Plutonium

Resxt I just wanted you to tell me if I can install it or if i have to learn scripting and all this stuff just to make an already existing script work, if i literally have to make the whole mod myself then i'll just install this instead https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/22019/zm-zombie-health-counter-bo1

If i can't just drag and drop it to work it's okay, just tell me it can't work this way and i'll use another one instead
Even though 5and5's version is better, it's okay this other one will do the job too !

And yes it was already my understanding that it's the anticheat that prevents reshade use, but i'm just wondering if there's a technical reason why LAN mode (which specifically says in all caps "ANTICHEAT DISABLED") still prevents me from using it, and are there plans for this to change in the future or not at all?

Resxt btw, any plans to add back reshade to bo1 and BO2 zombies ? AT LEAST in LAN mode, if REALLY y'all are scared someone might wanna use a wallhack against zombies lmfao
I mean, you guys are literally like "you can open the console and give yourself God Mode, Noclip, Infinite Ammo and anything imaginable, it's okay. But modifying contrast, colorimetry and adding SSR ? Hell nah these powerful cheats are too much man !"

Resxt and how would one do that?

They made this a while ago https://github.com/5and5/BO1-HUD and I loved using it on BO1 steam but now that i'm on pluto idk how to install it for plutonium and if that's even possible?

Hey, jus twanted to say thanks, this is a very cool thing you did ! Also very cool of you to keep updating it and refining it with feedback, really means a lot to us

Hadi77KSA Holy Shit it FINALLY worked.. Bruh you really gotta be a fucking IT engineer to make this game work it's insane.. There's simply NO WAY I would have found the BO1 FF Explorer by myself and realized i could use it to extract these files into a new clientscriptss folder i have to create in the appdata pluto files..

So basically the game was missing _zombiemode_dissolve.csc and _zombiemode_weap_tesla.csc

So thanks a lot, i haven't played yet but at least I can get to the main menu now, it was such a hassle that I preferred abandoning and keep playing on steam. This morning I decided to give it a try and thanks to you it worked (not thanks to the staff or devs who despite being extremely used to working with BO1 code and files visibly couldn't figure it out, well i mean, it's not like they even tried anyway lol)

So if someone ever has this issue in the future it's pretty simple once u know what to do :

• Install https://www.itsmods.com/forum/Thread-Release-Black-Ops-FF-Explorer.html

• Go to C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\t5 and create a folder named "clientscripts"

• Open BOFF Explorer, click "open files", go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Black Ops\zone\Common (or anywhere you installed the game if not via steam) and select common_zombie.ff

• Once loaded, click on the "clientscripts" branch and now you can right click on _zombiemode_dissolve.csc, choose "extract file" and extract it in C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\t5\clientscripts (which is the folder you just created earlier)

• Start the game, if it works then it's good, but if like me you still have the same error message but with a different file (for me it said that _zombiemode_weap_tesla.csc was missing too, I repeated step 4 but extracted this one instead and now the game worked.

I was visibly the only person on this entire planet to have this issue, I guess other people had it but also aren't tech savvy (like me) and just gave up instantly seeing that there isn't a single solution for it online anywhere.

Thank you again Hadi77KSA for your very precious help there's just no way i would have figured half
this shit out by myself, and despite not being an expert, i'm pretty comfortable with computers and basic gaming troubleshooting, so I can't even imagine for regular people with less experience how basically impossible it is to fix

Any admin or staff that could help us out ? It might sound stupid for some but not having playtime is enough of a deal breaker for me to simply stop using plutonium altogether + the fact you can't use ReShade + no leaderboards + broken bank rly doesn't help with the case. It seems that since a moment now even though we trick steam into running the plutonium exe instead of the original exe Steam still detects the game as Plutonium and as soon as I exit steam the playtime will revert back to its original state.

