How to disable 3rd person on a 1.05 server

[ANTH 0]

Hi can anyone tell me how I can disable 3rd on a server pls

On our server we in the main structure Users/Server.ArmAProfile

The code in the profile is as follows

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">// Default Server profile for Armed Assault

// Comments by sir_hC

// Only these settings are of interest for MP servers. All other settings are redundant.

difficulty="veteran"; // Sets which one of the difficulty levels below should be used

class Difficulties {

class regular { // Also called/displayed as Cadet

class Flags {

// These are the settings. Set a value to 0 to disable the feature, or set it to 1 to enable it.

Armor=0; // Gives you improved body armor, tank armor etc

FriendlyTag=0; // Displays information on friendly units

EnemyTag=0; // Displays information on enemy units

HUD=1; // Shows you leaders location and your position in formation

HUDPerm=0; // Shows HUD permanently

HUDWp=1; // Shows Waypoints right after they're ordered to you

HUDWpPerm=1; // Shows Waypoints permanently

WeaponCursor=1; // Shows the crosshair for your weapon

AutoAim=0; // Enables auto aim when you're not looking through your weapon's scope. Also works with crosshair off

AutoGuideAT=0; // AT missiles will be automatically guided to their target. If 0, player has to lock onto the target.

3rdPersonView=0; // This turns 3rd(third) person view and group leader view on or off. Please never talk of this as "3D view" - ArmA is not an arcade game !

ClockIndicator=0; // Displays the clock indicator on the left of your screen when giving/receiving orders like "At 11 o'clock, eemy man at 200 meters"

Map=0; // Shows symbols for all objects known to your gruop on the map. This will NOT disable the map itself !

Tracers=1; // Displays tracers even of small arms that in real life would not have tracers

AutoSpot=0; // If you're close enough to an enemy, you'll report it without right-clicking

UltraAI=0; // Enables some kind of super AI that hears and sses more and has better tactics. This is for both friendly and enemy sides.

UnlimitedSaves=0; // Enables saing permanently. For single player missions. But you then can only load the last save state.

};

// These are the skills. Value may range from 0.000000 to 1.000000

skillFriendly=0.850000; // Friendly tactics skill

skillEnemy=0.850000; // Enemy tactics skill

precisionFriendly=0.850000; // Friendly shooting precision

precisionEnemy=0.850000; // Enemy shooting precision

};

class veteran { // Most of the options from above are not available.

// Also soldiers/vehicles die sooner upon damage.

class Flags {

HUD=1; // Shows you leaders location and your position in formation

HUDWp=1; // Shows Waypoints right after they're ordered to you

HUDWpPerm=1; // Shows Waypoints permanently

WeaponCursor=0; // Shows the crosshair for your weapon

ClockIndicator=0; // Displays the clock indicator on the left of your screen when giving/receiving orders like "At 11 o'clock, eemy man at 200 meters"

3rdPersonView=0; // This turns 3rd(third) person view and group leader view on or off. Please never talk of this as "3D view" - ArmA is not an arcade game !

Tracers=1; // Displays tracers even of small arms that in real life would not have tracers

UltraAI=0; // Enables some kind of super AI that hears and sses more and has better tactics. This is for both friendly and enemy sides.

};

// These are the skills. Value may range from 0.000000 to 1.000000

skillFriendly=0.850000;

skillEnemy=0.850000;

precisionFriendly=0.850000;

precisionEnemy=0.850000;

};

};

Now is this the correct place for it and is the code correct any help pls ?

Looking at the line in your server file, it looks as though you have it set correctly. That's the way I have mine set. 0 is off, 1 is one.

Quote[/b] ]3rdPersonView=0; // This turns 3rd(third) person view and group leader view on or off. Please never talk of this as "3D view" - ArmA is not an arcade

[ANTH 0]

Yes looks correct to me also but it don't work just wondering if its in the wrong place or wrong folder I just don't know.

[super64 0]

Yes looks correct to me also but it don't work just wondering if its in the wrong place or wrong folder I just don't know.

Yeah my next guess would be your server isnt actually using that file. What folder is it saved in?

[ANTH 0]

I created a folder called users and then put the profile in that.

Hi can anyone tell me how I can disable 3rd on a server pls

Why would you even want to? Everyone knows Bohemia interactive cant make good 1st person shooters.

[ANTH 0]

Oh really well I think your in the wrong topic to be telling me that, Maybe make a new topic for that m8.

Thanks

Well, it's not because you cannot play without it doesn't mean other people should. I for once sometimes like it, as it's much harder and gives you a different experience mostly when driving/flying vehicles.

Are you sure the file is being loaded? I thought you had to put the config file in the link when starting the server.

