Bandit Hideouts is a standalone mod, it is a highly upgraded version of all the AMJM Transport mod bandit features, created by crossed99 and Gunter Severloh /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Warning - Before you install! For those installing the mod for the first time and want to also play the story/missions. So you understand what this mod does, it adds 135+ bandit hideouts and ambush points all over the map, thats everywhere and anywhere except towns (settlements). That means there are some hideouts that will spawn at story, and mission locations. There are also ambush points that will spawn bandits that may interfere with story missions, or while riding to them. There are also other bandit features like the bandit posse on horseback that will spawn and attack the player anywhere, anytime. That means they may come when your in the middle of a story mission, or traveling with another character from the story during a mission. If you do play the story and dont like the idea of hideouts, and bandits interfering during the story and missions. There is a Bandit_Hideouts.ini file included in the download, it is a configuration file that will allow you to configure every feature in the mod, this includes being able to disable the mod while ingame, or disabling certain features, hideouts, and ambush points that could interfere with the story. As said everything in the mod is configurable, it can be enabled, disabled, or adjusted if it uses numbers. Do not install the mod if you are not at least in chapter 2 of the story! Any questions or problems review the articles, or ask on the post tab! ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Features Bandit Hideouts The Bandit Hideouts mod adds many new hideouts across the RDR2 map for the player to discover and clear out. Each hideout ranges in the number of bandits, but you can define in the ini of the mod how many bandits a hideout will have, what gang will spawn there, and how many reinforcements will come if any, even if zombies will spawn there instead of bandits. Hideout Locations Map The hideout locations map is a high resolution map of the RDR2 world you can download and use it as a reference to see where all the hideouts, & ambush locations are at in the world. The legend on the map will tell you what region a hideout or ambush location is in, what gang is at each hideout/ambush point. All hideouts and ambush points are marked with a colored skull icon to represent a hideout, and an X to represent an ambush location, both a numbered and listed in the legend accordingly. Icons on the map will indicate their exact locations.

If you pass by a hideout without attacking it, the map blip (icon) will disappear once your out of range of the hideout. If you attack and clear the hideout then the blip on the map will be removed and your screen until the hideout timer is up. You can disable this icon if you wish through the included bandit hideouts.ini Default spawned in hideout map blip When a hideout spawns in, by default this icon will be showing on the map at the location of the hideout, the player has 3 other choices of map icons they can use if they want to change it which can be done through the ini Persistent Blip (icon) The Persistent blip icon will show on every hideout location on the map whether your near a hideout or not, if you clear a hideout the blip icon on the map will be removed until the spawn time for that hideout has returned. The persistent blip icons have their own icon type vs the one on screen. The icon can also be disabled in the ini, and only the blip icon of a hideout will show on the map when the hideout spawns in. Types of bandit hideouts Each bandit hideout can be a house, camp, cabin, abandoned building, cave, mine, fort, ruin, and other places. Hideouts will spawn bandits in by chance when you're nearby, this means that if set in the Bandit Hideouts.ini you set the chance to 100 then each time you come close to an area where a hideout would be then bandits will spawn there for sure, the lower the chance then it becomes random or less. Cleared hideout message A small feature by default is if you cleared a hideout a message will show on the screen saying "You have cleared the hideout!" you can disable this in the ini if you wish. Earn money from clearing hideouts! Yes you read that right, after killing all the bandits in a hideout, you will earn a random amount of money ranging from $25 - $150 You can customize the amount you want to earn in the ini or set it to 0 to disable it. Cleared hideout respawn Once you clear a hideout you can set in the ini the cool down of how long before they respawn again. If you set the respawn to 1 for example then in one hour from when you cleared the hideout bandits will spawn in again. Hideout bandit/gang types Each hideout will be