How To Run zPAM On Your Call of Duty 2 Server

zPAM is the match mod the Call of Duty 2 competitive scene plays on. It adds ready-up, halftime, timeouts, strict match rules and fixed versions of the popular maps. Your server downloads and installs it for you.

Turning On zPAM

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Modding, set Mod to zPAM, then set PAM Mode to the ruleset you want.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

comp_mr12Competitive, first to 13 rounds.

Players who don't have zPAM download it automatically when they join. To go back to the normal game, set Mod to Stock and click Save & Restart.

Note

With CoD2x as your Game Version, the server runs the latest zPAM and updates it on restart while Auto Update is on. With 1.3 it runs zPAM 3.36, the last version for 1.3. You can fine-tune the public settings in main/zpam_server.cfg through Files.
