Added: Ability to force difficulty for selected scenarios

[BL1P 35]

taken from changelog http://dev.arma3.com/post/spotrep-00029

Does anyone have any information on how to use this in mission design ?

I would be interested in this too.

from configs

class ForcedMissionDifficulty
{
access = 2;
class Mission1
{
	missionName = "A3\Missions_F_Bootcamp\Campaign\missions\BOOT_m01.VR\";
	difficulty = "Regular";
};
class Mission2
{
	missionName = "A3\Missions_F_Bootcamp\Campaign\missions\BOOT_m02.Altis\";
	difficulty = "Regular";
};
class Mission3
{
	missionName = "A3\Missions_F_Bootcamp\Campaign\missions\BOOT_m03.Altis\";
	difficulty = "Regular";
};
class Mission4
{
	missionName = "A3\Missions_F_Bootcamp\Campaign\missions\BOOT_m04.Altis\";
	difficulty = "Regular";
};
class Mission5
{
	missionName = "A3\Missions_F_Bootcamp\Campaign\missions\BOOT_m05.Altis\";
	difficulty = "Regular";
};
};

Unfortunately pretty bad approach imo (should be a mission and server setting).

I doubt that works for MP at all, but give it a try.

Thanks Kju

but now I am confused... well more than normal anyway :)

I was thinking maybe this was something its not.

I was hoping that this was a way for the mission creator to specify at which difficulty lvl he wanted the mission to be played at ?

This looks very similar to the already in place server setting of :-

class Missions
{
class Mission_1
{
	template = "Mymission.Stratis";
	difficulty = "mercenary";
};
};

which we already use on our server.

EDIT : Hmmm upon reflection I guess this, if placed on the server would mean that even if you select the mission via the #missions screen and select regular, it will default back to whatever you have set "difficulty =" at

An Example ?

class ForcedMissionDifficulty
{
access = 2;
class Mission1
{
	missionName = "Mymission.Stratis";
	difficulty = "mercenary";
};

       class Mission2
{
	missionName = "Mymission4Noobs.Stratis";
	difficulty = "regular";
};
};

Yer ill give it a try thanks Kju.

well what you mean is in the server.cfg and not a config. hence why i supposed it doesnt work there, nor is the config applied to MP in any way

Yer you are right what I posted doesn't work just tried it.
