zHorde: A Simple Zombie Horde Spawning System

[HR] zHorde offers little, and you'll get just that and much more.

• No announcements or player messages!
• No rewards!
• No crazy configurations!
• No Discord joins!

Just a ton of zombie chaos! Out of the box, this mod spawns a crap load of zombies. A lot. Default is 12 hordes ranging between 40 to 170 zeds per. (if you're running a basic hosted server using under 12GB RAM, then I suggest lowering these values to something closer to 10/20/80)

Features:

• [h3]82 predefined spawn locations:[/h3] At random points along this red "loop" around Chernarus.
• 
• Route captured with Heatmap.
• [i]This mod will work on any map, but you will need to map new coordinates for it.
• You can use Heatmap or Maps by Ginfo.[/i]
• [h3]170 predefined vanilla zombies:[/h3] You can easily add zombies from other mods like CreepyZombies, DonutsZombies, or BXD_Animals.
• [h3]Unique Hordes:[/h3] The entire horde will be unique as long as your zombie list is greater than or equal to your max horde amount.
• [h3]Loot Toggle:[/h3] Horde zeds use the vanilla loot system (under your control). You can disable their loot entirely to prevent loot farming.

Hordes should stay stationary until activated by a nearby player; after that they slowly disperse and wander.

[quote=] [h2]In db\globals.xml, increase the zombie count to at least 1500-2200.[/h2] If you edit the horde count in config.json, you should always adjust [code]<var name="ZombieMaxCount" type="0" value="2500"/>[/code] in db\globals.xml to scale as needed. It's going to be a numbers game, so have fun. Keep the values reasonable to what your server and configuration can handle, and you should be mostly fine.
