I kind of wish hosts would not supply these sorts of things for 2017, it really is the opposite of what the game is about. Its fair enought that people should be able to configure there servers however they want, but players won't know the difference.
I wonder if the fact that DayZ.ST has these features as web based control (and still checked turn ON for now) if it is overwriting your code work and allowing non-legit weapons to spawn.
Like I said earlier though, people say when they found the weapons they could pick them up but they would disappear/turn invisible. (I assume because the models have been removed)
