Well... basically, I decided to (at least try) to use the Wayback Machine to recreate the Red Dead Redemption 2 website as it was in 2023 (currently it looks outdated compared to 2023). Why? Because I liked it, it's a pretty well-designed site, and I also like the game.
I know, the code is a mess, but I'm going to try to fix it little by little, with some help too.
- Two ways:
- Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/d4v1-sudo/rdr2-site-clone.git
Then, open the index.html
file in your browser to start exploring the site.
- Download the ZIP File:
- Go to the main repository page at https://github.com/d4v1-sudo/rdr2-site-clone.
- Click the "Code" button and select "Download ZIP."
- Extract the ZIP file on your computer and open the
index.html
file in your browser
-
Remember, I used web.archive.org to retrieve all the files and code. Specifically, from
https://web.archive.org/web/20230815011942/https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2
andhttps://web.archive.org/web/20200524222811/https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2
. -
No, the main HTML code is not the original. I had to make some changes, remove some elements, and add important JavaScript.
-
What remains to be done:
- Download more images referenced in the main CSS (just search for "/web/20200524223229im_" in the main CSS).
- Somehow obtain the code from the sub-sites like
https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/features/weaponry
,https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/features/wildlife
, and so on, from the Wayback Machine. So far, only the 2023 version ofhttps://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2
is definitive. To check what's left, simply explorehttps://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2
in your browser to find more directories containing different information about RDR2. - Fix the links called in the HTML codes, in the main CSS, and in d0f410feafebf36c8443.js, and probably a few more. Either download the file, associate the partial link found in main CSS and other files, found with the following site: https://web.archive.org/-partial-link-, and place the downloaded file in
assets
and in the corresponding directory, or remove it if it serves no purpose, or fix the alternation of languages in the navbar, etc.
