Did some further research into the OPs question. Here is what I have found.
In the enclave.xml file (Game/Libs/rts) (Which is one hell of a long file btw) are some very interesting lines of code.
They all read: Status.Enemy.Unlock_XXXXX
There are many of them, multiples for each. They all specify a type of special zombie.

THEORETICALLY: If you say deleted each single occurance of the LINE that has the "Status.Enemy.Unlock_Feral" (As an example) in it from the file, and used that. Technically no EVENT would ever 'unlock' the Feral to begin spawning.

If you noticed...certain..events ( i am not sure of which) seem to 'unlock' new enemies. This so if you removed that unlock code for a certain enemy time from EVERY place it appears. Poof..they never unlock, game never lets them spawn.

I haven't tried it myself, but that seems to be the key.

Since the guy that did Romero Mod didnt include the xml's in his mod, its not easy to figure this stuff out at times. Hope this is right, it looks right.

Also: The REASON that the Romero mod doesn't have this feature as a stand alone is because its in the enclave file. So he tried to bundle em up in sensible sets it seems but its weird that he didnt give a straight "No specials" option. Oh well.

Totally off topic here.
Anyone ever look into the ph_inventory.xml file in the level.pak, not to be confused with levels.pak. This is the pak in the one folder normally in the game directory.

Reason for the question..

That stuff..
Interesting. Could they be..cheat codes of some sort? Hrm.



Back to topic as it were.
Refering to #2 in my OP.
Did some looking. Found something, not sure if it is it or not.
In Enclaves.xml. When talking about setting up enclaves. Noticed this bit of code (It appears multiple times)

So...thoughts.
This could very well be the cause of the problem (Which it turns out UL is aware of and it has been spoken about in various places) but..i somewhat doubt it.
Reason is because that is setting the ammo to a specific amount..sort of. It's not Setting it, its giving. Now I might be wrong here and in their code Giving=Setting. Who knows.
Secondly, if this was the piece of code that was the problem..then we should also see randomly appearing stacks of 44cal, 357cal, etc. This simply isn't happening (at least to me nor to anyone else from what i can tell).

Oh well. Figured id share regardless.


And yet another thing. Was going through files randomly.
libs/config/defaultprofile.xml
It has this code in it...
So that's the default file..
Now lets look at UL's file (That would be prototypeactionmap.xml in the same location).
Virtually the same piece of code..oh except they 'edited' the code out (For those non-code monkeys: this means that the program ignores the stuff between the <!-- and --> as just comments). I wonder..what would happen if you...changed it to this.
By all rights..this should give us a "Save Whenever We Damn Well Please" Feature.

Will have to test it out.
If it does, should be easy since well..its just an xml and there is no bmd version of it.

Anyone found out anything bout this? Rather changing it?
Its currently 1hr day/1hr night. Was thinking of switching it to a 2hr day/1hr night since that would be somewhat more realistic. Typically here (SE USA) daytime is from about 5AM to 9PM (16hrs) while night is 9PM to 5AM (8Hrs). With that in mind, just thinking that having a 2-1 instead of a 1-1 would be more realistic.

Thoughts? Anyone bothered looking yet?

I doubt it. From what ive seen that is probably coded into the story and thus hard to alter.

In the George Romero mod's Readme File...
If you scroll down, in the normal story area, #25 is the Disable/Enable special zombies.
So its there..
But that number doesnt correspond to the files in the zip.

There doesnt seem to be a STAND ALONE of the 'no special zombies'
HOWEVER. If you read the file names in the zip, it does appear 2 times.
"MoreEnclavesNoSpecialZombies" & "MoreEnclavesExtraAmmoNoSpecialZombies"
So pick between one of those for it id say.

If you google George Romero Mod and find it on..i think like moddb or somesuch, one of the things you can turn on (by putting it in) is No specials.
One thing...you will STILL find screamers in infestations. Those simply cant be turned off as they are forced to spawn occasionally. Everything else has a chance, which if made 0, makes them never spawn.

Id love to be able to make it so you can load rucksacks into a pickup truck. Say you can fit..3? Maybe 1 extra in a car. Would make things much better.

Also, i wonder (and sorry for offtopic) if there is a way to add inventory to a car. Hrm.

Thanks for the reply.
1)Yeh im aware that making the small carry 10 instead of 8 was easy and works. The whole point was to see if i could push it past that as i said above. I figured their might be some issues since there was nothing higher than it and i doubt its setup to even handle it. Was much simpler in ARMAII/Dayz to modify bag numbers. Sigh.

Typically i had combo weight/slow systems especially when they do it as badly as SoD has. 10 slots is A LOT if those are 10 guns. Yet 10 different meds somehow taking up the same space? Yeh no. Id much rather make the bag space much larger (Small being 14, large 20) and then reworking the weight numbers of stuff so you can carry large amounts of small things or a few big things.

2)Hrm yeh that was what i was worried about. Cause its only when i go offline, then online again, that stuff gets lost. Mainly ammo. I now have to suck every ammo i can that is past the 60 or 90 cuttoff into my inventory before saving/exiting. Kinda retarded.

3)Awesome, figured it would since its a fairly simple line of code.

I had heard about the home assets being able to be edited. Was worried that if you messed with some numbers, weird things would happen. Seems so. Good to know.

Thanks again.

If anyone has made any progress (Currently not at home on my pc that has SoD installed) on pushing bag limits past 10 or the ammo in the locker thing, please say so.

So i did some looking around through stuff, and used the Romero mod as a handy "Where to find stuff" guide, which helped alot. I have some background in developing mods for DayZ, but I am new to working with this engine so yeh.

But i have a few questions, maybe some of you know the answers.
1)Backpacks: Found out where to edit their capacity. Question is...what is the limit? Small being 8 and Large being 10 normally. What happens if I increase it to say Small being 10 and Large being 14. I doubt the small will have issue, the question focuses on the large. I guess what I am worried about is graphical issues, it simply not displaying 14 slots or not knowing what to do with it. Any insight here would be lovely.

2)I have yet to find where this bit of code is hiding for this next part. Whenever i go to the esc menu and it saves, then if i exit and come back later..I am missing ammo from my stash. It seems to be that there is a Limit to what itll 'save'. That limit being 90. For instance, had 120+ rounds of 45ACP yet when i came back..only 90 remaining. It showed 90 for 45ACP, 9mm, and 22LR actually. Id love to find where this bit of code is and change it. I know where the code is for the stack sizes of ammo for your INVENTORY, but that really doesn't help much (says 30). Or does it? Maybe the stash is limited to 3 stacks thus increasing the stack size would thereby increase the limit in the stash? Anyone have any experience here?

3)In the items.xml file, around line 699 to 724, it talks about suppressors. There is a line that reads "ConsumableDataSuppessor". For each of the suppressors it shows a number: 10,30,50. Thats the number of uses. I wonder what would happen if someone was to oh say..increase those. The improvised being only 10? That i am fine with. But I think the homemade should be 50 and the machine needs to be much higher, like easily 100. Again, before i go through with this, anyone else done this already?


Those are the big 3 things. I have seen some other mods that have changed other parts so I know those 'work as intended'. Its these 3 things that Id like some confirmation on before i go putzing with.

Case in point: Romero Mod increases the stack size of ammo, in inventory, to like 250something if you use Rambo part. Having not actually tested it, I can't say if thatll work for the Home Stash issue too.

In the end, there's a few things I would like to change yet there is no mod that changes them how I want them to be changed. Rather, no mod that does it all. A few mods do different pieces but yeh.

Any insights would be appreciated.
