In this beginners guide tutorial I discuss and show you why loot & gear sometimes doesn't spawn inside the buildings & structures you've taken from DayZ Sakhal, Livonia & Chernus & placed on other maps.
The reason why loot isn't appearing when you have added a mapgrouppos.xml entry is that there is no mapgroupproto.xml entry for the particular structure you're using - so you'll need to copy the mapgroupproto entry from mission file where the building is native to, and paste that into the mapgroupproto file of your other server map.
You also may have to do a fresh wipe of the server, or at least wait for a few re-starts before the Community Server economy picks up the new buildings and starts to fill them with items.
The above info was believed to be correct as of DayZ Update Patch 1.26, Nov 2024.
Thanks, Rob.
