The mod have to be load server And client side.

• Subscribe to the mod in the workshop.
  
• Copy the @PvZmoD_Spawn_System folder from your !Workshop client folder to your server root folder.
  
• Copy the Liven.bikey file to the server keys folder.
  
• Add "-mod=@PvZmoD_Spawn_System" in your .bat server launching file

("-mod=@PvZmoD_Spawn_System;@OtherMod" if you have other mods to load).
Note that this mod has to be loaded server and client side.

This files will allow you to customise the mod as you want.

• Copy the PvZmoD_Spawn_System_Profile(*) folder to your server profile folder
  (copy the folder itself not just its content - find the profile folder path in your .bat server launching file - sometime it is named "profile" sometime "config" sometime something else depending on your provider)
  
• In this new folder open Admins.txt add the idsteam64 of people that are allow to refresh realtime modifications (find this id in steam player profil http link)

(*) If you use Livonia (or other) map, you have to copy "PvZmoD_Spawn_System_Profile_Livonia" folder in your server profile folder and rename it to "PvZmoD_Spawn_System_Profile"

Not mandatory but highly recommended if you want your players easily access to your discord (or other website you choose)
Follow the tutorial here
(if already done because you use another PvZmoD, you don't need to do it again)

(Not mandatory)
By default the Night zombies feature is not activated.
If you want to spawn different zombie types or quantities at night time read this thread to activate the feature.

(Not mandatory, but can help to save some server resources)

• Open mpmissions/Your.Map/db/ globals.xml
  
• (These modifications will have to be redone if a DayZ update modify this file)
  
• Modify or Add this line :

(Not mandatory, but remember that vanilla spawn system use server resources if enable)

• Open mpmissions/Your.Map/db/ globals.xml
  
• (These modifications will have to be redone if a DayZ update modify this file)
  
• Modify this line to set the value to 0 :

If you want to use PvZ and Vanilla spawn system together or if you run a high populated server, I highly recommend read this post :
Make PvZ and vanilla spawn systems work together

(Not mandatory, but it is easier to balance loot without vanilla layer)

• Delete zombies sections in cfgspawnabletypes.xml in mpmissions / Your.Map /
  
• (This operation will have to be redone if a DayZ update modify this file)

The installation is done. Just tweak the basic values to fit your server needs.

In your profile folder:

• Open RealTimeTweaks.json file
  
• Look at the values of these lines :
  
• "1" Maximum zombie Number (important for server performances*)
  
• "3" Dynamic spawn Ratio (increase make game more difficult**)
  
• "4" Static spawn Ratio (increase make game more difficult**)

* You should begin low then increase to monitor server performances.
Let me know how many players / zombies you reach.

** 0 to deactivate spawn
50 is good for vanilla zeds
100 for my other mod PvZmoD Tweaked Zombies
Maybe more for walking dead mods
Find your own settings

For the other values in this file, you can find help in RealTimeTweaks-Help.txt

When you think your are OK, you can press numpad5 ingame (or restart server).
You will see a message ingame, if not, verify your admin.txt and if something seems not working properly, use this tool[jsonlint.com] to verify your .json file.


This mod is Fully Customisable. Tweaking means taking precautions to not redo things.

When futur updates of the mod will occures, always take a look to the patch notes because changements can occur in profile files that imply to copy again the files in your profile folder. I'll try to group these changes to not have to update too often and most of these updates should not be mandatory (as long as it is just tweaks).

If you modify the profile files I recommend to you to add a comment in the code (something like //PersonnalModifications for exemple), so if this file have to be updated, you can easily redo your modifications on the new file before crush yours.

Don't add comments in the .json file (but you can in .txt and .c files).

Last thing, if profile folder need to be update, do not replace the Admin.txt or you will need to add the idsteam64 in it again.

I Created a “News” thread that I recommend you to subscribe to because I will share on it some informations that can be useful. It is for you the best way to don't be surprise by updates that need some file adjustments for example.
