Mafia The City of Lost Heaven

[dense jetty]

To run mafia with RTX Remix you need:

Correctly set settings in setup.exe from the game folder (the settings are shown in the screenshot)

Copy Remix Runtime files to folder with other dll's, A1.dta, A2.dta and so on

in the .trex folder put the bridge.conf, which I dropped below, also in the main folder with all the dlls rename the original d3d9.dll to d3d9.remix.dll and put my d3d9.dll and d3d8.dll, which I attached to the #1055103037271703602 message, in the folder

in the developer menu, go to the game settings tab, expand UI Textures, and click on all interface textures, then expand Sky Textures, and click on all sky textures

After these steps, the game should work

[idle aspen]

Anyway to use it without owning Portal?

[dense jetty]

remix 0.1.0 does not work with mafia, 0.1.1 is not yet tested

[idle aspen]

Well, I hope it does end up working, 0.1.1

[dense jetty]

mafia works with remix 0.1.1

cursor in remix menu now works if you add rtx.showUICursor = True in rtx.conf

animations now work properly, they don't freeze

[marble hull]

can't seem to reliably interact with the alt-x menu in-game, works buttery smooth for the cutscene but in free-ride or after the cutscene the renderer freezes entirely, sometimes showing me 1 good frame before freezing on a grey screen

[dense jetty]

I don't have this problem, can you see the list of textures in the city? because of this, the game freezes 100%, you need to look at the textures in the salieri bar or similar small locations

[marble hull]

Yeah, in that case I must be improperly selecting the terrain textures in the bar scene. Didn't expect a skill check in getting this set up haha

[distant leaf]

so....it means it works with current GitHub one?

[idle aspen]

Yeah, that's the version on GitHub as of that post.

[distant leaf]

great to hear

[bright kindle]

is there way to fix white textures?

[dense jetty]

#game-compatibility message

[cosmic bronze]

Did you manage to customize the materials on the characters? Is the edge problem still not solved?

[dense jetty]

the only solution to this problem is to bake the smoothing groups into a normal map, but I don't know what tool can do that

[spare token]

@dense jetty the newest commits have support for normals capture

Experimental though

Also for the black distance thingy
Try FUSEDWORLDVIEW parameters

[dense jetty]

rtx.fusedWorldViewMode = 1

@patent hill mafia downgraded to 1.0, settings in setup.exe posted here, remix 0.1.1 installed, and (doesn't affect the problem) dxvk remix

[patent hill]

Ah, looks like sceneScale isn't actually hooked up to NRD, so the "goes black in the distance" problem could be happening because Mafia considers 1 unit to be 1 inch or 1 cm.

thanks!

[dense jetty]

by the way, if (you) will test it in 4k without dlss on 4090, it manifests itself much stronger at low resolutions, for demonstration in the screenshot a little higher, I played in 1080p and dlss ultra performance

[patent hill]

you mean it turns black closer to the camera?

[dense jetty]

yes

[patent hill]

Filed a ticket about it internally. I'll try to remember to ping this chat when we figure it out

[dense jetty]

💚

[cosmic bronze]

Can you check how it works with Mafia_widescreen_fix.asi (with increased distance)? Will it affect the black thing?

[dense jetty]

I couldn't run it because the widescreen fix uses its own d3d8.dll (or something similar)

[dense jetty]

fixed in remix 0.2.0 💚

[patent hill]

oh, guess I can just close that ticket then.

how to get textures back?

[dense jetty]

#game-compatibility message

[whole sand]

I have the same problem with the terrain, as in this image.
In addition if I try to change textures from RTX Remix, when I then go into the game I get "Warning replacement not production ready" and what I replaced turns gray.

In addition, I don't know if anyone can tell me why on Flatout I can select textures directly ingame with the mouse and then have the selection on the runtime, while here I can't, despite always being the new 0.4.

[dense jetty]

are you using full screen mode?

I don't have the problems you described

[whole sand]

Do you mean for texture selection?

[dense jetty]

yes, I can select textures with the mouse, and I was able to replace textures through the toolkit

[whole sand]

Yes anyway it starts me in full screen anyway, I can't find the window mode.

[dense jetty]

in the game folder there is setup.exe, you can set a windowed mode in it, but for me it does not work correctly, I cannot open the remix settings

[whole sand]

I see, no matter what, there are problems, thank you in the meantime!

[dense jetty]

Have you had problems that the light comes from only one of the two headlights?

And if you turn off the car, will the light turn off?

[tardy kiln]

I added lights to meshes. Looks like different cars = different meshes

[dense jetty]

(sorry for lags)

there are lamps in the salieri's bar garage, try adding light to them, will you have the same problem?

I also described this problem here #general-remix message

everything looks like you don't have these problems, I want to find out why

[tardy kiln]

Wait, 3 lamps?

[dense jetty]

what 3 lamps

[tardy kiln]

Is it right spot?

