Several Issues with <zone smin="0" smax="0" dmin="1" dmax="2" r="40" /> line in cfgeventspawn.xml file.
Awaiting internal Testing, UrgentPublic

Description

Game Version: 1.19.155542
System: Xbox

<zone smin="0" smax="0" dmin="1" dmax="2" r="20" />

Events from cfg.eventgroups.xml file seem to spawn no infected to very small amount of infected when an event has spawned on the map. (Both Livonia and Chernarus)
Some events spawn up to 100 zombies if it's a custom event, that more than 10 objects.

I have a rather suggestion to make the zone line to spawn a fixed total amount of infected instead of an infected to object ratio. As an example, up to 20 infected for a spawn event <zone smin="0" smax="0" dmin="10" dmax="20" r="20" />, unlike the current 1 to 2 infected per object that has spawned.

Events like the vanilla police situations and military convoys spawn little to no infects at all.
Train Wrecks seem to be working fine.
Custom Events with more than 10 objects tend to spawn 40+ zombies.

I have been testing on my server and it seems to be reproducible. <zone smin="0" smax="0" dmin="1" dmax="2" r="20" /> seems to have little to no infected. <zone smin="0" smax="0" dmin="2" dmax="4" r="20" /> seems to have a moderate amount of infected.

Lowered Convoys to be 3 on my server that I play on and notice some other events are doing it when I lowered it. Since then Zombies that are supposed to spawn with the convoy are now spawning seperately, the convoy will not have zombies with them, and vice versa, the zombies don't have a convoy with them. Never touch the convoys in the event groups file, or the event spawns file, only lowered them in the events file. I'll also send the event groups file and events spawn so you have a better understanding just in case if I'm misunderstanding. My ideas are that they are spawning them separately, they don't despawn after the event gets cleaned up. Sorry for any troubles I cause if its my part.

Zombie quantities are set via the economycore file for events.

<default name="dyn_dmin" value="8" />
<default name="dyn_dmax" value="10" />

economycore file is for pc i believe, as for console the only economy file we have is the economy.xml file. the zone line in eventspawns.xml file is what controls the zombie spawns on events on console.

I’m console (Xbox) and use the economycore.xml file to make all event zombie adjustments. Double check your nitrado, the file will be there.

Must have scrolled past thousands of times and never noticed that file lol, my bad. I left that default though, I have never touched it. Plus these events are custom and they have been spawning to much zumbies to handle. Its bigger than the hordes you'll deal on Dead Rising 3, yes bigger then DR3.


This is one of the events spawning too many.
