Introduction
This article deals with the server.armaprofile, describing all the visual and difficulty settings in ArmA, like friendly and enemy AI quality, HUD, crosshair, 3rd person view, clock indicator and so on.
Location
Depending upon the operating system this file is located somewhere else
Windows
By default, the file can be found under "C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\My Files\ArmA" or "C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\My Files\ArmA\Other Profiles". The folder and filename depend upon the -name parameter. If you have used the -profiles parameter, the .armaprofile file is located where you specified. If the files don't exist at startup, they will be created. Having started the server with "armaserver -profiles=d:\ArmA\Users\ -name=server" you can find your file in "D:\ArmA\Users\server\server.armaprofile"
Linux
The name depends upon the -name parameter when starting the arma 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".
Example Configuration File
Annotation: Since 1.05 there are five more options available. Updates will follow as soon as their influence on the game is known.
