📋 About This Mod

-INFO-

I have added all the online variants to the single player to spawn with the SP wolves. These wolves 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 this does not effect the other wolves in game. This was a hard one to fix as the MP wolves file actually had visible errors not just that there was an internal error which links the wrong coloured pelts to the wrong coloured wolves. Believe it or not you can't do or change anything about this as the MP pelts are labelled wrong in the files. The only way to fix this is to extract the online pelts and changed the order of them without editing anything and now they work correctly. I'm not sure if the online wolves are actually miss placed or faulty as in wrong pelts in online but I have found an easy way to fix this were there's still no editing or swaps, just relabelling.

PREVIOUS UPDATE - IMPORTANT ERROR WOLF ON HORSE FIX

-NEW UPDATE-

I decided to do something special for the 3 online wolves added. There are 3 types of wolves in the game, you have the 'Timber wolf', the 'Grey Wolf' and the 'Small Grey Wolf'. The online variants are only the large grey wolf and not the small grey wolf, so they were only added to the main type of grey wolf. The small grey wolf actually has it's own file as it functions slightly different due to them being smaller and it turns out they use the same colour variant textures as the larger basic grey wolves in the game. So what I've done is made 3 small grey wolves, added them to the small grey wolf spawn cycle and made them use the texture of the online variants, this results in the wolves looking slightly lighter in colour as well as smaller. This gives you 6 in total online wolves added to the game as the large and small grey wolf. This makes more sense as there should be smaller versions as well of the online variants and with them looking slightly different, makes them new wolves to spawn also in the world of RDR2.

To test this I went to 'Hanging Dog Ranch' and if you ride along the trail towards and around there, you will experience wolves in a pack chasing you with the new small online variants sometimes being amongst them, it's just luck.

Be aware small grey wolves and larger grey wolves have pelts that are actually the same size when you hold them and put them on your horse as well as function the same. This is the case anyway as the difference is only really in the size of the wolf its self, this is how it's meant to be. (See End Pictures For Examples)

Thank you again for your support and hope you enjoy the added online small wolves, happy gaming.
