  1. For Black Ops. You should make the bots prone and prone dive while sprinting to bjectives.

  2. A new redacted offline T6 client was released: magnet link

    But it requires steam to start... darn!

    alencore: can you recommend a steam emulator to bypass this? :)

    1. yea moronic that they remove DRM just to add their own form of DRM. apparently the source code is available and supposedly it is easy enough to just edit one line and remove the DRM, then compile a new version.

    2. They have that Steam check for a reason. They wanted to stop the use of pirated clients in order to try to comply with the game company's rules. The client still has offline and LAN play.

    3. They aren't accomplishing much in the long run. They can try all they want, but they still went against the rules as far as ATVI is concerned. ATVI will crush it anyway and we will end up with a game that still has DRM. A lot of people were interested in Redacted because it meant (for awhile) DRM free. Whether you realize it or not there are a lot of people out there that own the game but want to be free from Steam checks. And no, it does not have true offline and LAN play when you have to be signed into Steam. Anyone that is familiar with how the Steam client works knows that Steam's offline mode is temporary and unreliable. This new version of Redacted complicates things a lot. I'm not interested in it. At least there is still the old version of Redacted to fall back on but we still don't have any true LAN support yet.

    6. So... macporterjoe, maybe you can edit out that one line of code and release your version here? :-)

    7. there's already a steam emulator of some sort on the last redacted crack. toitally works offline last time I check...all dlc works I even managed to do daily speed runs on ORigins hehe and everything works on origins I can play this map blind folded now LOL! Don't know about the other zombies maps but I'll complete the quest on those as well soon.

    8. You rank up and unlock things via matchmaking and all party games are playable with bots. game tends to crash a little though but it happens on a ratio of 1:10 most of the time at least for me.

  3. Do you guys know if there is a other way to download the BO2 from redacted, i cant download torrents where i live.

  6. guys, here's react iw4 offline/lan client
    http://www.mediafire.com/download/1dd44040yf8dm04/React_IW4_Client.rar

    what did i modified?
    - i brought back default style mw2
    - removed ''new'' weapons
    - removed react style colors, watermarks, titles, emblems...
    - fixed preview image on killhouse
    a lot other things, basicaly it looks like 4d1 now, removed bunch of useless stuff
    this client supports all maps that means dlc maps, classics 1, classics 2, nuketown
    it doesnt crash at all, its stable (atleast for me), it has theater mode...
    rse v27 works perfectly

    you can change your name by typing in console 'name (yourname)' and hit enter
    use unlockstats to unlock everything

    NOTE:
    Do not delete players folder, its a key for removed watermarks!
    There is iirc a bug when you change your resolution in settings and after applying, game will you know, restart, you will hear music,but you will have black screen, how to fix it? well just use ctrl-alt-delete, start task menager, when it brings you to desktop, just unminimize your game again and thats it

    you need to have new maps such as nuketown and classic #1 and #2 to play them
    without them, ofc you cant play xD
    you can get them over RepZ website repziw4.de > DLC section

    if you have any questions, ask me here/reply

    1. i forgot to add 1 more thing
      rse v27 works with all maps
      but there are no waypoints for bots for those maps atm
      maybe macporterjoe will make waypoints for 6 new maps
      Bloc,Bog,Wetwork,Killhouse,Crossfire,Nuketown

      Delete
    2. Bot warfare has waypoints for dlc and custom maps:
      http://www.moddb.com/mods/bot-warfare

      I belive the waypoints are compatible with rsebots
      1. copy the missing waypoints to bots/waypoints
      2. edit includes.gsc and add for each waypoint:

      if(getdvar("mapname")=="mp_trailerpark")
      thread bots\waypoints\Trailer_Park::Trailer_Park();

      &

      case "mp_trailerpark":

      Delete
    3. If editing "includes.gsc" is too intimidating, the Dropbox download here includes a copy of RSE v27 with waypoints for all maps: http://v-dayucla.tumblr.com/post/126532164080/getting-repz-rse-bots-to-work-offline . The RSE files are in the "mods" folder!

      Delete
    4. The link is down because I removed it from my mediafire account.
      I will post more updated client when macporterjoe makes a new post.
      Link will be posted under the thread.

      Thanks

  7. Wow! Does this also work with ported SP maps?

    1. If you are asking for React IW4, then yes!

      Delete
    2. Brilliant! When I tried launching React IW4, I got, "The program can't start because MSVCP120.dll is missing from your computer." Does this mean we need to install the redistributables for Visual Studio 2013?

