  • Added a EE speedrun timer that activates when the first steps of the main quest Easter eggs are activated and stops when the last steps of the main quest Easter eggs are completed.

  • Added a fully functional Mule Kick back into zombie maps when not connected to the Call of Duty: Black Ops servers.

Ascension EE Changes:
  • The Casimir Mechanism Easter egg now works with any amount of players.

  • The buttons step now gives players one hundred seconds to press all four buttons when not in a four player game.

  • The lunar lander step is solo-able (the LUNA letters are at their original positions in coop) after the pressure plate step (in order: ride the lander near the Revive perk to grab the letter L, ride the lander near the Stamin-Up perk to grab the letter U, ride the lander near the Speed-Cola perk to grab the letter N and ride the lander near the PhD perk to grab the letter A).

  • The freeing Gersh step only requires the upgraded Zeus Cannon, upgraded Ray Gun and Gersh Device when playing solo.

Call of the Dead EE Changes:
  • The co-op version of the Ensemble Cast Easter egg now works in solo.

  • You no longer have to knife the frozen vodka bottle, you can shoot at the ice encased around it to dislodge it whilst standing below it to catch it in solo, when in co-op the ice encased around the vodka bottle still needs to be knifed.

Shangri-La EE Changes:
  • The Time Travel Will Tell Easter egg now works with any amount of players.

  • In solo mode the tile matching step now gives the player one hundred seconds to match each tile before they reset (standing on the tile activates the timer and symbol so that you can match tiles, crouching on the tile clears the symbol and stops the timer so that you can memorise which symbols are on what tiles).

  • Time in eclipse mode has been increased to twenty minutes during the tile matching step.

  • Player one always spawns as Richtofen.

Moon EE Changes:
  • The Richtofen's Grand Scheme Easter egg now works with any amount of players.

I'm glad you found the workaround. Future reference for others, the mod now adds a slight delay before giving the item required for Moon to prevent this problem.
Supersandwiche50 26 Aug @ 7:08am 
I added the seta bg_collectibles and tried again. The same issue occurred last night, but after restarting the level it appeared on my screen and was working and I was able to successfully complete the EE.

Thank you again for all the insight, I hope that my unique experience was helpful for adjusting the patch for all future players :)
Reuben  [author] 26 Aug @ 4:16am 
@Supersandwiche50, thanks for the bug report, I was able to reproduce the issue, the game checked to see if it should give you the item for moon before it checked to see if you completed all the sidequests (this was unique to moon and could be circumvented in the previous build by clicking on "restart level" in the pause menu), I've updated the mod to fix this (no need to restart the level) and I've tested it working for Plutonium, Game_Mod and the legacy_mod version.

since you've done the ee's already, please make sure seta bg_collectibles "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001010000" exists in your config.cfg located at Call of Duty Black Ops\players\mods\Main Quest EE Patches.
Supersandwiche50 25 Aug @ 7:20pm 
sorry to correct my last comment, I launched the game through steam and had used the gamemode to get the patch. I added the config 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001010000 and still no Golden Rod, i'll try to verify and reinstall the patch
Supersandwiche50 25 Aug @ 7:16pm 
I just did all the EE's on solo mode. I attempted to reload the game and no dice, thank you so much for the config You're awesome :likeaboss:
Reuben  [author] 25 Aug @ 3:53pm 
Just did some debug for you, the item for moon appeared correctly in developer mode, I recompiled the mod with the version I just tested and uploaded it if you wish to try that version. If the bug still occurs you can manually add the item for moon by setting the variable in config.cfg located at Call of Duty Black Ops/players; seta bg_collectibles "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001010000"
Reuben  [author] 25 Aug @ 3:32pm 
Also, you should have 'seta bg_collectibles "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001010000"' in your config.cfg located in Call of Duty Black Ops\players.
Reuben  [author] 25 Aug @ 3:26pm 
@Supersandwiche50, depending on how you load the maps the collectables won't immediately register. Relaunch the game and load up Moon again, it should be there.
Supersandwiche50 25 Aug @ 3:07pm 
Hello, I just completed the EE for Call of the Dead and Shagri-La and then I immediately jumped to moon to see if I had the Vril device (the golden rod) and I didn't see it. Do I have to complete the Ascension EE too or no? Maybe I missed something? I completed the EE for those two maps and received the achievements so I'm quite assured that I completed them. Any advice?
Reuben  [author] 23 Aug @ 9:20am 
RattyRattington, that's a limitation of batch scripts, I could make it search for your Black Ops folder but it won't be quick. Instead I have written an installer in Python which locates your install folder by checking libraryfolders.vdf but I need to polish it up first. :)
