How to use the
CLEAR_HIDEOUTS_PERMANENTLY setting



Feature
Introduced in v1.31 of the mod, this feature will allow you to clear hideouts without the hideouts
spawning back in when you restart or return to the game. This will give the game of clearing hideouts
a campaign feel to it if thats what you wanted to do.

What does this setting do?

This setting: CLEAR_HIDEOUTS_PERMANENTLY=0
when set to 1 any hideouts you clear wont spawn in again, until you change the setting back to 0.
    The 0 setting is disabled by default which means hideouts will spawn normally.

   This will create a new file in your RDR2 directory titled: ClearedHideouts.dat
this file will save the status of all hideouts that you have cleared.
===================

      Thanks, took us about a week to add it and test it, but it works good, i have a video that i will be putting on this article
      here to go over the settings and demonstrate how it works.
      i was just gonna request if you can do that
      Ya it was asked many times before in the past year but i finally got around to asking crossed if we can do something like
      that while working on something else.  So we did it, and it works well, its alot of fun to use actually.
         Now you can play the game like a campaign with all the hideouts and clear them out one by one and
      the progress you make will be saved! ;)
      when will it gonna be released tho?
      This will be in the coming update v1.31
      also does the camp will be gone from the map once we clear it?
      Ya, when you have this setting ----> CLEAR_HIDEOUTS_PERMANENTLY=1
      set to 1 then a new file will be created in your RDR2 directory, the file name will be titled: ClearedHideouts.dat
      this file will save the progress and status of all the hideouts you cleared.

          So what happens is, when you clear a hideout with that setting set to 1 then hideouts wont spawn in again, after
      restarting the game, or even respawn back in if you were to go back to them while in your current game.
      The map blip icon will be removed for hideouts from the map and thats it.
            So your progress will be saved the hideouts wont spawn in, and if you wanted to have them spawn in again then change
      that setting to 0 and delete that .dat file and the hideouts will be back to normal.
      btw thankyou for this amazing mod bro

      Mod was working fine for me without issues.
      Make sure you've replaced the entire ini as alot of it has been updated.

      What settings were you using prior to the error?

      Do is the following:
      1. Delete your bandit_hideouts.dat file
      2. Delete your Bandit_Hideouts_Translation.dat file if your using one and get a new copy as all the language files have been updated.
      3. Once ingame create a new save on an empty slot and load that save.
      4. Replace your ini with the latest as many things, and alot of new settings have been added to it.

      Tell them to all follow you, and then create a camp, as soon as you go to relax at the campfire they will
      do the same. I dont use the normal camping in the game, i use crossed's mod Survival mechanics which has his
      camp anywhere feature in it.
