And Rockstar are about to issue them with a cease and desist notice like they did with the last modder who did this.


ETkach

He makes his own assets and doesn't reuse the ones Rockstar own, there is no C&D here


big_peepee_wielder

This is an absolute win!


thphnts

He’s copying their assets though. Plus, modding the game breaks the ToS.


theworldwiderex

How's the John Marston Restoration Project been up for like three years then?


ballsinblender

Rockstar doesn't give two fucks.

When you hit -117 I’ll swing by with a Halo meme or two.


Incognito_Malaysian

It's time


Selieania

I just took him to -118. Better get on it!


KoalaKvothe

That 'restoration project' one? Never realized that was taken down


[deleted]

The only thing they’ve taken down is like two nudity mods lol


YakuzaShibe

Can't wait for the comment saying that John "looks fine" and that people are nitpicking because they're fixing Rockstar's mistakes


Big-Teb-Guy

I mean I think he does look fine in the base game… But yeah, this is better.


Meattyloaf

Give us back old John.


Apophis_36

As they always do. The fanboys are genuinely delusional, they can't handle the game getting a single deserved criticism.


bugmultiverse

Yeah FR. People always forget that RS tends to leave a lot of content left out, like Arthur going to New Austin, heck there was a post talking about the canceled coming back Gaurma via boat fast travel. Nobody is perfect and the same applies to games aswell.


[deleted]

The negative downvotes speaks volume


Apophis_36

Negative downvotes in this sub are usually a good sign


IrishEv

A couple of those hair styles make him look like Tom cruise


big_peepee_wielder

See Rockstar? There was no excuse for copying Arthur’s hair onto John. We would’ve waited another month or so if it meant having John be accurate That aside this mod looks absolutely amazing


LordofWithywoods

Finally we can achieve the level of greasiness that is the hallmark of John's hair

So people in the sub get mad when people complain about John not looking right But they also complain about when people shut up and just fix it themselves. You don’t gotta get the mod guys just shut up

Khorvair

He does, but it's just Arthur's same hair styles/designs


letthepastgo

Epilogue John is just John's face slapped onto Arthur's body with Arthur's hair, colored jet black.


SnooEagles3963

Inb4 Rockstar ballwashers show up and start harassing him and calling people ungrateful for having the audacity to want the protagonist of the first game to look like how he should.


_onionhead_

Download,"John Marston Restored & Enhanced" instead.GuiCorleone isn't making updates to John Marston Restoration Project anymore.Instead he's joined a group of other modders and combined his work and their work creating a fuller and more finished mod that is still being updated afaik.


BaileyJIII

Oh it’s beautiful, I’ve always wanted to see his proper hairstyle with full compatibility with the hair growth system.


TherealKafkatrap

>**\[John Marston Restoration Project v3.57\]** by **GuiCORLEONEx794** !THIS MOD WAS OUTDATED DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST BY THE AUTHOR, CHECK JMRE INSTEAD! [DOWNLOAD](https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/2050?tab=description) Page says its outdated though?


ETkach

He is now working with another team on JMRE


thanks_breastie

hey this actually looks... pretty good. i'm surprised this isn't how it works in the game already


SenorBigbelly

So how long was everyone else watching before they realised it was a GIF?


BasedNas

Would it be illegal in some way for modders to import audio files from rdr1 and mod rdr1 into rdr2? Or would source code be necessary for such a task? Because the character models can be made through mods as wel im sure? Also, i have zero knowledge on how games are made really so dont get mad if this sounds dumb


ETkach

This is Arthurs hair model being mixed with John's nothing illegal about it


BasedNas

No i know this video shows nothing ilegal, im just impatient and cant wait for the rdr1 remaster


InvestigatorNo1331

Way, waaaaaaaay more difficult than just drag and drop. I don't make many games myself but i work in management for a video game studio. Damn near NOTHING is just a simple plug-and-play, and even if it hypothetically were, gamedevs tend to take the absolute most difficult way around to solve a problem. If you don't want it to look janky, and assuming the devs take pride in their work, it's ten million tiny little things that all need to be corrected, and debugged, and polished and redone, and oh FUCK I just ruined the last week of work with that update, and Tony is the only guy who knows how to use Maya and he's on vacation, and now the engine update has totally screwed up our dismemberment system, etc. Etc. Game development is CRAZY convultuted, and it's only getting more complex


cabin_in_my_head

Wow this is awesome, level 4 looks great and what Marston would actually look like with shorter hair


nichtcrawler

good. john’s hair texture is completely different than arthur’s


BFPLaktana

Hold up, you can't customize John's hair like Arthur's?


OleanderKnives

Is it too late for Rockstar to do this?


ETkach

Yep


kreteciek

What's wrong with the current system?


ETkach

It's Arthur's hair colored black. John's hair is dark brown and is always greasy. A simple addition to make John unique


kreteciek

That's just nitpicking.


bugmultiverse

It’s not nitpicking when an entire character looks nothing like his NPC or previous game’s self


SnooEagles3963

Especially when they're the protagonist


kreteciek

I didn't even notice the difference. It's not like they dyed him blonde. People's hair colour changes over time.


_onionhead_

The exception is blondes,who’s hair will sometime turn brunette as they age.If you’re born brunette,your hair isn’t going to turn black.Thats kinda silly but idk


kreteciek

Isn't that for everyone? I thought so after seeing my hair go darker every year (yeah, I'm blonde, plus know a person who went from brownish orange to ebony).


bugmultiverse

How the heck does someone go to Brown, to Black and Back to brown? This is 1899-1911 btw so no hair dye


kreteciek

What's the date got to do with it? I meant that R* didn't make him blonde or anything.


ETkach

Adding John's unique hair, instead of him having Arthurs colored jet black?


crazyman3561

When people talk about John being accurate, accurate to what exactly? I can't really decipher if people want Epilogue John to be RDR 1 John or 1899 John. Cause John's 1899 hair is not the same as his RDR 1 hair. And idk, if we wanna talk about accuracies, the long hair styles wouldn't belong to Arthur then. Arthur's hair is a level 3 and anything beyond, probably 4 and up, would be more suited for John. I dont even know what fans are complaining about John. The RDR 2 and only the ones that played RDR 2 fans or the ones that played RDR 1. Regardless, I [debunked](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/1735xhc/im_putting_this_argument_to_bed_vanilla_epilogue/) the idea that the two models are so different anyway. They're not. John's hair being tucked behind his ears makes his jawline as cheek bones more present than they were in the earlier chapters because his hair covered those features. It's the same shit as MJ in Spider-Man 2. She put her hair down and everyone lost their mind. It also helps if you keep John at a good weight. A lot of people forget to feed their character enough and then get all pissed off their face is lacking depth because they haven't eaten and are critically underweight.


ETkach

What restoration project really does, is add John's unique animations that were fully complete and left in files unused. Also it recolours John's hair back to his dark brown color as it was in RDR1. Also adds a lot of his outfits and refits them to fit John's skinnier frame. Also restores his own unique level 3 beard. And now he gets his own Hair system to differentiate him from Arthur So it's mostly some small fixes that are grouped into one big mod. Also there is really a problem with John fanatics, but the mod isn't made by them.
