Plutonium

Phoxphor said in How to appeal a ban?:

a few years ago i was banned for trying to use injection hacks to modify my class loadouts names and what not. i think it was sometime back in ‎2023 when i was like 15, im perm banned and im just trying to play black ops 2 for some nostalgia, dont plan on messing with anything of the sorts. can someone help out?

As far as I know, Pluto staff doesn't handle "unbans." Bans and unbans are automated, so you must wait for the time stated in the notification.
Usually, it’s 7 days if it’s your first time, unless you were trying to evade the ban (by creating multiple accounts).
In that case, you will receive a 10-year ban.

GateDiggers said in T4, T5, T6, IW5 naming is not user friendly:

These names are code names that only the developers would know. Why should we the end user/player have to memorize these code names instead of familiar names such as Black Ops 1, Black Ops 2, MW3 that we already know. Why add this touch?

Those names are older than you, I can promise that.
The first time I heard about “IW5” was from FD1 (Four Delta One), same with T5.
And it’s not that hard to figure out which games they’re based on from their code names.

Most of the crashes can be resolved by using the "Repair files" option in Steam.

Weapon camos only affect the person who has installed them.
For instance, if you were playing vanilla MW3 and you got all the gold camos unlocked, and I joined the same server, you would not be able to see if I have a custom gold camo or not. Because the game will only show you the camos that you have installed (the defaults).

But in MW3, the profile pictures are rendered into the game. I don't mind that some weirdo uses NSFW as camo.
But why do I have to see some random male or female genitalia every time I get killed? It’s not my problem that they have the necessity to jerk off every 30 seconds or so.

Link is not longer active, could you fix it pls?

It happens the same way in Call of Duty Mobile, where some players abused the system and ended up using NSFW profile pictures if you were logged in with Facebook or Google.
Eventually, Activision disabled that option — and something similar happened with Farlight 84.
I think NSFW content should be completely banned. I come to Plutonium to play games and relive some old memories, not to see random weirdo using inappropriate NSFW profiles.
For example, Zloemu allows in-game avatars for Battlefield 4, but on their page they clearly state:

“No Nazi, porn, etc.
Breaking this rule will result in your avatar being disabled.”

This platform is not a porn site — so it’s only normal that such content should be disabled or banned.

If I remember correctly, long ago, if you wanted to play on a PDG server, you had to own a LEGAL copy of the game.
If you didn’t have one (or simply didn’t want to), you could play only on cracked servers; of course, that was some sort of circumvention. But PDG servers always required a LEGAL copy of the game.

It’s incredible the work you did. It’s very similar to the original version (wow).
It’s a shame that the BO1 camos don’t look the same.
Would it be possible to adapt or create something similar for the rest of the weapons (non-WAW weapons)?
I would really like something like this for the weapons in Moon.

Cuz they are the best, 3 lines, nice cqb, etc.

Si, que el usuario con más ancho de banda cree la partida.
(el que tenga mas MB de subida)
O bien creando vos un server, para eso necesitas tener el juego verificado en tu cuenta.

Necesitas usar Radmin vpn. Si no lo usas, pasa lo que describiste en el post.

Repara el juego desde steam, y fíjate que los dlcs estén instalados correctamente desde steam.

Although the Steam version shows the same "warning," it doesn't affect anything, either in Zombies or Multiplayer.
The game launches without issues, and the maps load correctly.
It is recommended to use the Steam version, as any corrupted files can be easily repaired.

Espera a las rebajas, ya que ahí lo podes conseguir por 30 dolares (tal vez un poquito menos)
Y de paso comprate los dlcs para evitar problemas (no los necesitas para tener un server, pero si si queres jugar los mapas del dlc).

La alternativa a un servidor, si tener el juego comprado son las custom matchs.
Que las podes hacer con Radmin VPN, es una forma de podes jugar con amigos sino tenes un servidor.

Hola, podes comprar vos el juego, y verificarlo en tu cuenta de pluto.
O podes usar una cuenta de pluto prestada, en la que hayan verificado el juego.
Por lo que tengo entendido esas son las únicas 2 formas de obtener las keys para tener un server.
La copia del juego tiene que ser si o si de STEAM!.
Caso contrario podes googlear otro metodo que no sea pluto.

Steam got your solution

Even if it’s maybe not the most morally right thing to use pirated software, and yeah, it’s good to support game developers — you’re not forced to buy the game. Unless you’re planning to host a server for it or something.

That said, it’s pretty obvious no one’s making you buy a legit license. There are well-known ways to play this and other games without paying for a license.

But also, it should be clear that if you go that route, you’re not getting any support here.

Personally, I think it’s just more convenient to have games on Steam, even if some — like parts of the Call of Duty series — can’t be played because of stuff like RCE exploits.
