PAYDAY 2 Bundle Modder v1.

15
This tool is designed to simplify the creation and application of visual
modifications to the PAYDAY series of games.
DISCLAIMER: We are not responsible for what you do with this tool. If you get
yourself banned using this, that is on you.
Setup:
When your first launch the application, it will give you some important
information, you should read it. In case you missed it(shame on you for clicking
through so
quickly,) it details that this tool modifies game files, and while it creates ba
ckups,
you should always validate your game after OVERKILL has released a patch, let th
e
game update to completion, and then reapply any mods you wish to keep. Failure t
o
do so may result in undefined behaviour during gameplay, such as missing assets,
crashing, or corrupt textures.
Next, you must select your game assets folder. It should be under Program
Files->Steam->SteamApps->common->PAYDAY 2. It will then validate that you have s
elected the correct folder.
Applying a mod:
Go to "Apply Mod" tab.
Choose "Open Mod", select the mod package that you wish to apply, and then read
the description of the mod.
Click "Apply Mod".
Wait.

Choose "Add Mod(s)", select the mod package that you wish to apply. Repeat this
step for all mods
that you wish to apply in a bulk.

re modded files inside bundles.
Uninstalling Entire Bundles will restore original bundles.
Click "Uninstall Mod(s)".
Wait.

Wait.
Enjoy.
Creating a mod:
Enter the JPMod filename, or the file path relative to the extract folder. If
using JPMod file names with non-hex file extensions, make sure that you know the
engine specific file extension related to the file, as you will need to use that
.
.dds should be .texture for example.
Unchecked the "Use JPMod Style Names" checkbox if using file paths.
Browse for the file you want to replace the above bundle file with.
If your file needs to respect language filters(your JPMod file name has
something other than .0. in the center, or your file name has a third piece when
extracted using my tool) you should check the Language Specific File checkbox to
avoid
replacing unrelated files.
Choose Add Replacement File
Repeat as required by your mod.
Enter the name of your mod, your name, and then a description of what you
changed.
Select the version for which your mod is deigned for. This is to ensure tool co
mpatibility
with mods for the end users.
Click "Create Mod" save it somewhere. Distribute as you see fit. Test it
first.
Technical details:
Mod packages are simple zip files, and may be modified using a simple archive
tool if you so desire to do so. This is entirely unsupported, but should work. M
od
metadata is stored using JSON. Don't edit this file unless you are 100% sure you
know
what you are doing.
