    Well, I myself haven't been using TTO extensively but in the brief 30m test that I did of 2.0 there were no issues with trolley spawns or any other spawns in general. Since our testing methods are not very developed as far as I can tell it should be fine, but in all honesty I just dont know. I won't be using TTO personally but just because I don't really care about the higher texture resolution but that is a completely subjective opinion.
  2. Chunk the chump
    just because something is higher resolution doesnt mean that it's better. I believe these are done completely by AI and are shunned on modding discords.
  3. Chunk the chump
    what we think right now as "bad compression" is the A8RGB8 or whatever textures compression. what a great post I think we can just link to this from now on every time someone brings up ''spawn fix''
  4. Chunk the chump
    Do you think a room is clean if you sweep all the garbage under the table? What if it starts coming out of the other side once its full?
  5. Chunk the chump
    How would you be able to tell if the stem of your issue is fixed if the mod literally forces peds to spawn on the places where we usually test this? You do know, that the issue is not just that train/trolley peds do not spawn, right? That is just an easily measurable symptome of the problem we utilize in absence of fully comprehensive testing methods. Hiding an issue does not equal a fix. How do you know that by forcing high priority spawns on scenarios which should be low priority by default doesnt create more agressive culling for peds or events elsewhere? And regarding TTO. have you tested the newe version of TTO with <StreamingFiles>CityTextures</StreamingFiles> <StreamingFiles>TerrainMainTextures</StreamingFiles> <StreamingFiles>TerrainPlacementTextures</StreamingFiles> in the install.xml instead of filereplacement? Because I have been testing that and it acts exactly the same. so that's 20gb of STREAMING textures without spawn issues. Streaming does not create spawn issues. In fact I would ventrue to saying that nobody even knows what the difference is between streaming and filereplacement inside lml besides the name. Nobody knows if vfs.asi is acting any differently in regards to the method you use.

    Hi, I know there are a lot of misinformation going around with Streaming Vs FIlereplacement right now, and some of it can be contributed to me as I was a believer at some point that streaming indeed can cause issues, but it seems like that is not the case. I will have a video about this in the upcoming days to clarify things but for now please do not look to FIle Replacement as a definitive fix for any spawn issues if you have any. And also please please do not believe in these ''spawn fixes'' made by syyke, those mods break the game more than anything else by forcing peds to spawn of trolleys and trains. This does not fix any issues if your game is struggling with ped culling already. The author employs heavy censorship in the nexus modpage, deleting every negative comment essentially tricking people to believe that the mod is amazing and better than in reality. Right now the more educated part of the modding community thinks that the cause of spawn issues is incorrect texture compression method employed by a lot of authors in the past. For example the newest update of Terrain Textures Overhaul contain over 20gb of textures and they all work flawlessly without problems at least while testing for spawn issues in the short term.

    EDIT: this mod doesnt cause spawn issues, its fine
  9. Chunk the chump
    There are ways to test yes, but we cannot really give guarantees of what will or won't cause issues at this point. Some people think it's streaming, some think its strictly .ytd (texture) files, nothing is comfirmed. I am not even sure if FileReplacement is really the answer that people are looking for as spawn issues can still happen with that. And we don't even know how Streaming differs from FileReplacement in a true sense....

