How to Fix zombie spawns

[Damon McClanahan 1]

I noticed after setting up your private server with the recently released server files, you could wonder to the next town over from spawn and you would no longer find Infected wondering about.. Fixing it is pretty simple :)

Go to your DayZ Server folder > Mpmissions > DayzOffline.chernarusplus > DB > Events.XML   

Example (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer\mpmissions\dayzOffline.chernarusplus\db)

Then find all of the "Infected" events such as Infectedarmy, Infectedcity, infectedfirefighter, infectedmedic, infectedpolice, infectedprisoner, infectedsolitude, and infectedvillage.

Under each will be a line for all labeled "Children" and some lines starting with "Child". Leave "lootmax" value be. change the "max="0"" to a value equal to or more then the "min" value beside it.

If any questions just ask and I'd be happy to help.

(Example) - 

<children>
            <child lootmax="5" lootmin="0" max="0" min="40" type="ZmbM_PatrolNormal_Autumn"/>
            <child lootmax="5" lootmin="0" max="0" min="10" type="ZmbM_PatrolNormal_Flat"/>
            <child lootmax="5" lootmin="0" max="0" min="20" type="ZmbM_PatrolNormal_PautRev"/>
            <child lootmax="5" lootmin="0" max="0" min="10" type="ZmbM_PatrolNormal_Summer"/>
            <child lootmax="5" lootmin="0" max="0" min="20" type="ZmbM_SoldierNormal"/>
     </children>

To

<children>
            <child lootmax="5" lootmin="0" max="40" min="40" type="ZmbM_PatrolNormal_Autumn"/>
            <child lootmax="5" lootmin="0" max="10" min="10" type="ZmbM_PatrolNormal_Flat"/>
            <child lootmax="5" lootmin="0" max="20" min="20" type="ZmbM_PatrolNormal_PautRev"/>
            <child lootmax="5" lootmin="0" max="10" min="10" type="ZmbM_PatrolNormal_Summer"/>
            <child lootmax="5" lootmin="0" max="20" min="20" type="ZmbM_SoldierNormal"/>
     </children>

I changed the dmax min and max in the chernarus_ai pbo seems to have upped the dynamic spawns so you don't  end up overloading the server with loads of zombies in areas with no players seems to have worked well now when I enter a new town I encounter loads of zombies there were over 20 in gorka and stary was insane

Chernarus_ai pbo ..? Where's that located? I've not seen it anywhere in my files.

Edit: oh.. nevermind I found it.. and I wasn't making this post to Add a ton of zombies to area's but to make them spawn in more than just the town you spawn closest to. I only had zombies in my initial spawn area and outside of that none would spawn, this was to fix that problem. but thank you for this, I wanted to add loads more. :)
