More zombies?

[slluxx 1]

Is it possible to make more zombies spawn? i feel like editing the events.xml doesnt do anything.
I encountered 4 zombies as soon as i spawned but then not a single one even in small towns. they are easy to kill so i would like to get a few more into the game

Edit: i saw some reddit post about that but that included editing some packed pbo addon  files and repack them that seemd a little sketchy idk

im curious to find this out too,   cause i have 5 people on my server  and had like 10 zombies  at spawn  and not seen a single one since then,  and the events.xml  doesnt really describe a whole bunch :/

Unpack DayZServer\addons\worlds_chernarusplus_ai with PBOManager or another PBO Tool.

Open zombie_territories.xml

This contains information around where the AI should spawn "x" & "z" being the location of the zone, "r" controls the radius, the "d" value I'm not sure about. With this file you could potenially generate spawn zones across the entire map or add more to areas that already have some.

Change the dmax and dmin values for each spawn zone.

Dmax/Min = Dynamic

Smax/Min = Static

<zone d="2" r="90" z="14634.2" x="7992.86" dmax="10" dmin="5" smax="5" smin="3" name="InfectedArmy"/>

Save and Copy/RePack back into the PBO file.

This events.xml was also provided by Dwarden on the DayZ discord, it fixed an issue where zombies weren't triggering at all in some areas.

so if i understand correctly    

<zone name="InfectedArmy" smin="3" smax="5" dmin="3" dmax="5" x="7992.86" z="14634.2" r="90" d="2"/>   

I should change this to

<zone name="InfectedArmy" smin="3" smax="5" dmin="10" dmax="50" x="7992.86" z="14634.2" r="90" d="2"/>

To have Min 10 Zombies and Max 50 Zombies?

[SmashT 10907]

Yep, for that zone specifically. I use find and replace in notepad++ to quickly change the values for a lot of zones at once.

hello, I also have the way the zombies have to digest, now the only question is how to bring them to

 

respawn Excuse my english

alright so i went through all zones and changed the numbers by around 3x and started server up,  nothing has spawned in NW Mil base and its been about 20 Mins :/       *this is also with that Event.xml you linked*

 

Going to revert back to default Events.xml and see if they spawn then

@smasht s way of doing it was exactly what i found on reddit but it didnt had an effect. it also feels kinda sketchy. why do we have to edit those addon files ?
nothing seems to help either way

How big of an fps hit was it on your server? I am looking at increasing zed spawns and eventually a hord that moves around the map once more tools are available.

I didn't realize you could adjust the weight on the items themselves. Could you point me in the right direction for this as I'll throw this on my to-do list as well. lol