Sorry kode you will have to explain that a little more for me, but your right its not working

[ADO_Lesicilien 0]

your file is correct but if your server functions with version 1.5 you must put your profiles in \ Users \ Users \ server-vet \

Server-vet is that I took again tutos:

Tutos

Afflicted for my English but I translate all which I write

[RN Escobar 0]

you might just need to add

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">-name=server

into the command line so the server app knows to use the server profile that u have written for it

this is how we run ours and the others that we host.

don't know if u allready have this or not, but i think you need it.

if it don't work PM me, i have setup several servers all whith 3rd disabled in vet

I am sitting here with the same problem.

I created a user folder inside my arma folder. In it I added a arma.cfg and a.profile with all setting for server I want to use (like the topic starter posted in 1st post).

In my arma shortcut I added the folowing:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">-profiles=J:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\user

Now, nothing happens with the server, its just using default settings.

I disabled 3rd person, disabled friendly tags and disabled map. But none of those options show correct.

I have tried both difficulty settings, but none of them is actually using the profile I made. To be sure I did set "0" and "1" correct I changed the numbers as well, still without any change.

My server just keeps using the default settings and not my profile settings.

Anyone can explain what I am doing wrong here?

ohh in case you think I didnt, I have followed the above posted tutorial...........no luck

[Thunder--TC-- 0]

i am also drawing a blank on this with my remote server.

[Guest]

In my arma shortcut I added the folowing:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">-profiles=J:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\user

Ok I have done some more testing and finally saw the server was actually trying to get the profile.

However it seems to be it just refuses to use the profile I want it to you.

When the server decided looking in the folder I wanted it to look in was worth a try I did notice something new.

It creates his own folder called "users" inside the folder I pointed it to (in my case this meant I have like <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">J:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\user\public\user\system now LOL).

Inside that folder the server creates a new arma.cfg and a new arma.profile.

I tried to fix this without luck.

So right now I just edited the file the server creates himself and added my own server settings to it.

I saved it, I started the server again and now its working like I want it to.

Its a pain but it works.

Cant imagine what I have to do when I want to start running 2 servers  

Anyway.......check the server arma folder (where your "-profiles" is pointing to. In the folder itself it might create an additionally users folder and in that one it will create new arma.cfg and arma.profile.

Edit this profile with your own settings.

I am sure the problem is with me, but I just cant figure out what I am doing wrong, but anyway, it works now

[RN Escobar 0]

the -name switch, gives the server a name, much like a player name has their own settings, so can a server.

once u give the server a name it should use the settings from the name.ArmAProfile.

this profile can be placed in any folder that u desire, u just need to use the -profiles switch to set which folder that is.

Any help would be more than  

[FAF_DRAKO 1]

You do not turn off the 3rd Person View for a Dedicated Server through the Config File.

You do it in the ArmAProfile.

Hope this helps

[(FPC) Bacon 0]

Have had a look and can't find 1 just called ArmAProfile Thanks for the feedback.

[FAF_DRAKO 1]

It will be under the ArmA Folder in My Documents. It will have the main computer users name or if a Remote Dedicated Server... it would be called Administrator.

[(FPC) Bacon 0]

Have had a look at folders in our server control panel and in the user folder i have the following.

1,Administrator with this file armacfg

language="English";

adapter=-1;

3D_Performance=8721.000000;

Resolution_W=800;

Resolution_H=600;

Resolution_Bpp=32;

2,Dirty armaprofile,

3fpc armaprofile,

So would i be actually missing a folder?

Thanks DRAKO_MDS for help

[FAF_DRAKO 1]

You need to make sure to launch the Dedicated Server at least once before looking for any folder. After the Initial Launch the game will create an ArmA Folder in My Documents. In this folder you should have two files. One of them should look something like this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">version=2;

blood=2;

viewDistance=3000;

volumeCD=7;

volumeFX=7;

volumeSpeech=7;

singleVoice=0;

playerVoice=0;

gamma=1.000000;

If you want to setup new conditions as I have in our server for both Regular and Veteran your file should look something like this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">version=2;

Notice that both my Regular and Veteran are Modified. They both have No Extended Armor, No Enemy Tags, No Auto Spot Enemy, No Auto Guided AT, and No Auto Aim.

The only Difference between the two of them is That Veteran has No Map Assist and No 3rd Person View. Unfortunately there's a slight bug with turning off the Map. If you turn it off the Friendly Tags will stop working. Not sure why and I hope this is fixed on next Patch maybe. I should report this...LOL

Hope this Helps you guys...

I found the file put it in but as of yet it's still no good i think it there game panel thats kicking it back to 3rd enable if restarted.

Thanks DRAKO_MDS

[Auss 208]

It uses the default users profile( this is a hidden folder), simply a case of making changes to those files if u wish to disable 3rd person
