Code:
lower_spawn_min -100
lower_spawn_rand 100000
more sissy modding:
thank you very much, though i think your supposed to go like this:
lower_spawn_min <-100>
RAISE_spawn_rand <100000>
as it says in the patch manual.
Am I right? cos im confused on which is right...
Another question: What is i?
'lowers the chance of a monster randomly spawning by changing the random chance from 1/i to 1/(i+<n>).'
that's wat is says in the manual...

The brackets are to be left out, the code is correct as I posted it.
I can't tell you what 'i' is. It's a secret.
Seriously, I don't know.

i is defined on the Ecology itself as Rand(om)- basically an ecology is checked at a set period. If it is below the minimum amount set it triggers automatically the next time the trigger time passes, if it is between min and max set there is a chance equal to 1/i that the ecology will trigger over each successive period. So if you had a min of 1 and a max of 2, a Rand of 4 and a period of 30s, if there were zero AI present the next time the 30s period is checked an AI will generate automatically, if there is one present then a second one will generate on average every 2 minutes.
So if you add a lot to i you end up with the two minute average getting progressively longer, though as it is a probability you still can get an AI generating the next time it is checked no matter what you add to it.

thanks,
i set everything as:
no_spawn
lower_spawn_min -1000000
lower_spawn_rand 1000000000000000000000000000
in user.cfg,
hopefully that will get rid of random spawning :D

But spawning is good, how else will you farm hybrids?

you mean like getting 2 midwives and 4 hyrbrids in the same corridor every time you leave it for 5 mins? nah
actually, by adding lower_spawn_rand 10000000000000000000000
i got more respawns

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't 10000000000000000000000 far exceed the limit of 32-bit integer values?
