RDR2 Released Armadillo Restoration Community Project

[videotech_]

PLEASE UPDATE TO THE LATEST VERSION OF LENNY'S MOD LOADER (BETA 8), THIS IS REQUIRED FOR THE MOD TO WORK!

 

 

Armadillo Restoration Community Project aims to deliver new map enhancements to Armadillo in Red Dead Redemption 2 once all knew where it all began in the original game. This project features lots of changes to attempt to make the town feel more like the original town in 2010's predecessor, these include removing all the bonfire pits and cholera posters, in addition to making new updates to the law system, adding new lighting and much more. Everyone has worked very hard to deliver on this mod, a lot of sweat and late nights went through making this. With the lack of tools available right now almost everything was done manually for weeks. It should be noted that this mod is no Map Editor or Rampage project, this modification utilizes the proper RAGE formats thanks to Lenny's Mod Loader. Let's dig into the features set of this mod below - please send any feedback and bug reports to the thread as it helps improve, thanks for checking this mod out!

 

What are the features of this mod?

• A new working law system thanks to the courtesy of Blackjack420 
• Armadillo Bank interior is now enterable and restored
• All bonfire pits including smoke effects and decals have been removed, this also includes the LODs
• All cholera posters are removed all over Armadillo 
• Vomit and other debris decals have been removed across all surfaces
• Lots of new lanterns have been placed to provide better lighting, note this can be a performance hit, please send any feedback on this so I can adjust.
• There are no longer damaged props 
• Armadillo Train Station no longer features doors to match the original title
• There have been changes made to the Armadillo Saloon to sort out the mess on the surfaces
• Changes to the start screen video which no longer features the bonfire pits
• Some NPC's (Except Herbert Moon) have been switched to the Tumbleweed ones to remove all cholera dialogue
• Dynamic events relating to the cholera illness have been disabled

Installing this modification is fairly straightforward. I've dedicated a lot of time making one single file to install rather than messing around with a bunch of files to install at a time. You'll need to use Lenny's Mod Loader Beta 8 in order to use the mod, you can download this here . Once this mod has been downloaded take Armadillo Restoration Community Project folder to the LML folder which can found inside the core Red Dead Redemption 2 game directory - please also have ScriptHookRDR2 installed, this is required to make a script disable the cholera dynamic events.
