Amazing mod mate. Great story and great missions!

I'm done, I'm waiting for testers and half of dubbing. I don't want to rush anyone, as in these times they have more important things to do. I'll give them a bit more time and if there won't be any reaction, I'll publish the mod without dubbing.

GREAT! Thank You for update man, I am looking forward to it SO MUCH! One of the BEST mods for Mafia, sadly a little bit overlooked.
Well, what can you do, golden age of Mafia modding is over for good

Finally, the 3rd part is finished!

What’s new?
- 4 new missions depicting the story leading to the rise of Salieri and Morello,
- new models and textures (including the ones from The Lost Family by DMateo, thank you!),
- fixing many bugs from previous parts,
- and more. Check it out yourself

About the Polish dubbing – unfortunately, not all actors from previous parts returned. I hope it will change. This is why their parts have been replaced with a voice generator. I apologise for the effect. Of course, this is not a preferred solution, but it seems it was the best one from all the possibilities available to me right now. For sure, it’s a temporary one.
As always, all the info about bugs etc. can be found in the files on dropbox.
What’s next? 2 parts of the mod are left. At the moment, I need a SHORT break from Mafia, cause I have enough. I will change the method of working on the mod; it is actually a good moment, as I had relatively little ideas on the next part. It may be a bit shorter and more chaotic, but I’ll try that its quality doesn’t drop. It shouldn’t take me so long to make it, though.
I would like to thank Patryk, who helped me a loooooot with the models, dubbing and generally every aspect of working on the mod Trojan – thank you for your help with the dubbing and providing motivation to continue working, for few years now. Also, thanks to every one writing to me and leaving comments about the mod – it really helps!
Thank you for your patience and enjoy playing the new part!

If you want to start from the 3rd part, just put the contents of the "missions/TUTORIAL/3CZESC" folder into the "missions/TUTORIAL" folder and start a new game in Mafia. If you want to start from the 1st mission, you have to put the content of the "missions/1DOM" folder into "missions/TUTORIAL" folder and start a new game in Mafia.

In the course of testing the translation (not just the whole translation, but only the preliminary translation), I noticed that you didn't register a distance check between Paulie and Sam. When Sam opens the apartment, he leans against the wall and starts talking. Paulie can be anywhere when the dialog is started.

I also noticed that you don't use actor_setdir.

But for the movement of the lips-respect. When I tried to do this, I spat and waved my hand.

If someone wants to see what this part is about, you can check out videos by ParadonzPlay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-z1E1OHv4Y& and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9QZdtKK99w. They are in Russian, but he uses English subtitles during dialogues. However, he made some mistakes in installation, so there are bugs (no map, floating people etc.). So I recommend to play the mod yourself instead
I will be also trying to record the gameplay on my YT, together with an installation guide. I plan the videos to be in Polish and English at the same time.

@Melhior - how is the translation going?
I'm not sure what you mean with the dialogue. Sam is supposed to lean next to the wall (like he does in Paradonz's video) and you are supposed to be able to move around, on purpose.
The lips are not such a big bother, especially compared to copying the text into db files... This takes forever. But thanks for kind words

Russian translation thanks to Melhior:

I'll upload it to dropbox in few days, hopefully.

Thank you, mammix. I loved all your new great content from part 3.

I particularly enjoy the car chase missions and the overall attention to fine details.

For anyone who wants to play it but still not sure what to expect, here is Paulie's Stories - part 3 in pictures (combined with Real Car Facing 1.6.1 mod and other car mods)(warning! - contains spoilers):

Many thanks to you, mammix, for sharing your high quality hard work!

3rd part update!
I am sorry to take so long (and to offer only an update), but I am finally releasing a patch to the already-released mod.
What's new? Dubbing (in Polish) is updated - finally no machines are talking, but real people. Few characters were additionaly replaced from the start - full list of actors avaliable in the game. Many thanks to Jakubek and Asasynek who gathered the people and to Patryk who corrected the sound files.
More? Easy mode added to mission 4 (shooting in the hotel) - talking to Tommy will add you so much HP that you shouldn't have a problem to finish the level.
Also, few minor bugs were corrected.
Many thanks also to Patryk, who did a lot of work, including:
-correcting the sound files,
-new model for Sam in the 3rd part,
-hiding the interface during dialogues,
-correcting few bugs and graphic problems.
I did not forget about the 4th part, I estimate it to be completed in 30-40%, which is actually good. Working on PhD slows my work, but I have to finish it soon too...

Thanks to all the players and people interested in the mod, and I have to ask you to be a bit more patient with me and I hope I will give you few more good missions

The 4th part is gonna be ready very soon. All that is left is minor bug fixing and dubbing - it now depends on others how fast they will record their lines.
