Common issues

E: The procedure entry point AddDllDirectory could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll
F: Running an outdated Windows install is a bad idea, running an outdated Windows version that is so badly cracked you can’t even update it is even worse. Install all Windows updates.

E: The code execution cannot proceed because binkw32.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
F: Verify your game files, binkw32.dll is a file that ships with the game.

E: The code execution cannot proceed because D3DCompiler_47.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
F: D3DCompiler_47.dll is part of Microsoft’s DirectX.

E: Unfortunately, Plutonium Launcher ran into an unhandled exception and needs to be closed.
F: Plutonium ceased all development and nearly all online functionality. Update to version r353 to be able to play online again.

E: PlutoT6 crashes when a fifth player connects on Origins
F: Origins doesn’t support more than 4 players and when a 5th player joins it crashes with an out of bound exception in the gsc.

E: UI ERROR 5XXXX (eg 58339)
F: Your stats file is corrupted, either use resetStats or delete your dw folder inside t6r/player. ALL PROGRESS WILL BE LOST!

E: EXE_CONFIGSTRINGMISMATCH
F: You are either missing some DLC files or you suck at pirating, either way download some clean files.

E: Check board loading screens
F: You are missing DLC files, download them or try another map

That has been me, you made some very, very sketchy kills over and over again.
Fastest way to solve that would be uploading the demo files from Invasion and Rust.

We actually had a Transit only server (ZM PvE #1), problem is that many players either don’t like it or don’t know how to play it. Either way it was not successfully at all.
However if more people request it we could turn off PlutoT6 TDM#2 in favor for an additional PlutoT6 ZM server.

Your age sure as hell isn’t an issue for us and your English seems fine too. So I don’t really see any issue at the moment. We have a sticky post in the Application section that you might have already read which contains a few simple questions.

The IW4x team is currently working on restoring cut titles from the base game,
while the cut images made it into the finished game their text didn’t. That is why they are now asking you to send in your suggestions. If you want to participate click on both links and fill out the surveys.

IW4x Title Survey 1
IW4x Title Survey 2

If you just want to look at the cut titles I added them as a spoiler below.

Hi,
thanks again for your application. We are going to give you a chance.
Please verify that this is your Account. To answer your question from Discord: You don’t have to re-apply as an admin to gain admin privileges on another server if you are already an admin. In fact IW4m is going to grant you rights on T6 as soon as it detects you as it detects you as an admin of IW4x.

IW4x released version 0.6 of their Client, the update mainly contains bug fixes and a few new features but also includes a few security patches. The new features of this update are:

• Add dvar to control the server query rate (net_serverQueryLimit & net_serverFrames) which is useful for those of you who don’t have strong routers.
• Implement /serverlist api endpoint on dedicated servers.
• Implement unbanclient command.

While only the first one is interesting to average Joe the second one might mean that there will be an online server list for IW4x soon-ish since now everyone can easily get a list of all servers.

The most important bug fix of this update is that the friend list finally works again. Also noteworthy is that the lag spikes on low end PCs, that got introduced with version 0.5.1, got fixed.

As always the full change log (.onion) can be found on their website.

We hope you all had pleasant holidays and have a good start into 2019!

We now automatically pick the Steam Group member of the week at the start of each week! All you have to do to have a chance is to be in our Steam Group and to play on our servers that use Steam, that’s it!
Every Monday our server takes the 5 players with the most play time (to make it fair for our folks on the Gmod servers) and sets the player of the week to the first one that is in our Steam Group. In case you are not already a member of our Steam Group you can find a link below and on the top.

AWOG Steam Group.

We updated our game servers to the latest version of Metamod and Sourcemod, this plus a few config changes greatly improves the stability and performance of our server. It turned out that our L4D2 server crashed due to Valve’s server ranking, after disabling it server crashes dropped from multiple per day to none.

Speaking of L4D2, it is now possible to load custom Campaigns without the need to disconnect from the server first, therefore we added a few custom campaigns to our rotation.All of them can be downloaded through the Workshop collection linked below. Campaigns are not the only new content on our L4D2 server, it now also has custom elevator music and map decals. But since L4D2 is the big steaming pile of bugs we all love it comes with a catch:
While downloading those custom assets over http you have a black screen that will look like your game crashed. It is possible to check the progress in the console, we will keep those files to a minimum, promise! At the moment of writing this those files are around 3MB and are delivered over multiple blazing fast servers.

