Update the new profile folder
The 1.10.m update brings a lot of new features, but you have to manually update the profile folder.
If not done the Dark Horde will be deactivated.

Mandatory Modifications:
1 – Copy the new “PvZmoD_TheDarkHorde_Profile_V2” folder included in the mod in your server profile folder (same place than the old “ PvZmoD_TheDarkHorde_Profile”).
2 – Update the steam ID of the admins in the “Admins.txt” in the new folder.

Optional Modifications:
If you made modifications in the old .json or .c files you have to remake them in the new .xml

Tips to make modifications easier:
  • If you don't remember what you modified I advice you to compare your old .json with the values of the old help.txt (which contain the default values).
  • You can use the FromJsonToXml_Help.txt file included in the new profile to find where are the variables corresponding to the things you need to update.
  • With ctrl+F you can easily find your json number and the new corresponding variable name.
  • Read carefully the line when you find it because some values are not exactly the same between the old json and the new xml (for exemple all 100 corresponding to % are now 1.0 corresponding to multiplicator, and bulletproof / teleportation features are managed little bit differently).
  • Note that the “Horde_Speed_When_Not_Calm” have been increased, I advise you to keep the new values.
  • Don't forget to update the masters loot in Pvz_TheDarkHorde_ZombieLoot.xml file.
  • When you have update the profile folder you can delete the old one (but I advise you to save it somewhere just in case you forgot something or if I need to reverse the update).

If you use my other mod “PvZmoD Customisable Zombies”:
When this mod is used, it manages health / car resistance and speed of the horde zombies.

In the Characteristics.xml of this Customisable Zombies mod you have to decrease the day and night masters speed.
Change the “Move_Speed_Max” from 3.0 to 2.0
If not done the master will sprint too far from the horde.

In the same file you have to activate the dodge feature for masters
set the “Can_Dodge” value to 1

Be aware that there is 3 sections for masters, modify the “ZmbM_DH_Master_Day” is not enough (even if you modify its day and night column because the day master is only used at day time) you have to modify “ZmbM_DH_Master_Night” and “ZmbM_DH_Master_Night_NotThroughWalls” sections too.

If you use other map than Chernarus:
The CustomZones.xml SafeZones.xml TerrainLimites.xml and Waypoints.xml files have to be updated.
They already contains values for Livonia, DeerIsle and Namalks but you need to select the value corresponding to the map you use.

Sorry for the inconvenience but now it will be easier to tweak the horde (the json was become really to messy with all variables mixed).
