diag_mergeConfigFile - Making changes to lighting

[Gudsawn 93]

When using diag_mergeConfigFile to make changes to lighting values (e.g. DayLightingBrightAlmost or HDRNewPars), the changes are not applied (even after a mission restart). The config viewer shows that the values are in fact being updated (whenever I use diag_mergeConfigFile), but not applied.

Does changing configs on-the-fly not work with the lighting engine?

I've tried that.

I've found that with changing ammo values in CfgAmmo and rvmat/bisurfs.

Still need to restart game. I understand that should be the case for the model stuff (like rvmats), but config values update in the config browser, but no changes are made in game until restart.
