Plutonium

Let me know if you have any issues, happy to help... i'm on Plutonium's Discord, same name!

embracenewlife I would love to help if i could, but my point is that even if i did "pc check people who claim to be falsely banned" what would i do with that information?

1. there is NO way that i would be able to 100% be able to say, "Yep, you didn't cheat". even the video that was uploaded, there is no way for anyone to see what is going on in the back ground/what was loaded or injected before the record button was pressed.

2. BUT lets assume that i was in the room with you and was 100% certain that you hadn't cheated... how does that help? based on MY opinion, the staff isn't going to believe what i say any more than they believe you so i'm not sure how that would help.

"instead of just being like "hey, im sorry cant do anything about it"

There literally is NOTHING that a contributor can do about it... having access to early builds doesn't give us a key to the admin chat room where we can vouch for you or try to give our opinion on if we thought you actually cheated or not. Wish i could help more my friend, but at the end of the day, i'm just a regular user with some extra pieces of flare and purple name tag

Sorry man.

embracenewlife what kind of help would you want from the contributors? we are just normal users like you, we have no special mystical powers, no ability to check logs, etc... we just happened to donate to help the project we like which usually means you'll see us around more often and can TRY to provide information from what we have witnessed and learned from previous incidents... that is exactly what we did.

We can only point you in the direction of the anti-cheat documentation, and give advice based on previous people who have complained about the anti-cheat... which is usually all that is needed for folks to realize the mistake they have made.

yLTK go here: https://forum.plutonium.pw/me/edit and click the "Associate with steam" button on the right.

You'll need to make sure both your Steam "Profile" and your "Game Details" is set to public.

Ozuro_y4 you did not install the mod correctly, that is why it wasn't working. Check the guide if what i said was confusing. you are missing a folder...

stiffys i'm not telling you to do anything... just informing you of plutonium's rules. sorry it doesn't fit with your current financial situation. i'm not judging, just letting you know about the changes that happened over 2 years ago.

Sorry man!

no support for pirates! that's not allowed here anymore.

suggest you get game from steam, and erase your plutonium %localappdata% folder and then come back and we can help you!

Ozuro_y4 you installed in incorrectly... those files should be in a folder inside the mods folder.

this error means you have NOT selected the correct game folder. (or if you are 100% sure you did, then you have broken game files).
Default location is Program Files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/GAME FOLDER IS HERE

if still sure, right click on the game in steam and select properties, installed files, verify integrity of game files.

T3rm we can only help you if you own the game on steam. Pirated copies of the game are not supported. Once you get the game on steam, point the plutonium launcher to your steam game files and you should be good to go!

ascensions yeah, a number that high usually means you did it more than once... it's only 7 days for the first one...

i use an sql database for all external data / stats (player data/info, kills, stats, high rounds, time, server status, player count, server use, reset times, etc)
I used the fileIO method but the database got way too big and bogged down. It was also cumbersome to sort through and very slow. SQL is super fast and easy to sort and the best part is the work is done off server and then sent to whatever source asks for it (in game, the discord bot, webpages, etc)

It was a must for the number of entries my database quickly grew to.

Edit: it helps that i was very familiar with SQL but if you are not, i think it is a relatively easy thing to learn and popular enough that any simple google search can yield the results you need on the proper way to word queries.

FLASH11112 it looks like you never verified your email address so you won't be able to get it back. the only thing you can do is remember your password. Also, make sure you are typing it in with all caps (FLASH1111 and not Flash1111, etc)

Edit: suggest you verify your email for your FLASH11112 account (or whatever name you end up going with) to keep that one protected in case this happens again!

so are you going to stop playing call of duty on plutonium because you can't figure out those terms? because they aren't going away... or being changed... so i'm not sure what you are looking to get done. We understand they are confusing to you and you don't like them... but they aint going anywhere so...

tell me you don't read the website without telling me you don't read the website...

It also says the GateDiggers friendly title in big bold letters before you have to hit play... so it's not like you have to guess or decipher the background image.

gore_ yeah i didn't know what you meant by that trickshot last kill thing but since you offered it as something that you were doing when you got banned, i just wanted to clarify...

I'm not trying to say that you are necessarily lying, i'm just saying i've never known the staff to take a banned person's "word for it" and reversed a ban... they know how the anti-cheat works and i'm sure have logs that can tell them much more info than what us normals are privy to!

I absolutely disagree that this is "clearly an issue" because if there was a rampant issue of false positives, you would see A HELL of a lot more people complaining about it compared to the VERY few people (most of whom i bet are full of crap) saying they didn't do anything.

I am obviously not staff or an admin so if they want to dig more into this, they can... My answers just came from the last couple years of observations of people who did in fact cheat and just said they wouldn't do it again. Just passing along the info!

what do you mean by this: "also tried killing last in a trickshot server while playing by myself to change the map"

You had something / did something that triggered the anti-cheat:

https://plutonium.pw/docs/anticheat/

Only thing you can really do is wait out your ban and not do it again. (and read up on the anticheat doc... it is very clear that you need to be in LAN mode to disable the anti-cheat.)

Zack_Cereal there is nothing for plutonium to resolve... this is a connection issue between you and the plutonium update server... and while there are a handful of people that have this issue (and you see them posting / asking) the other 99% of us have no issues... so not sure what you want "resolved"

There are a handful of things you can do to try and fix your issue:

Reset router, change DNS, switch to ethernet/wifi/hotspot, use VPN for initial connection, etc... there is something about your internet setup/connection that the cloudflare servers don't like i guess.

then make your own personal server... then you'll be in control of who you ban and why

https://plutonium.pw/docs/server/t6/setting-up-a-server/

Server owners can ban people from their servers for whatever reason they want... they own the server. Sometimes it is a legit reason, sometimes it is not.
