When trying to change a restricted dvar, the console should give you a reason for why it didn’t change. The dvar g_playerCollision is cheat-protected, which means that to change it, you would have to either enable sv_cheats before changing it or change it through a .gsc script.

Either you enabled it or you installed a custom script that did because some scripts related to records turn it on. Open the console and enter this command to disable it:

cg_flashScriptHashes 0

You would miss out on the features/fixes made on the updated versions and likely become unable to play with people on versions different than yours. For online, you would also stop being able to join dedicated servers that are on a more recent update than you and you might eventually stop being able to login to the launcher.

It’s mostly always recommended to update to the latest version.

Just a collection of stuff I posted or made, some of which I do not feel that they need separate posts.

Black Ops 2/T6

Multiplayer Scripts

• death_red_hitmarker.gsc: Shows a red hitmarker upon killing a player.
• weaponStats.gsc: Increases weapon and optic stats for unlocking camos and reticles. Has notes for console commands to set weapon xp and prestige.

Zombies

    • Bridge Brutus drops Insta-Kill only

  • zm_fov_despawn_fix.gsc: Fixes the zombie despawn behaviour that is affected by the server's/host's cg_fov value to be limited within the FoV value range of the vanilla Steam game where if cg_fov is less than 65.0, will make it behave like 65.0, and if it is more than 90.0, will make it behave like 90.0, otherwise will use the current cg_fov value.

Black Ops 1/T5 Zombies

• Replaced Nazi Symbols
• Solo and Any Player Easter Egg Mods
• Custom Scripts
  • box_rotation_fps_fix.csc: Fixes the box rotation to not be affected by player FPS. Requires playing either with a fs_game mod loaded or in LAN mode.
  • back_and_strafe_speed_patch.gsc
  • print_network_frame.gsc
  • sq_completion_check.gsc: Prints the Easter Egg completions of Call of the Dead and Shangri-La.
    For setting the completions without redoing the Easter Eggs, it is different between solo and co-op.
    For CotD solo, you would have to change a value in the dvar bg_collectibles to 1, specifically the 43rd value (7th from the end). I suggest you do that from %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t5\players\config.cfg
    The below command is for the co-op completions of CotD and Shangri-La.

    statSetByName ZOMBIE_COAST_EGG_COOP 1; statSetByName ZOMBIE_TEMPLE_SIDEQUEST 1
    

  • zm_random_char.gsc: Randomises player characters. On Moon, forces a random player to be Richtofen.

World at War/T4 Zombies

• zm_player_scorescolors.gsc: Makes the player score and gamertag colours follow the player's player.entity_num value (i.e. they follows the player characters). To be used with zm_random_char.gsc.
• zm_random_char.gsc: Randomises player characters.

You can simply use console commands. Check my comment from here: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/41646/how-to-have-more-people-in-zombies/2

There's this tool that addresses the problem by renaming plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe to BlackOps.exe but it launches Pluto BO1 SP in LAN mode https://gitlab.com/EvelynYuki/Pluto-Compatibility-Fix

Make sure to install them on the 2 game apps on Steam (Campaign/Zombies, Multiplayer) and that both of them are installed. Also, check that the folder you selected in the Plutonium launcher is actually the folder which Steam is currently using for the game by comparing the paths.

For checking the selected folder in the Plutonium launcher, follow this:

• Press Win+R, paste this into the window that opens: %localappdata%\Plutonium, press Ok, open config.json, then check the path set for "t5Path".

For opening the folder Steam uses for the mode: right-click the mode from your Steam library > Manage > Browse local files.

The game has 3 installs. You didn’t install the one for the mode you’re trying to play. Check my comment from here again: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/39666/error-during-initialization-invalid-patch-fastfiles-please-verify-your-game-files-with-steam/2

Juanlaverga1234 if you’re able to start the sharpshooter, then make sure to hit the required number of targets. Otherwise, you haven’t completed the previous step.

The email verification doesn’t affect your ability to play. Anyway, if you want to get the verification email sent again, simply go through the email change process. https://forum.plutonium.pw/me/edit/email

Then sounds like the ownership verification can’t be done on Linux. Steam Deck LCD models can’t play online on Plutonium due to sharing the same HWID which someone in the past cheated with. You can still play in LAN mode, but online isn’t an option at the moment unless you run Windows.

Either the game path needs to be where Steam has the game installed or the ownership verification through the launcher can’t be done on Linux (I doubt this one).
To open the path that Steam has the game installed into, check this: https://plutonium.pw/docs/game-files/
If nothing works, you have the option of doing the ownership verification through the website as described in this post: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/32250/an-update-on-game-ownership-verification

The anticheat log is showing this is your second ban, where the first one occurred in 2022.

ChosenUndead a perma ban is given on the 2nd time the anticheat is triggered. Alternative accounts only add a 7 day extension to the original ban period for each account you try to login with while banned.

Orbit Mossy said in Bo2 Camos Not Working:

i have them in the t6r/data

That’s the cause of the problem. Plutonium stopped reading files from there after a specific update. Follow the official guide for loading custom textures. https://plutonium.pw/docs/modding/loading-textures/

fluxation the main installation and complete scripts folder alternative installation will make the following scripts load automatically:

• tranzit_maxis_any_player_ee.gsc
• die_rise_any_player_ee.gsc
• buried_any_player_ee.gsc
• super_any_player_ee.gsc
• origins_any_player_ee.gsc

For any other script (patches/extras/Mob of the Dead), you'd have to follow additional steps, which those would be exactly or close to the individual files alternative installation instructions.

I believe this is caused by a recent update where the user ID number in LAN mode is determined based on the username, thus causing the problem you’re experiencing. You could use a command to start the game in LAN mode and specify different usernames there.

An extension to the suggestions provided in https://plutonium.pw/docs/update/

• Plutonium.Updater.Core.Models.UpdateException: Failed to update file bin/VibeCheck.exe ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Plutonium\bin\VibeCheck.exe' is denied.

Exclude/whitelist the Plutonium folder from antivirus scanning and remove anything related to it from the AV program's blacklist.

Something is interfering with your connection to the CDN. Malwarebytes antivirus' web protection tends to do that. Add the websites plutoniummod.com and plutonium.pw to the allow list of the antivirus (Malwarebytes), remove them from the blacklist, and allow them through any other thing that is blocking them.

• System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled.

• System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: An error occurred while sending the request. ---> System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond [IP]:443

• System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: An error occurred while sending the request. ---> System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it [IP]:443

Try these suggestions:

• Press Shift + right-click in the folder plutonium.exe is in, select "Open Powershell window here", then write and execute this:

  .\plutonium.exe -timeout 0
  

• Cloudflare DNS/Google DNS

• Cloudflare WARP/Proton VPN

If it doesn’t work after that, restart your PC, have the VPN connected, and relaunch plutonium.exe (the installer/updater) every time it fails.

Zamamasu this is one of numerous errors you could possibly face with the updater. See the list of fixes in here: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/43945/plutonium-updater-error-unable-to-connect-to-the-remote-server/3
