So on another forum people are trying to make a hack for COD4 for the ps3. I was woundering if anyone here would know if this guys idea would work and if it could, how you would do it. This isnt the easyest thing to do.

 

Alright, new PS3 CVAR commands confirmed working online. 

I am not sure if anyone else has done this yet, or how you guys can do this without a dev console, but someone needs to work on this, because it DOES work online. I Will tell you exactly how to do this.

So far I think you can only get it to work on the new maps.
At some point, you might be able to do it for ALL maps, by adding the files to your PS3 HD.

You might want to download or buy the computer version of this game, just to play around with what I am saying. It works the same on ANY console. You can test it on the PC first.

Anyways. Here we go.

EVERY map file in the game, has a setting file with it. This file is just like the MP file in your save. It sets the parameters for what you have and can do in the map. It overrides your default save settings. They do this, so that some maps can be like they are on the moon, with less gravity, and just different things like that. However, these files have NO header check with the server for some dumb reason, but this allows you to edit the file with no problems.

You can just add all of your OLD CVAR "Cheats" to each map file individually, and the "Cheats" will work on that map.

I think if you follow the folder structure for the game, and make new folders with the map names that are on the main game disc, but you include a new settings file in these new folders on the PS3 HD, this file will override the file on the disc. They made it like this on purpose for future updates, incase they needed to adjust things.

So you should be able to add CVARS on EVERY map.

On top of that, you can change the settings to match the map, so you can jump higher, shorter, whatever you need to do for that map, you can customize it for that map.

I am not sure how a normal PS3 would be able to transfer the map information back and forth, but people have been talking about PS3 Proxy and the @Home method. So maybe you can use this method to do it, as long as you already own the maps.

I really do think you had to legitimately download the maps and once you do that you can use the proxy method to add the CVAR files.

Let me know if you guys get it done, and on what PS3 version you used, that way I can write it down and keep the correct data for each console.



Have Fun, Good luck, and PLEASE do NOT ruin this game. I still want to be able to play legit games. If you go into a game and people ask you nicely to please play legit or leave, then PLEASE honor what they say, and think about how you would want to be treated.

I would really appreciate it if you guys could do this, and show the gaming community that the game "hackers" are not always immature assholes.

Lastly, please give me any feedback about what helps you or what was hard, or anything I can use to help in future projects on this matter.

Thanks.

Good luck with that.

 

Also, code tags with scroll bars make everything hard as hell to read.

impossible, only modding is possible it has been known to work on halo2 xbox1 ftw

how is it imposible this actually makes since although I don't think they were direct ports of each other so you may have to tweak the method a bit. I also don't know what happens console wise with altering the game whether you get banned or what exactly. Good luck though, I'll try it for the PC version.
