UrNotThat6uy Yes, by setting "enable_healthbar" to 0 in the console, it will disable it

I decided to make a little mode in Zombies.

After each round, you will be given a random weapon. If the previous weapon was upgraded, then the next weapon will also be upgraded.

If Sharpshooter mode is enabled, instead of each round, you will get a random weapon after a certain duration, which is configurable.

Wallbuys and Mysteryboxes are unavailable.

By Default, there is no perk limit

There are two different versions.
The Mod Version which is Recommended
or the Script version which is more like a Lite version.

Download it here via Github Releases

With the Steam Decks release, this allows more users on Linux platforms with the use of SteamOS which is an Arch Linux distro. With that, there are currently some restrictions to playing games on the device such as games that contain an Anti Cheat that doesnt really focus on Linux side of things. Plutonium is no exception.

For awhile however, Plutonium was able to be run no problem on the original (LCD) models until some dingus cheated and triggered the anti cheat, thus banning every Steam Deck with this model. This is due to each device having the same HWID. The OLED models fix this issue it seemed. But that doesnt mean you cant play the client! Well sorta, you cant play online but you CAN play on LAN mode. So heres a lil guide on how to do so.

Requirements:

• A Steam Deck, this was made with Original model in mind but OLED might work too.
• The game you want on Steam.
• Some basic knowledge on how to navigate the file explorer. Google IS free if you are confused on how to do something.

Benefits

• Be able to play Plutonium on a handheld
• The ability to play offline!
• Take advantage of Plutoniums updates

First, launch in Desktop mode

Method 1 - Lutris Script (Recommended)

I personally highly recommend this one as the folder structure is simple to navigate to incase you were to add scripts or mods or do anything in the Plutonium folder.

• Download Lutris, you can get this in many ways, on Steam Deck, you can through the Discover app.
• Upon opening Lutris, click on Add Game, then Search for Game
• Search for Call of Duty Black Ops II
  • Do this regardless of what game you intend to play.
  • Alternatively you can directly download it here.
• Install the Plutonium script
• Wait for the install to complete, this may take awhile.
• Once the script installs, you should be able to see Black Ops II on the Lutris home page.

Updating launcher directly

• Open the folder where Plutonium is installed. /home/deck/Games/call-of-duty-black-ops-ii/drive_c/Plutonium/ And look for Plutonium.exe
• Add it as a non steam, either right click it and select Add to Steam, or add it via Steam client.
• Right click the newly added Plutonium.exe on Steam, and in the Launch Options, put in -update-only
• Run it once so it updates everything needed.

Adding a Game and a Mode

• Find the plutonium-bootstrapper.exe file
  • You can do this by going into /home/deck/Games/call-of-duty-black-ops-ii/drive_c/users/deck/AppData/Local/Plutonium/bin/ and find the plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe and add it to Steam similar to what you did to Plutonum.exe before.
• In the Start in box, make sure the path is /home/deck/Games/call-of-duty-black-ops-ii/drive_c/users/deck/AppData/Local/Plutonium
• In the launch options, youll need to enter some params. A template would be something like <gamemode> <gamepath> +name <name> -lan
  • <gamemode>
    • t6zm - Bo2 Zombies
    • t6mp - Bo2 Multiplayer
    • t5sp - Bo1 Zombies
    • t5mp - Bo1 Multiplayer
    • t4sp - WaW Zombies
    • t4mp - WaW Multiplayer
    • iw5mp - MW3 Multiplayer
  • <gamepath>
    • Where your selected game is installed, if you dont know, on Steam, right click the game of choice, click Browse Local Files, and the path will pop up, you can use Copy Path if needed.
    • Make sure you also include commas between the path.
  • <name>
    • Put a name, any name really.
  • Example: t6zm "/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Call of Duty Black Ops II/" +name Deck -lan
    • This will launch Black Ops 2 Zombies where Black Ops 2 is installed which here is the Steam Decks internal storage
• Test it, launch the game. If it directly launches the game with no issue, then congrats!

