Edit types.xml and the loot economy

Control what spawns, how much of it and how long it lasts.

4 min read

types.xml lives in mpmissions/<your mission>/db and defines every item the central economy manages. The panel has a table editor for it so you do not have to hand-edit XML.

  • nominal — how many the server aims to have in the world.
  • min — the floor that triggers new spawns.
  • lifetime — seconds before an untouched item despawns.
  • restock — seconds before the server tries to top it back up.
  • quantmin and quantmax — for ammo and liquids, how full it spawns.
