When restarting a mission (e.g. #restart command or a game mode with auto reload enabled), the mission header settings in the server config JSON get ignored.

Since this hasn't been tested yet, I'll take the liberty to provide a more detailed repro. I created and published a test mod with the ID 5EAC510A8E6EC623, which contains the following code and in essence defines a new variable for the mission header and its value is written in the chat for all clients:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
modded class SCR_MissionHeader : MissionHeader
{
[Attribute(defvalue: "11", desc: "My mission header variable")]
int m_iMHT_myVariable;
};
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
modded class SCR_BaseGameMode : BaseGameMode
{
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//! Schedule printing of my header variable
override protected void OnGameStart()
{
super.OnGameStart();
if (!Replication.IsServer())
return;
GetGame().GetCallqueue().CallLater(MHT_PrintMyVariable, 1000, true);
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//! Broadcast and print my variable to all clients
protected void MHT_PrintMyVariable()
{
SCR_MissionHeader header = SCR_MissionHeader.Cast(GetGame().GetMissionHeader());
if (!header)
return;
Rpc(MHT_PrintInChatBroadcast, header.m_iMHT_myVariable.ToString());
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//! Print chat message for all clients
[RplRpc(RplChannel.Unreliable, RplRcver.Broadcast)]
protected void MHT_PrintInChatBroadcast(string message)
{
PlayerController ctrl = GetGame().GetPlayerController();
if (!ctrl)
return;
SCR_ChatComponent.Cast(ctrl.FindComponent(SCR_ChatComponent)).ShowMessage(message);
}
}And I have the following configuration for my dedicated server:
{
"bindAddress": "",
"bindPort": 2001,
"publicAddress": "",
"publicPort": 2001,
"game": {
"name": "Kex's Mission Header Test",
"passwordAdmin": "pw",
"scenarioId": "{83D06A42096F671C}Missions/MpTest/10_MpTest.conf",
"maxPlayers": 10,
"gameProperties": {
"missionHeader": {
"m_iMHT_myVariable": 7
}
},
"mods": [
{
"modId": "5EAC510A8E6EC623",
"name": "Mission Header Test"
}
]
}
}The expected behavior is that if you connect to the server, you should see 7 printed in the chat. This is initially indeed the case, however if you execute #login pw followed by #login restart, you will see that 11 will be printed after the restart. I hope this helps resolving the issue.
