Disabling 3rd person on a server

Recommended Posts

Hello, before you ask ... yes I have done a search tounge2.gif

But I was wondering how I can disable 3rd person on our Public Server?

Its mainly to stop people getting an advantage in CTF and DM games, but I want to try it out.

Do I have to put a line of code in the cfg file?

Thanks smile_o.gif

open my docs then go to Arma folder open the user.ArmAProfile file with notepad go down to class veteran and find  3rdPersonView=1; this will shut off 3rd person for Vet mode not cadet.

change to 3rdPersonView=0; then do the same for the other .armaprofile file in the ArmA Other Profiles folder

The server needs to have a profile for this. You must put "-profile=server" into the server's startup line. This will force the server to create a user profile called server in your My Documents folder. The simplest thing to do then, would be to deactivate 3rd person view your main player profile and then copy that profile into the server's profile folder, delete the old server profile and then rename the new one to Server.
