Loot heatmap

How to use Loot heatmap?

mapgrouppos.xml (in the mission folder) lists the position of each building group on the map; combined with mapgroupproto.xml, it decides where loot can spawn. This heatmap shows where it concentrates, useful to balance military zones or spot loot deserts.

1. 1

   Load mapgrouppos.xml (in the mission root, e.g. mpmissions/dayzOffline.chernarusplus/).

2. 2

   Pick the map (Chernarus+ 15,360 m, Livonia 12,800 m) or enter the size in metres for a custom map.

3. 3

   Adjust the cell size to smooth or detail the density.

4. 4

   Filter by building name, or load mapgroupproto.xml to filter by usage.

5. 5

   Export the image as PNG to share it with your team.
