Gamemodes in ZAMNHLMP are a featured inherited from AG under a system originally written by Martin Webbrant in Aura. Gamemodes use a unique CFG file within a folder in the ZAMNHLMP files. Each CFG file contains commands to be executed by the server which make up the settings of that gamemode.

By using this system, developers and casual tinkers can create gamemodes alike without heaving to modify the actual C++ code of the game. In order to use special rules and mechanics that can't be defined by console commands, some gamemodes have their own gametype, which are defined within the code of the game and can't be changed by players.

TIP: Gamemodes ending with a two are Season 5 versions, which lack the Opposing Force content.
