Item despawn suggestion/feature request.

[Zelf]

If I plan to create a server is there a way to make the rare guns never to despawn, and/or items dropped by people disappear slower, so one could regain their weapons or at least someone else could take it?
I guess the cause of disappearing items is because this way servers don't waste their resources and not because it makes the gameplay better, and since there are not that much rare guns on the ground at the same time I think it wouldn't cause performance problems.

JackMayol: If it's possible and you feel my following request is reasonable can you please make it default on official servers?

P.S.: Is there a way to mark the rare guns dropped by humans (like: PlayerName's P90) so one would know it was someone else's weapon. If people could tag their guns that would be an awesome alternative.

Thank you for reading!

a usually weapon/item is set to despawn after 45 seconds, and 90 seconds for a rare weapon. As for vanilla this is more than enough. Raising the despawn time in general would make the ground flooded with weapons, which would affect the performance at the same time, of course.

If you want to host your own server you could just adjust the time_to_live_out_in_the_open value of media\packages\vanilla\weapons\base_primary_rare.weapon to something more than "90" if you want to make them despawn slower.

As for your postscript question, no it's not supported.
