[ZM][T5] BO1 Perfect Box Patch + Box Hits Tracker HUD

[Claaark]

Sun4All Yeah, you can edit it if you want. I don’t mind people modifying it for their own setups, just give credit if you release a modified version publicly.

For editing the loot pool / box values, the logic is inside the common_zombie_patch.ff, so it is not as simple as editing a normal config file. You would need to extract/decompile the relevant GSC, edit the weapon order / box logic, then rebuild or patch the .ff again. Most of the current logic is basically map checks + forced weapon returns for the Mystery Box.

About adding wonder weapons to maps where they are not normally available: in my opinion, that is much harder to do properly and stable.

If the weapon is not loaded/preloaded by that map, simply forcing the weapon name can cause issues like invisible weapons, the box giving nothing, crashes, missing sounds, missing FX, or broken animations. That is basically what happened with the Verrückt/Waffe issue.

To do it properly, you would likely need to port or load all the required assets for that weapon, such as:

• weapon files
• models
• animations
• sounds
• FX
• scripts
• precache/zone references

So adding something like Scavenger, Baby Gun or Wave Gun to maps where they do not normally exist is probably possible, but I would not call it easy or guaranteed stable. It is more of a proper weapon porting/custom mod project than a simple loot pool edit.

Is there an option to not have the script rig items? I only want the box to start near spawn.

[Claaark]

LUMCHAN Not in the current version, no.

Right now the patch is built around the Perfect Box logic, so it forces the box setup/weapons and also places the box in the best/needed location depending on the map.

What you are asking for would be a different type of script: a “fixed box spawn” patch only, without rigged/forced box weapons.

It should be possible to make a separate version that only controls the starting box location, but it depends on the map. Some maps already have a fixed/default box spawn. For example, Der Riese starts at power. Ascension also has its default starting box location at power. Other maps, like Kino der Toten, can have different box spawn locations.

So yes, a separate fixed-box-only version could probably be made, but the current release does not have an option to disable the forced weapon logic while keeping only the box location changes.

Is there a version without the HUD/information? I just want the perfect box patch. I don't want the HUD. Can you make one?

[Claaark]

@freepalestine4ev Not at the moment, but I can definitely consider making a “minimal” version without the HUD if there is enough interest. Right now, the HUD is integrated into the patch, so the current release does not include an option to disable it separately.
