Armadillo Restoration Community Project (Rework) coming 2023, stay tuned for more!

Improved look of the town, plans to flatten the terrain across all the graves behind the town, no more bugs and other major improvements to come  

 

 

Armadillo Restoration Community Project delivers on a series of new enhancements to bring Armadillo back to the heart of the original title. This mod delivers on a vast number of features to make Armadillo feel like home again and a place where John Marston in Red Dead Redemption 2 can experience the state of the town in a better way. With over ten people involved with this project, we've spent many months delivering a mod to everyone in the community to bring this nostalgic town back to life. This mod includes new updates to bring cut content back into the game, one of them including the Armadillo Bank, now enterable with close and open times to match how the banks work with the game. Furthermore, there are no longer fire pits scattered all over the town and there are new updates to add new props and much, much more. All the features are outlined below, we hope everyone enjoys this mod - this isn't over yet. We have plenty of new updates to come in the months and years ahead. 

 

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, it also includes open and close times from 8AM-2AM
  • The town now features a working law system ported from Red Dead Online
  • Firepits scattered around the town are removed
  • Some debris props and other decals such as vomit on surfaces are removed
  • There are no longer doors at the train station in order to match the original game look
  • Some updates made to the saloon, such as cleaner floors (no vomit, shattered glass, etc)
  • New lanterns were placed to provide improved lighting during the night
  • Some dynamic events are disabled (only the cholera ones)
  • Choleras posters all over the town are gone
  • There are no damaged props (horse hitching posts, chairs etc)
  • Added a new start-up screen video featuring with Armadillo using better scenery  

 

Mod Requirements 

 

Installing the mod

Before installing the mod, make sure to have already installed Lenny's Mod Loader, the ASI Loader and ScriptHookRDR2. Please also make sure you're running from the latest version of Lenny's Mod Loader, some older versions may not work with this mod. 

 

  1. Navigate to your game directory
  2. Locate the folder 'lml', this was included with Lenny's Mod Loader   
  3. Copy over the Armadillo Restoration Community Project folder from the download into the lml folder

 

The installation isd now complete and you're now ready to play. Please report any problems to the thread for any issues. 

 

Thanks to these people for their huge collaborations to the mod's development, this project wouldn't have been possible without these amazing community members:

 

  • @bolmin  - Developed an ASI script to spawn a Bank Cashier and includes open and closing routines for the Bank in the town
  • @Blackjack420 - developed a new law system for the town
  • @dick hertz - Assisted with removal of smoke coverage above Armadillo and helped with Quality Assurance 
  • @LMS - This mod wouldn't be a here without LMS's work. Lenny's Mod Loader made this mod possible. LMS strived to help me and other people in the community in any way he could to make the mods the best they can be.
  • @Modifiver - created the scenarios and added a sheriff officer within the town, thus allows for NPCs to report crimes and removed all sickness related scenarios
  • @pariah87 - massively helped addressed the collision for the bonfire pits and addressed an issue where the LOD for the Armadillo Train Station can cause the removed doors to return if a player slightly distances themselves from the building (and also assisting QA)
  • @SgtJoe - developed a script to disable the dynamic cholera events in Armadillo 
  • @Senexis (Bob Ross) - providing a DataLines file for OpenIV to obtain object data in PSO files
  • FiveM Team - for the RedM texture conversion tool for RSC8

    Posted by VideoTech,

    With CodeX rapidly in-development, now allowing developers to properly edit the game, I will soon begin a rework of the whole project once new features are released. Excited to share more in the coming months ahead!

    Hi all!

    This is my first time playing RDR 2.

     

    Should I install this mod? Is this against the plot? This is my first run and I would like to keep my experience close to the plot.

    I'm not an expert on this mod but have used it for freeroaming after the main story quest was completed. I would imagine it affects the original story plot and perhaps the game file but I've only used it with a completed clean save.  This mod changes Armadillo quite a bit from the original singleplayer story version.  And a friendly reminder, don't forget to backup your game when modding.

    Thx for the answer. However, my game is not launching if I don't delete vfs.asi and version.dll - which are absolutely necessary to play with mods. My game version is 1436.28 - is this an older version? Do I need to upgrade the game?

    Unfortunately I'm not sure of the current version of the game as I don't currently play it or have it installed.

    What store did you buy the game from?  (Steam, Rockstar website, somewhere else?)  (You might ask about the current version on the Steam store discussion page for RDR2) 

    Are you trying to play with mods or just vanilla?  If vanilla version I would first verify the game files and after re-install the game if its still not working once the files are verified correctly.

    For mods I had been using Lenny's mod loader and only used a couple simple mods because for me modding made the game unstable.
