Local host server config?

[Taurus 20]

This has been mentioned several times before but I couldn't find anything when searching.

I recall being able to "default" the servername and password settings when creating a host, may it be on internet or LAN.

Now I'm getting

Taurus on Taurus

And if I want to change that I need to do so each time I host a server.

Also I recall something about a server.cfg file being hidden somewhere which i could edit, the arma profile-file doesn't cover these things.

Neither could i find anything in the Arma installation path.

Please refresh my memory.

Thanks in advance!

Ok it seems I ones again failed to make my point.

ArmA shortcut

Starts ArmA

I press "Multiplayer"

"New"

Then on the "Create Game" dialogue.

Name: <I don't want to change this every time>

Password: <I don't want to change this one either>

I already tried with the -config parameter on my Arma.exe shortcut but to no avail.

e.g.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">-config="D:\games\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\ArmA.cfg"

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">-config="ArmA.cfg"

And also without the quotation marks.

ArmA.cfg

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

password = "xyz124";

hostname="I want to see this in local host games!";

maxPlayers = 10;

motd[]= {"Welcome to Local host ArmA.","Bopp!"};

[edit]

I also tried adding the lines to my

<profile>.ArmAProfile

That didn't work either.

sorry  

connect:

create a link to your server with the params:

ArmA:_Startup_Parameters#Network_Options

host:

Quote[/b] ]D:\Games\ArmA\arma.exe -server -cfg=basic.cfg -config=server.cfg -profiles=D:\Games\ArmA\Profiles\Users\server -name=server -mod=@@Server

Do you have a basic.cfg?

sorry  

It wasn't my intention to seem angry.

Quote[/b] ]D:\Games\ArmA\arma.exe -server -cfg=basic.cfg -config=server.cfg -profiles=D:\Games\ArmA\Profiles\Users\server -name=server -mod=@@Server

the -server param would start a dedicated server, I don't want that.

I want to do this:

Last "round" when I played Arma I asked the same thing, I can't find the thread, and the answer was quite simple, but I can't remember

You cannot specify those parameters for a local server as it's really a client acting as a server, not a server with a config.
