[ONoSixIsDown]

is there a tutorial that explains what needs to be done to be able to select weapons in the gear selection of the briefing before the mission starts?

i've done alot of searching but havn't any luck yet...  any suggestions?

You will need a description.ext file for that.

Here is the part of the description.ext file in my mission that deals with this:

class Magazines
{
   class AK74
   {
      count = 12;
   };
   class GrenadeLauncher
   {
      count = 3;
   };
   class PK
   {
      count = 5;
   };
   class RPGLauncher
   {
      count = 3;
   };
   class AT4Launcher
   {
      count = 1;
   };
   class Mine
   {
      count = 2;
   };
   class Pipebomb
   {
      count = 2;
   };
   class Tokarevmag
   {
      count = 24;
   };
   class 6G30Magazine
   {
      count = 2;
   };
};
class Weapons
{
   class AK74
   {
      count = 3;
   };
   class AK74SU
   {
      count = 1;
   };
 Â Â Â class AK74GrenadeLauncher
   {
      count = 1;
   };
   class PK
   {
      count = 1;
   };
   class RPGLauncher
   {
      count = 1;
   };
   class AT4Launcher
   {
      count = 1;
   };
   class Tokarev
   {
      count = 6;
   };
   class 6G30
   {
      count = 1;
   };
};

the 'class WeaponName/MagazineName' is the name of the weapon or magazine you want to add.  The 'count = n' is how many you want.

EDIT:
Here is a good description.ext tutorial for you.

Grab the Tutorial Mission from the Ed Depot.    Play it then take it to bits, both in the mission editor and ... well literally.   It has templates for all the standard files that you need for a good basic mission.
