[Tool] Red Dead Redemptions 2 Settings Parser

[f0rcefl0w]

Hey RDR2 PC community,

Just wanted to share a little tool I've made: RDR2 System.xml Settings Parser

It takes the settings from your system.xml config file, and parses them to a nice text block you can share online. Hope you find it useful!

I keep it updated for new RDR2 releases

Seen this over on Github, it's a cool little app to show your settings in a cleaner format.

Thanks for this, will keep it for myself when settings get reset.

@f0rcefl0w The minimum value the game sets for Grass LOD is 0.5 not 0.0.

Setting it to 0 (ini only) makes grass completely disappear.

I have a system.xml file from Version 35 and I've been struggling to replicate the same settings since the very first graphics settings reset. Can you make it compatible with that because it doesn't work.

Fixed that! Reload the tool and your XML should work Thanks for the bug report

Also fixed this - it's a small change, but that makes the percentage representation more correct. Thanks for the report!
