Play As Gang Members!

Yes you heard right, you can now play as all of the gang members in the Van Der Linde gang as well as Dutch himself.

What the mod does is change your player model from Arthur to for example Javier without the model script changes.

You can play like you normally would as Arthur without any trouble like not being able to autosave after completing a mission or the weird problems with the hair and beard when you play as a character during cutscenes.
(There's a tutorial on how to do that further down.)

Also Dead Eye works now



NOTE:

DELETE ANY METAPEDS FILES YOU SEE IN YOUR LML, THE MOD WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT IT.
(or shop items files if you want the hair and beards)




How to install

1. Start RDR2 and equip the brawler outfit, this will stop certain bugs from occurring, after you've done that quit the game and the installation can begin.

1. Download the file and put the replace and stream folders in lml

2. Now load up RDR2, load into story mode, save your game and then load your save that you just made, leave the game, then load in again and your arthur should be deformed, now using a trainer switch outfits and you should be your character without problems.
(If Arthur isn't deformed when you load in when doing the steps then you didn't do it right)

This can all be a little confusing so if you need help, ask me in the posts tab.

If you are still having problems with the installation, follow this guide instead
Install the mod, click the folder that says "Play As Gang Members 1.6" once you're in the folder you'll see a bunch of names corresponding to a certain gang member for example micah, click the folder that says micah. Once you've done that you'll see two folders, one that says stream and one that says replace put BOTH of these folders into your lml folder. Once you've done all of these steps, load into the game. Now load up RDR2, load into story mode, save your game and then load your save that you just made, leave the game, then load in again and your arthur should be deformed, now using a trainer switch outfits and you should be your character without problems. (You don't have to do the save and load part again if it worked, though you will have to do the switch outfits part everytime you start the game.)



Use any of the NPC Outfits!
(With a trainer of course) 

Use any trainer to change the NPC outfit and fix the arms bug when entering the game as your chosen character.





How to fix the weird beard and hair bug when entering cutscenes. 

OPTION 1

- Put the replace folder from the "HAIR AND BEARDS" folder into your lml folder (don't worry it won't effect the already placed replace folder)
-Load up your game (RDR2)
-Once it's loaded up go to the barber
-Choose the right parted hairdo, it's recommended to have a trainer so you can make the hair longer
-Switch the sliders from 1 to 7 and choose one you like
- As for the beards go to mustache options and choose Pencil Mustache
-Dial the sliders and choose which gang beard/mustache you want 
(More will be added later)
-That's basically it

(note that the "hair and beards" folder isn't a thing yet so it'll just be another replace folder with the character names right now.)




OPTION 2 

To fix this you need WhyEm's DLC to choose the hair option required to load the NPC hair.
(don't know about the beard yet so just keep that shaved I guess)

1. Once you have properly installed WhyEm's DLC, load the game up and go to any barber.

2. When you're in the barber, go to WhyEm's hairdos and choose The Kurt haircut, that's the one that works best.

3. Once you've done that, exit the game and remove WhyEm's DLC.

4. Once you've done that, load back into the game as your chosen character and the hair will be your character's hair in cutscenes.
(Make sure you've edited the NPC outfit in your trainer of choice first.)

5. You're welcome, have fun!
