Official Payday 2 modding thread

[I am not a spy...]

Hello everyone. With the release of the Official Payday 2 Modding Guide. I would like to start a discussion going regarding cosmetic client sided mods. This thread is about cosmetically modding Payday 2, that includes textures, sounds, models, etc. This DOES NOT include mods that alter gameplay, alter stats, or alter game code. This is purely for cosmetic purposes.

Another reminder

This discussion is for purely cosmetic mods, that means NO discussions about hacks. We DO NOT want posts that discuss, advertise, or relate to lua hacks. This thread is specifically for mods to be used with our tools. Any posts found to be breaking this, will be reported.

Isn't there already a modding guide out?
Yes, there is. We have asked Zdann to help us out in writing the guide. This new guide is more detailed, not to mention it's written by people who make/update the modding tools.

Mods Showcase

This sections will include mods that we think are great. If you want your mod to be showcased, you can link it to us, and if we think it's awesome, we will put it up.

HD Weapons by I am not a spy...
This mod makes third person weapon models look HD. This also makes it eaiser to mod weapons, as you only need to mod the first person textures.

Have a question about modding?

You can ask any questions regarding modding in this thread. We will try to answer them to our best ability. Don't expect us to talk about the secret tho.

[JACK DÆMEN]

Could you make a mod that puts Payday 1 soundtrack into Payday 2?

[BoomBaka]

subbed

[Woskis]

This is awesome! And that Metal Gear Detect Sound looks really cool.

Also, is it possible to make the Cloaker more "visible" or anything? He really, really blends in to most of the maps.

Hey there. We should be able to do that. But it would be a case of
which track is to replace which. Duration, etc.
Also PD2 songs in the game are cut into pieces. You would have to find the appropriate timing and cut the PD1 songs up in a similar fashion.

It is doable. But a lot of work.

[ZEROALIAS]

I'm glad you guys are liking the mods we are putting out, and trust us we are not short on ideas :)

[tommy.logon]

really cool mods you guys have going! Really wish more mod support was added tough, like making heist? sure overkill probably needs to check/validate the heists so it's not like "cheaty" :P ooh al the nice things that could come from it :3

[Mateunia]

what about that mod what changes crime.net map into browser like in PD:TH?

[[REDi]1R CPL Clintwood]

I would love to see some weapon reskins. I want a more classic looking 1911 (I love the crosskill, but I want me a proper 1911A1) and perhaps change the look of the "bling grip" to be more 'pearl' grips :)

I have made the Hitman Silverballers for the 1911. But i didn't know they weren't like the original. May be able to work something out ;)

[I am not a spy...]

Some people are wondering about the release of Golden Weapons. Those will be released later, we still need to sort them out for general public.

[[Wolf] H1GH]

ok

[I am not a spy...]

The guide has been released! Currently the guide contains explanations on how to mod textures and sounds, but we will be adding more!

If you have any questions or want to share your mods, don't hesitate to comment here.

Happy modding.

Can you consider doing a bit on how to model swap next? I wanted to modelswap low-poly civilians/cops for their hi-poly counterparts.

The low poly models are built into the models as LODS, so as far as I know you can't do that.

This seems like the best place to put my mod so heres a black escape van:
