[Installation Instructions]

=======[DO NOT INSTALL VIA MOD MANAGER!]=======

======================================================================================================================
[ PREREQUISITES & REQUIREMENTS ]
IGNORE IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THESE DOWNLOADED, THIS IS JUST TO INSTRUCT PEOPLE ON HOW TO INSTALL THE MOD FROM SCRATCH!
======================================================================================================================

- Set the game's rendering system to Vulkan
[Not doing this risks a lot of crashing!]

- Download Lenny's Mod Loader
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LML     [https://www.rdr2mods.com/downloads/rdr2/tools/76-lennys-mod-loader-rdr/]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Download Scripthook
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scripthook     [https://www.dev-c.com/rdr2/scripthookrdr2/]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Download either Online Content Unlocker or Version.dll
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Online Content Unlocker    [https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/1688?tab=description]
Version.dll     [https://www.rdr2mods.com/downloads/rdr2/tools/9-rdr-2-asi-loader/]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Download Red Dead Offline and the WhyEM's DLC RDO merge [They have important files this mod uses!]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red Dead Offline     [https://www.rdr2mods.com/downloads/rdr2/weapons/103-red-dead-offline/]
WhyEM's DLC (Red Dead Offline Merge)     [https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/671]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Place the Lenny's Mod Loader files in your game directory (The place where RDR2.exe is stored!)

- Place the Scripthook files in the game directory, like how you did with the LML files

- If you downloaded the Online Content Unlocker, place it in your LML folder
- If you downloaded Version.dll, place it in your game directory with the Scripthook files

- Place Red Dead Offline's files inside the LML folder

- Place the WhyEM's DLC RDO merge files in the LML folder, when prompted, replace everything it asks you to

======================
[ INSTALLATION PROPER ]
======================

- Download ONE version of Smoak's Mega Arsenal from Nexusmods (I mean, I'd hope that's how you got this file anyways.)
[As in download the Standard version, the Apocryth Maverick Cut, or the Lite version.]

-Unzip the folder to your desktop, and pick between either the DEFAULT VERSION or the LASSO ON BELT VERSION [YOU ONLY NEED ONE!]
[The LassoOnBelt file makes it so you can have your lasso on your belt, like how you could in the first Red Dead Redemption.]

-Unzip the one you want and put the "Smoaks_Mega_Arsenal" file in your LML folder.

- Go to the LML mod manager and set this mod at the bottom of the load order. [IF IT IS NOT BELOW ANY OTHER MODS THAT EDIT WEAPONS, THIS MOD WILL BREAK!]
[This includes keeping it below Red Dead Offline, below WhyEM's DLC, below Maverick guns, EVERYTHING!]
[This is due to the fact that the lower on the list an item is, the higher priority it has when being loaded in.]

- Do NOT delete random files from this, it will break parts of the mod!
- Do NOT fiddle with the files unless you know exactly what you're doing!

- I am not responsible for incorrect installations, crashes, or anything akin to that. 9 times out of 10 you likely didn't install the files correctly.

- Note, the weapons are not broken if they don't all show up at the fence. You need at least one copy of the original gun before the variants unlock at the fence.
[The weapons unlock as you progress the story. The Navy Revolver and Improved Bow unlock in Chapter 3, while the Elephant Rifle unlocks in Chapter 4.]
