A staff member sent me a very suspicious file

matatron

I was dming staff members because I had an issue with origins (I didn't ask in the discord server cuz i got banned 1 week for saying that bo2 multiplayer has a ton of cheaters) and one of them sent a 1kb file named BO2-SpawnRateFix.zip. I don't know is that really a file that will fix my issue or if he just sent me a virus or something, and I wanted to know if that file is really what I need

matatron how is it suspicious? It probably contains game scripts which are just a few lines of text so they are gonna be small. Our staff does not send malware to people..

Well a .zip file is just an archive so it's safe.
It's like asking if a folder is safe.
Without seeing its content we can't answer.

But Plutonium staff are known people so none of them would send malware.
If you open the zip file it's probably GSC scripts or whatever game files is necessary to do what you wanted.

Dss0 Because it is a 1kb file

matatron and? it's a compiled rar, also whatever he sent could be a super small file?

matatron if you open notepad and write a word it will be 1kb how is this suspicious/weird?
An archive compresses files which is why it's always lighter than the actual files and which is why you always have to extract those files

matatron

Resxt This is not a notepad, this is suposed to be a patch for a bug, and there is no way that it is 1kb

matatron

Also i have another question, why a bug in origins making the staff unable to kill is because of the tickrate?

FragsAreUs

the reason of the file being 1k is because the fix for your said issue is Letterly 10 lines long and the gsc for it was already compiled just for you

main()
{
	replaceFunc( maps\mp\animscripts\zm_utility::wait_network_frame, ::wait_network_frame_override );
	replaceFunc( maps\mp\zombies\_zm_utility::wait_network_frame, ::wait_network_frame_override );
}

wait_network_frame_override()
{
	wait 0.1;
}

FragsAreUs Man, idk, there were 2 files on the .zip actually, and I didn't had a good experience talking to other staff members, none of them wanted to help me. I don't know if i should trust this one

FragsAreUs

yes the non compiled version of the script I just posted and the other file in the compiled version of the script

matatron please explain why its technically impossible for the file to be 1kb.

You asked for explanations, we explained and you're still not happy.
Either don't use it at all or listen to what we say or provide the files so we can know what we're talking about.
You're saying a zip file cannot be 1kb and "it was not a notepad file" whatever that means how are we supposed to give a good answer.

The final answer is just that these are .gsc scripts which is just a text file, a script, that runs in Plutonium and does things in game like modifying zombies health or whatever, it's just a Call of Duty script it cannot harm your PC
