Pearson’s Camp Upgrade isn’t enough! Arthur Callahan, Fenton and Tacitus Kilgore decided to upgrade Shady Belle Camp on their own. This is a personal map I created and should feel like the Gang has settled in Shady Belle. To those who are looking for Fancy Living this is not the map for you, use only in Chapter 4.
Requirements: Latest Version of Rampage Trainer
Installation: Download and Extract the zip file to “/<RDR2 Main Directory>/RampageFiles/Spooner/Autoload” folder. The file shady_belle_upgrades.xml should be in the Autoload folder. Rampage can Autoload multiple files so you can load multiple maps unless they are conflicting otherwise.
Features:
375 Objects Added around Shady Belle Camp to increase immersion and improve the overall setting of the camp (Mansion, Main Camp, Rear Part, Swamp Area etc.)
Added Perimeter Fence and Barricades in the Camp. There are now just couple of main entry points around the camp. Gang Members who have scenarios on the outskirt of camp will now need to use a longer path, same with Camp Guards. Though there is no game mechanic that utilizes Camp Defense outside scripted parts, overall the camp will feel more secure against Group Attacks (tried Shady Belle battle and didn’t see anything that breaks but let me know).
Improved setting where Gang Members usually have scenarios (i.e. added Rugs, Shade and Lighting in the area)
No Blocking of NPC Scenarios (spent lots of time and observed majority of the scenarios the gang members do and didn’t put stuff that blocks their actions and yes including Cain the dog)
Fixed the hole in the Wall of Marston Family Room
Fixed (kinda lol) the windows in Arthur Morgan’s room
If you have Mary Linton Joins the Gang, I’ve already added a bedroll besides Mary/your companion’s bedroll in Arthur’s room (it is unusable though so you need to use scenarios via trainer/mods if you want Arthur to lie down)
Added Quick Entry and Exit for Arthur Morgan’s room (ladder inspired from Shady Belle Rework for Chapter 4). You can use Ladder for both Entry and Exit while you can jump to the Wagon for even quicker exit without any injuries.
Added Low-lit Lanterns, camp-fires and Candles that improves Lighting in and out of the Mansion. Not to the point that it is overly lit, just enough for the Main Camp and Camp Guards during night duty.
Added Shades/Tent for majority of scenario location (not all!) that gang members usually sit and stand for a long time (Pearson’s bed now has shade too).
Added Rugs in the couple of places where Uncle usually Sleeps and Sits (should delay his Lumbago lol)
Added boards as pathway around the main camp.
Added some privacy curtains/make-shift door for the Ladies quarters.
Added Trees (including Dead, Fallen, saplings) and Flowers all over the camp
Added couple of Trunks and a Log that Arthur can interact with if you have Immersive Scenarios
Added Water Throughs for the Horses
Added bedrolls for Susan, Strauss and Pearson
Added Hitching Post in the broken structure in the rear area (this is where Micah usually is when missing in the main camp). You can store your horse here for shelter.
and many more props/objects to mention.. see Images section for some idea, I can’t mention and capture everything in text and screenshots so try to explore Shady Belle with this map and see the difference between vanilla
All LOD of the Objects are set to 150
tried to export to YMAP but there are buggy objects and Trees don’t get converted, you can try to convert it on your end
Shady Belle Extended Camp Upgrades (LOD100)
Extract Shady_Belle_Extended_Camp_Upgrades_LOD100.zip to “/<RDR2 Main Directory>/RampageFiles/Spooner/Autoload” folder (more performance friendly with less LOD).