    I understand your points and they are fair, I will just react o the thing you wrote about OCU LITE, it doesnt have online weapon support for 2 reasons: A. I didn't want to just shit all over energidaan's original work by uploading a mod that basically does the same as his (even if it's using vanilla assets). B. Some of the fixes for ambient sounds/ animations/ dialogues required me to disable online weapon sounds. so I could technically set up a working version with fixes, navy revolver for example wouldnt have any sound and I just didnt want that. Maybe with some audio hex editing skills this could be solved but I am no good at that and we dont have proper audio tools for RDR2. Ultimately its your choice of course and what is more important to you.
  11. Chunk the chump
    Awesome! I'm glad it worked out in the end. On another note if anyone wants to further optimize their game I released a light version of Online Content Unlocker Check the description if it fits your mod needs. You wouldnt think at first that most MP dependant mods dont need much at all, so I cut down the things OCU enables and I also fixed some animation/sounds/dialogue issues that are present when using the og version of OCU. Check the mod on nexus and there's a video of the fixes. Currently does not support online weapons, so no RDO. https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/5304 and here is the video of the fixes:
  12. Chunk the chump
    Yes, of course its possible. All a_c_horse........ .ymt would go into update_4.rpf\x64\packs\base\data\metapeds\metapeds.rpf\ which looks like this when mounted: update:/x64/packs/base/data/metapeds/metapeds/
  13. Chunk the chump
    It's up ladies and gentlemen! Largest part of the video tackles install.xml optimization. Hope you'll enjoy.
  14. Chunk the chump
    I think that is pure speculation, as you just said there is no evidence of replacing the highest numbered update file not doing the job in fact I think replacing every file is probably gonna tax the game more memory wise so probably not advised.
  15. Chunk the chump
    Replacing the correct one is not that difficult, it should always be the highest numbered one, if its in update_1,2,3 etc then it will be update:/ If its in patchpack005 or something its gonna be dlc_patchpack005:/ just go for the highest numbered one BTW i will have my video about this and a full modding guide out early next week for anyone that is unsure of things. This part in particular is very detailed and I show the different ways you can do filereplacement
  16. Chunk the chump
    Codex is currently locked behind patreon, but its rather cheap. It's better than OpenIV by miles when it comes to RDR2 but I would only recommend it if you are actually a bit serious about modding. https://www.patreon.com/c/dexyfex/
  17. Chunk the chump
    It is indeed possible. Trains are unreliable anyway (most are scripted), testing trams and chickens is the best way (or find something else that is easy to reproduce on a constant basis). If you are getting 8/10 trams with people in St. Denis I'd say your game is stable at least when it comes to spawns. Those tram spawns are super low priority so if the game has memory management issues those will be heavily affected.
  18. Chunk the chump
    i think you should be fine with this mod list for sure. Even if you are streaming textures and not replacing. Although I am not sure how big is character's overhaul or how that would affect the game. But the ones in your modmanager are fine
  19. Chunk the chump
    thanks for the feedback, im really happy you made good use of the chicken method. Here is the save file I used btw: https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/3693
  20. Chunk the chump
    Hey lovely people, I wanted to shill my video on the topic here, hope its OK. I offer up a very good way of measuring the level if ''fuckiness'' your game is at currently with mods. Please watch it on 1.5 or 1.75 speed if you are interested in the topic because its incredibly BORING! you have been warned. Next part will be a modding guide for beginners and not-so beginners
  21. Chunk the chump
    Im not sure I undestand u correctly but every "update_1" "update_2".... etc should be just update:/xxxxxx/xxxxx in install.xml
  22. Chunk the chump
    Again, I understand what you are saying but I installed these mods specifically to break the game. I personally wouldnt play with whyem dlc or red dead offline just because of personal taste. But the thing is we really need some definitive way to break these spawns or how to break them because Im not sure what to do. Now I managed to break the spawns finally by mismatching some catalog settings first of all, then buying an invisible item from the trapper whyem wardobe menu, then I went ahead and died near a train, saved then reloaded the save and trains seem to be broken (used railroad enginner to track them because there is no other way I can think of right now, maybe thats also part of the problem. who knows at this point) FUnnily enough tram passengers are still spawning, so what the conclusion? That the whole thing is nonsense. PS: thats a huge amount of mods by the way that you are using im surprised that you are not having issues at this point :D
  23. Chunk the chump
    I understand where you are coming from, but let me rephrase the quesiton then. How do you actually MAKE the trains stop spawning? I have been experimenting with well over 100 mods now with WHYEM+RDO and Terrain Textrues overhaul just the ''normal'' stream setup and trams still have people, I still see roseta spoonbills, Trains are still spawning, I have been using railroad engineer to track them for now, and they are always there. All this with full vanilla gameconfig on a save that is not even new.... So how do I definitively stop trains form spawning then? What do I need to do? Tried completing a mission with this setup, save/load manually. I want to break the spawns in the game so I can have a test ground for repair but its impossible to do now for some weird reason
  24. Chunk the chump
    - double post
  25. Chunk the chump
    so the problem is again, how to reliably check for train spawns? Railroad engineer sometimes can track them, sometimes they lose track of them until you reload a save file... is that considered a train bug or railroad engineer bugging out? Scripted trains will always spawn, so for example when you load a save file near a station or when you are in a mission etc... these will spawn on a game that is heavily modded as well So what would be the best way to reliably track if we are getting spawn issues or not? rely solely on tram passengers? It's hard to tell what is a "scripted train" and what would be a normal train "in the wild". THis might be why sometimes people think that their spawn issues are actually resolved when it is not
