What does this mod do?
It has three different modules at the moment that change:
Cursed Gallery - Replaces paintings in the art gallery heist and the paintings in framing frame and subsequently the senator's house.
Cursed Van - Replaces the default escape van. (The one with the weird stripe down the sides of the van)
E-Girl World Bank - Replaces the First World bank's paintings, flags and engraved glass. Also replaces random American flags in different heists, this is a result of textures from the First World Bank being shared with other heists.
As it says in the installation area, you can pick and choose between the 3 different modules (Cursed Gallery, Cursed Van, E-Girl World Bank). You can have all of them active at the same time or just one if you want.
Updates
the auto-update thing is sort of not working so i'll have to find a workaround, just check back time to time for stuff like this /
verbal progress update idk what to call it, there's nothing new it's like a news flash or something
yeah so i completely forgot this mod existed for like 2 weeks or smn, GTA 5 was free to download on epic games i hope you picked that shit up so that's what i've been doing. as for the mod, i have no intention to play payday 2. i'll have to see how my motivation goes. one thing that I do expect to finish at some point in the future is an updated van reskin. i'll use the highest resolution pictures. i'll upscale the van so much it's gonna be like 500 mb or smn crazy. but yeah. dont expect much else. this was and is a passion project and right now i don't have much reason personally to continue. and uhhh yeah, i'll do the van reskin at some point. it might be the last thing i ever do as i'm lying on my death bed, but expect it to be done at some point.
feel free to leave comments about improvements or any other shit that i can laugh at
To do:
re-do escape van with high-res pictures.
The billboard above bank heist <<< I still can't find this fucking thing
Shacklethorn mansion paintings <<< Can't find this either
Random paintings inside shadow raid <<< randomly running into them while heisting will give me a good laugh
general troubleshooting <<< ongoing effort, i figure as long as I do it right the first time round, there won't be any issues
leaflet stands and banners inside art gallery
scarface mansion paintings
FAQ:
Q - Why
A - I wanted to burn my friend's eyes and then I figured that everyone should be able to share in his pain. I guess it's also a sort of homage to Bella Dolphin since she's forever gone lol
Q - blah blah blah generic problem
A - See to do list otherwise leave a detailed-ish comment
Q - Generic "I don't like this existing" complaint
A - neither do I, but what can you do.
Q - will you replace specific/generic painting or image
A- Maybe, leave a comment with location/heist
Installation:
The requirements below (BeardLIB, SuperBLT and All paintings script) are only necessary to have more than 30 paintings to have the chance to appear in the gallery. The base game has 83 paintings that can spawn, but the majority are not enabled to spawn. This is strongly recommended but not necessary. Stuff is pretty easy to install, i mean shit, i could do it lol
Requirements for full 83 paintings: BeardLIB, SuperBLT, All painting gallery script <<< will link all this shit below
If you do not want/need the full 83 paintings you can skip these steps altogether and jump straight to the Cursed Replacements
Requirement installation
SuperBLT
Download from here, find the sidebar and download the latest released DLL.
Drag it into the main payday 2 directory. whoops not into the mods folder haha
Run the game and follow instructions from the popups about the BLT basemod
BeardLIB
Download from here
Drag it into the same "mods" folder as before
All gallery paintings
Download from here here - anonfile link <<< quick disclaimer, this takes you to anonfile, you can download the mod from modworkshop but you need to go into mod.txt and add in a line of code as seen below that is in bold. The only difference between the original mod and the one uploaded above is that I have already added in the line for your convenience. Aren't I nice.
{
"name" : "All Paintings in the Gallery",
"description" : "This restores unused paintings to the Art Gallery.",
"author" : "Martini",
"contact" : "[email protected]",
"bltversion" : 2
"version" : "1",
"priority" : 45,
So, to clarify; Unzip the file "PaintingsInGallery" and put the folder into the "mods" folder as mentioned before
Make sure that in the mod.txt (within the PaintingsInGallery folder) the code is as seen above and that the bold line is present (as in type it in.)
This is of course only if you did not download from the anonfile link with the already edited mod.txt.
Bella Dolphin Cursed Replacements
There is now a third module that one can choose to have, simply download the .zip and then drag
however many modules you want into PAYDAY 2\assets\mod_overrides <<<(so that the unzipped folders are inside of mod_overrides)
You can have one module or three modules. The choice is yours.
However it should be noted that the Cursed Gallery still requires the previous steps (Beardlib, AllGalleryPaintings and SuperBLT) to have all 83 paintings the chance to spawn rather than the base game 30.
Update 0.65 closing notes
So yeah, that's another update. I might come back to change a few of the "abstract" paintings and make them look a bit more unique but here it is. And I actually kept to schedule. Incredible. Oh and also, if the installation looks painful to the eyes, I might make a short installation tutorial video.
