What are gameplay settings?
Modding and customizing mission file (init.c) are very potent tools for server admins, however neither is very user friendly nor are they accessible to everyone.
Gameplay settings provide a way for server admins to tweak the game's behavior by simply modifying values inside the gameplay settings' JSON file.
Initial set-up
The gameplay settings are located in DZ\worlds\chernarusplus\ce\cfggameplay.json, before you can start using it, you need to copy this file to your mission folder.
Once there, you can freely modify any of the values inside. To enable the usage of the file, you also need to add a new parameter "enableCfgGameplayFile = 1;" to your server.cfg file.
From that point on, whenever you run the server, the cfggameplay.json will be loaded and used by the game.

ARGB Format
ARGB used in the cfgGameplay.json is read as a string due to inherent file format limitations. It consists of:
- Hexadecimal notation: 0x
- Alpha value in hexadecimal format: 00 – FF
- Red color value in hexadecimal format: 00 – FF
- Green color value in hexadecimal format: 00 – FF
- Blue color value in hexadecimal format: 00-FF
Result string looks like "0xFFFF0000" (red).
The value is not case sensitive, so it could be written in any case, or combination thereof.
