Server Difficulty not correct?

[meta87 25]

Just setup my servers and have had the config file set to "veteran" and "expert". But when I connect it is on regular (with xhair and map location, and all that junk).

Also I did not see any options to edit for chat on/off, 3DP on/off, or time zone other than those in the server name (is it just set by server name somehow)?

Anyone have any ideas?

US 355 & US 356

Still unable to get this issue fixed. Replies on tickets are vague or link to old information.

What files need to be edited to get the server to properly start the mission in expert?

Currently I have the cfg file with the mission file and server name also set to "expert" but it launches in regular mode.

I even tried changing the settings file for the difficulties so that ALL difficulties are the same settings as experts.

Nothing is working...

If you have any information on what is needed to get the server to start in different difficulties please PM me or submit a reply with details.

Thanks!

Hi Meta,

I had same issues yesterday but I cracked it up in the end.

Point is you have to have dayz.ArmaA2OAProfile file on the server. It should look like this:

class Difficulties

{

class Veteran

{

class Flags

{

3rdPersonView = 1;

armor = 1;// Cannot be changed

autoAim = 0;// Cannot be changed

autoGuideAT = 0;// Cannot be changed

autoSpot = 0;// Cannot be changed

cameraShake = 1;

clockIndicator = 0;

deathMessages = 1;

enemyTag = 0;// Cannot be changed

friendlyTag = 0;// Cannot be changed

hud = 1;

hudGroupInfo = 0;

hudPerm = 0;// Cannot be changed

hudWp = 1;

hudWpPerm = 0;// Cannot be changed

map = 0;

netStats = 1;

tracers = 1;// Cannot be changed

ultraAI = 0;

unlimitedSaves = 0;

vonId = 0;

weaponCursor = 0;

};

skillFriendly = 1;

precisionFriendly = 1;

skillEnemy = 0.9;

precisionEnemy = 0.75;

};

};

Ofc, set values by your needs (class Expert - not Veteran, etc). And you have to set Expert difficulty in server.cfg.

Will look into this, I had found that file once before and it had all the difficulties listed in the file, i changed all of them to match what I wanted expert to be but they still revert back to stock.

I can't seem to find the file again that contained the code similar to what you linked above.

Also for some reason I am having issues with rcon and not being able to send admin messages to the server (for restarts etc)...

I play on US 355...Sure am glad I googled it. I thought the server might have gone away! This is just temporary downtime right?

Correct.

Keep in mind some settings cannot be modified and if you do, I believe they revert. There's a list of the line items that cannot be changed per difficulty somewhere on the arma2 wiki.
