Step 1: Choose Your Source File
You have two options to start:
- Start with Default Map: Choose this to create a new configuration based on a standard DayZ map. Select either Chernarus, Livonia, or Sakhal from the dropdown. The tool will load all default zombie territories for that map, grouped by type.
- Upload Your File: If you already have a
zombie_territories.xml
file, choose this option. The tool will parse your file, attempt to detect the map, and display all territories and zones it finds.
Step 2: Edit Zones
Once a file is loaded, the Zone Editor will appear. Territories are grouped into collapsible sections. For recognized maps, the primary territory will be expanded automatically.
- Add a Zone: Click the "Add Zone" button inside a territory's section. A popup will appear where you can define a new zombie spawn point for that group.
- Edit a Zone: Click the icon in any row to open the editor popup, pre-filled with that zone's data. Make your changes and click "Save".
- Delete a Zone: Click the icon to remove a zone from the list. This action is permanent for the current session.
Zone Parameters:
- Zombie Type: The classname of the infected to spawn (e.g., InfectedArmy).
- X / Z Coordinates: The center point of the spawn zone on the map.
- Radius (r): The radius of the spawn zone. For manually placed zones, this is often 0.
- dmin / dmax: The minimum and maximum density of zombies that can spawn in this zone. Set to 0 if using static spawns.
- smin / smax: The minimum and maximum number of zombies that spawn *statically* (at server start). Set to 0 if using dynamic spawns (dmin/dmax).
Step 3: Generate and Download
After you've finished making changes, click the "Generate XML File" button. This processes your changes and creates the new XML content. The "Download File" button will then appear. Click it to save your new zombie_territories.xml
file.
Special Note - InfectedMummy: If you add a zone with the `InfectedMummy` type, the tool will show you a snippet of code. You MUST add this code to your events.xml
file for the mummies to spawn correctly.
