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

Claaark

Phantomal
Hey, I already made a hotfix for it in v1.0.2.

The Verrückt setup no longer uses the Wunderwaffe. It now forces:

Ray Gun
Monkey Bombs

After that, the box should fall back to normal RNG.

I tested the hotfix and Verrückt should be working properly now. Download the latest version from the GitHub release page and make sure you replace the old file with the new common_zombie_patch.ff.

This patch is only made for Black Ops 1 / Plutonium T5 Zombies.

Phantomal

Claaark oop I hadn't refreshed the page, my bad. Appreciate your work mate

Claaark

Phantomal No worries at all, glad it makes sense now.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Let me know if you run into anything else or if the v1.0.2 hotfix gives you any issues on Verrückt.

not working

Claaark

smkoban2 Can you give me more details? “Not working” is too vague for me to know what’s wrong.

Please check first:

Are you using the latest version, v1.0.2?
Did you download common_zombie_patch.ff from the GitHub Releases section?
Is the file named exactly common_zombie_patch.ff?
Not common_zombie_patch (1).ff
Not common_zombie_patch.ff.txt
Is it placed here?

am i able to download this mod and edit the loot pool and values? if so, how do we edit these values? also as a mod maker, is it possible to add wonder weapons to maps they are not normally found on? id love to use the scavenger and baby gun and wave gun on maps they arent normally found on, how hard is this to accomplish stabily in your opinion?

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.

LUMCHAN

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.
