Decreasing Zombies - Mission Success
« Thread Started on Dec 15, 2010, 8:39am »
.EXE file created by rocketbike



I've decreased the number of zombies drastically, though the type changes didn't seem to take(hard to really tell), still helps gameplay for those that need it.

Still thick areas here and there, but not so bad.

Hope this is OK to attach instead of using a 3rd party site for a tiny zipped file.

Drastically reduced # of zombies.
Zombies shouldn't follow you.(do attack though, and may wander up behind you...and the same goes for NPCs)

It seems the change type didn't take, but it's functional.

I don't care what you do with it. Someone can put it on a host, or edit, or include in their own mod pack, whatever.

Addition by anno1404
The mission.txt file is located in:

\data\datafile_big

Back up your old mission file first, by dragging it out, or renaming it.

Screenshot of unpacked datafile.big

Great job! Editors like you make this site great. There have been around 5 posts asking for this. I will link them all here.

I am going to use this file right now. THANK YOU.
[spoiler]Zero zombies

For those who are trying to remove ALL zombies (but no missions or cases):

The debug mode removes all zombies:

High rollers option on main debug screen - removes all inside zombies.

X_FORTUNE EXTERIOR under levels - removes all outside zombies.

See Debug mode for how to set this up.

Instructions for use

Download and extract the mission file.

Unpack data/datafile.big.

Replacing the current mission file with this download file.

skip_cinematics = "true"
« Reply #5 on Dec 31, 2010, 8:56pm »
FIRST

I just found out that for loading times, changing the setting skip_cinematics to true in debugger will make the game load the beginning screens extremely faster.

skip_cinematics = "true"

Mod:Debug Mode Options available

instructions at top of article on how to set up.


SECOND

Improve performance post

Also see: lessen zombies in dead rising 2 for other suggestions

For speeding up the game see:

Improve Performance (speed up game)

Possible Third

Adopted from the Boykin case in missions.txt, adapted and added to the Lush-ious Lady case in missions.txt:

Code:
cMissionZombieRemoval SupressZombies
        {
            Location = "-310.435,-5.642,-85.148"
            Radius = "2000"
        }


Does not work for me in test


Fourth

see also the posting and attached missions.txt file which has:

No survivors,
No zombies,
No psychopaths
No missions,
No cases.

Can you possibly make a mod where there is a good middle ground between this decrease in zombies and the default number?

(Forgive the reply on an ancient post - I just now got around to playing this great game.)

Actually, it only took about 5 minutes to write a Perl script that changes the values in all 3092 locations instantly.

See attached for a version that has 3 times the Zombies in the original post (nothing else was changed), which is a nice balance. You can still run around most of them, but it also allows some fun with a paddle saw in crowded areas.


4Shared.com link:

http://www.4shared.com/office/rSGRbCjP/missions.html


Perl script:

Code:
open(FILE,"<missions.txt") || die "Could not open file:\n$!\n";
open(OUTFILE,">missions_3x_zombies.txt") || die "Could not open new file:\n$!\n";
$numchanges=0;
while(<FILE>){
if (/Amount\d\s=\s\"(\d+)\"/) {
$old=$1;
$line=$_;
$new=int($old * 3);
$line =~ s/\"$old\"/\"$new\"/;
print OUTFILE $line;
$numchanges++;
} else {
print OUTFILE;
}
}
print "Done! $numchanges lines changed!\n";
close FILE;
close OUTFILE;
