Oddity?: Disabling BLT4L, yet Mod_overrides still works.

[dribbleondo]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but does the BLT4L lua hook enable Mod_overrides?, or does BLT4L somehow actually patch and modifies the binary itself to activate mod_overrides.

I ask this because when testing something, Mod_overrides functionality stayed, even when I removed the BLT4L command.

[RomanHargrave]

BLT4L applies a patch to PAYDAY at runtime

[RomanHargrave]

But it is not permanent

[dribbleondo]

So, as soon as remove the command from the steam launch options, Mod_overrides should be disabled, yes?

Because from what I can make out, that's not happening. Either Overkill has actually implemented Mod_overrides into the Linux Port, the game somehow "Knows" what to look for without the command, or I'm a special birdie.

[RomanHargrave]

That's interesting. Maybe it builds a database of overrides that it saves?

While it's within the realm of possibility for overkill to have fixed mod_overrides, it's not very probable. Reliable contact with the developers would certainly help, but they are hard to get in touch with.

[dribbleondo]

I'm gonna rename the mod_overrides folder, which should destroy any link to the game, even if it uses a database of sorts. I'll keep ya posted.

Some progress: downloaded a menu re-texture I knew I hadn't used from modworkshop....and it worked.

Overkill appears to have actually given us Linux folk Mod_overrides...and not announce that they'd done so.

I'd need other people to see if this is the case though. One persons install is not proof.

[RomanHargrave]

Have someone with a pristine install check.

[Ozymandias117]

Certainly seems like it's in official now.

I hadn't launched Payday 2 since June 2nd, and was on blt4l commit 6a3417f (enquote STEAM_LIBRARY in installer framework).

Removing the LD_PRELOAD and launching, I'm seeing mods from mod_overrides, even though I never had a blt4l that supported it.

[dribbleondo]

So it seems like Mod_overrides was added into the Linux version without Overkill telling us between June - August.

Thanks to the way steam works, we can download archived versions of Payday 2 manually

if we know the exact update, then we'll know when they added mod_overrides support.

[RomanHargrave]

I kind of want to have a look through PAYDAY after that mod_overrides update. I had told Joakim how to fix the issue, so that could have been it, but I wonder if it brings some helpful changes to the asset database.

Closing since nothing needs to be done. Feel free to keep discussing in here though.
