Hi-Fi Rush - Chai - LAS Bundle

This is what happens when you let Chai play videogames.

Hello and welcome! It's been a while.

This LAS bundle brings together the electrifying rhythm-action enigmatic character Chai into PAYDAY 2.
Comes with two new melee weapons and a mask that is exclusive to this LAS Bundle.

Features:

Chai from Hi-Fi Rush: Featuring Gloves and Mask Support, as usual coming from my releases.
Model Cel Shading: This mod mimicks the use of model lighting based on the original appearance.
Quite Expressive in terms of movement.
Two Melee Weapons: Unleash your rhythmic fury with two new melee weapons, each with its own distinct style that Chai possesses, whether you like to smack people with Electronics or Paralyzing Scrap metal featuring custom sounds.
New Mask: Less said about it the better. Available in Chai's own Mask Category.
Basic Compression Alghorithm: More stuff for less amount of space.

Requirements:

SuperBLT: Ensure you have SuperBLT installed.
BeardLib: Make sure BeardLib is also installed.
Legendary Armour Skins: This mod requires Legendary Armour Skins to function properly
(Note: Both the Framework and this Bundle Mod must be in a mod_overrides folder. Otherwise you will run into problems and say it doesn't load.)
DXVK (as of March 2024): Most of my mods that released recently now rely on DXVK.
While not strictly necessary, DXVK offers features that the old PAYDAY's D3D9 doesn't support. It includes additional cache for memory storage, allowing you to exceed 4GB of memory usage (3.850MB in total) dedicated in PAYDAY's version of the Diesel Engine. Plus, it reduces the likelihood of crashes by utilizing the Vulkan API and heavily improves the stability of the game and for a mod user, I heavily recommend it as it is as close as you'll get to the imaginary 64 bit application experience.
Please note that installation instructions are available on the GitHub page regarding DXVK. Please do not ask me how to Install it in the comments.

Installation

Download the mod archive and open it either with Winrar or 7-Zip. I am personally using .7z for my mods now so please, use 7-Zip to extract the content from it otherwise you will run into compression/error problems from WinRAR, at worst one of the crucial mod elements being corrupted in the process.

Move the extracted folder to your mod_overrides folder. For example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PAYDAY 2\assets\mod_overrides

If you're not sure how to install mod_override mods, please refer to this guide.
https://wiki.modworkshop.net/books/payday-2/page/installing-mod_override-mods
Again, make sure that Legendary Armour Skins is in your mod_overrides folder, not mods, it has to be in mod_overrides. I see way too many folks installing it incorrectly so and putting it in a folder it was never meant to be in so please, don't do that.

About the Port

This port was made with love and care. Special thanks to Zach for being a part of it.

Support the Mod

If you like the mod, you can leave me a tip over on my ko-fi page. I appreciate it because my mods take a lot of time, effort, and planning to meet my standard demands that I expect from myself when it comes to mods like this.
