| @ASM: EntityDataStorage_0.bin in each vehicle archive contains handling data for each vehicle: Weight; Horsepower; gears; etc. |

Isn't that data located in "vehicles.tbl"? The only data i see in "EntityDataStorage" is scripts and mainly empty bytes. |

A lot of library edits have been made, which has allows the program to now delete objects from the FrameResource, and configure FrameNameTables.
This first picture shows deleted objects, this is only the first step. It doesn't actually delete the data from the bufferpools or the FrameResource, except the actual object. (If you're not too sure on how the SDS structure is, it just means it's not fully functional yet.  )
This last picture is showing work on FrameNameTables. In the summer SDS files, the snow still actually exists. It's just disabled in the FrameNameTable. A small bug actually identified this for me.  I do find this odd though. Why did the developers leave the snow there??
One last note; I created a paypal.me. If you would like to support this project and help keep it running, feel free to donate using the link here.

No. I have modified EntityDataStorage_0.bin files successfully. |

Hmm. Can you send me a sample? The only ones I can find exist in the sds archive called "city_universe". They seem to be to do with events around the city, like carrying crates, newsstands or hot dog stands.
EDIT:
Found the file you're talking about. It looks like there are different versions of this file. One for vehicle data, and one for City_Universe data. |

How did you modify the EntityDataStorage file? Did you use Ultra Edit or one of Yusik's programs:
http://www.playground.ru/files/mafia_2_vehicle_editor_eds-77900/
If so then I would like to inform you of my situation with several of Yusik's programs including the FrameRes_Editor which was resolved by an internet user:
https://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/18550/please-edit-this-exe-file-i-beg-you-at-least-tell-me-what-can-be-doneno-gene/18554#18554
As for the Vechile Editor (EntityDataStorage), the cars lose balance and stability once the aforementioned file pertaining to such car is saved on Yusik's assigned program, regardless of any edits. If you visit the link to a Stack Exchange discussion, you will discover that my issue could be a case of localization - while I am experiencing problems with some of Yusik's programs, other users who are Russian reported that they never encountered any flaws concerning his program. |

Apologies for being quiet. I've been working very hard on updating the tool. I felt like the toolkit needed SDS packing and SDS unpacking, so I built a tool to make it easier to pack/unpack and quickly edit files using a new program called the "Game Explorer".
It can also handle "Friends for life" archives, which seem to be impossible to unpack with other programs.
Also added support for XML files and added a fix, so all possible XML files can be opened.
After a few days of bug fixing and polishing, I will resume working on support for "patches" and models.

| @Osaru: I manually edited using a hex editor. It was a lot of work. |

Oh? Do you know how this file structure is layed out? It could really help me. |

The files in the Friends For Life DLC are impossible to unpack because they were encrypted via a program created by the aforementioned programmer Yusik. It is impressive how you were able to bypass the obfuscation. |

It was actually relatively straight forward.
Each SDS archive has a section for the "ResourceXML", which basically stores names of each file depending on the "Resource Type". It was easy to fix because I add a statement to check if this exists, and if it doesn't exist, then the unpacker will just name the files "NULL_XX" instead. The "ResourceXML" file is actually packed inside the archive as a resource in the "Friends for Life" mod, which is kind of weird.
I hope this is relatively understandable. |

I figured out about 90% of the file. It is layed out similar to vehicles.bin from Mafia 1, but each vehicle has its own file rather than all vehicles in one. |

As you can see, the fireplace has gone and been replaced with a barrel. The textures are incorrect, but basic meshes can be implemented into the game.
