About this mod Author’s original text

TheArchive

A massive mod for the game GTFO, that adds a ton of Quality of Life and cosmetic features to the game without overstepping the games original design.

Not only compatible with the latest release on steam but also with many of the older GTFO builds, tested on all of the latest patches for each (old) rundown.

Additionally this mod is trying to preserve older versions by keeping them playable even once the servers are gone forever by handling all playfab requests locally and saving things like progression/level completions, boosters and vanity items onto your storage device of choice for old versions.

What this does

Improve the game via Quality of Life and cosmetic additions without disrupting the experience of other players.

All mechanics are still kept vanilla and in spirit of the games original design.

What this doesn't do

This does not give you access to the game or any of the old versions, you have to have bought the game on steam!

This does not give any player an unfair advantage or trivialize the game, you have to bring your own skill.

Status

This project is in a Beta state at the moment, overall it's pretty stable but expect some bugs and unfinished features.

If you encounter any bugs while playing with mods installed make sure to remove your mods first and reproduce the issue without any installed before asking the games devs for support.

Features

In Game Mod Settings

An in-game mod settings menu for easy feature customization.

Most Features are toggleable mid game and some even have extra options to mess with!

Discord Rich presence

Fully customizable Discord Rich Presence system to show others what you're up to.

(currently only configurable through the config file)

Settings Redirect

Game settings get saved to a different location for every Rundown so you only have to change them once*.

(*for each major version once, a version agnostic settings menu is on the TODO list)

Having to redo your settings whenever you switch to another Rundown is now a thing of the past.

Re-Added Old Hammers - [R6 - RL]

All 4 of the old, pre rundown 6 melee weapons, are back:

Maul, Gavel, Mallet and Sledge can be enabled in the mod settings menu and will be added to the melee weapons menu on the loadout screen.

Local Rundown Progression

This allows you to save your progress (including boosters and vanity items) onto your computers hard drive instead of depending on the developers servers.

The implementation should be as close to the original game whenever a specific (rundown) version was live, to keep the experience genuine even after servers are down forever.

List of all Features

Loud Volume Override

Lower or mute the game during the intro sequence and while dropping down with the elevator.

Also allows you to adjust what happens with audio whenever you tab outside of the game:

  • Continue playing
  • Lower Volume
  • Mute

Player Lobby Management

Open up players Steam profile or, if you're the host, kick them out of your lobby.

Carry Item Marker

Big pickups (like CELLs or FOG_TURBINEs) get their own color as well as the item name above it.

Also shows a marker on whoever is carrying a big pickup.

Glass Liquid System Override

Change the resolution of the system that renders the blood splatters and other liquids on your visor or disable it entirely.

Disabling the system entirely prevents/"fixes" the so called "Void Bug" from happening, where sometimes a blob of darkness, the big black blob consumes your entire screen, making you unable to see anything for a few seconds up to minutes at a time.

Worst Quality: (VeryBad)

Best Quality: (Extraordinary)

Adds a player colored marker on placed down sen

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
