Unable to change mission parameters on dedicated server [1.4]

[Jastreb 69]

Hi lads. I have a very strange issue here. Not sure what is causing it and how to reproduce it, but here is the problem description.

I host a dedicated server, which is downloaded on a separate machine, trough Steam client, from the tools library, so there is no Arma3 ( game ) in there, just the server package.

Steam client is not running, and I am starting a server with batch script, and all is fine there. Server starts, and is visible in server browser, and I am able to connect to it.

Now comes the problem. I login as admin with a predefined password in server.cfg, and after using #missions command to change the mission I am unable to change any parameter of it in the Parameters menu. I have no idea what the problem is here. Its like server is not registering that I am admin for the params menu?

Here is the settings.

Batch script for starting

@echo off
:start
C:\Windows\System32\tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq arma3server.exe" 2>NUL | C:\Windows\System32\find /I /N "arma3server.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" goto loop
echo Server monitored is not running, will be started now

Im not sure what is going on. Any ideas?

Update:

Well I hate it when this happens. I fixed it. Removed @asm, @mcc_sandbox_a3, and zeu_serverbriefing from -serverMods line, and removed -autoinit and -maxmem=2047 parameter from the server launch line and it works. Which one was breaking it Im not sure. Highly suspected is MCC and zeu_serverbriefing possible -autoinit also. Others should not interfere but I removed them anyway, cause I dont find any use of them.

Hope this will help someone.

I had similiar problem. But I also figured out.

 

-autoInit

Quote

Automatically initialize mission just like first client does.

Note: Server config file (server.cfg) must contain "Persistent=1;", if it's 0 autoInit skips.
Warning: This will break the Arma_3_Mission_Parameters function, so do not use it when you work with mission parameters, only default values are returned!
