Post: How to (in theory) mod Black Ops

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This is an IDEA. A THEORY. If it doesn't work, then oh well.

If anyone has any CoD PC Experience, they'd know about fs_game. Fs in fs_game, I believe, stands for Filesystem. On the PC, making a folder titled "mods" in your game directory, then making another folder in there with the name of your mod(such as mods/lolmod) then having an .IWD file(.zip) in that will cause the game to load the files in the IWD over the actual files, if you set fs_game to mods/lolmod by editing the startup parameters(+set fs_game mods/lolmods).

To mod Black Ops, you'd need a DEBUG SELF, then edit the Dvar Default or the Startup Parameters(if there are any) for fs_game and change it to something. Then backup Black Ops, FTP into the backup folder, create the folders, then use the Mod tools for PC to create a script mod. Upon booting the backup, the game should automatically find the mod you made, and Bypass all Encryption/Decryption. After this is completed, you can then use the mod tools to create more mods, such as custom gun skins, etc.

Technically the same is possible with MW2/WaW/CoD4(custom Nazi Zombies weapon models, anyone?)

Oh ok I see that but I guess I am stating a new idea. Kinda sorta. Also what do you mean by custom firmware lobbies? Like modifying the firware or the game itself?

So how would we go about getting to the main game? if we can only edit gsc then how could we get to the place where the mods directory would be?

Yeah i don't think you understand how the game works..
You can't edit game script to where the game data goes. To do that you need to know how to program for the PS3 ( cell ) and have the games source which IS NEVER going to happen. Unless somebody at Treyarch leaked all there code which isnt going to happen. Like i said it would be easier cracking the files then waiting for a leak which isn't going to happen.

Possibly Xbox aswell. Since we can get on PSN with a Jailbreak, it would be possible to 10th prestige people's accounts.


Lol @ Ruffin because this is for PS3. For PC you can just use the mod tools.

I've always had this idea on CoD4 to load the game through the savedata by changing the filesystem to it so i could load custom maps, never got around to trying it though Smile
