Loading Mods into Plutonium#

This page will cover how loading scripts and mods work for all our games.
You can find scripts and mods in the modding releases sections on our forums:

Note that you don't need to restart the game to (re)load your .gsc scripts.
You can simply end the current level/game you're in and start a new one.
You can also run map_restart in the console which will restart the current level/game you're in.
To go faster you can even run the command below once so that the map_restart command will be ran whenever you press P on your keyboard, while in a game focused on the game (console closed, chat closed etc).
Change P to any other unused key you want. bind P "map_restart"

T6#

Getting started with GSC on T6#

Note that if you only want your script to load in multiplayer it should be placed in the mp folder that's in this scripts folder. On the other hand, if it should only be loaded in zombies then place it in the zm that's in this scripts folder.
If you want it to load in both simply put it inside the scripts folder.

1. Navigate to the T6 Plutonium scripts folder by pressing Win+R and pasting %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t6\scripts into it, and hitting Ok.

2. Put any amount of GSC files in here, I will be using the following code as an example.

Warning

If you are writing your own GSC, you must have an init() or main() function somewhere.
This function is called the 'entry point', it's a function the game engine is familiar with and will call.

init() // entry point
{
    level thread onplayerconnect();
}

onplayerconnect()
{
    for(;;)
    {
        level waittill("connected", player);
        player thread onplayerspawned();
    }
}

onplayerspawned()
{
    self endon("disconnect");
    for(;;)
    {
        self waittill("spawned_player");
        self iprintlnbold("^2GSC from the scripts folder");
    }
}

4. Verify your GSC looks like mine, and is in the correct location.

5. Open BO2, start a new Private Match or Dedicated Server, your GSC script should load.

Loading existing scripts on T6#

1. Download the script of your choice, scripts can be found on the Modding Releases section on our forums.

2. Installation instructions for the mod are usually included in the release's post.
If you simply get gsc script(s) it most likely goes into %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t6\scripts if it's a generic script or in scripts\mp for mp only or in scripts\zm for zm only.

3. Start the game, the script will be loaded automatically.

Note that you can load both source code/uncompiled scripts and compiled scripts, the instructions are the same.

IW5#

Getting started with GSC on IW5#

1. Navigate to the IW5 Plutonium Folder by pressing Win+R and pasting %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\iw5 into it, and hitting Ok.

2. If you don't have a folder called scripts here, then create it.

3. Put any amount of GSC files in here, I will be using the following code as an example.

Warning

init() // entry point
{
    level thread onplayerconnect();
}

onplayerconnect()
{
    for(;;)
    {
        level waittill("connected", player);
        player thread onplayerspawned();
    }
}

onplayerspawned()
{
    self endon("disconnect");
    for(;;)
    {
        self waittill("spawned_player");
        self iprintlnbold("^2GSC from %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\iw5\scripts\example.gsc");
    }
}

4. Verify your GSC looks like mine, and is in the correct location.

5. Open MW3, and start a new Private Match or Dedicated Server, your GSC script should load.

Loading existing scripts on IW5#

1. Download the script of your choice, scripts can be found on the Modding Releases section on our forums.

2. Installation instructions for the mod are usually included in the release's post.
If you simply get a single gsc script it most likely goes into %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\iw5\scripts.

3. Start the game, the script will be loaded automatically.

Loading mods on IW5#

1. Navigate to the IW5 Plutonium Folder by pressing Win+R and pasting %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\iw5 into it, and hitting Ok.

2. If you don't have a folder called mods here, then create it.

3. Move your mod inside the mods folder

4. Once in-game open the console and type /fs_game "mods/my_mod" where my_mod is the name of your mod (how the folder is named)

5. Start a game and play with your mod

T4#

Loading mods / custom zombies maps#

If you are installing a mod that comes as a .exe file then you can simply run it and and follow the instructions to install it.
The mod will then be installed in %localappdata%\Activision\CoDWaW\mods.

If you are installing a mod that comes as a folder, you can follow the instructions below.

1. Navigate to the T4 Plutonium Folder by pressing Win+R and pasting %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t4 into it, and hitting Ok.

2. If you don't have a folder called mods here, then create it.

3. Place any mods in that folder.

Note: Mods for multiplayer must have their folder name start with mp_.

Loading custom maps (MP)#

1. Navigate to the T4 Plutonium Folder by pressing Win+R and pasting %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t4 into it, and hitting Ok.

2. Create a folder called mods

3. Place any custom maps in that folder.

Once the map is installed, you must load a mod first. If you do not have a mod to go along with your custom map, you can load a dummy mod by opening the console and typing /fs_game mods/mp_custommaps; vid_restart followed by /map mp_yourmapname and it should load right up.

T5#
