Server.cfg Difficulty

[khaosmatical 237]

Hi there, after recently getting a dedicated server, I have found problems trying to disable 3rd person and death messages. On the listening servers it was easy but I cannot figure out where to do it for the dedicated. I would imagine it would be in the server.cfg but I tried adding

deathmessages=0;

but it did not work as was wondering if someone could help me out trying to disable those features.

Thanks

Hi deathmessages will be in the server.Arma3Profile

see here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.armaprofile

[khaosmatical 237]

It has no mention of ARMA 3 however? I have looked at that page before and wondered whether or not I could just use the same from ARMA 2.

Its the same, its an article that covers all the games, where it says:

Naming

ArmA: .ArmAProfile

ArmA II: .ArmA2Profile

Arrowhead: .ArmA2OAProfile

Arma III: .Arma3Profile

but for example, i rent a gameserver for my buddy and I, and the server.Arma3Profile is located here:

/IP # port #/Users/server

server.Arma3Profile

on my ftp, if you compare notes when you opn up the profile with the arma2CO version its basically the same setup.

As for the profile itself:

version=1;

viewDistance=3000;
preferredObjectViewDistance=3000;
terrainGrid=12.5;
activeKeys[]=

difficulty="veteran";

the two lines i highlighted in blue are the codes you want, of course depending on what difficulty level you prefer, regular is default.

The only thing I'm confused about is in the .Arma3Profile it only has:

version=1;

blood=1;

volumeCD=5;

volumeFX=5;

volumeSpeech=5;

singleVoice=0;

gamma=1;

brightness=1;
