All the buildings and tents are built into the zone in the zone file the client has. The only way to add them is to use one of the zone creation programs in the third party tools forum to build a custom zone and distribute it to all the players on the server.

I have to add that tent / building can be either an object or a zone mesh, basically, all buildings post luclin are object and all buildings pre luclin are zone mesh. When new luclin engine came out, SOE decided to use more objects in zone, to reduce FPS i guess, and the good thing is it reduce considerably the time needed to build a zone, since you only have to do the ground mesh and then add all the objects (Tree, Buildings, Beds, Rocks, ...).

Actually anything within the objects file for the zone can be fudged into the zone by adding it in the doors table. This is the same way sony added the LDON tents and flags to the exsisting zones. Anything within the obj file can be added as a door but you can't add anything not in the zone's obj file it seems (other than global objects but the only global object seems to be the pok books)..

I'll also add that tweaking things to get them in the right position is a royal pain in the arse.. Haven't played around with it for a while but back in May I was able to spawn a campfire, tents and crates to a base camp in one of the corners of Gfay.
