Bakou's Rifle Holster

🎯 **A modern, stable and beautiful rifle holster replacement module, saying goodbye to the crashing problem of the old version of the module! **

✨ Module Introduction

In 2024, Qwardnaffle's rifle holster mod, while well-made at the time of its release, is now outdated. It uses the `rifle strap ydr` file which causes the gun strap to disappear when the weapon is drawn, and is still using embedded textures, causing the game to crash after about 15 minutes or when loading/reloading a save.

So I decided to make a new rifle holster mod!

🛠️Mod content

This mod contains three carefully crafted rifle holsters to replace the amulets in the game:

  • **Leather Rifle Holster**: Replaces **Eagle Claw Amulet**.
  • Based on the deleted saddle holster model in the game, enlarged and thickened to fit all types of rifles (except Carcano rifles).
  • **RDR1 Rifle Holster**: Replaces **Raven Claw Amulet**.
  • At the request of players, the models and textures of the first generation of "Red Dead Redemption" were used to create a classic and nostalgic experience.
  • **John's Exclusive Rifle Holster**: Replaces the **Buffalo Horn Amulet**.
  • Designed specifically for John Marston, without using legacy assets, and designed to fit perfectly with the rest of his gear and clothing.

⚙️ Technical features

  • **Stability Improvement**: Solved the game crash problem caused by the old version of the module using embedded textures.
  • **Model Optimization**: The holster model has been adjusted to ensure that it displays correctly when the weapon is drawn and retracted.
  • **Stand-alone operation**: Can be used without relying on other modules.

🙏 Special thanks

Thanks to **KristiandD3** for making the `.bat` script that makes the `weapons.ymt` file use the correct rifle holster position.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. 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.