populated with gang members for the area the hideout is in, for example: Valentine area will have O'Driscoll members or a generic gang. Lemoyne/ Rhodes area will have Lemoyne Raiders, and a generic gang. Annesburg area will have Murfree gang members. Saint Denis area may have either Nightfolk, or a generic gang. Tall Trees area you will see the Skinner brothers gang. New Austin area you will see the Del Lobo gang. Grizzlies West (snow region) area will have a generic gang. Grizzlies East (snow region) area will have a generic gang. Guarma will have the Cuban Army and Nightfolk. Disable individual Hideouts and Ambush points This feature allows the player to disable any individual hideout and ambush point in the mod through the included ini all you need to do is locate the hideout you want to disable through the downloadable map and then change the number from a 1 to a 0. There is a list for both hideouts and ambush points in the ini. Custom Gangs in hideouts Each hideout listed in the ini for the Disable Individual Hideouts list can either be disabled, or changed so it spawns another gang. The gang types to choose from are the following: // Gang Type Reference // Generic gang - 7 Murfree Brood - 8 Lemoyne Raiders - 9 O'Driscoll Boys - 10 Skinner Brothers - 11 Del Lobo gang - 12 Nightfolk -13 Cuban Army -14 Ku Klux Klan - 15 Wapiti Warriors - 16 United States Army - 17 Laramie gang - 18 Micah's gang - 19 Angelo Bronte's Mob - 20 Cornwall Goons - 21 Braithwaites - 22 Gray Family - 23 Foreman Brothers - 24 Bounty Hunters - 25 Pinkertons National Detective Agency - 26 Chelonians - 27 Vampires - 28 James Langton Boys - 29 Here is an example hideout in the ini that is listed in the Disable Individual Hideouts list: ENABLE_ABANDONED_FACTORY=1 - With the setting at 1 the hideout spawns its default gang. - With its setting at 0 the hideout is disabled and wont spawn. - If the number is changed to a number from either 7-28 seen in the list above, then that hideout will spawn that gang based on the number. For example if we changed the number to say ENABLE_ABANDONED_FACTORY=18 then the Laramies gang will spawn at that hideout instead of the default gang. Here is an article on how this works in more detail with a video demonstration/guide https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/articles/435 Custom Gangs in Regions A feature where you can define what gangs will spawn in what regions for hideouts, a list in the ini of all the regions or areas on the map, each region has a default number, the number represents what gang will spawn in that region. From the reference in the ini, you can change the number for the region for whatever gang you want to spawn at the hideouts in those regions. This feature is disabled by default. Exact or random number of bandits in a hideout The amount of bandits you can encounter in a hideout will be defined in the Bandit Hideouts.ini there you can set the minimum and maximum numbers you will encounter, this is for all hideouts. If you set the number for both min/max the same you will get that exact amount, if you set the number to exceed the default random min and max then the extra bandits will come as reinforcements. Bandit Reinforcements Bandits at hideouts can call in reinforcements, they will show up on horses and or on foot. Reinforcements is set by chance in the ini, the higher the percentage (chance) then reinforcements will show. Reinforcements also has a setting where you can define how many bandits will come, and if you only wanted bandits on horses, or foot, or both, you also can disable reinforcements from coming in the ini. Bandit Spawn Amount In the included bandit hideouts.ini there is a list called spawn amount, this list will list every hideout/ambush point and allow you to set a specific number that you want to spawn at a or each individual hideout. This lets you customize hideouts based on how you want to play. Each hideout and ambush point has a default or base number of spawn points you can use this article reference to get the base default number of each hideout: LINK Knowing the base number of a hideout or ambush point will tell you how many bandits can be spawned there. For example: If you chose a hideout that had 10 bandits spawn positions that means if you set the spawn amount to say 5 then only 5 bandits would spawn. If you set the number to say 15 then the extra 5 bandits would spawn at the reinforcement spawn points. The would respawn at the reinforcement spawn points because there are only 10 available spawn points at the hideout. The same applies to ambush points. Bandits will chase the player Bandits will chase you if you ride off or run away after attacking their hideout. Bandit Ambushes Ambushes are not dynamic they are built the same as hideouts and are at set locations. Each ambush location