Method 2 - Steam Proton

Ive tried this method in the past but as time goes by I realize that this doesnt work out personally.

• Download Plutonium.exe
• Add Plutonium.exe as a non Steam game and run it with Proton. I used 8.0
• Once the launcher gets installed and everything, the launcher will open up like normal
  If youre impatient (understandable) you CAN stop here but you wont be able to access the game offline and will have to keep selecting LAN mode every time.

If you wanna continue:

• Close the launcher.
• In the file explorer (or Dolphin thats called on SteamOS), find where Plutonium is installed at. My knowledge for this is limited and im unsure if there is an easier way to open it so youll have to search around. Find the Plutonium folder, should have files like bin in it. Remember this and from now on I will refer it as <root path in this guide.
• Find where plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe is located. Should be in <root path>/bin/plutonium-bootsrapper-win32.exe
• Add it as non steam.
• In the Start in box, make sure the path is <root path>
• In the launch options, youll need to enter some params. A template would be something like <gamemode> <gamepath> +name <name> -lan
  • <gamemode>
    • t6zm - Bo2 Zombies
    • t6mp - Bo2 Multiplayer
    • t5sp - Bo1 Zombies
    • t5mp - Bo1 Multiplayer
    • t4sp - WaW Zombies
    • t4mp - WaW Multiplayer
    • iw5mp - MW3 Multiplayer
  • <gamepath>
    • Where your selected game is installed, if you dont know, on Steam, right click the game of choice, click Browse Local Files, and the path will pop up, you can use Copy Path if needed.
    • Make sure you also include commas between the path.
  • <name>
    • Put a name, any name really.
  • Example: t6zm "/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Call of Duty Black Ops II/" +name Deck -lan
    • This will launch Black Ops 2 Zombies where Black Ops 2 is installed which here is the Steam Decks internal storage
• Set Steam Compatibility to Proton 8.0 or any other Proton that works.

NOTE Im actually unsure if the <gamepath> in this method uses the SteamOS path or uses Wines path. I will add a section here if I find out how to find the Wine path but a simple google search wouldnt hurt.

Lastly, we need the updater

• Open the folder where Plutonium.exe is at and add as non steam. Or if you kept your shortcut of plutonium.exe earlier, use that.
• Right click Plutonium.exe on Steam, and in the Launch Options, put in -update-only

BONUS - Personalizing your shortcuts.

If you wanna add some, pizzaz to your shortcuts. Simply get the unique art from SteamDB! Im going to go over an easier way that will involve downloading Decky Loader to the Deck.

• Install Decky Loader via decky.xyz, follow the instructions there, im gonna assume you completed it from now on.
• In the Plugins Store, find SteamDB and download it.
• Once its loaded, press Back button on the shortcut to open the quick menu, you might have to reopen it for the option to appear.
• Select Change Artwork
• In Search for a game, look up the game and mode you want, something like Plutonium Black Ops II - Zombies or just Plutonium Launcher
• Pick all the artwork and stuff you want made by the community (they are really good).

Did I miss something? Or need help in a certain part? Feel free to contact me on Discord! via tech_wave or ping me on the Plutonium discord!

Vitrolic Wither Plutonium has a built in compiler so no need to anything to the script after you made changes and saved it. No zipping, no compiling. Just slap it in the scripts folder like you normally would and youll be good. If you get script errors ill be more than happy to help through Plutoniums discord.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 had a collab with Squid Game, and with that, a limited mode for Zombies called Dead Light Green Light was released. At the time, it had restrictions and stuff that felt underwhelming, so I decided to kinda remake it with some of my own changes.

In the mode, there is a cycle between Red Light and Green Light.
During Red Light, you have to stand still, if you are caught moving, you lose points and in this mod, you get a randomly chosen punishment that lasts until the next Red Light, you cannot gain points.
During Green Light, you can mode and points will be double.
At a random point, Red Light gets replaced with Dead Light, where you can move but zombies will infinitely spawn and super sprint.

