Unofficial VR port of the BLT modloading hook

This port is discontinued, use SuperBLT - it also has VR support, and is fully compatible with regular BLT mods. This old DLL will NOT show any mod option entries, and is kept only for archival reasons.

BLT for VR

I've finished what seems to be a complete port of the IPHLPAPI.dll BLT hook to the VR Beta. It's also compatible with the standard version, so you don't' need to swap around when switching between the VR Beta and the flat version.

Usage

Install the 'mods' folder from the normal version of BLT - that part doesn't change. Then download the hook (IPHLPAPI.dll) from below and put that into your PAYDAY 2 folder, instead of the one that came with BLT.

BLT will nag you to update - do not do so. That will revert you back to the standard version of BLT, and you'll have to download and overwrite the DLL again.

While I made it work with the VR Beta, that was a thousandth of the work it took the BLT team.

What to try if it crashes

1) Make sure you have the latest version of the hook DLL
2) Remove all mods other than the VR Improvements mod (if this fixes it, put them back one at a time until you find which one is causing crashes)
3) Remove your mod_overrides. If this fixes it, do the same as above putting the mods back one at a time to find the culprit.

Awesome to have someone working on this. Should BLT actually be working in VR now? Using your hook, the game doesn't crash, but BLT and my BLT mods don't appear.

Huh, that's odd. I'll look into it.

Can you delete the contents of your mods/logs folder, open the game then close it by clicking the 'quit' button on the projector, and then send me the contents of your mods/logs folder.

A Squared 17 Nov, 2017 @ 5:13pm

Yep. the only file is 2017_11_17_log.txt, which contains just:

08:11:33 PM Log: (..\src\http\http.cpp:43) CURL_INITD
08:12:07 PM Log: (..\src\http\http.cpp:48) CURL CLOSED

Huh, seems it's not getting loaded in the VR mode thank's to an update

A Squared 17 Nov, 2017 @ 5:37pm

Alright thanks, good to know that the issue isn't just on my end. I'm exicted to see VR mods being made.

Okay, the latest version should work.

[dr42] Moniker 17 Nov, 2017 @ 6:34pm

I appreciate how quickly you got this up and running, Do you have any mods planned for after you introduce a smoother locomotion?

ZNix

17 Nov, 2017 @ 6:36pm

Smooth locomotion? I'm working on that right now. I'll send an announcement when it's ready to be tested.

could you try to make beardlid work in vr? that way we maybe could even get custom heists to work in vr

Sounds cool, I'll do that a good bit later though (locomotion comes first).

So are we still not supposed to update this hook from within Payday? You said the mod can be auto updated now, but the hook also still nags every time at launch.

The hook is trying to update itself? I'll fix that in the next update of the main mod.

Or did you mean there's a popup that comes up, as opposed to the little thing in the corner? If so, you have to update the hook manually as the old versions don't support automatic updates.
