Plutonium

Self explanatory title.

Click here for the guide!

I've been using OAT since like 8th-March-2024 and have seen immense modding potential in OAT, but very few people to exploit it. OAT stands for "Open-Asset Tools" by the way; Its creator is Laupetin.

The main reason of such unexploited potential to me is, the lack of proper guides and examples; they are mostly scattered, hard to find etc. So, I came up with my own!

It still is not complete though, it's just weapon ports for now, but I do plan to extend it even further as during the making of this guide, many new features have been introduced that I need to master and explore myself.

I am a high school student with many issues, lack of time being one of them, so that's why you haven't seen much from me...

Some things I removed are the T5 Death Machine port from SP/Campaign cuz of the weird weapon behavior of the port, character model ports because of the lack of experience with them and Map ports cuz of lack of experience and failed attempts

However, I will be adding them once I figure them out. I am yet to add PHD Flopper Port (Thx sehteria ) Paralyzer Port and maybe one more weapon or so. There is also download for the completed examples used in the guide.

Till then here's a little message for the modding community: Getchyo a55 up and START MODDING!!!

This is a mod that replaces TAC45 with the BO1's Silver M1911 for MP Only

I extracted&replaced the M1911's textures myself straight from BO1's game files. Although this mod is not complete it succeeds in doing its main job, replacing the TAC45 with BO1's M1911

Some more stuff that the mod does is:

• Replace some of animations of M1911 with B23r (looks way better)
• Adds ability to use attachments of TAC45 on M1911 as well (has some problems, will talk about later)
• Replaces sounds with the crispy BO1 M1911 sounds (also has a few problems)
• Increases damage by +2 and better fire rate but lower bullet range and less clip capacity

That is some of the goods compared to some of the troubles which are:

• M1911 animations tend to get quirky...
• Attachments can look odd to some and Dualweild M1911 is being worked on
• B23r reload sounds are also replaced with M1911 sounds because I can't get the B23r animations and BO1 reload sounds to be applied without messing with B23r's reload

==================================================================================

So yeah... that is all I've got to offer for now. Me being busy in CAIE exams will result in inactivity for a month or so and this mod is still in its development stage (hence, indev 0.1.5). You guys may use this mod as a reference in the future to build your own mods considering that this weapon porting thing is some great stuff yet not many are using it or at least releasing mods either due to some complexities, problems or lack of guides or references (IMO). This is not an abandoned project yet until I complete it but will stay not updated for a while. Pray my exams go best and I'll see ya guys after about a month.

Peace

==================================================================================

(Progress-Update as of 9th, May, 2024 : Re-continued work. Found out that I made M1911 damage +12 and not +2 than that of TAC45, making it a 2-shot kill. M1911 Akimbo done as a separate mod, now just need to merge this mod and the Akimbo mod, will work on animation+model refinements in later updates)

==================================================================================

Beta 1.0.1 Update:

• Added Dual weild M1911s
• Nerfed M1911's OP damage of 57 to 47 (M1911s still OP tho)

==================================================================================

Final note: There's nothing else to change here. I played around with the mod's files recently but no improvements can be made. For now, Beta 1.0.1 is the last/latest version, (Probably forever). After I release my second mod relating to weapons for zombies, I'll maybe quit playing games for probably months or even a year. Right now I am working on weapon porting tutorials to upload on Youtube

After many tries, I've improved this weapon as much as it was possible for me to do so. Took me lotta time because I was not familiar with custom models as much, but with the guidance provided by Laupetin (the creator of OAT), I was finally able to not only learn how port models from not just other COD games but make own custom models

Custom models are still quite limited, many weapons are not quite "compatible" with the animations. We don't have custom animations support yet, but custom models is all I need

One thing to point out, I used Makarov's (pistol) animations. They are Fiveseven enough and the Fiveseven keeps its sound .

Title says it all.

