startup parameter -user / - profile

Recommended Posts

I been searching and searching and searching after I was told that it was possible to move the "MPMissionCache" and profile to the ArmA directory.

I found the -profile startup parameter but have been told that you would want to use it with -user. I can't find any reference to -user in the wiki or here on the forum. Somebody said that there was a topic about how to do this and suma had replied to it explaining it.

If anybody had that link he would make me quite happy...thanks!

You need everything there, it'll automatically create what you forgot wink_o.gif

/edit: Saw your post at arma-game.de: You don't have to put the -name thingy there, it is only that it loads a specific user and its options. I have two users, one with very low settings for testing (in windowed mode) and one with normal settings for playing (full screen).

I am starting ArmA with the profile parameter, and my settings, SP-missions and scripts are read from the correct location (c:\games\arma\profiles\kronzky), but the MP-missions are still read from c:\games\arma\mpmissions (at least if I try to host a game myself, then the missions in that folder are all that is available for a new game).

The downloaded ones though ended up in c:\games\arma\profiles\mpmissionscache.

I that how it's supposed to be? I was under the impression that I would be able to merge all those MP-folders into one...
