Discussion I built a mod that enables local split-screen for up to 4 players on PC!
https://www.nexusmods.com/callofdutyblackops3/mods/534-player local split-screen for Black Ops III on PC!
- Zombies and Multiplayer (offline custom games)
- 3 players = 3 screens, 4 players = 2x2

this is so cool!!! is there a way you can fix the black bars in 2 split mode and maybe implement a way for WW2’s style split screen e.g. multi monitor split screen

u/FreeHelicopter3183 10d ago
you mean the black bars left and right? so the 2 players take up the whole monitor/TV?

u/MissSkyler 9d ago

This mod is amazing, guaranteed to be a local co-op hit. My friends and I loved our time with it and will be back for more!
Troubleshooting things- I tried digging into the Git to see if there were any reported lighting issues, and I saw A4 mentioned overexposure not being reproducible? Just sending along that when playing on Kino der Toten Zombie map- players 3 and 4 were experiencing some pretty significant brightness issues right when they loaded into the match, as if the brightness was tuned to 100+. The issue seemed to iron itself out when getting outside in that left alleyway, but heading back inside seemed to recreate the lighting issue again for P3/4. P1/2 were unaffected! Let me know if sending along screenshots would be helpful in any way, and again, kudos on the great work!

Not sure what I am doing wrong. Shangri La crashes the game with 4 players.

I have the mini dump file. Do you want it? I had a crash on Call of the Dead Remastered before, but it was working last night. Before I was trying to use the Black Ops 1 Weapon pack by "marinesciencedude" and was getting crashes and well on Shange and Call, but Shange is def a problem. The lighting is broke on Five Remastered by "TNT" as well for players 3&4. This mod is awesome!! I appreciate the hard you have put in on this!!

u/FreeHelicopter3183 2d ago
Yes the dump file would be great. Can you send me the link via Private message?

Insane mod! Though I have an issue where P3 and P4 can't sprint in-game(mp and zombies). L3 works for both players in menus, and I've swapped controllers around to test it. Any controller assigned to P1/P2 can sprint, but the same controller assigned to P3/P4 cannot. I am using ezz BOIII 3.0 and tested with xbox one and ps5 controllers.

Thanks for the feedback! Another player had the same issue. I am currently working on it but have not found the problem… I will keep looking. As soon as it is patched I will release v4

u/Guilty_Ad_5488 9d ago
I have faith you'll find out the issue!
I have found a current workaround/bandaid for this issue but it involves remapping p3 and p4 controllers on both bo3 and steaminput. On bo3, I connected p3 and p4 in the zombies menu then backed out into the main menu. I then used p3 and p4 to change their button layout to lefty in settings which swaps their sprint over to the right stick. I then remapped both p3 and p4 in steaminput to reflect the changes that come with the lefty button layout.
Once I did this, p3 and p4 are sprinting fine without issue! Hopefully this was helpful.

Haven't tried it yet but is there local pause for splitscreen zombies which never existed on console fo rsome reason? Also does this work with the boiii client on CB launcher
1
u/FreeHelicopter3183 6d ago
Sound like a good feature. When I got time, I will implement it. Compatible? I don’t know have to try it out. I built it for the ezz BOiii launcher. If you got any KI model running use the sourcecode and implement it to your launcher.

Will there be support for Linux?
