Hi StopYourself,

1) You have to move to make zombies spawn. If you don’t move they will not spawn. This to not spawn useless zombies on afk players (and thus save server resources).

2) There is a couple of things you can try to have more single zombies :

a) Enable vanilla zombies can be a good idea for non-countryside zones.

b) Increase the spawn radius (« Area Radius » in DynamicSpawnDatas.c) to make zeds that spawn in the same group less close to each other.
c) Decrease the number of zeds per group and decrease the time beteween each spawn (« NbrMini/Maxi and TimeMini/Maxi in DynamicSpawnDatas.c)
c1) You can increase the « Lateral SHIFT » in DynamicSpawnDatas.c to make that the groups will not spawn to close to each other.

Note that b) and c) affect the spawn characteristics of the zones, you can’t have groups AND single zombies with these modifications.

d) To have groups AND single zombies I think you have to look at the « focus » feature.
This feature makes that a player can be focus or not by the dynamic system.
When the player is focused the groups of zombies will spawn with DynamicSpawnDatas.c quantities.
When the player is not focused only one zombie will spawn instead of DynamicSpawnDatas.c quantities each time a group should spawn.
This feature goal is to alternate calm and intensive moments to diversify situations.

To tweak this focus feature you have some values in the json file :
d1) « 12 » and « 13 » value are the minimum and maximum time between each "focus/non focus" choice (can’t be lower that 1 minute).
d2) « 59 » is the chance (%) to be focus each time the choice is trigger (when above timer is reach)
d3) « 9 » you make more or less zombies to spawn on the non focused players (more informations in the help file)

In conlusion I think you should try to lower the « 12 » « 13 » focus timer, lower « TimeMini/Maxi » in DynamicSpawnDatas.c and find the « 59 » chance to be focus conresponding to your needs.

I hope it will help you, your specific needs push my system to its limits (it is far from perfect) but you see there is still some things to try.

This is so helpful! I've been tweaking as I read the help file but I stayed away from the DynamicSpawnDatas.c files. They looked intimidating, but your explanations have helped! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some obvious solution.

Right now, I have way too many zombies (and zombie waves) spawning so it's like a never-ending wave that can never be cleared. Then when I added the horde, agh! I can't even take that down while testing with god mode and unlimited ammo. hahaha.

So more tweaking needed. I can't wait to try these things and I appreciate your explanations. Takes time to test but I am enjoying it trying to find the right balance.

so if i wanted lots of extra zombies but smaller groups of 3 instead of 8 or more i just have to decrease the spawn time from 5 mins to say 2 mins to get more zombies in smaller groups?
i am trying to get a lot more zombies but not spawning on me in waves, if i shoot and miss a zombie and alert zombies i only want the zombies that are already in range not more just appearing because ive killed most of them and missed a couple shots.
