Unbanned, the ballistic knife was detected as normal weapon with 0 recoil. Also you did mix up the game as it should be PlutoT6 instead of IW4x.

Since PlutoT6 didn’t really add any commands you can use any dump on the internet.
As long as you don’t want to play on Steam or Console or have the spare time to implement support for the lobbysystem: NO, there is no way to join a lobby.

Plutonium released the source code of 2 tools that where used to created custom content for PlutoIW5 and MW2:R (a IW4x mod that you should keep an eye out for)

ZoneBuilder

The ZoneBuilder is a tool that is used to work with fastfiles. Its main features are compiling, dumping and verifying of fastfiles. It can be used to quickly port maps from one Modern Warfare title to another or to create custom content from weapons to full conversion mods.

IW5 GSC Assembler and Disassembler

This tool can convert the compiled GSC that comes with IW5 into human readable files and back. In the development of PlutoniumIW5 it was used to set-up the minimap on custom maps.

Both the ZoneBuilder and the GSC Dis-/Assembler can be found on GitHub.

IW4 GSC:

IW5 GSC (Disassembled)

Yesterday evening the team behind iw4x had an unusual surprise for its community: Their full source code for accessible to everyone. Whether you are a die hard c++ veteran that want to improve iw4x or you are an average Joe that just want to take a curious look at it, it is a pleasant surprise that opened up the door for community patches to iw4x.

The full source can be found on GitHub.

A new update for RektT5 got released, it mostly features small QOL changes and a few bug fixes. Most important change is that usernames with spaces are now working correctly. As usual the update will be automatically installed when starting the game.

• dlcs are now loaded from t5m’s dir too (if dlc files are extracted to main/ and zone/ in t5m’s folder)
• dedicated server -console argument
• sv_sayName support for servers
• cl_maxpackets max has been increased to 125
• server will now have the hostname in its window title
• r_enablePlayerShadows is set to 1 by default
• fix credentials.ini storing usernames with spaces wrongly

Then use your internal IP-Address.

As the title says we fixed the crashes caused by repeatedly changing the name while being connected. Most servers have already been restarted to apply it, the others will get it when they restart / crash.

Happy fragging!

@BadVibes we have a handy guide with all commands needed right there https://awog.at/p/146

Since there is not a list of official rules atm on the Plutonium Discord / website I though I am gonna share a list of unofficial rules. TLDR: Use your brain.

The Discord should be kept safe to browse at work or school.

Actually read #readme.

Make sure your names are at least 3 characters long and are easily tag-able.

Use the correct channels.

Don’t shit post or spam memes.

Do not write single sentences over multiple messages, take your time.

No religion, no politics. Your personal opinions do not need to be stated here.

Not everybody comes from the same background, try to be helpful instead of hurtful.

Respect everybody. Everything is nicer if people get along with each other. If your reply is negative for no reason, there is no need to post it. Be constructive.

Much like respect everybody, respect staff. Not everything we do is something you will agree with but this project is provided for free and we do NOT work for you, so you must accept that we might refuse to comply with demands if we don’t agree with them.

Using Pluto or Plutonium in your name is not allowed - it allows too much risk of impersonation.

Usernames that could be used to impersonate a staff member are not allowed - your username will be renamed and an email sent to you if we find any that are too close to our own. IE. Zefyr or Eldors.

Advertising is not permitted. This includes but is not limited to your YouTube channel, your Twitch, your 1337 sniper clan and your Uncle’s really funny Twitter account.

INTRODUCTION
This guide will teach you how to play with friends over the internet in a custom games match. Note this guide requires you to port forward.

GUIDE

1. The host of the game needs to port forward in order for others to connect (If you don’t know how to port forward please look up a guide on google for your particular router)
   The port that needs to be forwarded is: 4976 UDP (If you want to confirm this, enter the following command in the external game console get net_port)

2. Go to continue to main menu from the Plutonium menu

3. Go to custom games, pick your map and start the game (You must be in game for friends to connect, it will not work from the lobby!)
   Also if you experience the message “waiting for more players” you can use the following command to force start the match:
   xpartygo

4. Friends join by opening the console (MUST BE ON THE PLUTO MENU, IF YOU CLICK CONTINUE TO MAIN MENU THEN CONNECT YOU WILL CRASH!) and typing the following, replacing YourIP with your public ip (which you can get from here https://www.whatsmyip.org/)
   connect YourIP:4976

Hi,
could you provide your GUID? I looked up your name in the DB and the log files but didn’t find anything except some normal and boring game log entries. Maybe also try joining again as I did update IW4m-Admin a few moments ago.

Hi Doggog,

thanks for your application! Is this your Profile (8B31DFB0)? Also do you have Discord or TeamSpeak?

@Zombeeezees said in Why was I put on the disallowed list on AWOG servers?:

Since that I’m no longer experiencing this problem, I’ll drop this topic.

As you wish.

You are not banned.

