How to update your mod to BLT 2
Hi,
BLT 2 changed a bunch of stuff, and you might need to update your mod if it doesn't work anymore.
New mod.txt keys
There is new keys for the mod.txt file:
"blt_version" : 2, // This key is now needed if you want to get rid of the red text "this mod is outdated"
"image" : "blt.png", // Used if you want to add an icon to your mod.
"color" : "255 0 255", // This will determine the color of your mod box in the mod manager.
"undisablable" : true, // Setting to true will prevent players to disable your mod
"disable_safe_mode" : false, // Not sure what is safe mode. Leave it to false i guessMod options node changed
If your mod used options, you will need to change the parent_menu_id from lua_mod_options_menu to blt_options
New BLT functions
The doc hasn't been updated so you can always check what changed in the BLT github: https://github.com/JamesWilko/Payday-2-BLT-Lua

To repair the menu settings, there are 2 methods depending on the mod
Simple fix: Search the menu.txt, options.txt or other file that content "parent_menu_id", and change the value for: "blt_options"
A more complex (A little) Search in lua base of mod the line that content MenuHelper:AddMenuItem(...., example:
MenuHelper:AddMenuItem(MenuHelper:GetMenu("lua_mod_options_menu"),....
and, change that for MenuHelper:AddMenuItem(nodes["blt_options"],....
