Version 1.2.1.b
Main Version Changes:
- John retains his walking and jogging animations while passing through foliage (his sprinting animation was already fixed)
Notes: Sorry for the very insignificant update tonight, since i won't be updating this mod for a while, I thought it would be a good idea to leave this mod in the most perfect state possible.
The reason why this mod is temporarily receiving no more updates it's 'cus I literally improved anything that needed to be improved with the limitations that we have, anything else will be futile.
So, for now, this is as unique John can get. I also wanted to thank everyone for all the support y'all have been giving to this mod, it has been really fun and i hope i get to come back to this once better tools come out. Take care, folks!
Version 1.2.1
RDR 1 Weapon Animations Changes:
- Fixed the spinning issue when aiming while standing still.
- "Holstering Animation" is part of this mod now.

- John's idle animations are now present when standing on all types of terrains (swamps, ice, snow, water, rivers and tar.)
- Fixed a very rare issue where John's animations would swap to the NPC ones for a very brief moment.
- John runs up/down the stairs properly now.

Version 1.1.2
Fixed an issue where Arthur's voice was changed into John's...
Version 1.1.1
I added new first person entries for John only, unfortunately, i wasn't able to change the animations, though at least John's sprinting animation remains intact.
And also added some stuff to make it compatible with "RDR 1 Weapon Animations"
Version 1.1
- Changed the swamp/mud animations to Arthur's. Before, it was using the NPC ones, which were a bit less expressive.
I only did this as a preparation for when editing animation files are available.
Version 1.0
Base Release:
- No more Arthur animations while in Beecher's Hope as John.
- Changed the jog and sprinting animations when walking on ice as John.
- Changed the sprinting animation when in a fight as John.
- Changed the sprinting animation when drunk as John.
- John's walking animation is present when walking on snow. (I tried to change the running animations as well but sadly they were overwhelming to look at, so only the walking animation will stay until we get to tweak the animations themselves.)
Note: I also tried to change the water animations for John, but some of the animations sadly appeared broken (you can actually see my attempts in the files), so the water animations remained untouched... until we get to tweak the animations themselves, that is.