Along with my own improvements, I didnt bother to add a round cap and ees are playable (im not even sure if theyre even possible but go wild lol)

There are two different versions of this mode. The Script version which is moreso the Lite version, and the Mod version where there are extra things such as better customizable options and custom voices. For the full experience, I recommend the Mod version.

The options include:

• Chosen Ruleset (On both versions): If you wanna use my improved rules, the original mods rules, just the punishments, or something close to Squid Game where youre downed instead.
• Chosen Voice (Mod only): Choose between Young-Hee's voice, the Statue from my TechnoOps Collection mod, or just the sounds from the Script version.
• Toggling Copyrighted Content (Mod Only): This one is a bit experimental but this toggles the copyrighted music. Definitely recommended to turn off if youre making content.
• Mod Subtitles (Mod Only): Similar to my TechnoOps Collection mod, this lets you choose if you want subtitles, just the audio, just the subtitles themselves, or neither. This ONLY subtitles stuff from the mod.

Vitrolic Wither SoiulS You change them via the console (pressing ~ to open)
You may need to type in "set" before the setting and value if youre setting it before starting a match.

For change of default, youll just need to modify the setting in the script itself (which is open source).

Overhauled the script a bit to require zombie kills in order to escape and made the hud elements a little better to actually add a proper challenge!

A small little script that simply modifies how the perks fall in the Nuketown Zombies map.

The options here include: (you can use the dvar "nuketown_perks_mode" to adjust:

• 0 Default: The normal way
• 1: All the perks will drop one after another at the start. Making them available off the bat.
• 2: A perk will fall down every time the bell chimes when the Population counter resets
• 3: Perks drop down after very round.

The script is simple enough if you wanna take a look at it and make your own requirements.

Download it here: https://github.com/techboy04/Nuketown-Perks-T6Zombies
Its recommended that it goes in the zm_nuked folder so it only loads in Nuketown and not give errors when playing other maps.

I decided to recreate a Cranked mode in Zombies.

I did make this mode a little rough on the edges but it should work pretty well.

NOTE: Mob of the Dead currently does not work! All youre gonna get is an infinite loop which doesnt load the map!
As of b0.5, this has been fixed.

The first kill will start the timer, every kill resets the timer, and every few rounds, the timer shrinks. Be the last alive to win! Once the timer runs out or you die, youre immediately eliminated! (No Quick Revive can save you now!)

All Mystery Boxes are available! (For now it uses Fire Sale but this will be polished in the near future)

By Default, there is no perk limit.

The mode also has custom powerups: (thanks to Ox_ for this part of the code)

• Teddy Bear: Pause the timer for a short period of time
• Bottomless Clip: You get unlimited ammo (by Ox_)

I decided to recreate a Gun Game mode in Zombies.

Get a certain amount of kills (by default, 8 ) to upgrade to the next weapon. If you die, you get demoted. There is no end until someone finished the ladder. This game can be played solo or with other players, I tried my best to make it work with 8 players but I haven't been able to test it myself.

Wallbuys and Mysteryboxes are unavailable.

By Default, there is no perk limit

The mode also has custom powerups: (thanks to Ox_ for this part of the code)

• Skull Powerup: Goes to the next tier
• Please Wait Flag: Pack A Punches current weapon
• Bottomless Clip: You get unlimited ammo (by Ox_)

AdamCraft307 Correct.

That mod menu is for mods with folders like zm_modname with a .ff inside of it.

Scripts load automatically.

wdym it doesnt register in the game? are you running scripts or mods? mods are structured zm_modname/mp_modname scripts are just .gsc files. Also double check where you put the scripts at, scripts/zm or scripts/mp

FaZe Flick thought it was just an issue on my end lol
Mustve been a rendering setting or something, thanks for letting me know.

If youre using SteamOS (and not Windows) and did it through just Steam it self as a non steam game:
Every game running proton has a Localappdata folder and other important stuff to essentially emulate Windows' file structures a bit.
You can find Plutoniums non steam by looking at the properties of the application on Steam and in the Target folder itll show its location of the bin folder, you can navigate from there to find the mods folder or create it yourself if it doesnt exist.

