Tons of the same zombie

I've adjusted my zombie numbers in events.xml and zombie_territories.xml so that I have more zombies on my server. However, it seems that when zombies spawn in an area, they are all the same model for a particular spawn. For example, here's a screenshot from outside of a cowshed, where I killed a bunch of zombies. Why aren't there a variety of zombies? They're all the female zombie in the tracksuit.

I just looked in my server log and I see that only 1 type of zombie is spawning for each area. I guess I configured something wrong in one of my files:

After looking at my events.xml, I think I might have found the problem. I set max=20 for every zombie so I think that forced the first zombie in each list to be the only one that spawned. Changed those back to 0 to see what happens.

I'm putting these notes here for anyone that might come across this thread later on...

The min="5" in events.xml, in the list of each type of zombie is the percent of that type of zombie, so if you set one zombie's "min" to 80, then 80% of the zombies will be that type... now I understand this a little better! :)

You also have the blue hiker set like this so first 250 dynamic spawns will always be her

Actually, the "min=" setting in events.xml is the PERCENT chance of that zombie type spawning. I didn't understand that so I had it set to 250, which meant that 250% of the zombies would be that one model. 

Here's what I have in "InfectedArmy" so there's an even chance of all 5 types of Army zombies: 

            <child lootmax="5" lootmin="0" max="0" min="20" type="ZmbM_PatrolNormal_Autumn"/>
            <child lootmax="5" lootmin="0" max="0" min="20" 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="20" type="ZmbM_PatrolNormal_Summer"/>
            <child lootmax="5" lootmin="0" max="0" min="20" type="ZmbM_SoldierNormal"/>
