Armadillo Restoration Community Project aims to deliver new map enhancements to Armadillo in Red Dead Redemption 2 once all knew where it all began in the original game. This project features lots of changes to attempt to make the town feel more like the original town in 2010’s predecessor, these include removing all the bonfire pits and cholera posters, in addition to making new updates to the law system, adding new lighting and much more. Everyone has worked very hard to deliver on this mod, a lot of sweat and late nights went through making this. With the lack of tools available right now almost everything was done manually for weeks. It should be noted that this mod is no Map Editor or Rampage project, this modification utilizes the proper RAGE formats thanks to Lenny’s Mod Loader. Let’s dig into the features set out below – please send any feedback and bug reports, thanks for checking the mod out!

Mod Requirements and installation
Lenny’s Mod Loader Beta 8 (the current update is essential for the mod to work!)
ASI Loader
ScriptHookRDR2
Installing this modification is fairly straightforward. I’ve dedicated a lot of time making one single file to install rather than messing around with a bunch of files to install at a time. You’ll need to use Lenny’s Mod Loader Beta 8 in order to use the mod, you can download this here . Once this mod has been downloaded take Armadillo Restoration Community Project folder to the LML folder which can found inside the core Red Dead Redemption 2 game directory – please also have ScriptHookRDR2 installed, this is required to make a script disable the cholera dynamic events.
Thanks to these people for their huge collaborations to the mod development, this project wouldn’t be possible without any of these amazing folks:
@Blackjack420 – developed a new law system in Armadillo
@LMS – continuously assisted the project with any needs for Lenny’s Mod Loader and helped address the leftover bonfire pit collision
@Modifiver – creating the scenarios for Armadillo to make the town more alive + adding a Sheriff inside the town which allows for NPC’s to report crimes and removing all related sickness scenarios (future update)
@pariah87 – massively helped addressed the collision for the bonfire pits and also addressing an issue where the LOD for the Armadillo Train Station causes the removed doors to return if a player slightly distances themselves from the building (and also assisting QA)
@SgtJoe – creating 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 texture convertor
