About this mod

Map and minimap markers for the collectibles you haven't found yet. A marker disappears a moment after you study or pick up the item.

Features

  • Marks Dinosaur Bones (30), Rock Carvings (10), Dreamcatchers (20), Points of Interest (48), Mysterious Writings (7), Recipe Pamphlets (15), Trinkets (6), and Cigarette Cards (144).
  • Only shows locations that are still missing, reading the game's own progress data.
  • Pins show up/down arrows for items on different vertical levels; can be disabled with HeightIndicator=0.
  • Cigarette cards use pins by default; shape can be overridden per type.
  • Controller toggle: hold LB + D‑pad down (configurable in INI).
  • Real item names can be displayed by leaving Name= empty; defaults to game language.
  • Per‑type Shape= setting allows pins, circles, or default.
  • Minimap edge shows only the closest markers (BlipEdgeMax, default 5) to avoid crowding.
  • Marker icons follow the game’s order; unknown icons become invisible.
  • Settings reload automatically when the INI is saved.

Requirements

  • ScriptHookRDR2 (V2) with its ASI loader.
  • Story Mode only.
  • Built for game version 1491.50; address offsets for Dreamcatcher, POI and Deborah checks are configurable.

Installation

Copy CollectibleMarkers.asi and CollectibleMarkers.ini to the game folder next to ScriptHookRDR2.dll. Delete both files to uninstall. The mod never writes to your save.

Compatibility

Works with Red Dead Redemption 2 story mode, version 1491.50. May require INI adjustments after game updates that change save‑data addresses.

Known issues

None documented.

Changelog

v3

  • Pins now show up/down arrow for items above or below; circles do not get the arrow.
  • Cigarette cards default to pins to prevent circle pile‑up; Shape= still allows choice.
  • Added controller toggle (LB + D‑pad down), configurable via INI.

v2

  • All 144 cigarette cards (12 sets) are now marked; placements read from game files, Guarma placements skipped.
  • Card markers appear only after the first card is found; markers persist once the card is in the compendium.
  • Name= can be left empty to use the item’s own localized name; works for pamphlets and trinkets as well.
  • Introduced per‑type Shape= setting for pins, circles, or default.
  • Minimap edge limited to closest markers (BlipEdgeMax), reducing edge clutter.
  • Updated marker icon handling and INI documentation.

Updating from v1/2 Replace both .asi and .ini files. Copy any custom values from the old INI into the new one, as older INIs lack new settings.
