Longer days (and nights)

I see the status of mods kind of halted, this one specifically editing the MUCH NEEDED editing of the day\night cycle seems to have stopped to work, at least some report like this.

I know that everything is relative. Also the bla bla bla against the game might be just relative to people that have a 300 Eurodollar lower Hardware value so of course u can't run the game...

Can anybody give any update over this mod?

I don't see much of response on the nexus mod posts either...
is this all abandoned ALREADY?!

Game doesn't need such editing.

Your writing does.

[[BRE] Léonard "le Fol"]

I don't understand you, write again in a language of your choice.

I just love how, in RDO, when day breaks I think Rhodes just got nuked, and at nightfall I think I went blind for a moment as it all goes black.

[[BRE] Léonard "le Fol"]

ahahah, yeah, I just wish the game could be fully role played, unfortunately I do hunt for days, instead it should be just 4-7 hours like normal hunt last for. If I hunt for 20 minutes, which I like to do .. 20 hours pass... it's ridicolous.

I am not here to comment, I am here to ask if mods actually work. I think the game is not really stable or in a built that allows for mods to be stable.

It's still a beta port. Maybe they will do a official remaster of the game in a few years. WOn't buy it on pc.

Yea sure, totaly destroy the balancing of the whole game so you can hunt whenever and however you want and do a "full roleplay", whatever that means. I mean, it takes me 5sec to hunt a deer. If you'd go hunting for "4-7" hours, you would get like 200 animals! Is that the full role play you are talking about? Might as well just throw a nuke in the forest at that point.

Because of this, you won't buy the game. On PC. But you play on a console (even tho you clearly want mods), but you know the game is not really mod friendly? So you would get another copy just to mod it and then hunt...? But now you are going to wait for a remaster? WTF are you on? WTF am I on?!?!?!!?

Can I suggest The Hunter? I think you are playing the wrong game.

When you will understand what it means playing a game I will explain you, now get back with your herd...

I was looking into getting this mod recently because I just want to enjoy the beautiful weather and time of day more often. I hate that I will be in the swamps at sunset and LOVE the way the sun looks piercing through the fog around 7:00 PM, only to watch the sun shoot down out of the sky in seconds. I want that moment to last longer. Or how about when dark clouds cover the sky and it starts to pour heavy rain. I'm so sick and tired of watching the clouds break away in a mere matter of seconds and clear to full bright sky. It breaks my immersion tremendously. Storms don't develop and then clear their full course in 15 seconds flat. That's just dumb and frankly it feels broken. Why put so much effort into building such a beautiful and rich world, then have these effects come off so short lived?

idk what you just said but i use a mod like that so an ingame minute takes 10 seconds instead of 5 and it doubles the day and night time and doesn't ♥♥♥♥ up the missions so do it like that

You know what's weird? I pulled out the pocket watch while standing around the other day and then on my smartphone I used a stop watch to time how long a minute was in real-time vs game time. At that exact moment and place, it was almost perfect 1 second = 1 minute in game, so 1 minute real vs 1 hour game.

Then at another point in free roam, at another location, I did the same test and all of a sudden 3 seconds of real time meant 1 minute of game time. Time slowed down by a factor of 3. That hour now took 3 minutes instead of 1.

It seems that the time scale isn't on a flat line. Time slows down and speeds up at varying points in the day and even based on different locations and what's happening. I don't ever think a mod could be made to accommodate all these variables properly, and frankly the only acceptable way IMHO is a flat line where units of time are consistent at all moments. That's why if I ever used this mod, I would just set it to a simple 1/2 real time scale, where 30 seconds = 1 minute. This way I can use in-game time speed up mechanics (sleeping) to drastically alter the current in-game time and also enjoy the gameplay and weather as well as time of day in those lovely moments you want to last longer, without making it completely slow and painful to get through a day.

EXACTLY. We do play the game, they do play the game in their way, but it's not about us and them. We all play the game.

The problem is that to make the game work devs had to keep it simple. I think that making it STILL THICK as a game it would have needed developers to WORK the hell a lot more.

The entire system works because the game is fast. The game would have been too heavy maybe with a 1minute = 15 minutes in the game.

