Armadillo Restoration Community Project
The Armadillo Restoration Community Project introduces a series of enhancements to bring Armadillo back to the heart of the original title. This mod adds a wide array of features to make Armadillo feel like home again—a place where John Marston in Red Dead Redemption 2 can experience the town in a more complete and authentic way.
With over ten people involved in the project, we've spent many months developing this mod to revive the nostalgia of this beloved town for the community. One of the key updates includes restoring cut content, such as the now-accessible Armadillo Bank, which features open and close times that match how banks operate in the game. Additionally, the town is no longer littered with fire pits, and we've introduced new props and numerous other improvements.
Note, the entirely this mod was created with the game files. This is not a Map Editor or Rampage project; everything runs from Lenny's Mod Loader.
What are the features of this mod?
- You can now enter the Armadillo Bank, which includes open and close times from 8 AM to 2 AM.
- The town now features a working law system ported from Red Dead Online.
- Fire pits scattered around the town have been removed.
- Some debris props and other decals, such as vomit on surfaces, have been removed.
- The doors at the train station have been removed to match the original game's look.
- Updates have been made to the saloon, including cleaner floors (no vomit, shattered glass, etc.).
- New lanterns have been added to provide improved lighting during the night.
- Some dynamic events have been disabled (only the cholera-related ones).
- Cholera posters throughout the town have been removed.
- There are no damaged props (e.g., horse hitching posts, chairs).
- A new start-up screen video featuring Armadillo with improved scenery has been added.
