    After watching scalespeeder gaming's video for "DayZ XML Mods: How To Spawn In Backpack Full Of Loot In Custom Locations Xbox PlayStation PC Nitrado" on youtube. I got this to work 100% on my xbox server. except I changed it all out for a blue barrel and I added all different items and my own location. however it spawned once with everything which was perfect and I took the items from the barrel and moved the barrel into my base. I then tried to spawn another blue barrel with different items and a new location and it was not successful. then I noticed a second blue barrel spawned in the original location with the original items and so I thought maybe its because there's only supposed to be one according to the files so I tried deleting the original event and original event spawn and starting fresh with a new event to spawn that blue barrel with the new list of items I wanted to spawn, in the original location I tried at first and I cant get it to spawn anymore. I destroyed the original 2 barrels i got to spawn and still nothing. please help if you know what's wrong or give advice, like I said I've tried deleting the original event with the event spawn and created a new event with that same barrel in the first location I tried and I don't know what else to try.

    Hi are you trying to spawn the backpacks with loot, trough events or types?

    i edited types, events, event spawns, and spawnable types as the video I cited instructed. I can paste or screen shot the codes for each file here if it would help determine an error in the coding but I'm pretty certain its all correct as I ran them through a code validation site and found no errors. I'm confused why it worked the first time and now it doesn't. I'm wondering if it only works after a reinstall of the server and not just a reset, I had edited the server files when I initially purchased it and uploaded the edited files followed by a reinstall to test everything I had done and it was all working the way i had the files coded and then i adjusted a few more item spawn chances such as food and tried to do another custom event spawn for a barrel with loot as i did before just with different cargo items and coordinates.

    update- i reduced the item count to be spawned in the barrel thinking it may have been more than it could hold but still no barrel

    Hi putting stuff in an barrel via spawnabletypes does not work at this moment.

    i was able to get it to work and the issue is resolved. thank you for your time i appreciate it.

    i was suggested in a discord to stop the server and reset the event by changing the active line for the barrel under events to 0 instead of 1 (this enables and disables the event), save the changes and start the server back up (might need to give it a few minutes to despawn or spawn things), shut it back down and set the active line back to 1, save changes and start the server again and it was working fine. but i think the real issue was that i wasn't stopping the server to upload files and was just uploading and hitting restart. i tested the method a few ways and concluded you must manually stop the server to upload edited files and then manually start it and just restarting with the edited files already uploaded does not work.

    I am trying to do that for myself, would you maybe send me the codes u used ?
