Beta 2

Zombies Declassified Beta 2

Fresh install, not a patch on Beta 1.

Highlights

• Installer. One download, ZombiesDeclassified-Updater.exe. It finds Plutonium and Black Ops II, fetches and verifies every file, and cleans up Beta 1.
• Proper usermaps. Every map is its own usermap with its own zone, sounds and scripts. The old shared mod is gone.
• Ray Gun Mark II in the box on every map.
• Bug fixes on all nine maps, listed below.

Installing

• Run the installer. It asks for the folders only if it cannot find them.
• Beta 1 installed by hand? Run it anyway. Beta 1's files are replaced or removed, with backups.
• Files at the pack's paths that are not from any Zombies Declassified release are listed by path; the installer asks before replacing them (answer Y). On the command line, update --force.
• Re-run later to fetch only what changed. Replaced files stay under backups; verify reports anything off.
• Do not copy the old zip's folders anywhere.
• Linux, or no exe: python3 zdinstall.py --pluto <storage/t6 folder> --bo2 <Black Ops II folder> does the same job from the same manifest.

Co-op

• Host and joiners must be on the same installer release. The game refuses mismatched files.
• Client-side fixes come from the installer, not the join download.
• Servers: docs/servers-beta2.md (launch line, cfg, refusal message).

Structure

• Nine usermaps, each with zone, sounds and scripts. A slim menu mod remains in mods.
• Solo Play lists the maps on the globe (it reroutes to Custom Games for now).
• Non-English game languages get the character lines, announcer and power-up callouts.

Gameplay

All maps

• AN-94 costs 1600 wherever sold.
• Weapon lists corrected per map.

Verruckt

• 25% brighter.
• Intro card: Wittenau Sanatorium, Berlin, Germany, September 1945.
• Thundergun removed.

Shi No Numa

• Perk machines play the short sting on purchase.
• Hellhounds audible at the original distances (also Der Riese).

Der Riese

• Claymores no longer hurt their owner.

Kino der Toten

• Nova crawler explosions no longer down you across the room. Standing in the blast at high rounds still hurts.
• Nova crawler death: gas, burst and blur come together two seconds later and hit whoever stood next to it. Headshot kills release no gas.
• Early nova crawlers wait for the curtains and for you to enter the foyer or dining room.

Five

• Teleporting or riding an elevator stops spawns in the section you left.
• Nova crawler improvements, including no gas on a headshot kill.
• Electric traps zap once per second. Juggernog survives a pass; no Juggernog still dies.
• The lobby no longer darkens after the power is on.

Ascension

• 25% brighter.
• Centrifuge: damage and rumble stop a second after it stops; it spins again later.
• A crawler outside the map for 30 seconds is re-queued so the round can end.
• Lander and Thundergun camo fixed.

Shangri-La

• Monkeys and napalm zombies behave.
• Crawler re-queue as on Ascension.
• Slide speed pinned to the original's; the pool drop no longer downs you.
• Grenade wall buy sells Semtex; you spawn with frags.
• Spikemores fire when a zombie walks into them.

Moon

• Area 51 perks on from the start.
• Hacked wall buys give the reduced ammo price.
• Nova crawlers give points on every kill.
• R870 wall reads R870 MCS.
• Gravity should behave the same at high frame rates.

Weapons

• MP40: Black Ops II model, textures and animations on every map that carries it.
• STG-44 (Verruckt, Shi No Numa, Der Riese): Black Ops II model, textures and animations; bolt seated, magazine moves, reload foley plays.
• FAL OSW: reload audible; the EPC WN keeps its magazine while held.
• M27 (Verruckt, Shi No Numa): winnable from the box with its full sound set, Pack-a-Punched too.
• Monkey bombs (Shi No Numa, Der Riese, Five, Shangri-La): pull-pin and throw animate.
• Wunderwaffe reload and raise: fresh animation compile.

Mystery box

• Ray Gun Mark II on every map, with sounds, shown in the spin.
• The spin shows only what the box can give: no Death Machine (Five, Moon), no dual Five-Sevens (Kino), no Galvaknuckles or Pack-a-Punched Ray Gun (Verruckt).

Menus and audio

• Scoreboard shows each map's own logo.
• Map select: descriptions for Five, Ascension, Shangri-La and Moon; new map art for Five, Shangri-La and Moon.
• Mob of the Dead death song mixup removed.
• Five window glass break restored (report it if still silent).
• Footsteps at normal levels on all nine maps.
• Box laugh is Samantha's.
• Voice line remaps.
• Pack sounds no longer bleed onto the retail zombies maps.

Known issues

• Solo Play uses the Custom Games route rather than the game's own solo flow.
• MP40 reload foley silent on Moon and Shangri-La.
• Some weapons still lack reload and handling sounds their original banks never carried.
• Der Riese windows are opaque.
• Moon: zone crossings after the power is on can still hurt.

Reporting

Bug reports in the usual Discord threads, with a console log and screenshots. For installer problems, attach %LOCALAPPDATA%\ZombiesDeclassifiedUpdater\support-report.txt; the installer writes it on every run, even an interrupted one.

Beta 2 data files

Data files for Zombies Declassified Beta 2. The installer on the Beta 2 release fetches these; there is nothing to download by hand here.

Beta 1

The first testing release, BETA 1, is here! Expect plenty of bugs and issues.

All nine DLC 5 maps are included and playable: Nacht, Verruckt, Shi No Numa, Der Riese, Kino, Five, Ascension, Shangri-La and Moon.

The maps don't show on the Solo Play menu yet, use the Custom Game menu instead. Multiplayer doesn't work through dedicated servers yet, but inviting friends should work just fine.

Installation Instructions:

You'll need the full Steam release of Black Ops II with all DLC, and Plutonium. Nothing gets overwritten, it's all added files.

1. Copy the contents of storage\t6\ into %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plutonium\storage\t6\ (merge folders; the zone*.ff files must exist BOTH at storage\t6\zone\ and inside storage\t6\mods\dlc5\zone\ - the copy above provides both.)

2. Copy the contents of steam\ into your Black Ops II install folder (...steamapps\common\Call of Duty Black Ops II) - that's the zone\all*.ipak and sound*.sabl/*.sabs files.

3. Launch Plutonium T6 Zombies, open MODS, and load "Zombies Declassified BETA 1".

Report anything broken in the issues here, or find me on the CodModding Discord: logo2k
