what is BISProfile.json

[igeighty 2]

I recently upgraded my linux DS to the new apex release, and i notice a new file that is created after running the server and exiting for the first time.

 

The file name is 

Arma 3\BISProfile.json

it is located in 

/.local/share/Arma 3\BISProfile.json

It contains 

{
    "CommonValues": {
        "UnitBaseUrl": "https://units.arma3.com/unit/:groupSlug",
        "LogoBaseUrl": "https://units.arma3.com/groups/img/:groupID/"
    }
}

What is its purpose ? i cannot locate anything using google or the search engine here.

any light you can shed will be appreciated.

 

regards.

A simple google search of 'arma 3 units' spits out this: https://units.arma3.com/#?order_field=created_at&order_direction=desc&limit=9&page=1&layout=grid

 

basically it would seem that contains links to a specific unit you are in, probably so others can see it.

The links you posted point straight to a non-existant unit, which makes sense if your not in any units to begin with.

It contains 

{
    "CommonValues": {
        "UnitBaseUrl": "https://units.arma3.com/unit/:groupSlug",
        "LogoBaseUrl": "https://units.arma3.com/groups/img/:groupID/"
    }
}

 

Interesting! On our server, those values are empty. But sure as hell I will fill it in and see how/when the data pop up… in the server browser, is my guess.

The backslash does not bode well, though. Looks to me like someone forgot that on Linux, directory separator is a "/" instead of "\" … yuck. ^^