Steam Workshop collection.

We would like to wish everyone happy holidays no matter what or with whom you celebrate.
As we are too celebrating with our families it might be a bit harder than usual to get hold of an admin, we however try our best to keep our servers not only up and running but also moderated.

Requirements:
A PC to host the server.
An Internet connection.
T6 on said server. (You don’t need the video & sound folders, the .ipak files nor the SP level files, this can save you a LOT of disk space.)
Notepad++

1. Downloading and installing Plutonium:

• Download PlutoniumT6 here.
• Extract it into your T6 folder.
  • You can delete ./t6r/data/ui to save another 75MB.
  • If you can enable transparent compression on the ./t6r/ folder as it will contain your logs and can save up to 1GB for each game server you host.

2. Basic configuration and the first start

• Download the dedicated server cfg (MP/ZM) and save it to ./t6r/data/
• Open the cfg in Notepad++.
• Edit the file to your likings.
• Download the bat files from GitHub.
  • Optionally open them with Notepad++ and change the 3 variables on the top.
• Double click the bat file.
• Wait for the server to finish loading.

3. (Optional) Advanced configuration

Every instruction in this section needs additional config files please grab them from here.

3.1 Custom settings (MP only)

• Open the CFG of the game mode you want to edit (eg tdm.cfg) in the ./t6r/data/gamesettings folder.
• Uncomment and edit the values of the settings you want to change.
• Save the file.
• Put exec <game type here>.cfg in front of the first map token in the map rotation.
  For example sv_maprotation "exec tdm.cfg map mp_la map mp_dockside map mp_carrier"

3.2 Enabling the hard core mode (MP only)

• Either copy or open the game mode specific .cfg file for the game mode you wish to play with hard core settings.
• Open tdm.cfg and copy the hard core settings of it to the file from the first step.
• Save the file.
• Put exec <cfg from step 1>.cfg in front of the first map token in the map rotation.
  For example sv_maprotation "exec hctdm.cfg map mp_la map mp_dockside map mp_carrier"

3.3 Mixed game modes with correct / custom settings (MP only)

• Open the server cfg file with Notepad++
• Put a exec <game type here>.cfg (eg. exec dom.cfg) in front of a map token.
  For example sv_maprotation "exec dom.cfg map mp_la map mp_dockside exec sas.cfg map mp_carrier"
  • You can have one exec token in front of multiple map tokens to apply your settings for each following map.
  • You can have a different exec token in front of every single map token to have different settings for each map.

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! You should only install one of those 2 tools.

4.1 Adding IW4m-Admin to your server

• 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 but don’t run it yet.
  • I recommend the source code install with the latest stable release.
    • For win32 you have to edit the executable with 7z! We won’t provide ANY support for this.
  • When you use the online configurator select MW2.
• Download this zip and extract it into the parsers folder of B3.
• Change the parser in your config to pluto_t6.
• 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, the files to host MP and ZM servers from the same folder with all maps and modes require roughly 1.7GB instead of 22GB and 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 main, players, redist, sound and video folders. Inside the zone folder you can delete all sp, rts and .ipak files. If you don't want to host MP/ZM you can delete the MP/ZM files too.

After roughly 3 months Plutonium finally started to fulfill one of their last promises.
Today a new update for their T6 client got released that adds back the server browser and global bans, next to a few quality of life features.
Those quality of life features are:

• Names now are saved even in offline mode.
• Stats now are saved even in offline mode.
• RektCI3 (their own AntiCheat) now automatically bans cheaters.
• Enhanced LAN support. (Means it automatically starts in offline mode if it can’t reach it’s master server.)
• Small tweaks under the hood.

The update can be downloaded from their site either as full client (mirror) or as an update (mirror) for your PlutoT6 and does no longer require a forum login.
Don’t expect new features or updates for PlutoT6 unless something goes terribly wrong since the CoD “community” has proven once again it doesn’t care about quality but only about free games and you have all reason to hate them for that since we are now missing out on a lot of cool features, some of them never got announced others like custom weapons already got teased, and 2 new clients.

UPDATE:

Seems like there is an issue with that version that causes the anticheat to ban players even though they don’t cheat.

UPDATE2:

The issue with the anticheat has been resolved temporarily.

Rejected:
Poor English and the first thing he did on the Discord was to post a link to another Discord server and spamming tags.
