Arma 3: Server Profile

{Table/A3ServerSetup}

This article deals with the server.Arma3Profile.

Location

Windows

The default profile named after the system user can be found at: C:\Users\%UserName%\Documents\Arma 3

User created profiles with a different naming are found at: C:\Users\%UserName%\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles

Profile name: You can define the profile to be loaded with the -name parameter.

Custom Location: You can specify the location by using the -profiles parameter.

Linux

The name depends upon the -name parameter when starting the Arma 3 server. Having started the server with "./server -name=server" (-profiles seems to be useless on Linux) you'll find it as a subfolder of your arma-server directory, for example "/usr/home/arma-server/server/server.armaprofile".

If you're not using the -name parameter, the default name "player" will be used and you'll find the Arma 3 profile in player/player.armaprofile.

Example Configuration File

With Arma 3 v1.58 the difficulty levels were transformed to true presets (Recruit, Regular, Veteran). Each preset has exactly defined value for each difficulty option. If any of the options doesn't match the preset, the preset is changed to Custom. The particular flags stored in profile are only for the Custom preset, since Recruit, Regular and Veteran are fixed ones and predefined in game's data in CfgDifficultyPresets config class.
