What's up with Arma3 ports?

[UltimateByte]

Since only one is required and is set with start parms, then why are they into the cfg file?
And especially, why ERROR! Missing/commented ports in arma3-server.server.cfg error message even exists, since this is absolutely normal for them to be commented?

First time I'm looking into it, and I feel confused, maybe I'm missing something.
So does this guy with this error message http://steamcommunity.com/groups/linuxgsm/discussions/0/144513128846028225/

https://github.com/GameServerManagers/Game-Server-Configs/blob/master/Arma3/server.cfg#L14
https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/blob/master/Arma3/arma3server#L31
https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/blob/master/lgsm/functions/command_details.sh#L521

At first glanc,e I guess port info should come from the main port and some additions set here

Ideally parms should not be used and instead the config should be used. I recommend testing arma 3 with the port being using from the config and remove the parms port="2302"

We should only use parms if we have no choice. Make things less complicated

OK, thx, will test it right now.

So test 1) Remove port start parameter, and start with default commented config

23:44:55 Game Port: 2302, Steam Query Port: 2303
23:44:55 Initializing Steam server - Game Port: 2302, Steam Query Port: 2303
Arma 3 Console version1.66.139586  : port 2302

Test 2) Try altering config file:

// Server Port
serverport=2310;

// Steam Master Port
steamport=2320;

steamqueryport=2330;

Result:

23:47:18 Game Port: 2302, Steam Query Port: 2303
23:47:18 Initializing Steam server - Game Port: 2302, Steam Query Port: 2303
Arma 3 Console version1.66.139586  : port 2302

Arma3 don't care about ports set within config files.

Test 3) Remove anything about ports in cfg file, and try with port start parms

23:49:13 Game Port: 2330, Steam Query Port: 2331
23:49:13 Initializing Steam server - Game Port: 2330, Steam Query Port: 2331
Arma 3 Console version1.66.139586  : port 2330

Conclusion: Sadly, we have to remove port config from config file and use start parameters only.

Also, port info is broken atm.

ERROR! Missing/commented ports in arma3-server.server.cfg.

DESCRIPTION              DIRECTION  PORT  PROTOCOL
> Game                   INBOUND    2302  udp
> Steam: Query           INBOUND    udp
> Steam: Master traffic  INBOUND    udp

Will be a hotfix, since it's quite critical for ARMA IMO, and also, because we need to make sure to alter cfg file at the same time as the master commit.

Proper output:

==================================================================================================
Change ports by editing the parameters in:
arma3server

Useful port diagnostic command:
netstat -atunp | grep arma3server

DESCRIPTION              DIRECTION  PORT  PROTOCOL

> Undocumented Port      INBOUND    2305  udp

Awaiting merge.
