Exile Zombies...

[xenoby68]

I am experienceing something that no one else seems to have. On exile/w zombies I constantly have zombies spawning on me seriously like 20 to 30 and its constant no matter if i am new spawn have not fired a shot or are trying to maintain a low silohette.. This happens no matter where I am what server etc. I cant even do missions or loot I am constantly running now. If I run around in circles i can have up to 50 on me at a time they just steadly spawn about every 3 to 10 seconds. I know about being seen i know about noise. I cant even stop to heal one to 3 will spawn right on top of me. Seriously I have tried everything I used to like exile I want to be able to actually do more than just kill zombies
HHHHHEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!

Z&D mods sucks that's why all Exile DayZ ripoff servers suck, you're better off playing a server without zombies, and hope Ryan stops making his poorly made zombie mod and let someone else take the torch.

Was looking for insight into code, memory states and code behaviour but thank u..

Same thing with me, I cant enjoy exile with zombies because they are constantly spawning on me and i know how to stealth but they can see through walls even when i am inside a house and i cant ever break los to lose them they follow me around the whole map. It sucks because if the zombies were even like they are in dayz sa i would be happy.

Guys I can help here as I use to run my own Arma servers and I know the coding. I can tell you that if you are going on different servers things are different. Every server has a separate configuration. Though Ryans Zombie is the source it generally is not what is used to spawn the z. That said the spawner used is configured by the server owner. On the off chance you are playing on a server with an inexperienced server owner then they may be running default settings and yes they are brutal. I woul suggest looking for a server with a Discord or a website that seems to have a formed community. Usually the people running those are skilled and configure things to the masses liking.
Sorry I got tired of Arma coding and the work that goes into setting a server up so I no longer do it. Off the top of my head I think Something Old Goats is a good server ran by an experience guy. I once knew him and I think he is on my friends list.

I hope this helps out though it does not solve the issue. I know when you are just a player and do not understand the coding things seem messed up. Really it has to do with the server owner and what they do. Also if the map is on Altis with no mods like RHS then generally they do not know how to set all that up as it is a lot of work to add that to the server.

I'm running a server right now that uses Ravage to spawn zombies. They aren't as messed up as Ryan's Zombies, and you can shoot them anywhere and still kill them, and yes you can sneak. Though to be honest, sneaking isn't as effective in DayZ or Ravage+Exile as simply running around and dodging them. I even have it set up on Chernarus to get that old DayZ vibe. Exile+Ravage+Defent's Mission System+DMS Occupation+CUP/RHS Complete Weapons and Vehicles is about on par with a heavily modded ArmA 2 DayZ Mod server from back in the day.

The only problem I've encountered is that eventually zombies stop spawning, so I have to keep the darn thing restarting every couple of hours.

Another problem is that hardly anyone knows what Ravage is, and thus finding a player base except my friends is even worse than the zombies spawning once and then getting all killed and not coming back.

If any of you are interested in a more DayZ mod type experience send me a PM and after I get home from work today, I can give you details on how to join the server. Tell yer friends.

Are you running the newest version of ravage mod?

Also have you looked into using a Exile zombie script to handle the z spawning. I know Ravage is a bit different from Ryan but Ryan works with like ExileZ script which if you did not know only is in charge of spawning in the zombie.

Yes, I am.

And to the guy direclty beneath you in the reply list: I am aware of Ryan Zombies, but the issue with them is that their sounds are all off kilter (sound like they are right on top of you but you are 200m away type deal). They also seem to jump around despite what I have set in the config file, and they are also bullet sponges...again despite being set lower in the config file.

Ravage zombies are simply superior...better sounds, better animations, no jumping, "realistic" health...so I use those ones.

LOL
I think all these is just a matter of "I cant kill others or make missions without bordered by Zeds".
But this is a missunderstanding of the mod itself. The Zeds SHOULD be a massiv threat!
Like a good server should have three goals:
- F*** YOU
- TAKE EVERYTHING FROM YOU
- KILL YOU
Where is challenge without that?

And by the way ........ you can config all these Zeds ...... no crawlers, no spiders, no demons ....... slow and fast ones ......... slow ones only ........ fast ones only ....... how many or not.
But that needs some scripting experience ........ the most "Server Owners" are happy when they got a Mod running and thats it

hmmm and again this comment serves only to boast and provide an outlet to seem better than others nothing contained within is a suggestion or even remotely a true communications effort its just self involved ego stroking and and thinly veiled insults sometimes i am disgusted by how this seems to be ok... when real geeks stopped playing games the whole genre went to pot now it just arrogance, ignorance and insults wapped in a false sense of bravado! I bet you laugh at people when they comment on this behaviour which means you are also clueless and confused as to what this genre could become. To make a point what i am saying is this place is not a place for you to fly your i am better than you flag.. the only one you impress is yourself!

Anyway for all of those who actuallt read and answered thank you for being real and adult and helping!

Just extract @ExileServer\addons\exilez_mod.pbo and edit config.sqf. Set EZM_UseHarassingZombies to false. Repack pbo and there you go ;-)
