How to increase amount of zombies and loot for server?

[Nordichaun]

WHat would be a godo number to set into the g portal settings for max number of zombies allowed? if i put 2 would it be twice the amount or just 2 zombies total? also is there a way to increase or decrease item spawns?

[N0W3P]

That is the total amount of spawned puppets, so 2 = 2 puppets. I like to max that setting for maximum Carnage (100 is max, I believe)

The "spawn multiplier" settings control spawn probability. How that works is a bit more complex, but basically there 1 = 1x loot, 2 = 2x loot, etc

Feel free to ping me if you have questions on the settings, we've played with them pretty extensively

Is there ANY way to increase over 100???

Really need to find a way to do it. My friends and I are excited to play and have fun, but 6 or 8 puppets in town for 4 of us is not very..."omg omg ahhh run or shoot ahhh!!!" and is instead just too easy :(

Devs, please allow us to add more for those of us that wish to just play more PVE/Private - we shouldn't be punished for that!

As an Admin you could make a little Surprise. Spawning 100 Puppets into the Town, the Building etc. and then go in.

But only on a private Session, not on a normal private.

I'm not sure I understand. I put up a gportal server of our own. Do you galen to have the commands to do this?

I put 100 in at the weekend and it wasn't that much more than the 60 I had it set too beforehand if I am honest. Furthermore, at 100, none of the zombies would attack. They just stood still being angry.

If you find the number of puppets too low still, I suggest upping their strength. Puppets with 5x strength are no joke....

I want to feel like I'm running through the walking dead or some actual apocalypse, that's all. I want a horde of puppets running at us and making us cry. I need that oompf! There's got to be some way to do this ><

It is not really suggested to increase those numbers a lot, because then your server starts to get all laggy and stuff, at least until we do further optimizations. I mean go for it if you want to achieve that complete carnage mode, but performance will suffer.

There's only 4 of us that play together on a closed server. All 4 of us have top end crazy rigs. We have had NO issues with the game thus far, which is even more the reason to increase this count just for a little fun. Can you provide some information on how to achieve this? At least let us test it out.

Was thinking of trying increments of 50, and when we do see that 'server lag' then that's understandable, but the option to play around with it seems beneficial to test I think. Would greatly appreciate it.

iv found the airfield is about the only place where you will find any large numbers of puppets if you have the spawn limit set at 100. just drive/ running around you can get maybe 20+ chasing you

You'll need to rent a private server from G-Portal currently as there's no server hosting files available yet. If it's a small group of you, you can probably do this for under $10/mo. Otherwise, I already run a private server with max puppets and increased damage (and some other fun tweaks) - you're welcome to come give it a try first. Shoot me a DM if you would like some more details - happy to help you out with what all of the various server tweaks do.

Can confirm Frie's statement - lag is a bit noticeable on the server when we get more folks online with puppets cranked to max, especially for players with lower end machines.... but nothing horrible, and I'm in the same boat as you with a rig so manage through it pretty well.

Hey thank you for the reply and help. We also have a gportal server up. Have had it up for days now. They only allowed 20 slots, be careful if you do 10 slots because your server is subject to go offline as it did for me as they forced 20 again.

Anyway, as I said, there's only four of us. I buy video games for the three others all the time and we just play together - and we have top-of-the-line rigs. I think this will help us test some things. I've already posted some glitches and bugs I have found in the bug reports to help developers as well. I'm probably one of the only people here that's on a super monster high end laptop too, so I've also been keeping an eye on temperatures and stuff. Just think it would be beneficial to allow us to test this together some more, as other than the occasional game bugs, the game itself, the core, has been treating us very very well.

We don't have real good PVE missions yet, nor do we have any NPCs to interact with, so I just honestly think giving us the simple option, an option, to play with more puppets would bring more entertainment. Please devs.

we try multiple times after every players go off and we are only 3 of us we try and try, when put higher number it was worse then before, we go back, the wild its not in fuction , there is everytime only 2 or 1 pupet , when push the numbers there was no one pupet at all, before its work well, now i am happy that i have zombies in town, becouse wild not works on private multiplayers servers i think after the patch or hotfix

[steFo]