can vary between 2-6 bandits that will attack you on foot if you enter an ambush location. If you run away on foot or on horse the bandits at the ambush location will chase after you either on foot or get on a horse. Ambush locations are marked on the downloadable map with an X Enable/Disable individual Ambush Points This feature introduced in v1.18 gives the player the option to enable or disable an individual ambush location through the included ini, all you need to do is refer to the map linked for download and decide which ambush location you want to disable for whatever reason, you open up the ini file, locate the ambush point in the list, and just set the setting accordingly. Ambushes can also be customized to have a certain amount of bandits spawn using the spawn amount setting. Bandit Posse on Horseback As players explore the game world, they will randomly be attacked by bandits on horseback, these encounters can happen at any time. In the Bandit Hideouts.ini you can define how often (how many ingame hrs) bandits will attack, and a minimum and maximum number of bandits on horseback that will attack, you can disable this feature in the ini if you want to. Random Roaming Bandits Bandits roaming the world, they will spawn in the area you are in and will be bandit/gang members from that area so if your in Valentine Area then you might see a small group of O'Driscolls wandering around. These bandits may be on foot, on horseback alone, in a group, or on a wagon, or both. You can also set in the ini if they attack you on sight or not, and set how often they will spawn. Hired Gunmen Players can hire up to 9 gunmen to fight alongside them, to do so just talk to the barkeep in any saloon. These hired guns will assist the player in combat, making it easier to take on large groups of bandits or zombies. You can hire up to 9 gunmen at a time. You can hire a random gunmen with their own gear and weapons. You can customize what they wear, and the weapons they carry. Set how much it costs to hire a gunmen. Hired Guns will not fight while in a town (can change this in the ini). Story characters are also available. You can use the 'Rest & Recover' option in the menu that will teleport your hired guns to you in case you got separated, they'll be cleaned and their hats and weapons will be recovered if they lost them. They automatically go into "sneak and hold fire" mode while you're crouching / sneaking outside of combat. If the "Allow revive" option is enabled, instead of dying they will go down into an injured state and be revived by crouching close to their head until the 'Help' prompt fills up (10 seconds). Using the 'Wait for signal' command will make them stay and don't do anything until you signal to them by whistling. The 'Ride with me' command will prevent them from spawning in their own horse. If there's another free horse around they'll use that, but if not they'll ride with you on your horse. Commands menu: You can also give commands to them through their command menu, Numpad 1-9 keys by default. Hired Gunmen Voice Lines When you tell your hired gunmen to stay or follow, Arthur or John will actually say out loud those commands, and when your crouched and you tell your gunmen to stay Arthur or John will say it in a quiet voice. This feature can also be enabled and disabled in the ini, and is enabled by default. The command menu has some extra commands: Aim at person while the menu is up: Attack target, lasso target. Aim at dead / hogtied person: pick up target. Aim at horse: put carried body on horse. Aim at downed hired gun: help up (it'll take them the same amount of time as for you). Press numpad 0 to make all hired guns stay / follow Zombies As if bandits weren't enough to deal with, the mod also adds zombies to the game world. Disabled by default, you can enable them in the Bandit Hideouts.ini There are some options in the ini to customize them, like the following: Spawn frequency - this is how much more or less you will see of them. Day/night detection - this is a setting where you can set if the zombies detect you. Zombie health - this is how much a zombie can take before you kill them. Min/max spawn amount - this will be the group size of how many groups of zombies. Min/max number - number of zombies that can spawn during day or night. Min/max spawn time - how often they will spawn in seconds. Zombies burst into flames upon dieing. Zombie lairs - this will change all the bandit hideouts to zombie lairs, so instead of bandits spawning, zombies will. Customization All of the features in the mod can be customized by editing the Bandit Hideouts.ini file. Each setting in the ini has a description on what it does and how to enable/disable it or adjust it. Open the ini file with notepad to edit it, also run it as administrator if you are being denied access.
