How To Use BO3 Mod Tools To Load Custom Scripts For T7x

Pre-requisites

  • Make sure you have mod tools installed. You can get them from Steam or copy this link to your browser's address bar steam://run/455130 (you must own the game to install the mods tools on Steam)
  • Download Cerberus - latest release https://github.com/Scobalula/Cerberus-Repo/releases
  • Extract Cerberus somewhere familiar, I put mine in C:\Cerberus.

Compiling GSC Via Mod Tools

  1. Open mod tools
  2. Press the black paper icon top left of the screen and select “mod”.
  3. Call it whatever, but I'd keep it organized to the respective modes. ie: zm_mod for zombies and mp_mod for mp.
  4. Right click on mp_mod and select “open mod folder”.
  5. Create a new folder and name it “scripts”.
  6. Inside scripts folder, put your uncompiled script there and name it mod.gsc
  7. Now's the time to edit your GSC if you wish before you compile it.
  8. Go back to the root of your mod folder and open zone_source folder.
  9. Open mp_mod.zone file with text editor
  10. At the bottom of the file, paste this onto the last line of the file scriptparsetree,scripts/mod.gsc
  11. Save it and head to the mod tools and checkbox the mp_mod under your name of the mod.
  12. On the left check “link” and then press “Build”
  13. If done correctly, it should compile everything in mp_mod.ff in a newly created zone folder of the root of your mod folder. Leave this window open.

Extracting Compiled GSC Using Cerberus

  1. Open the folder where you extracted Cerberus.
  2. Now head back to the zone folder of your mod, should see a mp_mod.ff file in there. Drag and drop the mp_mod.ff onto cerberus.cli.exe.
  3. Cerberus will now extract your compiled scripts to "ExtractedScripts" folder.

Loading your GSC script

  1. Navigate through the "ExtractedScripts" folder until you find your beloved mod.gscc from the Cerberus directory.
  2. Copy mod.gscc to <path_to_bo3_game_folder>\t7x\custom_scripts.
  3. Rename the mod.gscc to mod.gsc or to whatever name you want. So long as it has a .gsc extension.
  4. Done - now start the game and enjoy scripting. 👍 NOTE: YOU CAN SEAMLESSLY LOAD GSC WITHOUT RESTARTING THE GAME
