[PUBLISHED 20-10-2021]
[UPDATED 07-05-2023] Mod #56 is available: Back To School My Worst Day
[UPDATED 30-10-2021] Mods Sections: 55 Finished

MODS DOWNLOAD LINKS
  1. I tried uploading the mods on Moddb but so far they don't even allow my files at all.
  2. Anyway, if you want to download all the mods I'm using for this guide, checkout Darkje's guide here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=945164243
  3. Just scroll down and you will see the links he shared, all the mods I'm sharing on this guide are from the collection here
  4. It might take you guys some time to find the mods you want to test out though, just ignore most of the matrix mods (they are, most of the time, practically the same thing), you should look for something different
  5. The mods that can't be downloaded on Moddb are marked with (W.I.P), so just do yourself a favor and download the entire mods collection
  6. Keep in mind there are a lot of unfinished mods in the collection and their titles are all over the place so it will take time to sort through them

Check out my other guides:
  1. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2616843336
  2. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2609474753

  4. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2757157486


Check out the entire mods gallery: Max Payne Mods Playlist
  1. In this guide, for each mod, you will find mod overviews, download links and screenshots, and some features.
  2. The section numbers of this guide are just there to help me organize the guide easier, this is not a popularity contest, just a compilation of mods I would highly recommend people trying out.
  3. I will add as many images as possible to make sure everyone can check out the features of each mod before downloading.
  4. Some of the mods have their own ways to install, so I will add the authors' notes in the mod descriptions as well.

How to install Max Payne Mods
I'm using the mod Lightsaber as the example for this quick tutorial
  1. For each individual mod, the mod overviews link will take you to a page like this

  2. Same thing with the download link

  3. Once you finished downloading the mod, locate the mod files and extract them

Windows 10 Sounds x Widescreen Fix
Download link: https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/508-max-payne-sound-fix/

Download link: https://thirteenag.github.io/wfp#mp1

After downloading the widescreen and sounds fix, copy and paste the files to your steam Max Payne folder.

Steps to follow:
  1. Library / Home / Search "max"
  2. Right click on Max Payne / Manage / Browse Local Files

  3. - Copy the mod_title.mpm to the game directory, the mod_movie.bik to the movies folder
    - Copy and paste the files in the sounds and widescreen fix to the game directory


  4. When launching the game, pick the mod you want to play in Choose Customized Game, then press Play


Cheats:
There are a lot of unfair x unfinished mods in Max Payne so you might need to use cheats to get to the end of them

  1. Library / Home / Search "max" / Right Click max payne / Properties
  2. Type "-developer -developerkeys" in Launch Options of General tab

  3. Steam / Settings / In Game tab / change your screenshot shortcut keys to something different than F12
  4. In game (not in menu), press F12 to open the console, type in the following cheat codes:
    - god, getallweapons and getinfiniteammo to activate god mode, unlock all weapons and get infinite ammo for all weapons
    - In some mods, there are doors that will simply block your progress, to get past them, type in "noclip", once you're done remember to switch back to normal using "noclip_off"
    - Double press F12 to close the console and return to the game.

My account got hacked? What to do?
[UPDATED 15-03-2022]

Okay, my account recently got hacked by a Russian person. How do I know this? When I can't log in to steam yesterday after several attempts, I got suspicious, by clicking on I forgot my password, I saw my recovery email was changed to ****.ru.
Luckily, I was able to get my account back through Steam support and I will include this quick tutorial on my guides so everyone knows what to do and prepares for the worst. From what I've seen, a lot of people have become victims of these hacks recently.

This is my message to the unknown hacker:
"I know the war is affecting everyone in Russia, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, people also worked hard to have money to buy games just so they can get away from life for a little while.
- There are no excuses for your behavior, you just got greedy and want easy money. What were you trying to do? Were you going to sell this steam account to the highest bidder for some quick buck?
- If you ask people for help, just maybe, someone kind enough will provide assistance. But by trying to steal from others, you're just making it worse for your own people.
- You don't want to get isolated even more now, especially when you need help the most. So please be better and do something else, something productive with your life."


Anyway, let's get back to the main topic.
- STEP 1: Click on Help / Steam Support
- STEP 2: Choose My Account
- STEP 3: Choose Data related to your steam account
- STEP 4: Scroll down, choose Contact steam support
- STEP 5: Provide the details so Steam staff can help you out
  • You might want to provide more proof to the staff to prove you're the actual owner of the account.
  • In my case, I even made a 2nd account just to ask them for their assistance.
  • I got the password to log in to my account from steam directly, just 1 DAY, what a miracle. But that might not be the case for you, I know it sucks, but please be patient.

I GOT MY ACCOUNT BACK, WHAT TO DO NOW?
In this section, I will share with you what I do to protect my account. If you guys know more, please comment and let everyone know. I will include your name as the original author here.
  1. Click on Steam/Settings. Change your password, email contact address, add more security layers to your account.
  2. The passwords you change should be kept offline, you can write them down in a notebook or something like that.
  3. Delete auto-fill forms if you're using browsers like Chrome, Opera... to log in to steam. I used this to write steam guides but now no more. I think that was what got me hacked. I never clicked on any odd links sent by strangers and somehow, I still got hacked.