      Delete
    3. thats not a client side error, your computer is missing the .dll, try installing visual c++ from 2005-2013, dont worry it just 5mb each or less

    1. And i hope macporter will make it work with the skidrow release of bo2...

      I believe it would work with redacted if we took all sub 100mb files from the vanilla steam version and copied them over, any thoughts?

      Delete
    2. it works with every copy of the game and as far as i know it supports Origins but i´m not sure if the DLC 4 is supported.

      Delete

  10. This looks great but I'm having a problem. I installed RSE on top of alterIWnet and it starts up fine but when I go to Private Match it gets stuck on "Fetching Playlists". I tried adding the mp_playlists.ff file as per suggestions in other forums but with no luck.
    Any suggestions much appreciated!

    ReplyDelete

    1. OK, I got it working for LAN play. In case anyone else has the "Fetching Playlists" problem, here's what I did:
      1. Get the alterIWnet version of the game.
      2. Get the Repz client updater and run LauncherV3.exe from within the game folder, which updates lots of files (took a few hours on my connection).
      3. Copy the RSE files on top of that.

      Works great on LAN with no need to log into the Repz servers. There may have been a faster way to do it but this ended up being quite straightforward.

  11. Any news for Combat Training Patch?

  12. macporterjoe: is there an easy way to add the kar98k from zm and mosin-nagant from sp to bo1 mp? As the models are already in the game it should be possible? thanks!

    I mean just look at that camo, it would be a waste not to have it!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Figured it out, run bgT5Launcher.exe, press start...
    But then run BGamerT5MP.exe from the command line, like:

    BGamerT5MP.exe +set fs_game mods/modname

    ReplyDelete
  14. Good news eveyone! I actually found a bolt action rifle mod bo1!

    It's called xabolts, and can be downloaded here on itsmods.com:

    "This is a bolt rifle only mod for Black Ops which includes guns from Black Ops and World at War. It was made for competition but has the ability to run in match or pulic mode. Removes all weapons and gives the player a choice of 3 bolt rifles, the Kar98k, the Mosin-Nagant, and the Arisaka."

    I also recommend the isnipe mod (only snipers) and randomizer mod (random weapon each spawn).

    All three mods work with bots!

    How to use mods?

    Run bgT5Launcher.exe, press start, but don't click "multiplayer":
    Instead open the command line and do:
    BGamerT5MP.exe +set fs_game mods/modname

    This is really something to include in your next CT release...

  16. Has anyone messed around with the OpenNet plugin for Redacted? I've been reading that it allows you to emulate servers so you can play Advanced Warfare and Ghosts offline and LAN. I'll leave a link to the GtiHub page if anyone is curious. I'm guessing that you need the most recent redacted client to use it but it looks like they removed the link with "no ETA" on the next release. I'm still using the old nightly build from last year so I don't think that would support it. OpenNet may even work as a standalone program for all I know so hopefully someone could shed some light on this. Download link on this page https://github.com/Convery/OpenNetPlugin.

    1. Only one way to find out if that would work or what it can do is simply compile it and test it out...as far as I know it's still a WIP...I'm not sure they would really share the source code for their LAN and offline stuff but who knows may be they will. The offline release truely is offline except is riddled with some annoying crashes every now and then and the stats easily get's corrupted.

    2. Awesome upload, question though, does this version connect to a server and allow you to play with other people Online? Because I went and tried the Online matchmaking but could not find anyone on various game modes.

      Also, can this version be utilized for offline LAN ?

      Delete
    3. wow some bros they go far away yea and nope you can not connect online or lan both are disabled for now....this is an offline alpha release to test the game after the big patch...see redacted site for more info

      Delete
    4. alright i understand, thanks for the info

    5. thanks. do you have links for dlc maps and or camos?

  19. The main\iw_22.iwd file is incorrect.you might have used the update package while having an old version. Click ok to directed to the alterWnet download page

  20. I saw someone commenting about controller support in the video. It's fine though as it allows some people to lay back. But why play FPS games with controller???? You have no chance of beating average KBM people/normal onwards bots with, for example, a 360 controller, in an average match, never mind facing Ninjas in Pyjamas. I prefer an instant 180 over a 1.1 second 90 degree turn.
