📋 About This Mod

Red Dead Radio

Installation:

- Install Alexander Blade's ScriptHookRDR2

- Extract "Red Dead Radio.asi" & "Red Dead Radio" folder in to your Red Dead Redemption 2 game folder (where RDR2.exe is located at)

How to use:

Add . MP3 files in to either of the folders found in "Red Dead Radio" folder.

(there is currently a bug if music isn't found in a folder.

The bug causes the radio wheel to flash. I have provided a music file for each folder though)

If you want to rename your music folder make sure to also rename the path in Red_Dead_Radio.ini file found in

"Red Dead Radio" folder. The "Red Dead Radio" should better not be renamed.

When in-game, you can access Red Dead Radio by riding your horse, a wagon or being in a train.

Keyboard & Mouse: Hold T to open the radio wheel, then use the mouse to select a radio station or turn the

radio off. Press ENTER to skip current track and left/right mouse clicks to adjust the volume.

Controller: Hold RB + X to open the radio wheel, then use the left analog stick to select a radio station or

turn the radio off. Press down the left analog stick to skip current track and use the left/right arrows to

adjust the volume.

Media Player Mode:

If you want to listen to music while being on foot you can enable the "Media player mode". To do

this, open "Red_Dead_Radio.ini" file and set the "media_player_mode" value to "true".

Description:

Red Dead Radio is a mod which adds a functional radio wheel when the player is riding

a horse, driving a wagon or is on a train. This will make it easy listening to music

while riding across the map and kill boredom.

This mod was requested from the Discord user "archer".
