The second link doesn't work.

just refresh it!

It doesn't work!! It redirects to: http://localhost/images/hotlink.jpe (I suppose it doesn't like hot links).

So, you have made one conversion and the second one is in progress, right

What about links to download

I'd like to check converted car in game.

Three quick questions:
1. how are you going to make interior

I mean dashboard view.
2. how are you going to make breakable parts

3. can models in Mafia be protected

I know that some 3D cars' models for Mafia cannot be imported in ZModeler 2 because are protected...

-The Subaru, Ford Focus, Maybach has an interior.
-The dashboard view is easy! just create a "dummy" behind the steering wheel.
-The breakable parts the not soo hard thing. just i need to take parts the object (like the rear bumpert to: the bumper, numtable, exhaust)

but how do u meen: "can models in Mafia be protected"?

Have you checked this cars in the game (in MM2)

The interior is quite simple, beacuse it's not well see in MM2. Dashboard view is separated flat model with high quality textures. As fsar as I know Mafia doesn't work this way.

doomgabor wrote:-The dashboard view is easy! just create a "dummy" behind the steering wheel.

The same as above. In MM2 dashboard view is a separated model, the interior of the car (e.g. Focus) isn't good enough to be shown from close distance, to work as dashboard view.

What about "things" that breajable parts cover/hide, I mean engine, stuff under bumpers, etc. Our cars don't have them, are you going to model them

doomgabor wrote:but how do u meen: "can models in Mafia be protected"?

I mean protection agains thiefs who take the model without author persmission, change and use in other games as their own.

Have you tried with registred version of ZM2

Because as far as I know unregistered version can import almost nothing.

i saw the Subaru from GTASA and that is soo good dashboard! about the dashboards: that isnt the most important thing, the main the all car model, textures ....

about engine:
1.) the engine will be a not soo breakable part
2.) or i can get an engine from the Impreza 2004

about protection:
-they cant stole the car bcause when we upload the model, the 4DS file is allways LOCKED
the locking is on the ZModeler
-so nobody can open the model

Try the ZModeler 2.0.6 (this isnt need a register)
the mafia fans use for convert cars from NFSMW and GTASA.

Look! if something is not correct, i allways find the way to fix it.

About converting:
-i only need the Z3D or 3DS
-i allways report to the creator (send pics) about the modding, adding, and the converting status

He seems good.

The only problem would be about the interior, becuase HQTM don't make complex interiors...there is no need for mm2.

The Mafia game engine is great, all cars look good......
