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.

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?

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.

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.

A small hotfix is now available.

Changes

• Fixed the Verrückt Perfect Box logic.
• Verrückt no longer tries to force the Wunderwaffe.
• Verrückt now forces:

1. Ray Gun
2. Monkey Bombs

• After Ray Gun and Monkey Bombs, the box should fall back to normal RNG.
• The Verrückt HUD tracker now tracks Ray instead of Waffe.

Thanks to the people who reported and tested this issue.

If you are already using v1.0.1, just download the new common_zombie_patch.ff from the latest GitHub release and replace the old one.

I’ll fix it and change that setup so Verrückt only uses the proper priority weapons/equipment, like the Ray Gun and monkeys. Thanks for pointing it out.

Do you mean:

The Wunderwaffe does not appear in the box at all?
The Wunderwaffe appears, but after taking it the next box hit shows nothing?
The box weapon becomes invisible?
You get the Waffe, but the box does not move on to the next available weapon?
Or are you saying the HUD tracker does not show/count the Waffe correctly?

The Wunderwaffe should be available on Verrückt, so if it gives you the Waffe but then nothing comes out after that, it may be an issue with my box order logic not falling back properly to the next valid weapon.

If the weapon is invisible or you cannot pick it up, it could also be caused by another weapon-related mod, animated camos or custom textures conflicting with the box.

Can you tell me the exact sequence of what happens? For example:

“First box gives Waffe, I take it, second box hit is invisible / gives nothing.”

That would help me know if this is a patch logic issue or a compatibility issue.

And yeah, Verrückt makes total sense then. It’s a really good map to grind if you’ve got the time for it, and I’m glad the patch can help you get some practice in.

The recommended setup is using the patch without animated camos or weapon texture mods installed.

I don’t have much experience with animated camo packs, and since they seem to modify weapon/material files, it may take some time to figure out what is conflicting with the box logic.

I’m also currently busy with exams, so I probably won’t be able to work on a compatibility version immediately.

If you can, send me the exact Bonecrusher animated camos files/mod you are using and I’ll take a look when I have time.

A new version is now available.

This update makes the Box Hits Tracker HUD much cleaner and more focused on high round practice.

Changes

• Removed the old “Good X/Y” line.
• Removed the X/Y weapon counter from the HUD.
• The HUD now shows only the percentage for each tracked weapon.
• The tracker now focuses only on the weapons that actually matter for high round practice and weapon cycling.

Example of the new HUD:

Box Hits: 7
TGun: 14%

Tracked weapons by map

Kino: TGun
Five: Ray / Monkey / Xbow
Ascension: TGun / Gersh
Call of the Dead: VR11
Shangri-La: Baby
Moon: Wave / Gersh / QEDs
Nacht: TGun
Verrückt: Waffe
Shi No Numa: Waffe
Der Riese: Waffe

The Perfect Box setup is still included. This update mainly improves the HUD so it is easier to read while playing.

Download the latest version from the GitHub Releases section:

https://github.com/Romay10/Plutonium-T5-Perfect-Box-Tracker/releases/latest

Thanks again for the feedback and support.

I wish I had more time to play right now, but I’m currently busy with exams. Once I’m done, I really want to grind Der Riese and get instas there, since it’s one of the maps I still need to properly work on.

Let me know how the patch feels on Verrückt if you test it.
