Save only changed settings into mission

[jonpas]

Arma 3 Version: 1.80 (stable)
CBA Version: 3.5.0 (stable)

Mods:

- CBA_A3
- ace
- acex
- acre
- tac_mods
- NIArms
- A few more without CBA Settings

Description:

• Currently Settings save all settings into mission.sqm, even those that are untouched/default, resulting in about 200 KB size increase (~12.800 lines) with above mods.
• Major improvement would be to only save changed settings.
• Possibly also happens when saving to profile (client or server), but that was not verified.

Steps to reproduce:

• Check mission.sqm size or line count
• Save settings in mission
• Check mission.sqm size or line count

Where did the issue occur?

• Editor (Singleplayer)

RPT log file:

• N/A

It does only save changed settings. What happens is, that all global flag settings are recognized as changed from the default, because they have the priority set to 1 instead of 0.

I see, so it's actually a bug?

Kind of. It doesn't break anything functionally, but the original intention was to only store changed settings (incl. priority), which got broken during development when global settings were added.
