Profile Configs Question

[Castile 10]

So I am reading the tutorial on how to create a dedicated server. I am at the point where it tells me to go to Users folder and edit the Arma3.cfg and the username.arma3profile. I have two, one for my username, and one for system. Which one do I use? What is the difference?

When starting the server, use the -name = nameofserver parameter and it will create a new folder under Users. Edit the new config files it creates... that way you know for sure which set is the right one :p

Hey folks,

cause i cannot create a new topic this one fits for me :)

i have a question about the config file thing. I altered all possible profile files on my arma 3 server and disabled crosshair and death massages on all difficulties. but there are still crosshair and death massages and they won't go away. is there any hidden trick i am missing? :D

best regards,

ian

I see under Regular you still have 3rdPersonView = 1 - are you sure you're not starting the server on "Regular" mode instead of veteran?

Even better change the Regular settings to match Veteran exactly.

** Note that when you are in-game and reset the mission or server using the admin command #missions - it will default to Regular difficulty you will need to select Veteran before starting the mission **

Hey Savage,

thank you for your answer and help. We are playing in elite mode and I got it to work this night. The hoster of our dedicated server misspelled the classnames in the default profile. The elite difficulty is not called expert or elite. it is calles mercenary.

thank you anyway :)
