I've always found this feature annoying. Why would I drop everything I have in water? Fair enough if I am carrying so much that it is dragging me down but small things, come on!

Is "description.ext" client side or server side?

If it is client side can someone post its location?

its a per-mission file, where you put the description you see when the mission loads .. the "tally ho! pip pip!" bit, as well as other bits smile

That makes sense. Once we get a cumulative patch that everyone will run, the mission designer can decide if he wants players swimming all over the map with their gear. BIS is really good about adding options without forcing players or groups to use them.

which is why i love BIS, dispite the fact that things may be a bit buggy, they make up for it (in my opinion) by making just about everything user-controlled winner
