PD2-Squids-QOL

A payday 2 BLT mod that focuses on quality of life improvements

---

Features

• Integrated with BLT keybinds and options system
• Restart mission on keypress
• Remove job heat penalty for doing the same heist multiple times in a row
• Force everyone to ready up (without losing assets)
• Transfer spending cash to offshore (useful for infamy)

Installation

1. First you will need to download and install SuperBLT for this mod to work.

• Click the Latest Release DLL to download a zip containing the DLL
• Extract the zip and place the DLL into your Payday 2 folder (where payday2_win32_release.exe is)
• Run the game so it can initialize all the required components

2. Download the zip from the releases section and extract the SquidsQOL folder into your Payday 2/mods folder so that the structure looks like this:

Localization Support

If you'd like to submit translations for the mod you can clone the repo and copy the en.json files, rename them to a supported locale abbreviation (ex. de is german/deutsch), and translate the words on the right (they must stay inside double quotation marks). For example, "common_yes": "Yes" translated to german would be "common_yes": "Ja".

See the list of supported locales below:

Abbreviation	Language
chs	Simplified Chinese
cht	Traditional Chinese
de	German
en	English
es	Spanish
fr	French
id	Indonesian
it	Italian
ja	Japanese
ko	Korean
nl	Dutch
pl	Polish
pt-br	Brazilian Portuguese
ru	Russian
sv	Swedish
tr	Turkish

Developer Notes

This started originally because I wanted a couple features that I couldn't find in other mods, or were done poorly. I'm unsure if I will continue to expand on this mod in the future but am welcome to community additions.

Below is a list of ideas that I had to implement but haven't gotten around to adding:

• Taser immunity
• Force objective hints to show up
• Move items in inventory without equipping them
• Removing the bulky payday cursor image and leaving it as the os default
• Auto ready up in lobby for afk-ing while with friends
