Debugging tips

• Logging: Add robust logging to files rather than only printing to in-game overlays.
• Safety wrappers: Protect calls into game engine with checks; missing pointers after a patch cause crashes.
• Incremental changes: Add one feature at a time and test thoroughly.
• Crash dumps: Use Windows crash dumps and debugger to inspect call stacks when crashes occur.
• Sandbox: Test mods in an offline save to avoid consequences to online accounts.

4. Why No Script Hook for Mafia: Definitive Edition?

• Unlike Unreal or Unity, the Illusion Engine is closed-source and unique to Hangar 13/2K Czech.
• MDE’s version is heavily modified from Mafia III and Mafia II: Definitive Edition.
