If I can suggest another way, just try to steal max payne 2 hands, they look still good indeed. 
There are many different textures tones inside the game files, although the texture format is the "newer" .dds and not .bmp or .jpg/.jpeg .

During our explorations of possibilities to edit characters, I even found some free 3d models of hands, the problem here is rather the way of editing it for it’s not possible to export the character model in an usual way. The changes above are only possible thanks to Duelist’s clever methods. Since he hasn’t shared all there is to them, any progress probably lies with him. I "even" made a texture for the hand to encourage further development,  but he seems to be busy. Just hang in there, something will happen some time. |

| I wonder if the rest of Tommy's body can be improved to look less blocky using the same method for the hand model. Really cool technique on improving the hand model, and quite an achievement on Mafia modding altogether since something like this hasn't been successfully done before(I don't think). |

| Hopefully the lip-sync and face expressions can also be improved if possible. But most certainly, Duelist is amazing when it comes to Mafia modding and has done very much for the community. |

Pff, you haven't seen anything yet

Model itself yes, but changing it breaks something else. I wrote about it before and didn't touch it since then:
| Duelist wrote: | | I wrote part of new excel template to handle bigger morphs. I also made one attempt and smoothing main body but it was complete failure Vertices were all over the place and whole model was messed up. Maybe I did too many thing at once and I have to try some smaller changes first to rule out what could have happend. |
Edit: Looks like first half of my post got deleted when copy-pasting. Sorry |

I tried out the phone model and it fits perfectly, and I'm surprised it has its own collision. Wonder what new building models would like... 
Keep up the great work guys!  |

This landed in my messages and I believe it might be useful to share it: | Quote: | | "Hi I would like to ask you if you there is a setting to enhance the level of detail of the game cars, buildings, etc . I have already installed the draw distance and widescreen patch. screen 1: far buildings are there, screenshot 2: some buildings disappeared |
None of this is a LOD thing.
For the disappearing buildings, occluders are to blame. You can take dced and just delete all of them (for each scene2.bin separately Mafia/missions/each folder has one scene2.bin - and I recommend you only delete a few, save and repeat because dced has a tendency to crash). Then you see everything, however it becomes quite hardware demanding (if there is such a thing - LS3D is too old and is not able to use modern hardware to its full potential - I believe we measured some 5 - 10% GPU usage with some new beast from nvidia). Try it in Freeride, if you don’t have enough fps, lower the view distance. You can also try using dgVoodoo which helps the GPU usage quite a lot. Btw: I don't know what you mean by "draw distance patch" (unless when you say "draw distance and widescreen patch" you mean one and the same thing), but using the widescreen fix is enough and it applies the view distance game-wide, you don’t need additional mods which increase it by changing a value in scene2.bin. Maybe some of the view distance increasing mods already have the occluders deleted, which would save you time, but if you then needed to take the view distance down a bit, I’m not sure if the widescreen fix would become prevalent over the scene2.bin files with the values changed. But I believe it would.
The cars disappearing too close - I think it has something to do with the traffic settings and we were not able to change it. But then again - maybe everything’s possible, maybe somebody here can come up with a solution. But mods which deliver some additional fun are more important. |

Traffic (de)spawn distances can be configured in the corresponding traffic actor in scene2.bin. Alternatively one can use Mafia Patcher to patch the values in memory without having to touch every single mission (see option TrafficSpawnDistance and TrafficDespawnDistance). |

Great job, keep it up! 
Sorry for my ignorance, but could you enlighten me (and maybe others too) what's the difference between Stable build, Pack for lazy people and Packs for diligent people? It's the same stuff?! If it's the same stuff, why the archives sizes are so different between Stable build (~135mb) and the other archives (some of them +1Gb)?!?! I'd like to download the complete pack and do not know which one is that. |
