(beta) Default Defense missions?

Recommended Posts

I apologize if this has been over asked, or is so simple I'm being "that guy",

The old defense missions Arma 3 had made for Kamino and the other place with CSAT and AAF defending against NATO, my friends and I loved these two missions very much (probably the only people who played them repeatedly). Zeus was released and the defense missions were made into Zeus Defense missions. My friends and I attempted countless times to adjust and fix the map so that it could be played without the Zeus module and have the normal style defense mission, but we were unable to do so.

I have the old defense missions files that BI created (before zeus) and have searched through the files to see if there are ways to fix it, my friends and I are stumped and wanted to know if we could get help in advice or the adjustment of the missions to their original glory (without zeus).

Thanks to anyone who takes the time and looks at this or responds.

Much appreciation.

Hi BriCro. If you can't find the old missions maybe someone can replicate the scenario? How does it go down? What's involved? Cheers.

@BRICRO if you played them from dedicated or host server You have the mission PBO download to your PC. Just find it and copy It into MP mission folder and now you should be able to play the mission as the host. Every mission you play online you have the mission PBO in your PC. Did you know this. I don't know if you DL THE MISSIONS from the Steam Workshop if you have the PBO.

If you have played a mission on a dedicated server, that pbo goes in your appdata, the following is an example of the directory path:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Arma 3\MPMissionsCache

For Steam Workshop Single Player:

C:\Users\User\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\JShock\Saved\steam

For Steam Workshop Multiplayer:

C:\Users\User\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\JShock\Saved\steamMPMission

It's the Defend Syrta and Defend Kamino missions Bohemia had originally created with Arma 3 before the Zeus Module was implemented. Now they've been overwritten by Bohemia as just Zeus vs people. I had the files copied and placed them back on the mission file list as they were before, but whenever I launch the mission no AI show up or are dispatched, and nothing happens. Not sure if this has something to do with the new curator (if I even know what i am talking about here?) or the coding doesn't work with the current model of Arma 3.

Hey, I just tried both Defend Kamino and Defend Syrta with no Zeus and enemies were spawning. Maybe give it another try?

I know these missions were broken when Zeus was first introduced, but they may have been fixed...

Is there a way to disable the zeus module for the mission? or just leave the Zeus slot empty and it will operate normally? I launched it on MP and I got nothing.

I think if nobody takes the Zeus slot, it works like it did before. Remove your copied versions and try the current versions.
