Disable the 7 day hordes?

[Honda Beat Boi]

is there anyway to disable the 7 day hordes???

[sbangs007]

Not to my knowledge. But w my fresh meat server i started for newbies. I reset the time a few times to give players more time to learn n prepare.

Bit like playing a soccer game and wanting to disable the goalie really isn't it ????

I noticed you can disable zombies from the main menu, but I'm not sure it disables 7 day horde. Not tried any of this though as I prefer to keep zombies on; else I'm just Bear Grylls!

If you just started to paly 7DTD I recomend to start playing on single players mode first!!!
Reduce zombie spawn to minimum and when you will learn, increese zombie spawn to max step by step.
After when you will get experience you can start your advanture in glitched multiplayers sesion where players clone items, heh.

Yes if you disable zombies in the main options, you will not get any zombies on horde night. I did this many times to get builds done that I wanted to spend time on without zombie worries. It does kind of take away from what the game is all about though, so I stopped doing it.

1. If you want to play "against" the purpose of the game, play in creative. It'll disable the zombie hordes and roaming zombies, but you might get the odd zombie(s) at POIs though, albeit very rarely.

2. If you've owned it for a "long" time as you say - you should know about the 7th day Feral Horde. You should know that's the whole point of the game and what the various options do (such as Creative Mode).

3. Although it was poorly commented / compared by the poster - I do agree. Disabling the 7th day Feral Horde is like asking the opposing team to NOT shoot the ball towards your goal and let you win. :P

However, to each their own. If you like to play Minecraft-style in the 7 Days world - be my guest. :P

Since noone has replyed yet: Yes you can. you need to edit one of the xml files Let me check which... brb..

Edit: It's in the Config/Data folder

Seems like its the
Data/Config/gamestages.xml
and
Data/Config/entitygroups.xml
files.

Wow, it has changed a lot since I viewed it last time.
It's XML so shoould be easy to understand. there are lots of comments too. SAVE A BACKUP in case you mess something up.

You can just drink alcohol and run in circles around spikes make large patch and a ramp to jump over them for easy kills. The loot is good its worth it.

I did a quick video to explore how different settings in gamestages.xml affect blood moon hordes. While the purpose was to help players making it more difficult, the same principles would apply to making it easier.

I posted another thread, but the link to the video is: 7 Days to Die - Test #1 - Blood Moon horde size configuration

What you could do is alter it to your liking, such as a max zombies per horde to 1 through the maxAlive attribute, (I haven't tried 0, but it probably works as well).. that way the horde would trigger, but consisting of 0 zombies nothing would actually appear.