Damn how tf do I install this ?? GSC Tool Kit website has no download or place where I can do anything basically. Went to check the "How to" page on Plutonium which explains virtually everything except how to to run these things. Ended up finding about GSC Studio but got really tired having to look through 10 shady websites just to find an obscure download link. Way too complicated for such basic ass features that only works on half the maps, well fuck it

I applaud your intentions but in practice only engineers know how to use this thing

So yesterday I added like 100K to the bank, thus filling it to the brim I couldn't add any more money to it. So guess what was my surprise when this morning it was missing like 40k in it. So yet again I fill it up entirely until I can't add anymore. And just now I go on buried and my bank still isn't full. So the bank system doesn't work on plutonium ? Every time I fill it up, whenever I quit the game or die and come back it will have lost half of its stock.

Is this normal ? Any way to fix this?

definitely !

Hey all, I play at 1440p and it's eye burning how low resolution the game's crosshair is. I don't want a custom made crosshair with bright ugly colors or anything, but if anyone knows where I could find a higher resolution download of that default crosshair, that would be greatly appreciated, thanks !

Hell, if you know how to change it manually, tell me and i'll just upscale it myself

RedxSkull nobody would give a shit about a lesser clone with a paywall. Plutonium already has an abysmal active playerbase (despite being the absolute best BO1/BO2 experience on the market), as do the official versions on steam, so if someone just stole their code and made a clone.. Well okay? It's not like they'll even find anyone to play it and even if they did, as others said already it takes too much time and effort to make it run and to upgrade it so it wouldn't go anywhere anyway

mxve These are some good points it makes things clearer, thanks for your response !

gijoebo Anticheats again at the root of all problems. I only play zombie so for me the only thing I see are limitations because of it (like the entire Steam Deck platform being banned because of it and ReShade being banned even in LAN mode), but a cool thing would be to see the stats. I love seeing those kind of things it's interesting, it'd be great to have a page somewhere where we can see how many plutonium users got banned by it, how many where in MP, how many where in ZB etc

Resxt xDD btw I saw y'all don't provide the game's torrent anymore, what happened ? Did Activision sent you a cease and desist letter ?

Mod menus are cheats basically, idk if you can get banned for it while playing on private servers. But obviously you won't be able to play publicly with it and yeah this clearly isn't the place to ask for mod menu.
The good ol' days of having fun with friends on the game with mod menus, spawning an ocean of max ammos and giving you a laser and making bullets explode on impact are over. Now everybody is super serious and shit and they think that you having a menu that gives you stuff that can mostly be done using the console is worth a ban. Bc you know, this 12 years old casual and non competitive game can't have that kind of fun. Go play WaW instead i guess

Hadi77KSA Thanks a lot ! Finding that missing file is the first thing I tried to do when I first got the error but I couldn't find it anywhere online, glad to see there's an archive of all game files. I'll give this a try and keep you updated ^-^

Hadi77KSA Thank you for your answer, I did everything yousaid, uninstalled all modifications to the game (ReShade and HUD mod) + all instances of common_zombie.ff and common_zombie_patch.ff have been removed and then I verified integrity of game files (said it had to reacquire 4 files) and it still did not work.
The game on steam works perfectly fine bu plutonium version gives me this error. Again WaW and BO2 works perfectly fine on plutonium.

I still have the exact same issue as before.
I told you it has nothing to do with mods or whatever, when I had this issue the first thing I obviously did before coming here to post was to remove all modifications before trying. And I have the same error message whatever I have mods or not.

Here's what my t5 folder looks like, Resxt already told me to delete that exact folder.

And here is my bo1 main directory, "Mods" folder is empty obviously.

lol you really play with your game looking like that ? xDD

Thanks for responding Resxt

I tried deleting the folder you told me. The game as usual boots up, show me the first 2 cutscenes and then give me the error message and i'm stuck with it if I click exit it pops up again and there's nothing I can do.

_ This happens as soon as i start the game, right after the intro cutscenes, the game error and crashes before i can ever see the menu.

_ Game in in english

_ Yes I have 5and5's hud that displays zombie counter and game's time, but I tried a fresh install with no mods whatsoever and plutonium still had this issue.

Resxt why? what is the thing that made y'all specifically say "let's not make this open source we don't want people to see the inner workings of our software" ?
