Unused mission headers?

[hafometh88]

Describe the bug
I was wondering, what is the purpose of setting these in the config:

"missionHeader": {
	"m_iPlayerCount": 40,
	"m_eEditableGameFlags": 6,
	"m_eDefaultGameFlags": 6
}

Expected behavior
The BI docs metion that missionHeader property is used to overwrite the scenario's SCR_MissionHeaderCampaign, but everything inside the default server config is actually from SCR_MissionHeader.

When I try to override any of the properties from SCR_MissionHeader (e.g. m_bRandomWeatherChanges), it does not reflect the change when the server reboots.

But when I override something from SCR_MissionHeaderCampaign (e.g. m_iMinimumBaseSupplies), it does work after a restart.

Additional context
Am I misunderstanding something?

Turns out I did misunderstand it.

You have to set m_bOverrideScenarioTimeAndWeather to 1 in order for these to have any effect.

m_iStartingHours
m_iStartingMinutes
m_bRandomStartingDaytime
m_fDayTimeAcceleration
m_fNightTimeAcceleration
m_bRandomStartingWeather
m_bRandomWeatherChanges

As for the other headers...

IDK why, but from my testing, not all mission headers can be overridden by the server config. For example:

m_sName
m_sAuthor
m_sPath
m_sDescription
m_sDetails
m_sIcon
m_sLoadingScreen
m_sPreviewImage
m_sGameMode
m_eEditableGameFlags
m_eDefaultGameFlags
m_sGameMode
m_iPlayerCount
m_bLoadOnStart           // I presume this one is supposed to load the latest save?

Some headers I have no idea how to test or what they do

m_sOwner
m_sBriefingConfig
m_bCustomBaseWhitelist           // Should be used to allow only some of the conflict bases, but I did not test it

And finally, these work just fine

m_bIsSavingEnabled
m_sSaveFileName
m_iControlPointsCap
m_fVictoryTimeout
m_iMaximumRespawnRadios
m_iStartingHQSupplies
m_iMinimumBaseSupplies
m_iMaximumBaseSupplies
m_bIgnoreMinimumVehicleRank
