v1.4 Release

ZTweaks 1.4 for Black Ops II Zombies

ZTweaks 1.4 paces the initial co-op Compatibility report after round readiness. Instead of sending every active status row to a joining client at once, it waits five seconds and sends rows at short intervals. Live status changes remain available. BO2 gameplay settings and menu choices are unchanged.

DEFAULT remains inert. When a map owns a system or does not expose a safe path, ZTweaks leaves it alone and explains the result on the Compatibility page.

Download and install

Download ZTweaks T6 v1.4 by Xep.zip from GitHub Releases. Extract it and run installer/windows/install.bat. Linux users can run bash installer/linux/install.sh --root /path/to/Plutonium. Select zm_ztweaks under Mods, then open ZTWEAKS SETTINGS in the Zombies lobby.

The complete mod is recommended. A limited loose-script route cannot provide the full Lua menu or every presentation feature. Use ZBundle to combine ZTweaks with the other Z mods.

Menus support English and twelve non-English languages. ChatGPT produced the initial translations; please report inaccurate wording with the game, language, setting, current text, and a suggested correction.

v1.3 Release

ZTweaks 1.3 for Black Ops II Zombies

This maintenance release rebuilds the BO2 edition alongside the BO3 co-op loading fix. BO2 gameplay settings, menus, character preferences, translations, and installer behavior are unchanged from the previous release.

DEFAULT remains inert, and unsupported or map-owned systems stay under the game's or map's control. The compatibility report explains when a selected option cannot apply.

v1.2 Release

ZTweaks 1.2 for Black Ops II Zombies

ZTweaks 1.2 adds optional gameplay controls while keeping DEFAULT inert and leaving unsupported or map-owned systems alone.

New

• Starting-weapon Pack-a-Punch selection, standard Mystery Box and Fire Sale prices, teddy-bear chance, and an option to avoid immediately repeated ordinary box offers.
• Standard trap prices, a round-end points bonus, and configurable points retained after an ordinary death and respawn.
• Zombie melee damage, health-regeneration delay, rising player damage by round, and damage from registered Pack-a-Punched weapons against standard zombies.
• Optional Max Ammo magazine reload, a One Weapon Slot challenge, and six independent exclusions from ordinary random power-up drops.
• A default-OFF Experimental Tweaks gate for Faster Barrier Rebuild on compatible stock maps. Custom maps and map-authored repair delays remain untouched.
• The shared-menu tab window now stays in place when changing a setting.

BO2 does not show BO3-only Alternate Ammo Type, Perk Price, or Wunderfizz Price controls. Other purchase loops and custom-map systems without a verified safe seam remain under the game's or map's control; an enabled setting does not override them by guesswork. The compatibility report explains when an option cannot apply.

All previous settings, character preferences, translations, and installer routes remain available. The menus support English and twelve non-English languages. ChatGPT produced the initial translations; please report inaccurate wording with the game, language, setting, current text, and a suggested correction.

v1.1 Release

ZTweaks 1.1 for Black Ops II Zombies

ZTweaks 1.1 expands the original gameplay-settings mod with complete menu localization, safer distribution, and stronger compatibility guarantees.

New

• English and twelve non-English menu and notice catalogs, with English fallback and owner-aware translation in standalone ZTweaks and ZBundle.
• A limited portable T6 script edition with Windows and Linux installers. The full mod remains recommended because loose scripts cannot provide the Lua menu, lobby preference sender, or every fastfile-owned presentation feature.
• Reversible installer ownership: repeat installs preserve the original backup, read-only discovery does not create state, verification reports exact installed versions, and uninstall restores pre-existing files.
• Shared menu and action contracts preserve native navigation, focus, press-only actions, host locks, changed-setting rows, and translation ownership when ZTweaks is composed into ZBundle.
• Compatibility-first gameplay adapters and a source audit covering every stock BO2 Zombies route. Unknown custom-map systems remain map-owned when a safe adapter is unavailable.

All existing match, player, loadout, zombie, world, bank, power-up, challenge, restart, rotation, and named character-preference settings remain available. DEFAULT continues to preserve map behavior.

Translations were made by AI and may contain mistakes. ChatGPT produced the initial translations; please report inaccurate wording with the game, language, menu or setting, current wording, and a suggested correction.

v1.0 Release

ZTweaks v1.0 — Black Ops II

First public release of the mod-only Zombies settings mod.

• Menu refreshes preserve selection and scrolling. Disabled rows keep their inactive
  grey style and show their effective values; button actions recheck all locks.
• Persistent lobby and pause settings with host/client authority, personal controls,
  focusable disabled/forced rows and confirmed bulk actions.
• Match, player, loadout, ordinary zombie, world, bank, power-up and challenge controls.
• Auto Restart after normal results and independent rotation among installed maps.
• Named Victis, Mob and Origins preferences; host-priority co-op assignment, random
  non-host ties and preservation of unclaimed stock identities.
• Capability-based compatibility reporting and an explicit custom-map character adapter.

Download

Use ZTweaks T6 v1.0 by Xep.zip and the adjacent SHA256SUMS. Extract the whole
archive, run installer/windows/install.bat, and select zm_ztweaks in Plutonium's
Mods menu. The Linux installer is included. Do not install the GSC as a loose script.

The archive includes README.md, SETTINGS.md, installers and checksums. Match-owned
settings are host-controlled; character preferences belong to each player. Unknown
custom character casts stay map-owned unless their author provides the adapter.
