Vision
The general idea of Lenny's Mod Loader is to provide an easy way to install file modifications. This is achieved in two different ways depending on whether existing resources in the game are to be 'replaced' or if new resources are added to the game as 'addons'. To replace resources, the game file system can be modified on a per-file basis allowing you to quickly change the content of files without touching any RPFs. To add new resources, the new content can be loaded from disk directly into the game, again without the need for any RPF changes. Goodbye to patchday17 and dlclist.xml. Certain mods, such as vehicles, can even be loaded at runtime, making choosing your new favorite ride a breeze.
Ultimately we hope to provide a fully-fledged Mod Manager UI allowing you to quickly install, remove, enable and disable modifications. Depending on the type of the modification, loading and unloading them at runtime will be supported. An advanced integration with the existing LCPDFR.com downloads portal will allow you to install mods from the site directly to your game folder (and even your currently running game for certain mod types) with just one click. This One Click Service will be part of the Mod Manager offering.
Drastically simplifying the installation and maintenance of mods, Lenny's Mod Loader makes installing massive conversions like the upcoming Coastal Callouts a breeze.
Features
Even though Lenny's Mod Loader is early access software, it is already capable of supporting a wide range of mods including very complex installations such as Coastal Callouts. Despite this, most of the main features are already implemented including loading certain mods such as vehicles into your game at runtime!
Easy replacement of any game file
Ability to load new vehicles
Ability to load new peds (including components)
Ability to load new props
Ability to load new maps (limited to maps without a manifest currently, maps with manifests need to be placed in an RPF and loaded from there)
Ability to load RPFs directly (especially useful for file types not yet supported)
Ability to overwrite or add individual ambient ped and vehicle model set entries
Ability to enable and disable mods as well as manage their load order to extend already installed mods
Advanced features such as single entry replacement, e.g. only replacing the handling entry of one vehicle
Much more!
Future Development
Many features are already available, but there is a still a lot of work to be done. Below you can find some of the most important things that are still being worked on.
Mod Manager UI (including all features laid out above)Deeper integration with the website (for instance mod lists that can be shared)
Visual load order managementSupport for unloading mods
Support for GXT entries(Implemented in Beta #2)Support for map manifests
Support to load individual textures into existing YTDs
Support for RDR2 🤠
Note that Lenny's Mod Loader is early access software and is not yet fully complete. Many features are still being developed and are likely to receive major overhauls in the near future.