After sitting a bit thinking of what random thing I can make, I thought of adding some sort of Survival Realism where you spawn in with no gun and will have to find the pistol thats lying around or waste points for a gun.

Nothing too big.

Wanted to make it so you have the ballistic knife but some maps dont have it natively so I decided to just run with empty hands.

Alternate Xbox 360, Playstation 4, and 5 controller support guide

DS4Windows method not working for you? Or you hate it for what ever reason? (welcome to the club). Well welcome to this guide on another way of getting your Xbox 360 or PS4/PS5 controller working without some random exe! This can also work on Linux (tested on Steam Deck)!

Note, not sure if it works on Nintendo's controllers but the method should still be the same, if it is, lmk and I can edit to fit which controllers worked.

This guide is also assuming you are only opening the launcher but if you were to launch each game individually (like launching in LAN mode on Steam Deck), then every time Plutonium.exe is mentioned, then its the Plutonium-bootstrapper.exe)

Requirements:

• Steam
• Know where your Plutonium.exe is located
• Your Xbox 360 (with wireless receiver or wired adapter), DualShock (PS4) or DualSense (PS5) controller

1. Connecting the controller

Make sure your controller is connected, whether its wirelessly or wired. Both methods should work.
Make sure your computer recognizes it as a controller.

2. Check if Steam recognizes it

This is important, make sure Steam recognizes your controller. One way to do it is go in the Settings on your Steam client.

Scroll down to Controller and youll see whats connected.

If youre unsure if its your controller, you can click on Begin Test and test your buttons.

Optionally you can enable PS Controller Support if youre using a Playstation Controller but it will work regardless (I assume this option enables stuff like the trackpad and gyro)

If you're using a Playstation 5 controller and it doesnt detect it, but its recognized as a controller everywhere else, then try updating the controller firmware via Playstation Accessories App
(Thanks to Resxt for this)

3. Add Plutonium.exe as Non Steam

In order for Steam to integrate your Controller into the games, you'll need to add Plutonium.exe as a Non Steam game.

To do this you'll first need to find Add a Game on the bottom left of the Steam Client and click on Add Non Steam Game

After, this dialogue will open up. This will list any potential software's in your system that you can add as a Non Steam game. Here you'll look for Plutonium.exe.

If you can't find it, click on Browse.

File Explorer will open and you must find where your Plutonium.exe is located.
Note yours may be different.
Once you do, click on it once and click Open.

Plutonium will now show up on the list.

Then click the big blue Add Selected Programs.

Plutonium should now appear in your Steam library

3.5 Enabling Steam Input for the launcher

Ensure that Steam Input is enabled for Plutonium.
You'll need to go into the games Properties

In the Controller tab, check on Steam Input and ensure its Enabled.

4. Open the game!

The game is added! Press play and it should open the launcher!
Now note, your controller will not work unless its a game with gamepad support. (Black Ops 2 should have full gamepad support while World at War and Black Ops 1 has very limited)
The controller will not work on the launcher.

To check if your controller is hooked in, press the PS button and it should open the Controller Configuration and should show your controller.

In order for your controller to work you must run Plutonium through steam every time!

Optional: Add a Desktop shortcut

This may involve you to move your Plutonium.exe shortcut to avoid accidentally opening the wrong one.

IF you move your exe, you'll need to relocate where the launcher is.
Right click Plutonium in your library, click on Properties.

In the Target area, click on Browse and find where the new Plutonium.exe is located.

On the Plutonium name on your library, right click, and click on add Desktop Shortcut. This should just add the shortcut on your desktop.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've avoided DS4Windows!
Steam has improved controller compatibility with non Xbox controllers immensely over the years and luckily today its pretty much fully functional with very minimal issues.

Also in-game, the icons will show as Xbox, you'll have to find the PS icons for each game: (I will update as I find more)

Black Ops 1: N/A
