John Marston Animation Overhaul V2.7

Added new beta/original Red Dead style animations for John Marston

John Marston Animation Overhaul V2.7

🎬 **From Grim Gunslinger to Waddling Penguin**, Rockstar has done a lot over the years to "destroy" the John Marston we met in the original 2010 game. This mod aims to fix all that.

✨ Module function

• **RESTORE CLASSIC**: Restore John's Beta animations, and add some new first-generation "Red Dead" style animations, bringing back the classic gunslinger atmosphere of the first-generation game.
• **OPTIONAL RDR1 STYLE WALKING**: Contains an optional file that changes John's walking style to a modified version of his classic original walking style. Due to the current limitations of LML, there may be some accompanying problems, but the author will deal with them as soon as they can be fixed.
• **Compatibility Update**: A merged `metapeds.ymt` file is now included for compatibility with the `Ambient Gang` mod for Blackjack Colver Voltaire.

🎭 Facial expression animation

**Update 2.7.1**: Facial expression animations are now released as a standalone mod!

🛠️ Installation instructions
