See if creating a SuperBLT4L hook is possible [Enhancement?]

[dribbleondo]

More info here

Might be beneficial as it allows for xml changes without the need for .pdmod patching, as well as OGG support for music (though I feel that may never happen on Linux...)

[ZNixian]

This is something I've been getting around to doing. I made sure to base the XAudio stuff (name is only coincidental with the DirectX audio system) off OpenAL specifically for this purpose.

I initially did all my research/early prototyping on GNU+Linux, and then ported it over to Windows, thanks to the binaries not being stripped on GNU+Linux.

I'll do some work on separating the SuperBLT stuff from the rest of BLT4W, as I have used very little (if any) windows-specific stuff in there.

[dribbleondo]

Awesome. Glad someone is looking into it =)

[RomanHargrave]

I'll hopefully be able to sit down and catch up next week. So i can definitely look at this and see what needs to be added for proper support.

[ZNixian]

I've done quite a bit of work building headers on many of the relevant classes, so I'll throw them on the wiki at some point.

Edit: Wrong thread, thought this was on the reconnaissance repo.

[RomanHargrave]

Adding the headers to the include directory in blt4l would probably be a good idea.

[Kazenin]

How to compile on Linux??

[ZNixian]

Progress update: I've separated out (with the exception of the debugging module, which uses Winsock and I haven't been bothered to look at yet) all the windows-specific code in SuperBLT is moved into it's own module; I'll try merging it and the relevant parts of BLT4L together, and hopefully get a single codebase for both the Windows and GNU+Linux versions of SuperBLT.

[dribbleondo]

awesome work =D

[dribbleondo]

OK, did some compiling and (finally) figured out how to load the damn thing. Upside is that Custom Music Tracks work! Downside is the file to give it it's name doesn't. I did a compile on Mint 18.3 as usual, and uploaded it here for those interested in trying it out on Debian-based systems, like Ubuntu, Mint and the like.

[Kazenin]

I will try in fedora

[Kazenin]

@dribbleondo how to compile ?

[dribbleondo]

You require Clang 3.5 or above, apart from that, use the compile instructions on the readme

[Kazenin]

in Fedora:

$ sudo dnf install openal-soft-devel libcxx-devel openssl-devel clang-devel zlib-devel cmake
$ git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/znixian/payday2-superblt.git
$ cd payday2-superblt && mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DUSE_LIBCXX=1 ..
$ make

Several warnings created but the process is done

$ make

Thanks for help

[ZNixian]

Please excuse mind the warnings (for now, I plan to fix them), it's source code is directly based off the original PD2 hook which didn't pay much attention to warnings

[ZNixian]

For the latest version compiled on Ubuntu, check the GitLab CI jobs page and download the latest (top) successful build's artefacts.

[ZNixian]

As of now SuperBLT has fully functional asset support, regardless of compiler (commit that adds this, if someone wants to copy it to BLT4L).

This was (AFAIK) the last major thing BLT4L supported that SuperBLT didn't, so I'll close the issue.
