Disabling "player killed" message in multiplayer

[zanlow 1]

How would I go about disabling the messages "player x has been killed" or "player x has been killed by player y" from appearing in the multiplayer mission that I created?

I believe that is a server side message, if you adjust the difficulty player settings in your My Documents\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\UserName\username.ArmA2OAProfile

DeathMessages=1 to 0 would stop the messages.

would that also prevent other players from seeing it as well ?

I think that it might take your settings when you host the multiplayer game. Not sure as I've only really worked with dedicated servers so far but give it a try and edit one of the difficulty settings (eg Regular) see what happens ;-)

Alright then, thank you for the help. Will post back to say if it works or not.

Disabling the system channel in description.ext will also do this I think. You won't see people connecting/disconnecting either tho.

Nice Cuel, didn't notice that new option since 1.62. oh that's really useful one! I hated the connect/disconnect message mid game - especially when recording footage ;-)

You can specify that in profile file: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.armaprofile - search for "deathMessages"
