Mafia (Windows)

Mafia
Also known as: Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven Developer: Illusion Softworks Publishers: Gathering of Developers, 2K Games (Steam, GOG) Platforms: Windows Released in US: August 27, 2002 Released in EU: August 28, 2002 This game has unused code. This game has a hidden developer message. This game has unused modes / minigames. This game has unused models. This game has unused cinematics. This game has unused sounds. This game has unused text. This game has regional differences. This game has revisional differences. This game has a prerelease article

Oh dear, I do believe I have the vapors. This page contains content that is not safe for work or other locations with the potential for personal embarrassment. Such as: An image of the fully naked Playboy model and actress Petra Verkaik.

To do: Add more pictures for the secret cars, create a section for the unused characters, and the unused Racing mode. Also, make the page suck less. Add full audio of Czech question news announcement. Subquest info.

Mafia follows the tale of taxi driver Tommy Angelo in the 1930s as he takes an offer he couldn't refuse. Despite looking like something that could be called a GTA-clone, it actually succeeds to be its own thing as it focuses more on realism, has a very deep story, a world with many details, and impressive hardware-demanding graphics for its time.

Unused Scripts

Racing Mode

To do: Add the memory address for the multiplayer menu and put screenshots.

While the console versions had an exclusive Racing mode absent in the Windows version to compensate for the lack of Free Ride Extreme, the Windows version actually has the mode but dummied out. According to developers, it was cut due to lack of time.

It is possible to unlock it by renaming the file mainmenurac.mnu to mainmenu.mnu. These menu files are in the tables/menu folder after extracting from the file a8.dta, and works only in version 1.1 and later. However, it's still accessible in 1.0, but it's harder to access it (by HEX-editing files or memory editing). The Racing menu in version 1.0 had Multiplayer inside, which was fully working and playable. Multiplayer is disabled by default but can be accessed only in version 1.0 by modifying game files or through memory editing. This was removed completely in later versions of the game.

Unused Debug Message

A message "GALXIAN BEST ARCADE FOREVER!" is supposed to appear when the debug console is opened. Because the debug console has been removed from the final game's files it goes unused.

Biff Subquest

Inside the code for the mission Better Get Used To It are some hidden lines with a deactivated script, when you activate it, Biff only says in Czech "Slyšel jsem, že tvůj kámoš dobře řídí." That means "I hear, your buddy is good in driving". In the final game, this mission has no subquest.

Body Carrying

The player could at one point carry the bodies of their enemies. It can be re-enabled with slightly buggy animations.

Unused Audio

Sound	Name	Subtitle
	00010010	Hello to all in Lost Heaven listening into our station.
	00010020	It's 30th September 1938 and it's a beautiful sunny day.
	00010030	We've just received some important news.
	00010040	The British Prime Minister Chamberlain has just returned from talks with Hitler about the future of Europe
	00010050	and has made a statement on the Czech question. Listen to his words:
	00010060	How horrible, fantastic, incredible, it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a far-away country between people of whom we know nothing!
N/A	N/A	I would not hesitate to pay even a third visit to Germany, if I thought it would do any good.
	00010080	Armed conflict between nations is a nightmare to me; but if I were convinced that any nation had made up its mind to dominate the world by fear of its force, I should feel that it must be resisted.
	00010090	Under such a domination, life for people who believe in liberty would not be worth living;
	00010100	but war is a fearful thing, and we must be very clear, before we embark on it, that it is really the great issues that are stake.
	00010110	It doesn't look like he's made the Czechs too happy.
	00010120	Well, let's move on to something more light-hearted.

Unused Cameras

There are five unused onfoot cameras which except for the first appear to be buggy first person variants, the first is a slightly different version of the default camera. The one and only unused camera for driving is interestingly enough a top down view.

Unused Locations

Better Get Used to It Alleyway Entrance

There appears to be a small hallway that was connected to the alleyway in Better Get Used to It mission.

