Matrix said in How to mod & play with friends safely?:

Infinite ammo cannot be done client-side.

Since my client hosts the game - let's say a custom zombie lobby - if I change the value of the amount of bullets, it will be the default in the game, since I am the server. I could do that, so it is possible, but only if I host the game. Of course on external server it won't work, which is perfectly fine, because it was for me and my friends. Maybe infinite ammo was a bad example, but changing values inside your client is possible, since it acts like a server when I do host the game. Hope it was understandable

Thanks for the answer anyways!! I will check dedicated servers & mods, thanks!

Ohh, its a client side mod. I overwrite data on specific memory adresses, so my client uses "hacked" data, like infinite ammo. It is unable to do it if my client is not the host machine.

So I got into creating a mod menu for BO2 Zombies lately, just for fun, I always wondered how these things are working. I managed to do simple functions like being able to modify the ammo in my weapon, or taking no damage from zombies, it could be really fun. I played a few rounds just to figure out how to do it properly, not by hand, next thing I got banned for a week.

That's ok, since I was "cheating" technically, but I was in a custom game alone / with a friend. I know there is a way to disable anti-cheat, but I would like to play with my friends while using my mods. I do not intend to use this in any public lobby! And I can't find a way to disable anti-cheat and play with friends, we were unable to join each other's game.

Can you please link a short tutorial so I can cheat in a lobby with my friends, while not getting banned permanently?
