Different difficulty offsets in same cluster #1182

Open Bud987 opened 3 years ago

Bud987 commented 3 years ago

I currently run a cluster with the max difficulty of 10 (level 300). Is there a way to start an instance in the cluster with a lower difficulty (say level 150) while the rest of the cluster is still level 300? I am aware of DifficultyOffset and OverrideOfficialDifficulty, just asking if I can apply these values on a map by map basis instead of server/cluster wide?

As long as the instances are installed in different directories, it should technically be possible to use different values for these settings. As to the effects of transferring between servers with different difficulties, I don't know.

I think I found a possible workaround. It looks like you can override the GameUserSetting.ini on a per instance basis. I ended up making a second GUS.ini that's the exact same except a different Difficulty offset and pointed the started map instance to that GUS.ini