[dense jetty]

lamps have 1 mesh, which is repeated for all lamps

you need to add light to one, and it should add itself to the other lamps

[tardy kiln]

There are more lamps on your video, for me there are only 2

[dense jetty]

maybe they weren’t in your field of vision when you did the capture?

[dense jetty]

probably on the mission you launched there were actually 2 lamps, I used 18, just for relaxation, salieri's bar segment

[dense jetty]

Do these lamps have the same hash?

[dense jetty]

Apparently not, if the light for the second lamp was not added automatically

[tardy kiln]

One mesh for both lamps ( isn't split )

[tardy kiln]

Wait, is it automatically adding lights for you? For me, game is trying to spawn some lights outside map, that's all

[dense jetty]

mesh - model for the game
instance - application of this model in the game

for lamps in mission 18.01 there is 1 mesh, and many instances, I added light to one mesh, and it was added to all instances automatically, in the remix toolkit it looks correct, as it should be, but in the game for some reason the light comes only from one lamp

hash - a pointer to a specific mesh/instance, such as 9B92C3F17826CCCC in my screenshot

headlights on a car, as far as I know, have 1 mesh (unique for each car), and 2 instances of this mesh for each headlight, and here #general-remix message I got the same effect as on the lamps, and your headlights look normal, like 2 light sources

because of this, I used to add a light to the body of the car, so it did not disappear and worked correctly, but this did not allow me to turn off the light in a turned off car

By the way, the problem with the headlights has either been fixed or is present only on some cars, now I repeated this and there is no problem, but this does not eliminate the problem with the same meshes for the lamps

[dense jetty]

so that the light source in the toolkit does not look in the opposite direction from the game, it is better to use sphere light

[tardy kiln]

Yes, same culling

[tardy kiln]

For me it's harder to setup sphere, couldn't set angle

[dense jetty]

not the same, all the lamps do not turn off except one, all the ones that are visible are on

[dense jetty]

Shaping: cone Angle and Shaping:cone softness is settings of angle

[tardy kiln]

Thanks!

[dense jetty]

in the remix settings (alt+x) there is anti-culling, turn it on to the light

[tardy kiln]

It was on

[dense jetty]

I understand, in Mafia 1.2 everything works correctly, in 1.0 there is such a bug, it’s not clear why this happens, but it’s clear how to fix it

[sonic tulip]

@dense jetty does the installation guide work the same or does it need an update

i can add this game to the compatibility list as playable or partially playable

[dense jetty]

it's fully playable, just has some bugs (as in all playable games, as I understand it)

this needs to be updated

[sonic tulip]

playable would mean you can play the game from start to finish

[dense jetty]

yes, i can

[sonic tulip]

btw does this guide work with latest version of remix (v0.5.1)

its pretty old from 2022

[dense jetty]

guide now - just copy the remix runtime into the game folder (1.2, from steam/gog), and add d3d8.dll and probably my rtx.conf to game folder

Lightmaps and screen space culling can be deleted with a game mod

[sonic tulip]

any general issues with remix, game/lights culling etc. you want to point out

any wrappers used

[distant leaf]

I'm not sleeping?

[distant leaf]

I'll try to do a logo tomorrow if i'm will be in mood, i'll do it in 2 styles:
1 - Mafia Remake style
2 - Mafia Original style

MAFIA
REMIXED

по идее должно будет выглядеть хорошо

[dense jetty]

я всеми руками за сохранение оригинального стиля

я не буду делать из игры ремейк

[distant leaf]

Это понятно, просто есть логотип в стиле Ремейка, но с приписью оригинала

но раз так, то я сделаю лишь в ориг. стиле

Аврора в путь

[distant leaf]

Tomorrow.....nice joke from me

[distant leaf]

i'll try it

[distant leaf]

@dense jetty без всяких споров, я поражён

[cyan raptor]

вылетает при запуске(((

[distant leaf]

Уверен что всё верно выстроил?

[cyan raptor]

Вроде того

Удаление и установка по рецепту пашка помогла 🥰

[narrow drift]

Hi everyone, I'm starting to learn Remix and I choose this game. I succeeded to work Remix on that game it wasn't easy. 🤣

[distant leaf]

i dunno, was easy to me

i just followed insturctions and it worked instantly

[cosmic bronze]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/mafia-the-city-of-lost-heaven-rtx/downloads/mafia-the-city-of-lost-heaven-rtx-01

[cosmic bronze]

@narrow drift Can you show examples of your work? Some screenshots...

[narrow drift]

Nothing really, Yesterday night, I suceeded to work the Remix Runtime.

[narrow drift]

I had some fun, recreating the floor material and light in the menu scene

But now in Runtime, my floor disappeared

[narrow drift]

FYI I found the issue ;P

[narrow drift]

Update on One of the texture (I just work on the displacement and Albedo, didn't touch the roughness [WIP].

I will need to rework on the UV of this mesh and maybe adding polygon on it

[narrow drift]

UPDATE
I modified the UV of the asset. And fixed a few thing on the textures. Also I decreased the resolution 2k to 512

[spare token]

Why would you decrease the resolution?

