Unable to load server difficulty profile Linux ignored

[doomnet 23]

Hi,

 

First i want to thank BI for the time wasting, and the stupidity of the difficulty changes they made !

 

Before the update 1.58 i didn't need to use server profile, as the default veteran profile was a good setting !

Now i had to use custom profile so i could enable thirdpersonview, and disable other settings.

So what the big waste of time is here my linux server won't load any profile at all !

Even my server provider is stuck with the question how to, the server ignores simply the profile!

So no need to say to me did you try this or did you tried that, as you can be sure i tried everything i could find on the internet

BI example profiles, users profiles, profiles with spaces (groupIndicators = 2;) shared custom profiles here on the forum topics, etc....

off course i used custom in config, doesn't matter won't simply work.

2 days of messing around with no fucking results, the server is now running regular difficulty as i have no choice!

 

used maybe 30 different server profile locations in startup parameter won't work !

in root folder, in profiles folder, in profiles/users folder, in other profiles folder, names as default.arma3profile, as server.arma3profile, as everything you can imagine i tried.

with lowcaps, with normal caps, with different folder permissions set to 755, with relative path, with absolute path, with only -name= or both -profiles= -name=, well i said it again nothing works.

 

so the server mission are fucked up as i only can use the builtin difficulty setting regular, so enemy spotting shit, autoreport etc.......

if any of server admins here are renting server on "energycore" provider give me your profile path, startup parameter and profile settings please.

 

Else:

 

Bohemia a simple way to configure mission difficulty settings was to put the option directly in the eden editor so each mission could have its own difficulty settings! that was the master update you could do, so each mission.sqm file goes with difficulty settings, and no more server side difficulty shit !

 

I hate you guys! stop updating this arma 3 game just go and make arma 4! because you are ruining the game !

Hi,

 

For Linux, use /.local/share/Arma3 Other Profiles (/home/armainsurgency/.local/share/Arma 3 - Other Profiles/Player for the Arma3Profile and server is on /home/armainsurgency/arma3server).

 

Change server.cfg : difficulty="Custom";

 

If you have no "-name" in your server start parameter, you must have :

 

.../.local/share/Arma3 Other Profiles/Player/Player.Arma3Profile.

 

Il you use "-name=toto" you must have :

 

.../.local/share/Arma3 Other Profiles/toto/toto.Arma3Profile.

 

With this code for example :

 

class DifficultyPresets
{
    class CustomDifficulty
    {
        class Options
        {
            groupIndicators=2;
            friendlyTags=2;
            enemyTags=0;
            detectedMines=0;
            commands=2;
            waypoints=2;
            weaponInfo=2;
            stanceIndicator=2;
            reducedDamage=0;
            staminaBar=0;
            weaponCrosshair=0;
            visionAid=0;
            thirdPersonView=1;
            cameraShake=1;
            scoreTable=1;
            deathMessages=1;
            vonID=1;
            mapContent=0;
            autoReport=0;
            multipleSaves=1;
        };
        aiLevelPreset=3;
    };
    class CustomAILevel
    {
        skillAI=1;
        precisionAI=1;
    };
};

Sorry for my bad english langage

Well i don't understand this, i don't have /.local/share/ path or folders

i have /home/ftp_user/port/ where in this is the root arma 3 server folder

 

the linux server is by a provider so i don't have the same folders as you

i don't have local/share folders.

 

So i don't understand your path settings

My Server Ignoierd too and its Linux too.

 

My Configs the Basic.cfg the server.Arma3Profil and the server.cfg are in the Same folder /home/arma/arma3 -> here its all Installed from Arma3.

Hi,

 

We are on a dedicated server, not a provider.

 

Since 1.58 the old method with Arma3Profile in server folder does not work.

Hi,

 

We are on a dedicated server, not a provider.

 

Since 1.58 the old method with Arma3Profile in server folder does not work.

 

~/.local/share/Arma 3 - Other Profiles/yourprofilename/yourprofilename.Arma3Profile is the file read. Make sure that you set it to be executable with chmod +x or it doesn't seem to work right.

[doomnet 23]

This does not work for me as i have no local or share folders, even i created them does not change anything, but i'm not sure where do i have to create it:

 

this is my arma 3 root folder i have by the provider :

 

/steam   ===> all the steam shit for the server

/23234  ===> the root folder of the arma3 server

Arma3.cfg

 

so that means, my home folder is /home/ftp_user/23234/arma3 server folder

i tried to create share folder in the root folder of provider like this

 

/steam

/23234

/share/Arma - Other Profiles/Player/Player.Arma3Profile

 

Also in the root folder of the server same result no profile is loaded

 

/steam

/23234/share/Arma - Other Profiles/Player/Player.Arma3Profile

[doomnet 23]

ok its fixed for me now

 

i had to make this folder

in the root ftp of my server .local

[john85oc 28]

Understand i it right?

 

I need to make a new folder?

 

like /home/arma/arma3/Arma 3 - Other Profiles/server/server.Arma3Profile ???

 

or need i like this .local/share/Arma 3 - Other Profiles/server/server.Arma3Profile but that need i to creating with the Main Root account then my Arma3 folder and account have only there access!

That is a far worse idea than updating the difficulty settings without proper documentation...It forces you down one very narrow path, at least with the (still restricted) difficulty setup as it is now, you can change it without having to upload several versions of the same mission...

I didn't have a .local/shared in my home folder. I had to create those and then the Arma 3 and Arma 3 - Other Profiles folders and various files populated properly. Also, (i'm a linux newb) .local wasn't appearing via a regular 'ls' - I'm guessing a . preceding the rest of the name for a folder is a quick way of making something 'hidden'. I had to specify the flag for 'ls' that would return hidden files and I had to modify WinSCP to show hidden files as well. Just an FYI. Running on Ubuntu.

[john85oc 28]

Soo... I have try this.

 

My Linux server Ignoerd still. and guys checked this.

 

I Removd for a test the file "arma3profil" and starting my server in the server.cfg i remove "difficulty" so that i can cange this on server. My Server can just only "Normal" etc but all any setting i make will be Ignoered....

 

Why can bi this problems not fixing or really testing?

Just go to your root folder of your ftp /home (NOT arma3 server folder)

 

create .local/share/Arma 3 - Other Profiles/Player/Player.Arma3Profile (local folder has to have a dot before like this ".local")

 

do a chmod of your folders and subfolders and files (777) 

 

in server.cfg change your difficulty setting to "Custom"

 

Use this profile as example:

class DifficultyPresets
{
    class CustomDifficulty
    {
        class Options
        {
            groupIndicators = 2;
            friendlyTags = 2;
            enemyTags = 0;
            detectedMines = 0;
            commands = 0;
            waypoints = 0;
            weaponInfo = 2;
            stanceIndicator = 2;
            reducedDamage = 0;
            staminaBar = 0;
            weaponCrosshair = 0;
            visionAid = 0;
            thirdPersonView = 1;
            cameraShake = 1;
            scoreTable = 1;
            deathMessages = 1;
            vonID = 1;
            mapContent = 0;
            autoReport = 0;
            multipleSaves = 1;
        };
        aiLevelPreset = 3;
    };
    class CustomAILevel
    {
        skillAI = 1;
        precisionAI = 1;
    };
};

Worked for me !
