this is wonderful...


as to your problems:

the first picture: the truck used in cinematics is called something "FMV..." something with truck i guess. its not the standard model.

as to the other pictures.... sadly i don't know how to help you with them..


but i believe that no one will complain, after all the great work and effort that you have made... otherwise i will send some guys over to him, to teach him a lesson


best regards from austria!!

Wonderful project and amazing work. I am waiting for release.

What about increasing main LOD distance? Cars slowly vanish in the air.
I hope someone create the asi-plugin increasing this distance.

How about additional version of Stutz BlackHawk Taxi in style of Falconer Yellowcab (closer to vanilla taxi)?

[silent_gxg]

Amazing work.

This will be by far the best Mafia mod ever.

Looking forward for the final release.

Thank you very much Neutral.

Thanks for the video Kaminsky. Can you please upload a few screenshoots too when you got the time?

[menju]

I am speechless!
Amazing, superb, awesome, far out, totally fantastic!

I am looking forward to this mod, and hopefully it will run well enough on my very old laptop.
Cars are simpy breathtaking! No need for Mafia II or III now.

One single remark... can anyting be done with cars that are more distant and become invisible? I think original Mafia had a less polygon second model for this purpose. That's as much technical detail I can remember from earlier days.

@Neutral: Does the animation problem only occur on "suicide doors" that you flip the axis on in zmodeler? Does the 'window roll down' animation also animate the glass moving upward instead of downward on these doors?

If so, I may be able to help. Also I can help you make working rear view mirrors if you'd want that. Let me know.

Hello guys !

Thanks for the replies .

Yeah Neutral did a fantastic work with the models .
But as you can see some models do not appear as fast as you want ingame .
Thats a very simple problem that could be done with the "setup" exe in the game's installation folder . (Abradox knows what I'm talkin about )
by the way i saw your posts on mafia-game.ru they are really helpful how to optimize Mafia

So my Mafia setup.exe options looks like this : kepkezelo.com

(this is an old screenshot back in the days when i a got a GTX 770 graphics card)

If you want to see the cars more visible or want to them to appear fast , you just need to change the options to look like this : kepkezelo.com

So you need to change the "Textmap/quality size" and the "Lightmap / Quality size " to = Truecolor .

Other options should be disabled .

In the first screenshot , i added "compressed" and "low detail" ..
these two options needed to be enable because these helps to run the Texture mods .
Either way the game crashes without these options .

If you want to run JUST the RCF 1.6 (without the texture pack), you just need the 2. setup config

Either way the game is gonna crash
It still crashes sometimes just with the RCF 1.6

BUT WITH ONLY NVIDIA CARDS !!!!

So if you want to run this mod (RCF 1.6) or the Retextured mix mod.
You gonna have a bad time with green cards.
Neutral and I figured out the problem is with Nvidia cards and their drivers .

Nvidia drivers don't have "backward compatibility" for older games and older directX files .
So the main problem is the green drivers can't let the game to use the old directX files and to help the game to use as such of video memory as it needs.
So it crashes .

But with the RED side (AMD) its the other way !

With my AMD build system , this whole mod runs great with no crashes no bugs etc. !
And of course with big draw distance and good far visible car models !
Because AMD drivers let the game to use that video memory and the old directX (so it got backwards compatibility)

So thats all .
If you got Nvidia card you need compromise the options to run the game great with this mod .

But the other way if you got AMD card .
No need to worry .
This whole mod with the biggest texture packs gonna work fine .

I know this because i got both systems .
The video is recoreded with an Nvidia card .
(my AMD card is now back on his way to RMA it )

I think it will take a few weeks , and if i got him back , i will make another video , with max settings on an AMD build .
And then you will see the difference .

I post some screenshots next week if you want
Neutral is still workin on the mod , and i test the new models asap.

For NVidia Graphic Cards owners there is this alternative: http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2.html

PROS:
- Can be played with maximum video settings
- No lag
- Using all kind of high quality mods
- Not a single game crash

CONS:
- Some flickering textures

[Duelist]

@Kaminsky
You can try to use ENB dx8 to dx9 converter (LINK) and see if it helps (it fixes cars shadows flickering for example). You should also set AF to x16, textures will look much better.

sorry for the off topic, but..

i have a nvidia GTX 950M graphic card AND some standard shitty intel HD graphics-something inside my laptop. when i open the setup.exe, it shows the intel HD graphic card, and i can not change to the nvidia card.

is there any way i could change this? maybe with some graphic cards tool?


would be thankful for any kind of help!

best regards!