[narrow drift]

To get a buffer in memory. If all the texture in 2k it's gonna be heavy for the card. If at the end, I have a budget I could increase it later.

Also, I'm adding 3 new textures (Normal, Roughness and Displacement)

Original 1x126 vs REMIX 4x512

[spare token]

512 is way too low tho

[narrow drift]

I know, maybe I will increase it to 1k later

[spare token]

Also judging by what ive seen, remix doesn't seem to be using that much VRAM

(unless we are talking a 2060 laptop gpu)

[narrow drift]

no I have a RTX4060TI

[spare token]

How much vram does it use?

[narrow drift]

56% percent for now

[sonic tulip]

16gb one?

[narrow drift]

no the 8gb

[sonic tulip]

ah

right now my best advice would be to use at least 1k texture set. 512 does seem too low imo

[spare token]

Im pretty sure remix manages texture resolution automatically

Or something

I forgot

[sonic tulip]

Also when you add up height maps, normal, roughness etc remix does handle it pretty well

[cosmic bronze]

@narrow drift colors look strange, like you used yellow photo filter

[sonic tulip]

Maybe it's tone mapping

[cosmic bronze]

Yes, most likely it is.
It's look unrealistic and wierd

[distant leaf]

Mafia: Mexico

[narrow drift]

@cosmic bronze @distant leaf The lighting is like that when I take the screenshot with the runtime. But it's not like that on my screen.

[cosmic bronze]

🤔

[narrow drift]

It was maybe my fault, I played with the sky tuning. Here's an update:

[narrow drift]

I mess with the railroad texture. But you only see clearly the displacement with a different sky dome.🤨

Here's the screenshot in game: I can't have any reaction on my roughness map..

[viral fable]

@dense jetty where exactly do you put the rtx files

[dense jetty]

to the main folder where all the dll and files A1.dta, A2.dta and so on are located

[viral fable]

alright

and i need a dx8 wrapper?

[dense jetty]

you need this and remix runtime, nothing more

[viral fable]

alright

my screen is stuck on this

nvm

had to set ui

[dense jetty]

in the game folder there is setup.exe, compare the settings there with those in the header of this chat

[viral fable]

installed all of these it just crashes for me

[sonic tulip]

dayyum 🔥

[dense jetty]

what gpu do you have?

[viral fable]

4070

[viral fable]

@dense jettyim gonna assume there is no way to turn off culling entirely btw

[dense jetty]

game engine modification needed

[viral fable]

damn

how easy is the game to modify

like the engine itself

[dense jetty]

you need to be a good reverse engineer, know how assembler works and know c++ to make a patch

[viral fable]

damn

is it open sourced at least or nah

[dense jetty]

of course not, you live in a rainbow world, the game is from 2002 and I think open source didn't exist at all back then

[viral fable]

i dont live in a rainbow world, meerly asking questions of importance 2000s games sometimes had open source, like rtcw

would rather know than assume

[sonic tulip]

A direct patch would be nice as well

[obsidian flower]

Anyone else getting these white textures everywhere?

[dense jetty]

Yes, the white textures are lightmaps. You can mark them as lightmaps in alt+x, or make a mod to remove the lightmaps, or you can just download my mod from moddb. There's a "missions" folder there, these are all the location files with the lightmaps removed

https://www.moddb.com/mods/mafia-the-city-of-lost-heaven-rtx/downloads/mafia-the-city-of-lost-heaven-rtx-01

I also recommend opening the game settings and turning off shadows, they create artifacts

[desert axle]

Does the Capture option in Mafia in RTX Remix work for you? Because mine isn't working, I keep getting 0%:

[viral fable]

Works fine for me

[brazen ore]

check your raytracing option in rendering.Judging by the background, its off. you cant take a capture when you are in raster

[desert axle]

Thank you, it works. I turned off Raytracing because in version 0.1 the mod from ModDB looks ugly and I only get 15 FPS on my RTX 3060 12GB card. I didn't know that it prevented Capture, I tried to solve the problem through ChatGPT, but it didn't tell me that.

[pseudo vigil]

Where did these came from? They fix the not having smooth normals problem I was having in LOTR:ROTK

But I don't know what it does differently from the other wrappers

[dense jetty]

:D

[dense jetty]

[median pond]

How to fix this?

[obsidian flower]

that looks like a hardware issue

[median pond]

new 5070, and its not appears in other games, even on garrys mod rtx, gta 4 rtx and etc

Only in mafia rtx

maybe add new rtx remix or reinstall drivers?

[dense jetty]

What mod did you use? From moddb without changes?

[median pond]

Yes

[dense jetty]

Check the settings in setup.exe, run setup.exe and the game as administrator

[median pond]

i can't turn off W buffer

[dense jetty]

Why is your setup.exe in English, but the game is in Russian? I don't think you're using the Steam version, попробуй другой репак скачать)

Also try using windowed mode

[median pond]

In game files i have 2 setup exe
