I play with offline bots using the Bot Warfare v2.0.1 mod by ineedbots (https://github.com/ineedbots/piw5_bot_warfare). I want to launch MW3 multiplayer iw5mp using Plutonium with the mods subdirectory already enabled or set to my desired mod type without having to hit the '~' key to bring up the console window and typing set fs_game mods/bots
every time I start the game. I tried to achieve this by saving the following command seta fs_game "mods/bots"
in the file players2/plutonium.cfg
located inside the root directory of the game. But the setting does not stick and is removed every time the game is started and I have to set it manually inside the game console window again. When the game is closed the setting does not stick either in the file and is removed. Is there a way to make this setting stick in the config file? Surprisingly, other settings such as seta cg_fov "85"
and seta input_viewSensitivity "2.8"
stick and are not overwritten or removed.
This happens only with COD MW3 and also COD MW2 where the config file is located inside the game root directory. However, with COD MW2 I can simply set the DVAR at launch time by creating a shortcut to the iw4x.exe and changing the target to "X:\Games\IW4x\iw4x.exe" +seta fs_game "mods/bots"
and the game launches with the mods/bots setting enabled. I am not sure how to do the same with COD MW3 because I have to open Plutonium first to launch the COD MW3 game and I don't know how I can supply launch parameters to Plutonium (still trying to figure it out).
I tried the same method of setting the fs_game
in the config file with TM4 (CoDWaW) and it works, that is, the setting sticks in the config file and the game launches with the mods/config_mp
subdirectory already enabled. However, the config file for CoDWaW is located at a different location - C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\$$$\config_mp.cfg
. There is no equivalent config file for COD MW3 under C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Activision\
.
I also see that for CoDWaW or T4 there is a players
folder located at C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\t4\players
which has a plutonium_mp.cfg
file and setting seta fs_game "mods/mp_bots"
in that file makes that setting stick. However, there is no equivalent players
folder or config_mp
file for COD MW3 or IW5 at C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\iw5
.
tl;dr
- How can I make the config setting
seta fs_game "mods/bots"
stick (and not get removed) in the COD MW3 config file?
- If the answer to the above question is no then is there a way to launch Plutonium and iw5mp.exe with the launch parameter already supplied such as
X:\Games\IW5x\iw5mp.exe" +seta fs_game "mods/bots"
