Modding Bloodmoon

[Zolokhan]

Has anyone else noticed that massively changed the .xmls for bloodmoon now.  for years it has been based off of days but now it is a giant auto generated list by game stage.  How the heck am i going to mod this now? The tediousness of changing every entry is nuts. 

They old system went every 7 days and set the max count etc.  The game stage just impacted the types of zombies that show up.  

now it is all rolled into one and I cannot mod it unless i change every entry.  

Anyone else noticed this ?

Well I decided to delete the entire spawner and make a new one with a lot less gamestages but they scale faster.  I have a mod that speeds up this game because as we all know ... after a certain point this game is super easy and just becomes a timesink.  So i maxxed the diffculty, boosted the skill point gain, and now i increased bloodmoon spawn rate.

It has been this way for awhile now, not sure which version you are comparing it to.

Personally I like the new version (A21) as it is cleaner and easier to read / understand.
