RedHook is a ScriptHook for Red Dead Redemption PC port.

My documentation is available here.

RedHook SDK can also be found on my github.

• What is RedHook ?

RedHook is a ScriptHook for Red Dead Redemption on PC, which includes a trainer. It allows modders to create their own scripts without worrying about implementing their own native invokers, native lists, hooks, memory patches & more.

• What unique features does RedHook offer ?

RedHook features a modern looking console UI to easily reload/unload scripts on the fly, and also includes an extended list of natives and a large panel of exported functions.

• What is RedHookSDK ?

RedHookSDK is the Software Development Kit for RedHook, providing an example mod for Red Dead Redemption using C++ 23. Basic programming knowledge is of course needed for creating mods.

• How do I install RedHook ?

Simply drag and drop all files (winmm.dll, RedHook.ini, RedHook.dll) into your Red Dead Redemption folder, then install some RED plugins of your choice, launch the game and enjoy. Be sure to have a fresh install, we're not officially supporting other mods, even if they should work properly in most cases.

• What file extension do RedHook plugins use ?

Since version 0. 2, RedHook plugins use the .red extension. This distinguishes them from other ASI plugins that might be incompatible with RedHook. ASI plugins are still supported has an option available in RedHook.ini but this is not officially. (That mean it could not work properly when trying to load ASI plugins)

• What is a RED plugin ?

This is the exact same as other mod using ASI plugins, the name has been changed for the purpose of not clashing with other mods using ASI extension.

• How to open RedHook Console ?
