DayZ Console Modding Beginners Guide: How To Increase, Decrease Or Remove Infected Zombies

[@GrampasDayZChannelDZ]

Hey Mate, little trick I learnt copy the XML into chatgpt and then add the prompt eg: "increase all dmin and dmax by 20%" it will proportionally increase each area but the set percentage. It will then give you a XML file completed in a minute. keep up the great work mate "Have a great DayZ"

[@KoolBreeze420]

I advocate for an increase in the number of infected in DayZ. Specifically, I believe introducing hordes in certain areas would add a crucial dynamic to the game. Currently, the primary threat in DayZ often comes from other players and the environment. As it stands, acquiring a knife can set you up for survival, but the gameplay often revolves around finding a gun to engage other players and increase your gear. I propose that by introducing more infected, players would be compelled to team up more willingly. Instead of expending resources on PVP encounters, players would find themselves forced to cooperate against the infected, creating a PVE dynamic. This adjustment wouldn't eliminate PVP but would make it more natural for players to seek alliances for survival against the heightened infected threat. Perhaps my perspective is open to debate, but I believe it could bring about a more immersive and cooperative gameplay experience.

[@hiilikeyourbeard]

here for this reason specifically! yes yes yes yes

[@blaze7386]

the variants as well.. sure you have differently clothed infected, but what about the way they act and the abilities that they have ?

[@PwnerAssasin]

6:40 when looking at those events.xml min values for the children, those numbers mean percentage chance that zombie will be picked to spawn out of all those children for every time that event spawns. If you add up the min values of all the children throughout all the infected events you'll notice the sum will always equal out to 100 (or 100%) for each infected event

[@bro5662]

I put 200 zombies at each of the major cities and it still runs runs pretty smooth. You just gotta change your play style and run from house to house to catch stamina.

[@jadenapgar9154]

Great work man you have bassically made my server

[@LeoLukasievicz]

thanks man! also increasig the number of zombies is great with the "Slow Zombies" mod

[@MrBroccles]

Working on console?

[@jobama3588]

Have you messed around with the respawn distance of zombies?

[@the_real_greywolf]

Is it only the infected army dmin that you need to change or all of them?

[@aaronpoisson]

I want to remove infected at my base, it’s out in the woods - but there’s a few that spawn and I don’t want them triggering parameter traps, those are for raiders, so I’m going to update zombie territories file. But what does territory color mean sir?

[@realRonniePunani]

can you post edited files or maybe link to someone who has already done the leg work? I'd Really appreciate it.

[@Dino2GunZ]

He post them in the description sometimes

[@buddyherbert2285]

Is there a way to slow the zombies down to a walk or walk fast like in the walking dead I'm on console so the steam mod won't work

[@rookstar8582]

Say ya wanted to lower zombies by 20% if I changed in the global down to 800 would this work or would I still have to go and lower it in zombies territories file aswell?

[@smallcaterpillars]

Does this work for animals too?

[@ValCronin]

i dont see why it wouldnt. i would just look for animals in the code instead of infected

[@seanlara5694]

I have looked around your videos and I have looked through a lot of forums. Hoping you have an answer. I would like to decrease the spawn rate and the aggro distance.

[@XB0XHeadShot]

I have been searching for this answer too. Some zombies spawn back within a couple minutes and it is a pain. Seems like such an easy fix or mod but I still don't have the answer.

[@Benny_jack]

what do these parameters mean at the end of the line? r="100" d="2"/> what does the R and D do?

[@isolatedcell1013]

I have recently heard that the difference between static and dynamic is whether they spawn back in right away. do you have a definite answer on that now? i know this is an older video.

[@ScalespeederGaming]

Not sure, I'll have to look into it.

[@awheathcote1857]

Any chance you can do a video on cars and how to have them respawn every restart?

[@joshuabruce837]

Spawnable events turn the active 0 then restart server then login to the account logout put the active to 1 then login on any vehicle or truck

[@crypto2euro702]

quick question, the R="60"/> at the end, is that respawn timer? is it count in seconds or minutes?

[@ScalespeederGaming]

That may be the radius in which they spawn.

[@shclim-uc7nb]

why cant i edit the globals.xml

[@dxmimzy]

If I am in the "events.xml" file, can't I also change the 1 TO 0 to turn off specific zombies that live in curtain towns? That way zombie events only happen with specific areas and with only those specific type of zombies?

[@ScalespeederGaming]

Yes.

[@edithboozy1000]

How many zombies can I ADD before the game starts to get buggy?

[@jordydeknecht9892]

Is there any way discovered to add more zombies to Heli Crash events? I can’t seem to get it right after literally tens of hours testing

[@pxdload1968]

@Scalespeeder Gaming what do i habe to do with old file? Can i just delete that file or should i keep it?

[@theunknownprojects6159]

I love your videos mate I tip my hat , what’s the best hardware to use for mod for console. I really don’t want to Spend loads of money on a gaming PC but don’t want to waste money on a under performing laptop or tower if you know what I mean

[@ScalespeederGaming]

I use a Shadow Cloud Gaming PC as I can't afford a decent laptop or PC at the moment.

[@wyveryn2004]

This was great. Is it possible to add a specific location so zombies will spawn when players approach?

[@aaronpoisson]

Yeah, you just need to get map position data then could add a line of code for the type of infected you want in that location.

[@smuggler-gk2ts]

I built a new Toxic Island using the editor, is there a way to spawn in zombies on this Island,i set up new static event, but maybe it is because its above the water level, any help appreciated thnx

[@ScalespeederGaming]

Maybe just add the coordinates to existing events.

[@samsneek4569]

Good video 💪🏽

[@bobcrutch8905]

Hello I hope you are well, I have an issue with my server, the animals are playing up, there are all the farm animals, wolves,bears but no deer of any kind or wild boar, I've not tampered with anything and I've done a reinstall so all the players lost everything including my mega base which took me 2 months to build, but still no deer ( theres a place near tyzy where they are normally practically running under the wheels of your truck) but even stalking round there aren't any ...Ideas?...cheers now

[@graylake1540]

Is there any way you can set zeds to spawn at night only 🤷

[@Eastbay176]

Yo can you decrease the zombies by just lowering the max from 1000 to 100?

[@ScalespeederGaming]

You could, but that would only restrict the total number of zombies allowed to spawn in the server, so if it was quiet, you'd still get large groups of infected.

[@FernandoRodrigues-bf6ky]

U have a mod zombie mutant to indication and how config this mod pls! I recent create a server Lan for play with my son...and like a mod for zombies.. I Brazilian ..Sorry my english ...tks
