I. Requirements
--------------------
You need Mafia and the DataXtractor installed (v1.0 or 1.1).
--------------------
II. Installation
--------------------
The installation archive is a SFX RAR so it would be as small as possible.
Use the DataXtractor to patch the game so it will be able to read the mod. Then choose a sky you want to see in FR. Copy the .exe of the selected sky to your Mafia installation directory and execute it, or just execute it and indicate where the Mafia installation directory is located. This will create a directory called 'maps' with some files in it in your installation directory. Start Mafia and enjoy the new view!
NOTE: some skies only work at night and others only at daytime.
--------------------
III. Switching skies
--------------------
If you somehow get bored with the sky you currently have installed, you can change it easily. Just execute the .exe of the sky you want like explained above and overwrite the existing files.
Deleting the directory 'maps' in your Mafia installation directory to reset all to default. Then why is there a default sky executable? you might ask. Well, I added this for those who would like to help with the mod to better understand how it's done.

IV. Help requested
--------------------
This Mod isn't finished! But I'm going to need some help to finish it.
Requested skills are:
- knowing how to change the sun's position so it will be on the right spot again (so far I've just disabled the sun's effects so there wouldn't be two of them)
- knowing how to change the overall lighting. Some skies give a nice effect but they just don't really work with 100% light. This has to be changed somehow. Capone (editor) has said not to support this :(.
