The battlefield loot option is disabled in Freelancer in Brytenwalda. It is active in other mods like 1257AD. I actually tried to reactivate the feature last year, failed, asked Idibil for help (which he graciously provided) but failed again. I gave up, forgot about it for a while, now I'm enrolled in an online Python course starting Sept. 15th. However, after thinking about it over the past year, I don't plan on activating the feature if I figure out how to do it. Getting a good weapon like a sword, decorated axe or noble shield should be very difficult in this era. As it is, these items are frequently available in stores and are easily looted when soloing Dena/Frank raiders. I find even on the hardest difficulty settings, I can gain helmet, mail, greaves, axe/sword and shield in like 2 weeks. Also, looting items like swords as a peasant or lowly warrior probably wouldn't be tolerated in this era. Such items were extremely expensive and would have been dealt out by the Lord to his followers. If you want to activate it, I'll see if I can find the missing lines of codes again. I think I have them somwhere...but you'll have to find someone else to show you how to do it.
