BLT PocoHud Update & Future BLT Updates

[Kilandor]

(Unless Zenyr says otherwise this will always be Unofficial)
Just a FYI. I was given access by Wilko to the BLT Mod Manger version of PocoHud. I will begin and start maintaining the updates from here on out.

I will be pushing out the current version here shortly.

----

Just to avoid any confiusion Zenyr will still always be releasing just as always. So if you don't want to use or don't care about the BLT version. You can simply ignore this thread.

---

You can download the latest BLT version from here. When an update is made however it will be pushed and you can download it from inside the game. This is more for new installs

Ty for the update, I did have a stick of c4 blow up a few feet away from where it actually was (prob a PD2 glitch tbh) on Hotline Miami (attached to the cop car, under the headlight, over the manhole). And that was like 1/5 of the sticks I put there. Played around a few maps with the c4, seemed fine otherwise. Have not tried anything on stealth (did a four stores, shot guards etc, nothing crashed/happened).

But other than that, your monkey patch worked perfectly for me. Keep up the good work!

[Kilandor]

Honestly all I do here for this is just take the files Zenyr updates and put them in another folder and change a little text in the mod.txt, then upload the zip into the mod manager

So the credit is to Zenyr or anyone who actually pushes updates to the main repository

This trick won't work with the .luac (relase) version, will it? I tried to change the file ending from lua to luac in mod.txt, but it wont load properly (nothing at all to be precise).

[Kilandor]

Yea i've never tested it with the compiled lua files. I assumed it would have worked, if you want to update yourself you can update from the source. I will try it out with the compiled ones later.

You can use luac, it requires adjusting the mod.txt to add the c to the load line..

However I did forget that there are like roughly 2-3 slight changes from the non BLT version. One is to a function which I belive does not exist in BLT but operates slightly differetly under a different name. The other is to the save path for the configs.

So in short despite my earlier statements you cannot quite exactly just "drop in" a release from Zenyr

I don't belive r378 contains anything differently than r376. r376 is the last version listed in the repository so that is what I referenced. The download from poco lists r378. I took a look at the source of r378, however that make it hard to compare. I think its just a simple discrepency of version numbers. From what i've seen Zenyr is good about updating his repository. As soon as any updates / full releases are done I will update as needed.

[Spodi]

r376 should be the same as r378, but with luac instead of lua files. For some reason the Version number goes up by one or two after compiling.
Huh, i tried to drop in your GitHub Version and the one from Zenyr, and both failed to load for some reason (maybe one of the things you said). Strange enough it worked after i clicked "force redownload" in the ingame mod updater, but i lost all old settings because of the different save path (it deleted it and i didn't do a backup before... silly me). Ingame version states r376 now.

what happened to the hud? is it broken atm or what?

[Kilandor]

If you switched from Non-BLT to BLT your old save files should still be in the old PocoHud folder, you simply need to move them to mods/saves/

@Lex nothing has happened Update 70 (Golden Grin Casino) broke a few things but its been fixed

[Lex]

@Kilandor i mean why did Zenyr leave?

[Kilandor]

Zenyr hasn't left anything. Where are you getting Zenyr has left from?
Zenyr is still the primary developer of PocoHud.

Zenyr has never published a BLT version, its been maintained by people in the community and myself. This topic simply pertains to the BLT version and updating of it. People frequently ask about BLT version and updates. I got access to push updates to BLT through the updater. So I simply made this topic to let people know. With the hopes to remove some questions about BLT updates and so on.

[Lex]

i don't think i use BLT version

[Rasmus]

any news when the new version is gonna be up?

[Kilandor]

I pushed out the latest version 3 days ago. You should have been prompted to update and download.

Goto Options > Lua Mods > PocoHud
You should see Version: "381 0.29 hotfix 5 (73a8349)"

[Rasmus]

Alright, i just didnt have my BLT version of pocohud installed and thought we'd get a seperate new download from here cause the BLT site version was so old.

[~Snowball]

Hey, Kilandor. Do you know if there is a way to make PDTH hud and Poco hud more compatible? This probably needs more context, since there is no crashing or any big issues. The arrows pointing towards teammates work just fine, although I feel they would be better closer to the portraits but whatever. I wanted to ask about player location and ping, stuff like that. It's all underneath the health bar and overlaps. Is there any way to put it Just above the ammo count or something?