Omerta Airship

A cut interior seemingly meant for the cutscene where Frank leaves.

Pompeii Bar Interior

A cut interior for the Pompeii bar meant for a cut subquest during the Priest mission.

Unused Cutscenes

In Creme de la Creme, Morello has two possible destinations when chasing him, both on the countryside; going to the airport or stopping at a bridge, during this cutscene, instead of going to either location, Tommy follows Morello to his house in Oak Hill and then gets killed with Sam and Paulie by the gangsters. In the actual game, there's no way to make him go there, he always drives through the countryside.

There are two victory cutscenes for the cut racing mode. These cutscenes are only available on the PS2 and Xbox versions of the game.

Cut Boxing Mission

To do: Add the missing boxer models such as Boxer02.4ds and Boxer05.4ds and a loading screen image for the mission located in a file l_morello.tga.

There are leftover props from the cut boxing mission which can be found outside the boundries of the You Lucky Bastard mission, as well as the unused character models in the game files wearing boxing gloves.

Unused Vehicles

Hidden in the game's files are a lot of unused vehicles. Many of them display the wrong shadow (using the racing car's one instead) and are a bit glitchy.

Unused Vehicles
Cars - Filename	Front Pic	Rear Pic
Sidecar Bike - 9motorka.4ds A sidecar bike. It's a bit glitchy and hard to drive.
Bigfoot USA Flag - bigfoot.4ds A Bigfoot with a USA Flag Texture, based on the Bolt Model B. It was brought back for the console ports, where it's drivable in the Racing and Freeride modes.
Bigfoot - bigfoot00.4ds Same as above, but with normal texture.
Beatle Custom - brouk00.4ds A red beetle, probably a Volkswagen Beetle inspired car. It has some variations with untextured parts and a bit different model.
Bulldozer - bull00.4ds A yellow bulldozer. If it was used, it most likely could have been found in the yard near Hoboken.
Bus - bus00.4ds A white bus, most likely made by Bolt (since it's inspired by Ford buses).
Panzer/Military Tank - panz.4ds A tank. Very unfinished: it doesn't have any textures, plus you can't steer at all (read: straight-line driving only). Probably replaced by Black Metal in the final game.
Toyota RSC - toyota00.4ds The Toyota RSC concept car; most likely a placeholder since it doesn't fit with this game's 1930s setting.
Tractor - traktor.4ds A 1930's tractor. It's a bit hard to get into; in fact, you need to "enter" from the rear wheels.
Xeon - xedos00.4ds Mazda Xedos, in red color. Yet another real-life early 2000s car that was most likely used as a placeholder.
Tram (ONLY VISIBLE IN CARCYCLOPEDIA) - Salina.4ds The same tram is seen during the normal game. As the name says, it can only be seen in the CarCyclopedia.
Steamroller - valec.4ds An untextured model like Panzer, but it's driveable. Like Bulldozer, it most likely could have been found in yards.
Damaged Volkswagen Jetta (ONLY VISIBLE IN CARCYCLOPEDIA) - jettad.4ds Damaged Volkswagen Jetta model. It can't be driven.
Mutagen FWD "Drag Version" - cord_cabriolet00.4ds It's a Mutagen FWD based on Thor 812 Cabriolet. Due to its form, it's like a Drag Racing Car.

There's also many truck models unused in the game's files.

Unused Truck Models
Cars - File name	Front Pic	Rear Pic
truckbxx00.4ds It's the truck from the mission Just For Relaxation , with the "Atlantic Import" mark on it.
truckbnajezd.4ds It's similar to the previous one, with a glitched "ghost" ramp on the back.

trucksplachtou.4ds Bolt Truck Covered with glitched bars.
formulatruck.4ds It's the truck used in Free Ride Extreme, in three locations marked on the map. Ramp is added for the mission itself. Carcyclopedia only.

These vehicles are intended to be used during FMVs.