This texture pack is inspired by "[Release] (ZM) - Origins Enhanced Version" by https://forum.plutonium.pw/user/lkurama . All credits to him as he basically provided texture files from Black Ops 3 and I just edited and ported them onto Black Ops 2 .
Link to Origins Enhanced: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/16072/release-zm-origins-enhanced-version

Plus this mod is best used with "SoE perk icons" by https://forum.plutonium.pw/user/gewehr so thanks to him as well .
Link to SoE perk icons: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/16641/soe-perk-icons?_=1691293156841

Enjoy the textures I guess?

(UPDATE: Afterlife icon now updated to beast icon from SoE!)

Check it out
I did colt .1911 port first tho

These are just tests of the new custom model features of OAT so, there is more to come

Nacht be taking trip around the world lol

Kizzy2DD I think yes! Infact, MP is wayyy easier than ZM, but there are a few problems like camos. I tried doing that a while ago before getting busy with other projects...

https://youtu.be/l6e2fYPyA6g
Felt like showing off bit of possibilities to public. This vid right here shows Nacht Der Untoten from WAW ported to BO2. However, there are a few catches.

This has been placed in a barren section of Nuked-town Zombies using GSC. It's just the map mesh, no collisions, no Zombie AI paths. The collsions can be given thru GSC, but not the complex ones, only simple ones. I am not sure about Zombie AI paths workarounds. I haven't given it proper materials/textures yet, but that's 100% possible and ez

Also I left working on this, may pick it up again in 2025 or in between but I am too busy to work on it :3

Short answer: We have along way to go before proper custom maps. And in case you think of Nuketown2025=>NuketownT5, then sry, no, it won't work. I've tried...

Anyways, cya pple <:

It's gonna get some game-changing seasoning in a couple days cuz we just got a new ingredient to add some more flavour from other recipes

IHateBlackOps4 I'd actually like to just add the actual weapons instead of replacing already existing ones but I can't figure out how to get them in the weapons menu in customizing classes (redacted manages to do that tho so). I may work on that later but my main focus after my exams is gonna be adding Outbreak zombies (15/05/2024: Outbreak zombies seem very less likely for me, was gonna use campaign maps and assets which seems not so possible (atleast by me) sry for not living up to the hype I''l work on other weapon/map ports that are possible which are ZM<=>MP / MP<=>ZM )

If I am right t6 has a different game engine and stuff, also lacking proper mod tools like radiant for making custom maps the same way. However, you can port already existing assets from different game modes/maps to other game modes/maps. For that you gotta use OpenAssetTools from https://openassettools.dev/ to make fast files for your mod (for example, mod.ff) and link it to an original fast file (for example, common_mp.ff) using the batch file (build.bat) similar to that of what GSC Jezuz gave in the Discord server:

echo off

) ELSE (

echo FAIL!
)
pause

TBH, that is all I've been able to understand about the new mod implementation and am waiting for more precise tutorial for all this hope this helps anyone out there who comes across this post and figures out more of this.

Dayum, MP40 lookin' great! Keep up the work man :3

I am also currently changing the anims with a donor weapon anims, that being a launcher from Campaign FYI. Will be tweaking the model positions abit to make it a bit lowered but I doubt that is possible without having the hands clip in the weapon, those are the best model positions I could get

Took me ~10 trys just fixing the model positions and 24-25 trys in total to get this working, getting anims and etc. And dayum I was doing mods on try 1 not too long ago lmao

Laupetin provided a great mod example for custom models ( ) and Laupetin himself helped me understand model porting in blender so considerable reduction in the amount of tries

Noice one man, was going for a high round in a very long time with this one

Looks clonky cuz I haven't practiced it as much, like the new modding features. I literally alocated all my modding time into the Qooyak Guide that the Tacticia mod was left waiting for me to pick it up.
Welp that ain't happeining now, got a new goal

PHD Flopper ma baby! Keep up the hardwork man, this is game changing. You the sigma ohio boss doing the skibidi

tupivere_ You still working on this? cuz this looks awesome no cap

Kizzy2DD Try the weapons? Just so you know, porting isn't something that is just based off scripts and also, nawh, it ain't quite complete. Try taking a look at the examples in the Qooyak Guide and "Ma Boi, AK" mod cuz they should get ya all the info you'll need
