T4 = World At War
(Codename for Treyarchs 4th game)

I just want to update / already have the game installed?

If you already have the game installed from steam then you can skip the below section and move onto the Plutonium Launcher section.

Installing the base game (WAW)

This section will cover downloading a copy of WAW. Please skip this section if you already have a copy of the game.

Please note we highly recommend buying the game if you do not own it, it is the best way to get a copy of the game files that are up to date and not corrupt or changed in some way. Key sites will give you a decent discount in 2021.

1. Create a folder on any drive called Games.

2. Download/open your favorite torrent software.
   qBittorent Windows x64 is recommended: https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent.html

3. Download the torrent file: https://dss0.cc/alterwarez/download/pluto_t4_full_game.torrent

4. Open the torrent file, it will open up your torrent client program and ask you where you'd like to save the game.
   SELECT THE GAMES FOLDER AS THE SAVE LOCATION, YOU CREATED IT IN STEP 1

5. Start the download and wait till the download completes you will know it's done when it 100% and the status changes to Seeding.

Once it says Seeding, you can delete it from qBittorrent.

Once it's done you will have your copy of the game downloaded, here is an example of a completed base game folder:

Plutonium Launcher

This section will cover installing using the Plutonium Launcher. This launcher is used to start the game and is also how updates are applied for our supported games.

1. Click the following link to download the launcher
   You can save the launcher anywhere you want, somewhere convenient such as your desktop or the game folder.

2. Open the launcher, if smart screen comes up click More info, then Run anyway

3. Enter your forum credentials to login, if you don't already have a forum account you can create one here: https://forum.plutonium.pw/register

4. Navigate to World at War and then hit SETUP and then select your World at War game folder:
   

If you are using a steam copy it will be in this location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty World At War

If you are using the torrent it will be in a folder named pluto_t4_full_game

(If you ever need to reselect the game folder, simply click the COG icon next to the PLAY button)

Getting this error?

As the error says you have an invalid game path selected in the launcher. To fix this issue click the cog to reselect your game folder.

Congratulations you have completed the installation guide.

To launch WAW simply open the Plutonium launcher and select PLAY

Why is my antivirus saying Plutonium is a virus?

Plutonium is what's known as a false positive (your antivirus thinks Plutonium is a virus, when in reality Plutonium is 100% clean.)
The devs behind this project have been working on this project for years and tons of hard work has gone into this. They wouldn't risk all their credibility by compromising your PC with malware.

Why is this happening?

Plutonium is modifying the games in memory, just like a virus would manipulate other programs thus causing this false detection

How do I fix this?

We have a video tutorial on how to add exclusions to Windows Defender here:
Youtube Video – [00:07..]

Alternatively, if you want a faster method you can run a powershell command here:

Learn how to add a folder exclusion for Plutonium for your specific AV here:
Malwarebytes | Avast | Norton | Kaspersky | AVG | Bitdefender | ESET NOD32 | G Data | Ahnlab

Note: the folder you want to exclude is: C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME-HERE\AppData\Local\Plutonium

• Please reply to this thread if we are missing your specific antivirus and we will add the help article.

• If you are using Web Root/McAfee we recommend to flat out uninstall them.

• If you cannot find the "AppData" folder when you go to add an exclusion, you will have to enable hidden folders. To do this, open a new file explorer window, click the "View" tab and check "Hidden items".

Thank you for continuing to play and support the Plutonium Project.

Server guide for T4

Requirements:
A PC/VPS, running either Windows 10 or Windows Server 2019.
The ability to port forward
A Plutonium forum account
Notepad++/Any other code editor

In this tutorial, I will assume that you have installed T4 to C:\gameserver\T4 already.

1. Preparation

1. Download the Plutonium Launcher
2. Download the T4 Config Files
3. Save/Extract the configs to C:\gameserver\T4

1.2 Creating a server key

1. Open the Plutonium Server Key page.
2. Fill in the name of the server and select the correct game.
3. Click on create, then copy the server key.
4. Paste the key into the start bat under set key=xxxx, replace xxxx with your key.

2. Basic configuration and the first start
Edit your server.cfg file with whatever changes you want (i.e. RCON Password/Map Rotation/Round Limits/etc/etc).

3. Advanced (Mods / FastDL)
You can read our guide here about loading mods onto a dedicated server.

To setup FastDL, you must install a web server. For Windows, WAMP works. As long as you put mods and usermaps folders into wwwroot so they are accessible via http://yourserverip/mods and /usermaps you should be good to setup sv_wwwBaseURL.

In your server config, make sure sv_wwwBaseURL is set to your public IP address's http server, so for example: sv_wwwBaseURL "http://100.100.100.10"

Launching the Server:
Double click the bat file.
Wait for the server to finish loading.

4. (Optional) Slimming down server directory

• You can delete the video folder inside main.
• You can remove certain files from IWDs (Use 7-Zip to open IWDs)
• You can remove images from iw_00.
• You can remove the entire IWD of files iw_01 through iw_13.
• You can remove images and sound from iw_14.
• You can delete iw_15 through iw_20.
• Do NOT touch iw_21.
• You can remove images and sound from iw_22.
• You can delete iw_23.
• You can remove images from iw_24
• You can delete iw_25.
• You can remove images and sound from iw_26.
• You can delete iw_27.
• You can remove images and sound from localized_english_iw00.
• You can delete localized_english_iw01 through localized_english_iw03.
• You can remove images and sound from localized_english_iw04.
• You can delete localized_english_iw05 and localized_english_iw06.

5. (Optional) Install a server management tool

6. (Optional) Hosting a second server
Make a copy of the start.bat file and the server.cfg file and rename them.
Edit the server.cfg to meet your needs.
Edit the copy of the bat file to: use your new server key, use a new port, and use your new config file.
(You must forward the second port as well)
Start the server through the new .bat file.

FAQ
Q: Why can't I find my server hosted at home while others can?
A: Your router probably doesn't support NAT-Loopback (aka. NAT-Reflection) and that's why it doesn't know how to forward the network traffic. In order to connect it use your internal IP or 127.0.0.1 if its hosted on the same machine.

// Locked at request of OP.

Going to disagree.

Pick 10 allows many more customizable things that previous/games w/o pick 10 just don't allow you to do.

Want three attachments on a gun? Pick 10.
Want 6 perks without kills? Pick 10.

Just a couple examples.

In this guide, I'll be showing you how to repair your IW5 Installation.

Requirements:

Steam

Instructions:

Open Steam and check Tools under the Games dropdown, by the search bar.

Search for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

Right-click the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 - Dedicated Server, then click Properties

Now click on the Local Files tab, followed by Verify Integrity of game files

Congratulations, your game files should now be repaired.

Almost all these issues can be solved by creating your own dedicated server.

Recording Demos

• When you start your game up, verify that demo_recordPrivateMatch is set to 1. You can set it by opening the console using the tilde key ~ and then typing demo_recordPrivateMatch 1.

Playing Demos (Theater Mode)

• Find the demo you wish to play, you can find the demo file name by going into your game folder, then t6r/data/demos

• To load a demo simply enter demo_play <demo_file_name>

Congratulations, you should now be in theater mode!

If you open the game console with the tilde key, you can type

/unlockall

and you will get everything.

That's how MW3 was man, gotta adapt to it.

Start a solo match then have them connect. I have edited the guide.

Locking this topic, for reference use the forum search and you would've found the solution.

Maybe, I wouldn't see why not.

/com_maxfps 333

1st issue is the dedicated server you are trying to join is outdated, wait for them to update.

2nd issue stats had to be reset, so just unlockall again.