Unused FMV Vehicles
Cars - File name	Front Pic	Rear Pic
FMVanimTruckB00.4ds The truck used in Trip To The Country.

There are also some early cars, which have some extra features:

• They can be driven only if you replace them. You cannot enter them without this method.

• They have different reflections (similar to those seen in pre-release screenshots of the game).

• You need to change gears manually, even if the gearbox is automatic.

• Tommy is placed in the middle.

• Some models are slightly bigger than the final ones.

"provoz" means "traffic" in Czech.

Early Vehicles
Cars - File name	Front Pic	Rear Pic
bugatti.4ds Carrozzella C-Otto 4WD Blue, with different wheels.
buik4_PROVOZ.4ds Wright Fordor LightBlue (not driveable).
bus10.4ds This is an early version of the Bus, recognizable by its shiny reflections.
chema64_PROVOZ.4ds Schubert Extrasix Green
duesenberg.4ds Trautenberg Racing
fordt2.4ds Bolt Ace Tudor Blue with different wheels.
fordt2_PROVOZ.4ds Bolt Ace Tudor Blue with glitched wheel textures.
hud01.4ds Guardian Terraplane Fordor Cream with different bumpers.
hud02.4ds Guardian Terraplane Fordor Cream. This one's almost similar to the final model.
miller.4ds Brubaker 4WD
merced500k_PROVOZ.4ds Celeste Marque 500 White, with no spare wheel (not driveable).
speedster_PROVOZ.4ds Bruno Speedster 851 White, with different bumpers and rear plate position.

Swapping an undrivable vehicle with traffic models, you can find the reason why it is not possible to drive them. The wheels are not aligned and attached to the car. When the driver steers, the wheels assembly "steers" away from the car model. Also, the rear wheels can move, but those are stuck in the ground.

Easter Eggs

Civilians With Dog Heads

While walking around the city during free-roam, there is a 0.02% chance for the game to spawn a random civilian with what appears to be a pitbull head on each new ped encounter. Chance value can be changed by using a HEX editor and opening a game executable file with it.

Location: Address in 1.2 version of Game.exe: 45844C - EAX value (1388 in HEX is 0.02% chance, 0 is 100% chance).

Address in 1.2 version in memory: 45844D (4bytes) (value 1388 in HEX is 0.02% chance, 0 is 100% chance).

Notepad Developer Secret Message

In the last cutscene where Tommy is in jail, there is a hidden developer message on a notepad texture. Due to low quality of the original texture, it is very hard to determine what is exactly written, but some text can be still approximately transcribed.

Dearest, We're moving. We've packed all of our paper in old cardboard boxes we scrounged up from behind the local supermarket.

Revisional Differences

English v1.1

• Bink Video logo added to startup.
• A cheat code is added which increases rendering distance (cumdal).
• An easter egg functionality near the Freeride Downtown start point is removed, the audio file that would play is not.
• The cheat for unlocking all cars now actually unlocks all cars.
• Some fonts are different.

v1.0	v1.1

• Car images are added to the car selection menus.

v1.0	v1.1

Fairplay

• The race section of the mission Fairplay (06-03), which is notoriously hard for some players, had in the initial release a specific difficulty set to the opponents' AI, which after player feedback, it was reduced in a patch. A selection screen before the race starts was added to allow the players to freely choose the opponents' AI difficulty from Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard and Extreme and if vehicle damage is ON or OFF (v1.0 had it permanently ON), this selection screen was carried to the console ports.

• Developers also added one collision to fix the "shortcut bug" which was exploitable for fast and easy way to beat this racing mission in v1.0.

English v1.2

To do: Fricken everything.

Digital releases

Licensed Music Removal

The game was re-released in 2017 on digital stores such as Steam and GOG, in them, all the memorable music tracks from the 1920s that used to play in various areas of the game and were done by real-life artists were removed, likely due to expiring licenses.
