Install Plutonium for Call of Duty: black ops

Go to https://plutonium.pw/, make an account on this website as you will need this to install the .exe for plutonium.
When you have made an account, then head back to the main page there is a download button that will bring you to the download page.
Download plutonium.exe, you can save the launcher anywhere you want, somewhere convenient such as your desktop or the game folder.
Open the launcher, if smart screen comes up click More info, then Run anyway.
The launcher will now start the process of installing the client files.
Enter your forum credentials to login, the same account you just made.
Then we will need to setup the game, you can use Plutonium to play World at war, Black ops 1, Black ops 2 and Modern warfare 3.
Navigate to Black Ops, click on SETUP and then select your Black Ops game folder.
The folder you need to select is most likely called Call of Duty Black Ops in your steam install folder.
You can easily find it by going to the game in your library, and clicking on the gear on the left, then go to installed files, show file location.
Now Plutonium is fully installed.

Offline launcher

Go to https://github.com/JugAndDoubleTap/LanLauncher and download the latest version of the Lanlauncher
Extract the LanLauncher file onto your desktop, Personally I have a folder with both the Lanlauncher and plutonium launcher.
And launch the Lanlauncher it will bring up a menu that will ask you where you have your game installed.
This launcher will also work for Plutonium World at war, Black ops 1, Black ops 2 and Modern warfare 3. (Which I will make guide for as well on how to play offline with bots and have progression)
Just browse to the install folder of Call of Duty: Black ops and save, then fill in your Username that you want to use in game and make sure you select the option for multiplayer.
Now you can click ''Launch T5''
You can use this launcher to start up Black ops offline when you are disconnected from the internet.
Even if you are connected to the internet, it will skip Plutonium searching and installing of updates which will be important for the next part.

The full Bot experience

Open your %localappdata% folder and find Plutonium (if you don't know how to do this, go to your Windows search bar in the bottom left and search Windows as this: %localappdata%
Go to "storage > t5 > zone".
Next, go to this website and download the 1.1.1 version of the BO1 Bot Warfare https://www.moddb.com/mods/bot-warfare/downloads
Make sure to have a program that can unpack/extract .zip files (WinRAR, 7zip, etc.)

Extract the folder, now open the ''others'' folder and move the 2 .ff files to your Plutonium ''zone'' folder.
now go back and open the ''Move to root of Black Ops folder'' then the ''mods'' folder and then the ''mp_bots'' folder.
Move the ''mod.ff'' to the Plutonium ''zone'' folder.
Now in the T5 folder of plutonium, make a new folder named ''scripts'' and in that folder make a new folder named ''mp''.
Now in the ''mp_bots'' folder open "mp_bots.iwd" file, when your PC asks how you want to open it, select the same program you use to open .rar files, I use Winrar for this.
Once opened, you will see a folder called "maps", click through until you are at the path ''mp_bots.iwd > maps > mp" and click into the "gametypes" folder.
Copy the .gsc file inside to your clipboard and paste it the "mp" folder.
Then in ''mp_bots.iwd'' click back to where your path is "mp_bots.iwd > maps > mp".
Now click bots folder, copy the 3 files here and paste those in the "mp" folder.
Now the ''mp'' folder should have 4 files total.
You can now safely close the "mp_bots.iwd" and "blackopsbotwarfare111.zip" files.

You can now use the Lanlauncher to start-up the game.
Go to Combat Training and check your barracks/playercard to make sure that the Prestige option says "Available after completing level 50.", you can also see that you have way more game modes available to you.

Customize

If you want to customize the names of the bots "storage > t5'' and at a text file that is named ''bots'', here you can add names that are max 15 letters/numbers/spaces/symbols long. then every match the game will pick random names of this list for the bots in game.
