Setting Server Difficulty for Dummies

[Necris (DayZ) 3]

Ok... I tried ALOT!

Can some please tell me how to set the server difficulty to "expert"?

Things I did:

Edited the server.cfg

difficulty = "expert";

Changes I do in the cfg-file apply and the server uses the file (cahnged name/player slots to verify)

I played arround with ArmA2OAProfile located in:

cfgdayz\Users\DE123\DE123.ArmA2OAProfile

but changes wont apply.

Server always boots up with "Regular" difficulty.

Startup Command:

Expansion\beta\arma2oaserver.exe -mod=EXPANSION\beta;EXPANSION\beta\Expansion;EXPANSION;ca;@dayz;@hive -ip=1.2.3.4 -port=2302 -profiles=cfgdayz -config=cfgdayz\server_bdx.cfg -cfg=cfgdayz\arma2.cfg -name=DE123 -world=Chernarus -cpuCount=1 -exThreads=1 -noSound

Could some please help me?

It will boot up in default difficulty until someone joins and loads the mission and settings.

After you have set the options, load into the game and spawn,.. once spawned leave and check on your browser what your difficulty is then.

if it still is playing up - delete the profile and just start the server normally, let the server create a new profile.

Replace "expert" with "mercenary"
