1. If you see the error message Animation Dictionary Missing

This happens when the mod doesn't have access to the animations.

Solution:
Make sure you have one of the required mods installed. 

version.dll from RDR2 Asi Loader

Online Content Unlocker


Personally, I am using the latest version.dll on the latest version of the game, but some older versions of the game
seem to have a problem with version.dll, so you might need an older version.dll.

Note:
If you have an older version of Maverick, update to the latest where the developer makes it compatible with my mod.



2. Nothing happens when you press the keys or the mod stops working after a few minutes. (No error message)


If you are using ScriptHook V2, it has a bug when using the Vulkan API.


The hotkeys for this mod(and many others) stop working when you ALT + TAB or change Fullscreen/Windowed etc.
I believe this is what was causing the mod to stop working "after some time" for people or not work at all.


Solution:
Since v3.1.2 you can enable compatibility mode in the settings and try that. (setting is COMPATIBILITY_MODE_ENABLED)

Alternative solutions:
1. Select Borderless Windowed and restart the game.
2. Switch to Alexander Blade's ScriptHook
3. Try DirectX12

3. If you have a pirated version of the game, there is a chance your version is broken.


Please look at this image:

It's a discussion by a few people who all had the same broken version and the mod didn't work for them.
The problem was resolved, but I would suggest you buy the game.

    I installed 3 mods, and now I can't greet or antagonize anyone. I can still interact with people during certain random encounters but can't anywhere else. My personal theory is that this may have been caused by me having to delete one of the mods. What I can't figure out is that I was very careful to only delete the files for the mod (which was gun tricks). This is my first run of the game with mods on. I don't know if this is really just something with how the story works as I haven't played rdr2 in a while but any help would be great.

    If it helps, the files I deleted for gun tricks were the ones detailed in the installation video by Games & Graphics HDPRO.

      There is not much I can do with that information. You need to write down your installation process because I'm not sure which step you messed up. The mod works with all versions of the game.

      Please write down:
      1. Which files you downloaded including ScriptHook version/version.dll/Online Content Unlocker
      2. Where you put all the files
      3. What error you are seeing or what's not working.

    The hotkeys work fine, but Arthur smokes and then ditches the cig/cigar after two puffs. I know that you tap N for example for a short puff, and then if you press N it throws it away. These two seem a bit contradictory. Maybe a fault on my end, but I have experimented with soft taps and also dleiberate presses but the result is that it just throws it away.

    I change smoke duration to like 200k in the .ini file to see if this stops him throwing it away. I get no version.dll errors or anything. It did work before but now not sure. Since it has worked I have only added the WhyEm's DLC and More Pretty Guns which should have no effect on it.

      I'm not sure if you understand. You need to HOLD N for 1 second to start "long" smoking. If you press N for a short time only, you will smoke for 10 seconds and throw it away.

    thanks!
      figured it out ;)
    works 1/3 to half of the time

    Hi, so I pressed N, and Arthur pulled out the cigarette as promised, however. once I held down N the screen froze and the game crashed. Now I cant start it back up, did I do something wrong?

      I am not sure, but are you sure it's reproducable? As in, does it happen literally every time you open your game and hold N?

    Russian language:
    Ребята, у меня наконец то это получилось, целый день возился с модом, вообщем вот мои советы и рекомендации. Моя версия игры: 1491.50 (устанавливал с сайта Dodi Repack).  
    1. Пользуйтесь Nexus Mod Manager или по другому Vortex Mod manager это значительно облегчит вам задачу (все моды устанавливайте через него)
    2. Установите ScriptHookRDR2 от Alexandr Blade.
    3. Установите RDR 2 Asi Loader с сайта RDR2MODS.COM ( я установил последнюю версию мода) 
    4. Установите Online Content Unlocker с nexusmods.com (самый популярный мод)
    5. Установите 'Lenny's Mod Loader RDR' с сайта RDR2MODS.COM (последнюю версию мода) 
    6. Установите сам мод Smoking Complete (напоминаю, все моды устанавливаются через Vortex Mod Manager) 
    !!!Мелкая, но очень важная деталь!!!
    Если вы ничего не трогали в корневой папке игры (где находится RDR2.exe), у вас не должно быть файла под названием "version.dll", (этот файл можно найти в папке RDR 2 Asi Loader), попробуйте запустить игру, если все идет хорошо и игра запускается, то закиньте файл "version.dll" в корневую папку игры, попробуйте запустить игру еще раз, если все идет хорошо и нет сообщения: "Animation dictionary missing error." , то скорее всего у вас все получилось. Если же после закидки этого файла ("version.dll") в корневую папку игры, игра перестала запускаться, то удалите этот файл, запустите игру и в настройках графики переключите графический процессор на DirectX 12 и переключите на полноэкранный режим, после этого опять закидывайте этот файл ("version.dll") в корневую папку игры и запустите ее, по идее все должно сработать (по крайней мере в моем случае это так). Надеюсь хоть кому-нибудь помог.

    Guys, I finally got it, I've been messing with the mod all day, in general, here are my tips and recommendations. My version of the game: 1491.50 (installed from the Dodi Repack website). 1. Use the Nexus Mod Manager or otherwise Vortex Mod manager, this will make your task much easier (install all mods through it)2. Install ScriptHookRDR2 from Alexandr Blade.3. Install RDR 2 Asi Loader from the website RDR2MODS.COM (I have installed the latest version of the mod) 4. Install Online Content Unlocker with nexusmods.com (the most popular mod)5. Install 'Lenny's Mod Loader RDR' from the website RDR2MODS.COM (the latest version of the mod) 6. Install the Smoking Complete mod itself (I remind you, all mods are installed via Vortex Mod Manager)!!!A small but very important detail!!!If you haven't touched anything in the root folder of the game (where is it located RDR2.exe ), you should not have a file called "version.dll ", (this file can be found in the RDR 2 Asi Loader folder), try to start the game, if everything goes well and the game starts, then upload the file "version.dll " to the root the folder of the game, try to run the game again, if everything is going well and there is no message: "Animation dictionary missing error." , then most likely you have succeeded. If, after uploading this file ("version.dll ") in the root folder of the game, the game has stopped running, then delete this file, start the game and in the graphics settings switch the GPU to DirectX 12 and switch to full-screen mode, then drop this file again ("version.dll ") go to the root folder of the game and run hers, in theory, everything should work (at least in my case it does). I hope I helped someone at least.

      There is a setting in SmokingComplete.ini called BLOCK_WITHOUT_ITEM_IN_INVENTORY. Change it to 1.
