Beta RDR1 2009

The hat from the early 2009 beta version of RDR1 was recreated and added to RDR2 to imitate the bucket hat in a fun way.

Beta RDR1 2009 hat replica

🎩 **A fun mod that pays tribute to the classics! **

This mod re-creates a hat that appeared in the early beta stages of Red Dead Redemption in 2009 and brings it to Red Dead Redemption 2. It looks a bit like a fun bucket hat, my personal recreation of that RDR1 beta hat, but retains its signature folded brim style.

⚠️ **Note**: The model is planned to be improved in the future.

If you use the JMRE (John Marston Restoration Project) module

Please follow the steps below to ensure that this mod can replace the hat correctly:

• After completing the above steps, enter the game and the hat should have been successfully replaced. 🎉

🎨 Custom texture (optional)

If you want to use a custom texture map for this hat, do the following:

• Also in the `shop_items.ymt` file, search for `CLOTHING_P3_PLAYER_THREE_MS1_HAT_001_000`.
• Find and replace the following three lines of code:
• Replace `PLAYER_THREE_MS1_HAT_001_C1_000_AB` with `PLAYER_THREE_MS1_HAT_000_C1_000_AB`
• Replace `PLAYER_THREE_MS1_HAT_001_C1_000_NM` with `PLAYER_THREE_MS1_HAT_000_C1_000_NM`

🔮 Future Plans

I personally don't think the current model is perfect yet, so I plan on recreating the hat at some point in the future.

**TO DO**:

• Change the size of the brim - the current one looks a bit funny. 😄
