ZPause T5 v1.5
Chat commands, a settings menu while paused, settings that stay set — and two fixes that
matter: anybody can unpause again, and Black Ops no longer stops at boot with ZPause
installed.

Fixed — read these first
Black Ops no longer stops at boot. v1.4 called two of the game's zombies functions in
a way Black Ops has to resolve while it boots, before any zombies script is loaded, and a
build carrying them stopped the game there. They're looked up once a match is running now.
Anybody can unpause, not only whoever paused. The crouch half of a combo reads the
stance you're in, and freezing a player freezes their stance — so whoever paused stayed
crouched and everybody else, frozen standing, could never make it. While paused, resume
with use + aim (or !unpause). The pause banner says so.
use_ads and use_attack do what they say. Both are the default down combos, and
neither name was ever tested for, so both fell through to crouch + melee — the one combo a
downed player can't make.
New — chat commands
!pause, !p, !unpause, !resume, and yes / no while a vote is open — the same words
as Black Ops II. This port shipped without them because nothing in the game's own scripts
listens for chat; the game raises it anyway. zp_allow_short_words widens them to the bare
words, off by default.
New — a settings menu while paused
The host holds fire + melee: aim and fire move through the list, grenade changes a
setting, melee closes it, and what the setting does is written under the list. zp_menu 0
turns it off.
New — settings stick
The menu saves to scriptdata\zpause.cfg as it closes, and the script reads it back as the
next match loads. The installer's settings editor writes the same file and opens on it, so
the menu and the installer always agree.
Also
zp_freeze_players 0 lets players walk around a paused game with their weapons down.
Not recommended — doors, the box and perks still work.
none empties a setting from the console, so set zp_pause_sound none is silence.
Changing zp_godmode during a pause no longer leaves players invulnerable after it.
The installer's -To works when it already remembers a folder.
Install
Unchanged. Run installer\windows\install.bat from the extracted folder, or copy the
Plutonium folder into %localappdata% yourself. Your settings are carried over. No game
restart needed — end the current match and start a new one. Only the host needs the file.
