Hybrid zombie population

New in 1.1.0 and on by default. The hybrid population fills the streets with cheap local walkers (“filler”) that each client runs by itself. When a filler walker notices a player it turns into a real networked zombie, owned by the server like every other one.

What players get: busier towns, extra crowds in hot zones (hospitals, military sites, malls), and fewer walkers at night.

Settings (F1 > Zombies)

Setting	What
Hybrid population	The main switch. Off restores the old population exactly
Filler density	Multiplies every filler target
Filler target: Los Santos	Filler walkers kept within 180 m of a player in the city
Filler target: north towns	Same for Sandy Shores, Grapeseed, Paleto and Harmony
Filler target: countryside	Filler outside towns. 0 keeps today’s networked numbers
Night population x	Multiplier at night (20:00 to 06:00 game time)
Filler hard cap	Most filler peds one client holds. Filler also gives way when the ped pool gets busy

The hybrid mode also scales the networked cap with server size and with night.

Known issues

New and not tested with a full server. If you see problems, switch Hybrid population off in F1 to go back to the old spawner. See also Zombies.
