Set Monster Waves

I was wondering if anyone knew any if of the monster mods are set up to handle specified monster waves.

I have been thinking about doing a remake of an old map I once did for Doom 3 in the minetest where you have to defend a fort vs set waves. Depending on the wave they spawn from different areas. So basically for example at 30 seconds in 10 zombies come from a right tunnel and then 60 seconds in 15 spiders come from a left tunnel, etc. I have been checking out minetest_defense subgame a bit though it works slightly differently.

Thanks so much for your time! Take care :)

Minetest is based around mods, why not just make one yourself to do just that ;)
I might be able to help with making one, I have been thinking about something similar, too.,

I saw that mobs redo has new spawners where it will spawn monsters depending on the daylight. My time in game I did not seem them spawn at all but I'm hoping for an answer as to what daylight time the minlight and maxlight #s relate to. I was hoping that those variables could actually be changed too to time of day which I think should be an easy change. There is of course minetest defense but it is GPL and that is kinda scary to me.

There was
Zombie Waves by qznc and the
Zombie Survival subgame by Dan Duncombe,
not to forget the more current
esmobs by maikerumine.

They might have some features/code that is of use. I would really like it if the old Zombie Waves mod was revived.
