Hired Gunmen Questions

Question:
When one of my hired gunmen goes down, i stand next to him and no prompt shows to revive him.
         How do i revive my hired gunmen?
Answer
You have to crouch by his head like your going to teabag him lol, and then you will see the help prompt come up to revive
hold that and you'll see it load and then when its done it will disappear and your hired gunmen will get up.

Question:
I just tried to hire a gunmen but the menu looks completely black and prompts that are supposed to
show when you press numpad is empty. Gunman name can be seen but commands 1 to 7 looks empty.
Answer
Look for this in the Bandit_Hideouts.ini towards the bottom under // HIRED GUNMEN SETTINGS //

// Hired Gunmen Menu Language Translation //
DISABLE_TRANSLATION=1     // Disabled by default, change to 0 if your using a .dat language file, this setting is for those
                                                      who speak another language other then English and cant read the Hired Guns menu in English.

Make sure thats set to 1 like above if you read/speak English, if its 0 and you dont have a .dat language file
installed you might be getting your issue. Be sure to also use a language.dat file for the language you speak.
Question:
I'm using a translation.dat file to translate the hired guns menu at a saloon for my language
but its not working and is still in English what is the problem?
Answer:
In the Bandit Hideouts.ini go to where the Hired Gunmen settings are and look for the following
setting and change it to 0.

// Hired Gunmen Menu Language Translation //
DISABLE_TRANSLATION=1     // Disabled by default, change to 0 if your using a .dat language file, this setting is for those
                                                      who speak another language other then English and cant read the Hired Guns menu in English
Question:
What exactly does the translation.dat file do in the mod?
Answer
The translation .dat files are for the Hired Guns menu.
When you go to saloons to hire a gunmen the words on the menu will be translated to the
language that you are using, all it does.

Question:
What button should I press when I'm hiring a Gunmen in Saloon?
    The prompt appears but I'm unable choose any of the options on the menu.
Answer
You should see the prompt button to hire gunmen on the screen (bottom right) when you go to talk to the bartender,
using the arrow keys on your keyboard should allow you to select on the menu,
but hold down your right mouse button at the same time, and then hit enter to select.
     There is a control configuration in the ini for Hired Guns that you can set.

Question:
I disabled the hire gunmen setting in the ini but my hired guns keep following me to attack hideouts.
Answer
Once you hire a gunmen they will stay with you until either you fire them, or they die.
Disabling the hire gunmen setting in the ini just disables the prompt/menu from showing up at saloons.
    Just fire them if you dont want them to follow you anymore.

Question:
I set the setting for the hired gunmen to spawn their own horses HIRED_GUNS_DONT_SPAWN_HORSE=0
 but sometimes my game crashes when the horses spawn, whats the issue?
Answer
We dont know what the issue is, it is a known issue and theres really nothing we can do
to fix it, its a random crash bug. However if you have that setting set to 1 which disables that setting
then the game wont crash, though the hired gunmen wont spawn horses, if there are horses around
they will get on them and use those horses instead, and even get on your horse with you.

Question:
How would we go about adding peds from the custom ped list txt file into bandit hideouts?
Answer
The Bandit_Hideouts_CustomPeds.txt is for the hired guns feature of the mod, not anything else.
See my pic here where it says CustomList on the menu there on the bottom?
    Thats what its for, you open that and the list opens and you can customize what ped for a hired gun you want.
Question:
When i hire a gunmen he drops to the floor injured, whats the issue and is there a fix?
Answer
Dont know what the issue is but it could be because of the saloon that your at, can also be if you have a setting enabled in
the PDO mod if your also using that, as well as AMJM Transport i cant say for sure,
but go to another saloon and it should fix it, as another has said it fixed the issue for them.
Question:
When I have a Hired Gun with me and try to tame a wild horse, the Hired Gun always attacks the horse.
Most of the time it has been melee, they basically run up to the horse and punch it. Whats the issue?
Answer
The reason your hired gun will attack the horse is because the relation to the horse is not friendly,
once you tame the horse then the hired gun wont attack the horse because the relationship has changed.
