This mod is my take on BO4 Gauntlet gamemode in Black Ops II. It consists of 30 rounds where players have to face 30 different challenges. The goal is to complete/survive all challenges as fast as possible.
This mod is created for Plutonium. Make sure you're running the most recent Plutonium version, otherwise the mod may not work. To install the mod, go to the Plutonium directory, to do that, press windows key + r on your keyboard, and type in
%localappdata%\Plutonium
Then follow the following path, if any folder is missing along the way, create it
storage\t6\raw\scripts\zm
And paste the GSC file from most recent release inside of this folder. You should not have anything other than gauntlet.gsc and ranked.gsc in there.
This mod is (and is probably going to remain for a while) in beta, which means occasionally you may encounter some bugs. In that case, please report them either in GitHub issues section or on B2 Discord.
In the current state, only Origins is supported.
The challenge is shown to the players at the beginning of each round by sending the description in the game chat. Make sure the game chat is enabled. In case of missing it, you may send the question mark ? in the game chat, in which case it's going to be repeated. If the host has been on a specific round before, players can put a round number after the question mark, to see what challenge is going to be on that round, like so ? 2
At some point this mod will get it's own leaderboards, for now, i'll put best results here (from version beta 0.2 onwards), as long as they follow the rules
- Standard round speedrun rules apply unless stated otherwise.
- Use of any patch other than Gauntlet or any plugin is NOT ALLOWED
- Any modification of Gauntlet patch is NOT ALLOWED, the patch has to have valid checksum, so do not cover the hash prints (left top part of the screen) on the footage
- Using any sv_cheats protected command is NOT ALLOWED
- Using external software to modify conditions of the game is NOT ALLOWED
- Games require full gameplay (in coop, at the very least a game host perspective is required). Alternatively, a demo file will be honored.
- In case of gamebreaking bugs that have not yet been discovered, the game may be deemed invalid if competing with the result once the bug is fixed is impossible.
- Games with 5 players or more in the lobby won't be honored.
If you want to enjoy the experience of discovering the gauntlet, you should not be using this, but if you want to compete for time, this document explains each of the challenge rounds and most of the additional mechanics.
People who helped developing this mod, either by contributing code or testing stuff.
I used some of the old code from Reimagined project for zone names
And of course, the Plutonium team for creating such a good client for modding stuff and helping triage some of the engine related errors i was encountering.
