PSA: SuperBLT (Update 199.3 - Completely Operational)

[Mother_Flowers]

TL;DR Download SuperBLT[superblt.znix.xyz]

- If you're crashing on startup, please make sure you're using the latest version. Anything older than the latest will crash
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT - There's a new player in town called SuperBLT
It's essentially BLT 3.0, a fork of the original with a new updated .dll created and maintained by ZNixian with help from others with a number of major improvements, such as an audio API and the ability to alter any base-game XML file (completely removing the need for Bundle Modder). Long story short it's better and has many upsides, and there haven't been any reported issues/crashes, so there aren't any known downsides.

Download: https://superblt.znix.xyz/ (make sure you read the "Installation" text)

NOTE: Don't use "normal" BLT anymore, not only is it no longer maintained but it also has no advantage over SuperBLT.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keeping this up for archival sake:

Old Title: PSA: BLT has been updated (LuaJIT Support - Update 153)
BLT Download: https://github.com/JamesWilko/Payday-2-BLT/releases
Info: https://github.com/JamesWilko/Payday-2-BLT/wiki/Whats-New-in-BLT-2
Not be confused with Raid: WW2's BLT[github.com]

1. If you're a Windows 7 user, please update to BLT 2.1 (or newer)[github.com]
   
2. If it's crashing on the title screen, then your mods need updating.
   
3. If you're having a 'weaponfactorymanager' (or blackmarketmanager) crash then it's probably due to a broken save file caused by a custom weapon mod. Install Rokk's Crash Fix[modwork.shop] and follow the instructions to rectify.
   
4. To convert a 'basic' mod to BLT 2.0 simply add this line into the mod.txt:
   

   "blt_version" : 2
   

   If the mod has a json menu hooked, then you'll need to change:
   

   "parent_menu_id" : "lua_mod_options_menu",
   

   to:
   

   "parent_menu_id" : "blt_options",
   

   for it to actually work. It's located in the .txt file that's not mod.txt nor used for localisation. - Again, BLT is broken, use SuperBLT which makes this redudant.
   
5. If your mod options is missing (and the game looks as if your vanilla) then it's an issue with your .dll not loading. Try SuperBLT[superblt.znix.xyz] with WSOCK32.dll
   
6. >>>In-game<<< BLT Mod Options seems to be missing. See note 7 or 8 for a fix. Fixed in BLT 2.2, if problem still persists use note 6.
   
7. To fix note 6 replace BLT 2.1's 'base' folder with the source code's[github.com] one. Send all credit to Dark, it's his idea.
   
8. An alternate 'fix' has been devised by BangL, follow the instructions on this thread
   BLT 2.2 fixes note 6, making note 7 & 8 unneeded, please update to BLT 2.2[github.com]
   If somehow the in-game mod options doesn't work, try note 7.
   
9. If you're a Windows 7 user and having issues with BLT 2.2, please re-install as the download has been fixed with what is probably a newer .dll file. Can also download via Paydaymods[pdmods-arc.berigora.net] too, but unnecessary as their both the same versions.
   
10. (Fixed in BLT 2.3) Any mod that uses BLT's Peer-to-Peer Lua networking will crash.
    
11. You can try using only the IPHLPAPI.dll file from BLT 2.0 and keeping the 'mods' folder from BLT 1.08 as a cheap workaround. 'Basic' mods should work, but some mods will simply crash the game. Doubt that this is needed anymore, kept for archival sake.
    
12. BLT 2.0's Updating System is having issues. Update your mods manually. Fixed

If there's anything else that's worth noting feel free to comment.

seconded that

Oh, well I haven't even launched the game yet - I'm going to be raping the hell out of the beta - I'm just announcing that BLT has been updated because I believe the previous versions don't work with luaJIT?

Ofc, according to you guys this new version doesn't work with it either...

Game doesn't launch, but steams says that i'm in the game. Have to manually exit the process in manager

[ex4star]

For me the game launches, but intro has no audio at all, it gets me to the title screen and after pressing any key the game crashes...halp ;-;

Probably one of the mods thats incompatible.

I just replaced my old BLT with the new one thanks to the OP, game launching fine (except for a little error in the back of my running processes, but I can play properly).

I can't even get to the site. I guess it is being flooded with traffic.

I had an issue where because I was using custom music as a menu track and since that depends on BeardLib and BeardLib wasn't quite working just then, the game froze up completely on the main menu. Worked around by quietly moving those modules out of reach long enough to change the track.

Also, Wilko left the console showing.

Other than that, I haven't encountered any serious problems... yet.

Edit: I forgot about the mod options menus. They're gone.

Fake Edit: Heists seem to crash when you play custom tracks. (Someone handed me a little band-aid for BeardLib)

[NewPJzuza]

I've tried with pure new BLT. the game is running but it's like others got.

[Copy & Cat]

well couldn't make it work even when removing all other mods
