Where do you see a connection to Castlevania? The bottom two masks in that image both have connections to France: Dallas's mask represents the French flag and Hoxton's mask has the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur-de-lis]fleur-de-lis[/url] symbol. The top right mask, Chains's, has a silhouette of a tree that's identical to a tree seen in one of the paintings in Counterfeit. Hence, the popular theory at the moment is that this mask set is tied to the supposed secret of Counterfeit since Mitchell is thought to be French. However, these masks are not yet defined in the game files, so they can't be used at all. We don't even know the name of the set yet. Anywho, the watermark on that image bothered me, so I modded the default clown masks to use these new Counterfeit mask textures so as to better display them: [thumb]http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/152/2012090200011.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/6104/2012090200018.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/6/2012090200021.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/4361/2012090200026.jpg[/thumb]

So, uh, how do cops arrive in time to stop a heist on a boat. Or, get alerted at all if they infiltrate it?

[QUOTE=Marphy Black;37516941] [thumb]http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/6104/2012090200018.jpg[/thumb] [/QUOTE] Aw, I wanted that mask to be for Wolf. Great job anyway.

[QUOTE=Zeos;37517148]So, uh, how do cops arrive in time to stop a heist on a boat. Or, get alerted at all if they infiltrate it?[/QUOTE] Why do the cops send so many guys even after they keep dying? Why does the bulletproof vest regenerate? Why don't you carry the bags of money you steal from FWB? Why don't they just shoot at you from above? Why don't they just bomb you? Its a game, I don't think it needs to be that realistic. A boat map could be fun.

[QUOTE=Zeos;37517148]So, uh, how do cops arrive in time to stop a heist on a boat. Or, get alerted at all if they infiltrate it?[/QUOTE] they come on helis like on green bridge I guess. If overkill doesn't decide to go with the bullshit "let's just spawn cops on the boat" route

New, insta-teleportation devices.

[QUOTE=Zeos;37517531]New, insta-teleportation devices.[/QUOTE] New? They already have those.

A user on SPUF sent an email to Simon Viklund about the 'new masks' and got this response. [IMG]http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/6906/ohdearw.png[/IMG] Source: [url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2920120[/url]

[QUOTE=t h e;37520183]How did you go about doing this?[/QUOTE]I used the [url=https://sites.google.com/site/jpmodfiles/localize/payday-the-heist]Payday Bundle File Tool[/url] to unbundle the game's bundle files, found the original and Counterfeit mask textures (they're in standard dds format), replaced the originals with the new ones, and then rebundled the bundle to be used in the game. The tricky part here is that all of the file names from the unbundled content are obfuscated and there happen to be tens of thousands of files to sift through, not to mention you have to determine which of the 205 arbitrarily titled bundles a particular texture is in. [QUOTE=mat500;37520707]could you give us a link to the textures ?[/QUOTE]Do you just want the mask texture sheets or the modded bundle so you can use the masks in-game? The latter is an 85mb file which is definitely going to break come the next Payday update, so it's not really worth releasing.

May I ask, is there anyway to eliminate the smoke entirely from the game? Or atleast edit it out? It doesn't really make the game anymore challenging, just turns it into a clusterfuck on maps like Panic Room and Undercver.

[QUOTE=mat500;37524542]the twice please[/QUOTE]Sorry, but I won't release the modded package file. There's a few complications surrounding it. [QUOTE=VietRooster2;37526094]May I ask, is there anyway to eliminate the smoke entirely from the game? Or atleast edit it out?[/QUOTE]Theoretically, it is possible to modify the smoke texture to make it fully transparent (I'm assuming it's just a simple alpha mask), but finding it would be nearly impossible as you'd have to single out some nondescript gray clouds among thousands of unnamed textures. Anyway, I have been further investigating the limits of what modding capabilities we have and this is what I came up with: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIqjZyTBXbQ[/media]

This is why we need mod support many great games can live longer thanks to the community support. Payday has potential for big mods.

Successfully manage to get a Heavy Swat give up for the first time, unlocking the challenge will level me up and heal the health I desperately need. (Panic Room on Hard) Just as the Swat is reaching for his cuffs, this random guy (Was just me, 2 friends and Bot Wolf, he just joined mid-game) runs up and shoots several shotgun blasts into him. I just look up and stare at him for a moment, I'm then instantly incapacitated by a shotgun wielding Blue Swat, my 2 friends are pinned upstairs, the guy playing as Wolf runs off downstairs and is gunned down by shields. We were better off with Bot Wolf.

When you get idiots like those, you can do shit like don't heal them when they are downed, or until the last second, and not trade them when they can be traded.

Just got this game recently, and I just cannot stop thinking Dallas looks like a younger, less chubby version of Bam Margera..I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this, the image is set in my mind and I will never be able to un-see it.
