📋 About This Mod
ScriptHookRDR2 V2
The purpose of this project is to provide an alternative to Alexander Blade's ScriptHookRDR2 while maintaining the same API architecture and adding more features to it.
There is a bug in the current version of Alexander Blade's ScriptHookRDR2 that causes the game pools to reset in cities with a high number of objects and pedestrians. This issue is not present in ScriptHookRDR2 V2.
In addition, V2 includes a modern interface that allows you to manage your mods individually and add new ones without the need to restart the game.
I am planning on posting all kinds of mod development and research on RAGE.
