== Introduction ==
''A list of things that would improve mobile compatibility''


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.


''Lou thinks just because the list is empty there is nothing left to improve. Only if he knew.''


== Extension ==
= Done =


{| class="wikitable"
* Creator dlc template needs a noresize.
!Game !! Extension
** {{Link|Spearhead_1944}}
|-
* Long command names should wrap
| {{arma1}} || .ArmAProfile
** {{Link|removeAllUserActionEventHandlers}}
|-
| {{arma2}} || .ArmA2Profile
|-
| {{arma2oa}} || .ArmA2OAProfile
|-
| {{arma3}} || .Arma3Profile
|}


== Location ==
* See also entries on command and function pages are broken
** {{Link|parsingNamespace}}


The file's location is different on each operating system:
* Command and function template layout wastes a lot of space due to the two column design


=== Windows ===
* Tables with fixed widths need to be avoided. If they are too wide use noresize class wrapper
** {{Link|Arma_3:_Visual_Upgrade}}


The default profile named after the system user can be found at:
* YouTube embeds and images should not have a fixed width
 
** {{Link|Category:DayZ}}
* XP EN: <tt>C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\My Files\ArmA</tt>
** {{Link|Spearhead_1944_Frontline_Function}}
* XP DE: <tt>C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\%UserName%\Eigene Dateien\ArmA</tt>
** It is because the youtube template has a hardcoded minimum width. This should get removed
* Vista/Win7/8/10: <tt>C:\Users\%UserName%\Documents\ArmA</tt>
 
User created profiles with a different naming are found at:
 
* XP EN: <tt>C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\My Files\ArmA Other Profiles</tt>
* XP DE: <tt>C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\%UserName%\Eigene Dateien\ArmA Other Profiles</tt>
* Vista/Win7/8/10: <tt>C:\Users\%UserName%\Documents\Arma - Other Profiles</tt>
 
==== Profile name ====
 
In there is a folder and within filename based on your profile name:
 
\ArmA\'''MyProfileName'''\'''MyProfileName'''.ArmAProfile
 
You can define the profile to be loaded with the [[Arma 2: Startup Parameters|-name]] parameter.
 
==== Define a different location ====
 
You can specify the location by using the [[Arma 3 Startup Parameters#|-profiles]] parameter.
 
For example start the server with
arma_server.exe -profiles=D:\ArmA\Users\ -name=server
 
You can find your file in
D:\ArmA\Users\server\server.armaProfile
 
=== Linux ===
 
The name depends upon the [[Arma 3 Startup Parameters#Profile Options|-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".
 
If you're not using the <tt>-name</tt> parameter, the default name "player" will be used and you'll find the Arma profile in <tt>player/player.armaprofile</tt>.
 
== Example Configuration File ==
 
The server has less values compared to a client version.

'''Since 1.58:'''<br>
One of the main changes that came with 1.58 is that the difficulty levels were transformed to true presets (Recruit, Regular, Veteran).<br>
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 <tt>CfgDifficultyPresets</tt> config class.
* Documentation of presets and data config as well as a list of the most significant changes in 1.58: [[Arma 3: Difficulty Settings]]

Mobile To-Do

A list of things that would improve mobile compatibility


Lou thinks just because the list is empty there is nothing left to improve. Only if he knew.

Done

  • Command and function template layout wastes a lot of space due to the two column design
  • Tables with fixed widths need to be avoided. If they are too wide use noresize class wrapper
