🛠️ Module architecture
| Components | Features | Details |
|------|------|------|
| Load_bat.lua | Triggered when the game starts.vbs | Executed once per game session using RedLua |

📁 Archive location
Your game save files are located at:
`C:\Users\Your Windows Profiles\Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Profiles\Your Save Files (this number will vary)`
🚀 Installation Guide
- Put **Load_bat.lua** into the **RedLua\script** folder
- Copy the **Settings.json** and **Log.conf** files to the **Redlua** folder; this will hide the Redlua console and make it transparent
- Keep **Laucher.vbs** and **RDR2-SAVE_SENTINEL.bat** in **your archive folder**
- Customize your profile ID (your archive file) in the .lua file
- In the RDR2-SAVE_SENTINEL file, you can modify the archive name and the time interval for saving the game
⚙️ Custom settings
```
set "PARTIDA=SRDR30015" --> Archive name
set /a INTERVALO=60 --> Time interval for saving the game (seconds)
```

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