However I am not here to excuse or discuss how much is hard to develop games, we should all know before starting to join a conversation like mine that is technical or at least aims at talking of techincal stuff.

I super agree. U know what I am talking about.
Skin an animal, hunt it without silly HUD traces handholding you, hunt a treasure CONVOY listening to sounds and checking traces, planning, moving, risking, WELCOMING SURPRISE and emergent AI gameplay and narraitve, creating narrative.

THIS IS GAMING! This is art. Thanks for appearing Kurai Shidosha.. i thought that all the people with a brain disappeared.

Regarding the rest you ppl are saying:
https://www.powerpyx.com/how-long-is-1-day-in-red-dead-redemption-2/

This post explains the basics of what people need to know when talking of this subject.
Time changes speed depending on the situation.. the game does not respect the entire time the same speed (because simply developrs couldn't make it so or because they needed the game to sped up).

Anyway this game if it had at least 4 times slower time (closer to reality) it would have been A- MA -ZING...
----
Check the link i EDITED now: that link explains various stuff. There is also a page on nexusm mod with bugs, and it explains that (when the mod worked) there were bugs like "u check the time on the watch" (.. i do it always for immersion etc.) " the game doesn't show the speed of the time that actually is mechanically on, it just uses the vanilla game time speed, even if the game mod longer days and night is actually working.

On Fake news and people trying to steer the crowds by abusing online media:
I also think that since we are in times of fake news and stupid people want to have their FAMOUS slice in the useless lives they are living like that user above that abused the topic just to stand for some hours in notoriety, there is a BIG chance that mod does not work (OF COURSE) but I think that the NEGATIVITY around it might be brought by "addicted to reputation and being famous" trolls of which internet and politics is filled with to actually GENERATE A NARRATIVE on this game mod just to ruin the party and fun to people that want to install it.
Usually people do that to destroy the chance for others to enjoy the game and anyway those that have it not working often have trash pc or have done some trash settings of the mod and then narrate the fact that the mod doesn't work.

CAN ANYONE shed some light?

Some say that with the new patches rockstar sent in the mod doesn't work... and quest do not show up.

I mean THE GAME ITSELF if you ARE NOT SUPPOSED to play that quest in a specific moment removes a quest for some time and puts it again on the map later.

Maybe some people got confused FROM THIS? Because it s just natural stuff the game does and it's all right!

Or some people really have seen this thing happening.. maybe they are not many, maybe it's just party breakers that have to break the balls all the time..

WAIT WAIT: are yo u saying that actually the game multiplayer has slow time or that you actually have tested the mod online?! OMG this is something I want to know too, thanks for raising this topic too here, as I want to know more on this.
Does actually RDO work with this mod?
It's the only thing I am interested in this is crucial for me and the game to be fun.

Can you please tell me if I can use the multiplier maybe to "10" ? without breaking the game?
Some say that the multiplyer doesn't have to be pushed too much.
Does it work also on RDO? So actually the Free roam ? (I think it's the only mode RDR2 has).

Anyway... Do you think i Can make 1 hour in game last for 3 or 4 minutes at least? Withiout breaking the game.

[Kurai Shidosha]

Hey the test I did was single player, I don't play Online at all. The time varied while free roaming in the Epilogue but I'm sure it does it the same ways in the main chapters too.

[[BRE] Léonard "le Fol"]

Got you, i hope my link was useful together wit hthe explanation.
U can see what u said here: in the bugs section https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/41?tab=bugs

"Even when the mod is working, the time on the pocket watch still runs at the same speed as default"

I am really wondering if buying on pc is a good idea.. beacuse this mod for me is everything for this game...
\\\
If I go to a house where a quest is at, i want to explore every single corner...i want to talk to people.. look them in the eyes.. listen waht they say.. not run around like zelda or some bursting husain bolt here and there.. I am not in a game, for me reality suspends, i am the game.

People that dnt understand what this issue of time is about don't really understand...

So it still works the mod? and can u set 10x as some suggest without risking higher levels?
Do the quests show? Is the time slowed down and the game better like this?
