About this mod Machine translation

Combines Red Dead Redemption 1's pause menu, another Red Dead Redemption 1 loading screen mod, and Red Dead Redemption 1 UI fonts and hints (in development) into one easy-to-install package.

RDR1 user interface

🎮 **One module, three experiences! ** This module combines three highly acclaimed "Red Dead Redemption 1" (RDR1) style interface modules into one, allowing you to easily change the interface of "Red Dead Redemption 2" (RDR2) back to the classic first-generation style.

✨ Contains content

  • **RDR1 Pause Menu**: Restore the pause menu layout and style of the original game.
  • **RDR1 Loading Screen**: Replaced with the classic loading image from Red Dead Redemption 1.
  • **RDR1 UI fonts and prompts**: Change the in-game fonts and interactive prompts to the original style (still under development).

📦 Installation and use

**IMPORTANT**: Before installing this mod, please make sure you have removed the following three standalone mods, as they are included in this modpack:

  • Another RDR1 Loading Screens Mod
  • Original RDR1 Pause Menu
  • RDR1 UI Font and Prompts (WIP)

**Installation method**:

  • Place the mod file into the game's `lml` folder.

**Customized Pocket Watch Style**:

If you want to change the pocket watch style in the pause menu, just edit the code at the bottom of the `install.xml` file:

  • Change `UI/Pause/PC`
  • Changed to `UI/Pause/360` (Xbox 360 style)
  • Or change to `UI/Pause/None` (no pocket watch)

⚠️ Known issues and compatibility

  • **Not compatible with NoPostFX mods**: The pause menu will not color properly if the NoPostFX mod is also installed.
  • **Solution**: In the `footagepostfx.ymt` file of the NoPostFX module, find the location of `WETPLATETEXTURE02` near line 2019, and change `` to ``.
  • **"Undead Nightmare" font and color variants are not supported**: Due to the huge workload, this mod does not currently support the special fonts and menu colors of "Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare".

🎨 Custom options

  • **Minimap Add-on**: The mod includes a simplified square honor background with rounded corners. If you don't want this effect, you can extract the `radar_compass_ink`, `radar_expanded_ink` and `radar_regular_ink` files and delete `hud_textures.ytd`.
  • **Customize Pause Menu Color**: If you want to adjust the filter color of the pause menu, please refer to the description of the Red Pause Filter module.
  • **Remove pause menu filter effect**: If you want to completely remove the pause menu filter effect, please refer to the description of the No Pause Filter module.

🙏 Acknowledgments

  • Special thanks to **WesternAndCo** for making the Online Button Remover mod, whose functionality has been integrated into the pause menu of this mod.

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.
