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NOTE: Don't use "normal" BLT anymore, not only is it no longer maintained but it also has no advantage over SuperBLT.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

Would it have killed the devs to go "Hey, we're thinking of making a change to the engine, but it'll probably hurt mods. Would you guys mind?"?

They let us know about this change MONTHS ago during the desync beta period.

[Hassat Hunter]

I just hate that we probably don't get the script decompiles like during the Desync beta.
Then how do we know what random thing they broke.

Or how silly the reason for no CC probably is, and likely related to the whole "let's show trophies give 6cc upon completion in the HUD. After all, that's totally needed since ALL OF THEM give 6cc, this was totally needed - breaks stuff in the next patch... Overkill style".

Weren't there topics on reddit stating that there are only some minor things to be taken care of and the decompile would be rady after that again during the beta?

people listen,
first install the new updated version of BLT
then start the game WITHOUT mods
after that you have to put one mod at a time and check if the game runs normally
if it crashes or doesn't start that means that your mod is making thegame fail
in case you want to use that mod you have to wait until the creator release a version compatible for that specific mod
btw wolf hud was the one which was making my game crash
I hope you couls solve your problems with this
Goobye and enjoy the update

Guide to BLT 2.0 installation:

1. Go to your "SteamApps/common/payday2" folder
2. Delete your "mods" folder and the file "IPHLPAPI.dll"
3. Download Payday-2-BLT-Lua from here: https://github.com/JamesWilko/Payday-2-BLT/releases/download/2.0/BLT2_release_r6_r16.zip
4. Unzip and place the new "mods"-folder and "IPHLPAPI.dll" from the zip-file into your "SteamApps/common/payday2" folder

(OPTIONAL IF U RUN WOLFHUD)
5. Download the new WolfHUD Update: https://github.com/Kamikaze94/WolfHUD/archive/master.zip
6. Unzip the file and place the "WolfHUD-master"-folder into your "mods"-folder.
7. (Don't know if neccessary) Rename the "WolfHUD-master"-folder to "WolfHUD"

This worked for me and should also work for you.

What if the game doesnt start when you put the updated version of BLT
then start the game WITHOUT mods.

[MisterPink]

Game won't run after installing it. Also main .DLL just keeps getting removed as a virus :/

[ Just Someone ]

The problem is that a lot of people trying to run the game with ONLY the BLT files and still Pd2 will just stay on the task manager