Changelog:
23.06.2019: Started to add screenshots.

After some time spent on creating our own vote plug-in we are happy to announce that we have the first servers having a vote functionality based on IW4m-Admin.

Obviously abusing those votes can result in a ban.

The following new commands and aliases got added.:

• !votekick or !vk to vote kick a player
  • Requires a player and takes an optional reason.
• !votemap or !vm to vote for a map
  • Requires a map name.
• !voteskip or !vs to vote to skip a map
• !yes or !y to vote for a running vote.
• !no or !n to vote against a running vote.
• !veto or !v to use your veto right.
  • Requires at least Moderator permissions

Requirements:
A PC to host the server.
An Internet connection.
T5 on said server. (You only need MP and can delete all .iwd files but iw_00.iwd after the first step this can save you a LOT of disk space.)
Notepad++
A brain.

Preface

All relative paths are as seen from t5m.exe
Certain things require you to disable the playlist, this however also disables the automated maprotation.
Please don’t create any 24/7 servers as they are cancer and might get treated as second class servers later.

1. Downloading and installing RektT5:

1.1 Downloading and installing RektT5:

• Download the RektT5 Launcher from here.
• Put it into a subfolder of your T5 folder.
  • I will name it rektt5 in this tutorial.
• Run t5m.exe it will ask for your T5M install, point it to the right folder.
• Click cancle when it asks you to log into your getrekt account as we don’t need one to host a server and all configs needed for a server are set now.

1.2 Sliming down T5 and deleting unneeded files (Optional)

This is ONLY for people that only want to host a server from their T5 install and not to play with it.
The first step should be obvious: Don’t upload the ZM and SP files to your server, if you are unsure do uninstall the game and only install MP before you upload the files.
For running a server we only need iw_00.iwd inside the main folder. You can also get rid of the soundtrack (if included) and the players folder.

1.3 Enabling transparent compression

This step is useful if you choose to enable game logs as it will save up to a GB per server.

• Open the properties of your ./rektt5/data folder
• Click on Advanced...
• Check the Compress contents to save disk space box
• Press OK
• Press Apply
• Choose Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files
• Press OK

2. Basic configuration and the first start

• Download the dedicated server cfg and save it to ./rektt5/data/
• Open the cfg in Notepad++.
• Edit the file to your likings.
• Download the bat file from GitHub.
  • Optionally open them with Notepad++ and change the 5 variables on the top.
• Place the bat file where your t5m.exe is.
• Double click the bat file.
• Wait for the server to finish loading.
• If you followed it correctly your server should now be up and running.

3. (Optional) Advanced configuration

Please read the instructions first before changing your config.
It’s always a good idea to backup your config before you edit it.

3.1 Changing the game mode

• Open the server CFG.
• Change the playlist to a different one with the game mode(s) you would like to host.
• Save the file.
• Restart your server

3.2 Enabling hard core mode

• Open the server CFG.
• Change the playlist to a Hardcore playlist.
• Save the file.
• Restart your server

3.4 Custom settings

• Open the server CFG.
• Disable the playlist and setup your maprotation as the playlist forces its settings.
• Set-up your map rotation (sv_maprotation)
• Scroll to the settings of the game mode(s) you want to change and make your changes.
  • Make sure you did remove the //.
• Save the cfg and restart your server.

4. (Optional) Install a server management tool

Both tools need you to enable the game log and to set a rcon password in the server config, for your own safety use a long and safe (generated) password you will never have to remember this password! And make sure to enable the game log with g_log. You should only install one of those 2 tools.

4.1 Adding IW4m-Admin to your server (Recommended)

• Download IW4m-Admin from RaidMax’s website.
• Follow his guide on GitHub.

4.2 Adding B3 (Big Brother Bot) to your server

• Follow this tutorial to install B3.
  • I recommend the source code install with the latest stable release.
• Fire up the bot, and QUICKLY join the server to run !iamgod
  • A PW protection for the time between you add the bot and you run the command is recommended but not necessary!

5. (Optional) Hosting a second server from the same directory.

• Make a copy of the bat file and the cfg file and rename them.
• Edit the copy of the bat file to have a different port and to use your second cfg.
  (You must forward the second port as well if you are behind a DNAT!)
• Edit the .cfg file.
• Start the server through the new .bat file.

FAQ

Q: You said we can delete game files to save disk space, is it worth it?
A:In my opinion it is, it also HIGHLY speeds up loading times as unnecessary files are not loaded.

Q: So which files can we safely delete?
A:You can safely delete the players, redist and soundtrack folders and all .iwd files inside main but `iw_00.iwd`.

Q: Why can’t I find my server hosted at home while others can?
A:Your router probably doesn't support NAT-Loopback (aka. NAT-Reflection) and that's why it doesn't know how to forward the network traffic. In order to connect it use your internal IP or 127.0.0.1 if its hosted on the same machine. More information about what NAT-Loopback is and how it works can be found on Wikipedia.
