About this mod
NEW - UPDATE GIVES YOU FEMALE ONLINE BISON NOT JUST MALE. A simple mod that adds the online variants of bison to spawn with the SP bison in the world of RDR2. With working skinning animations and correct coloured pelts.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
-INFO-
I have added all the online variants to the single player to spawn with the SP bison. These bison now have working skinning animations with even correct coloured pelts. This is another way to add more content to your game and still have it blend into the world. Be aware that the SP legendary bison (Tatanka & White Bison) look similar to two of the online variants but please know there is differences such as the SP legendary buffalo are basically twice the size and the online white bison has slight brown to it and the black online bison has touches of white in places such as it's beard and around it's feet. This makes them two different to add, there is also a red/brown bison added as well. I added the 3 online bison twice mixed into the SP bison's mixed spawning. This is because in the game the SP basically has roughly 6 basic variants in game, so this just helps mix it up a bit. Also this is a simple mod that requires no textures or swaps or anything like that just follow the install instructions and you're good to go
To help people find the new bison you can find them at a reliable location in-between Beecher's Hope and Blackwater. What you can do is save at John's ranch and load in and you want to go to the 'L' in Great Plains on the map by Blackwater and there is always a herd there. My pictures are of the bison that spawn there, straight outside the ranch I experienced two new variants fighting. Be aware that sometimes you get none or one or two new variants or sometimes loads (I got loads of white ones mixed in at one point then one, so it's just luck).
-NEW UPDATE-
I decided to improve the detail in the world with the online bison added. The 3 online variants was original added twice each to help mix up the spawning, all the online variants are only male, not female. In the game the basic variants are mostly female, so what I've done is out of the 6 originally added, I changed 3 of the online variants to female. You now have a male and female version of each online variant that was added. This makes more sense now as you get to experience more variety as there would be male and female of the bison in real life. This is just an improvement on the attention of detail to the game without changing anything else and made the skinning animation for the female online variants work. Thank you for your support and I hope your happy with the result, happy gaming. (See End Picture For Example)
IMPORTANT - To use this mod you first need to install 'Online Content Unlocker' by 'EnergiDaan' from nexus mods to be able to use the assets within the game.
'Online Content Unlocker' - https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/1688
-IMPORTANT- DO NOT COMMENT ABOUT ONLINE ANIMALS PUT INTO ONE COLLECTION ON THESE MODS, READ AT THE BOTTOM FOR ANSWERS.
-INSTALL-
- First you need to install Lenny's Mod Loader correctly.
- Then you need to install 'Online Content Unlocker' from nexus mods to be able to use this mod.
- Then Just place the 'lml' folder in your game directory for your Red Dead Redemption 2.
-HELPFUL TIPS & DISCLAIMER-
- If you experience invisible animals it can be a number of things such as if 'Online Content Unlocker' wasn't installed or installed properly with the latest version, you will experience invisible animals as you are unable to use the assets within the game.
Also you need a somewhat updated version of the game for the files to exist that are needed to be able to use from within the game. (Be aware this does work on other versions of the game and doesn't need to be the most updated version).
Always use the updated version of the mod available.
- If you have downloaded multiple online animal unlocks, be aware if you want to organise all these animal unlocks in your 'lml' folder, you could make a folder in 'lml' for example and name it 'Online Animals Unlocked' and put all the unlocks within that and it will still work, if you wanted to keep your mods neat.
- Be aware if you experience in game the short version of the animations for these animals, please know you experience a short animation when ever the body of the animal is obstructed by another animal or object to be able to do the full animation. This is also the case with all the animals in the game as this I believe is to spare the player hours of having to watch what might look like misplaced and glitchy animations as they have no space to work, this is a feature of the game and is nothing to worry about.
- Please know these online animals are legendary and may have the right colour pelts and skins but know they are just classed as regular animals now and their pelts function just normal in game so function differently and the online legendary outfits would have to be added separately to the game.
- I am aware a few very rare people may experience invisible animals after following all the correct install instructions with everything set right. Unfortunately I am only able to fix issues I can find and I may not find the root cause for you. These mods I tried to make simple by design so that all they really do is unlock what's already there and make it function in game. The intentions with these mods are for enjoyment purposes and to get what I believe is your moneys worth of extra fun. I can't unfortunately take responsibility for these rare occurrences of errors unless I ever experience them for myself. As the mods are simple in their design and purpose so that unless it didn't work for everyone then it may be other issues resulting in this problem for you.
I'm sorry for this but the solution can't be to allow no one to download, so please use and download by choice knowing this.
-IMPORTANT- ONLINE ANIMAL UNLOCKS COLLECTION ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
I'm sorry for the inconvenience of having to download online animal unlocks or unlocks in general separately but please remember I share my work for free to help and it's a work in progress. I also like to help by answering and fixing mods individually as otherwise I'd have so many different issues or questions of different animals on the same mod, I'd also have to update the same mod way too many times, too often, this could be confusing for people. I would also not be able to offer choices or different versions or be able to offer help or extra info on certain ones that may require it. For these reasons a collection has not yet been made.
Please do not comment about why collection has not been done instead of how these mods are actually presented to you. The aim with these mods is to give total freedom how the user installs and how they organise there own mods. To download all online animal unlocks and make them into one mod as tested by me only takes a couple minutes to do of your time. Whereas if all these unfinished mods were put together as one package, it would mean you get one take it and leave it mod with no extra versions or ability of choice if other people wanted. It would mean I can't help or give advice on certain animals or mods that require help for some people as well as teach and explain best to everyone. This couldn't be put or happen on one mod and would no longer be simple to do for me. I would be overloaded with comments on one mod unable to help, I break these mods down for myself to do in stages, to help everyone including me. I would be unable to show valid pictures and examples as there'd be too many pictures on one mod which would stop my ability to do so or show improvements on online animals added such as extra female bison and online small grey wolves that even online doesn't get to experience. I wouldn't create these for people and have these creative ideas if I was constantly restrained from doing any more then the bare minimum just to save a tiny amount of your time.
I did not want to feel patronising to explain to those people who think it's obvious and know how to install and make mods work to have it in one. But If you can make these mods work and install them easily, then you should know and should of noticed I label the folders in each mod called 'stream'. I can actually call that folder what ever I want to and have it install that way but I do this so at a glance the user with this basic knowledge of mods can see which method the files inside install. Replaced files need different ways to be set up to install and need to be correct, but stream files take priority as they stream over the most current version. So that means all files in these folders could be put into one 'stream' folder of one animal unlock mod for example and you now have one mod for all your animals.
So because it is so easy to do that for yourself if needed, with there being absolutely no benefit or sense to make the mod that way for anyone if my goal is to try and help, I just can't understand the continuation of this question as it limits my help I can offer, makes it near impossible for me as well as it's stopping any creative ideas or improvements I can do. I can't allow this to happen as there just really isn't any need for it. What may seem like a slight convenience is actually a massive disadvantage because if I wasn't able to help people the way I wanted then there'd be no point me sharing my work. Please understand this as I shouldn't experience stress over this as I share these mods for free. Thank you.
