Question about Parameters.
Hey!

I'm in love with your mod so far, between the map and this game mod this is changing Arma for me in a big way!

I have run into a bit of a road block trying to set up a dedicated server for my unit (I'm new to server hosting, the usual admins have too much on their plates already), and I have it working well enough now after a few(hundred) attempts with my config file. Basicly just have one issue left!

I would really like to be able to set the parameters, specifically the need to rank up and the day/night lenghts, from my config file (or in any other way that can remain after a server restart). The idea is to keep the server up 24/7ish to give the guys something to do when not in-op, but right now it needs a fair big of manual management. Would love to be able to set it to auto-restart every 8 hours and just forget about it till something goes wrong.

Anyway, I found a way I think might do it to set params via the mission whitelist, but I'm just too dumb to know how exactly to figure out what values to use with this mod...


Halp?

Try to redownload the mission file. might the file you downloaded is corrupted where there's an error with params.hpp and misionConfig.hpp files.

server.cfg example:
class Missions { class mission1 { template = "vn_mf_latest.cam_lao_nam"; // Server difficulty Settings (Recruit, Regular, Veteran, Mercenary, Custom) difficulty = "Custom"; class Params { dawn_length = 600; day_length = 10800; dusk_length = 600; night_length = 600; }; }; };

Hello, Currently trying to set up Mike force on Host Havoc. Where can I find the names for the Parameters so I can change them? I am unable to change them while in the server, so Id have to change them in the config.

The easiest way without a PBO extractor is to go into the parameters menu while in the lobby, and hover over the parameter value rows (the ones that have a value to the right) and their name will be there.

The problem is you will be missing the _acceptable values_ for those different parameters, as it is a list of accepted values you can put there, or it will use the default instead. Meaning if 1000 isn't a valid value, and the default is 10, it will be 10 when the server starts.

You can take a look at the github source code (search for "savage mike force github" on your favorite engine) and look for the params.hpp file that has all the parameter string names in it and their accepted values. Then look in the string tables for the string name if it isn't obvious what value the parameter changes. I strongly suggest getting a PBO tool like PBO Manager if you're going to host an Arma server - not only for things like this, but if you need to add a startup script or change a default configuration value in the mission file.. things like that.

Also, you can set them in game, if you are the admin. use `#login` and then `#reassign` (without the tick quotes); it will not wipe your save (unless you set the parameter to do so!), and you can then click "Parameters" in the top right corner while in the lobby (the reassign command sends everyone there), and you'll find you have an "edit" button now.
