Are difficulty settings available at the mission level?

[Luft08 27]

Can I set difficultly settings from the init.sqf file or are they only available at the server level? Settings like seeing land mines, 3rd person view, etc.

 

I'm running a dedicated server for a group of friends. Does each mission require the same difficulty levels or can each mission set its own? 

 

Thanks.

A mission can set its own difficulty that is if it has the option to in the MP parameters.

If there are no difficulty parameters to choose, then the difficulty is set through the server.armaprofile which you can define what gameplay functions you want,

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

 

  Just a note here, and i did this myself when i had rented a server, and just actually just told one of my friends this

was if you setup the profile say for custom settings, and the difficulty or the settings dont change and stay on a default setting 

then add the following code to the server.cfg

// Server Difficulty Override
forcedDifficulty = "custom";

it will force the server to run your settings.

This depends on the mission if it has an option to change the difficulty to begin with, if it dont you could alternatively add it in yourself through the description.ext

if its your mission or another, either way it will add it to the MP parameters in the lobby prior to mission start.
