Zeus rights

[WurschtBanane 11]

As noone has answered yet, i will simplifiy my post:

 

I created 2 playable units.

 

I synched game master modules to them (and put the units names in the owner line)

 

I synched the game master modules with a game master gamemode module

 

I hosted the mission, a friend joined... and only one of us was able to place everything. He one was also able to acess zeus, but could only place markers.

 

Why? And how do i fix this.

Pls help. The vanilla Zeus scenario from BIS has limited view distance and doesnt allow mods, which makes it useless for me.

Easiest way would be to just remove the Gameplay Mode - Game Master module, otherwise something like this:

yourZeusWithoutObjects addCuratorAddons curatorAddons yourZeusWithObjects;

To the Debug console that you can activate from top left of the editor: Attributes > General > States.

What about using a zeus logic instead of curator module. I have read on the forums it has resolved some issues with zeus.

What I usually do is place two or three Zeus game logics as playable Zeus slots and give them all names (Zeus, Apollo and Hades in my case). Then I place three game master modules, and give them onwers Zeus, Apollo and Hades. 
this will mean everybody can spawn everything, but you need something running in the background to add newly spawned units to everyone, i.e. if Zeus spawns something, Hades cannot control it and vice versa.

 

In my init.sqf I have this

if (isServer) then {
 /* Place all editor units under Curator control */
    [] spawn {
        {
            _x addCuratorEditableObjects [allUnits, true];
            _x addCuratorEditableObjects [vehicles, true];
            _x addCuratorEditableObjects [allUnitsUAV, true];
            _x addCuratorEditableObjects [allMines, true];
        } forEach allCurators;
    };
};

This will make sure all curators see all the editor placed units. You can also add a "sleep 30" and put a loop around it to do this repeatedly, but since we play with ACE I usually use the ace module instead.

Hope this helps.

You need to have something that is playable in order to "connect" to Zeus. The game logic Zeus entity will appear as a logical player slot on the Logic side, but it will not have anything to go on. You need an associated Curator module.

Good to know. Thanks.

But doesnt that break the respawns? I have respawn=BASE enabled which makes people select a spawn on the map.

[kauppapekka 27]

Don't know if it breaks the respawn on your mission but if you want to keep the Gameplay Mode module you need to use the script command or open up a Zeus Mission file and see how it's done there.

 

Edit:

Well here's how a Zeus mission description.ext looks like:

 

Spoiler

respawn = 2;
respawnDelay = 20;
respawnVehicleDelay = 30;
respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuPosition","MenuInventory","Tickets"};
respawnTemplatesVirtual[] = {};

disabledAI = 1;
joinUnassigned = 1;
aiKills  = 1;

class Header
{
	gameType = Zeus;
	minPlayers = 1;
	#ifdef _PARAMTYPE
		maxPlayers = 18;
	#else
		maxPlayers = 50;
	#endif
};

class Params
{
	class CuratorGodMode
	{
		title = $STR_A3_MP_ZGM_m11.Altis_Params_CuratorUnlock;
		values[] = {0,1};
		texts[] = {$STR_DISABLED,$STR_ENABLED};
		default = 0;
	};
	class CuratorModeratorRights
	{
		title = $STR_A3_MP_ZGM_m11.Altis_Params_CuratorModeratorRights;
		values[] = {-1,0,1,2};
		texts[] = {
			"Cannot create and edit anything (spectating only)", //--- ToDo: Localize
			$STR_A3_MP_ZGM_m11.Altis_Params_CuratorModeratorRights_0,
			$STR_A3_MP_ZGM_m11.Altis_Params_CuratorModeratorRights_1,
			$STR_A3_MP_ZGM_m11.Altis_Params_CuratorModeratorRights_2
		};
		default = 0;
	};
#ifdef _PARAMTYPE
	class Type
	{
		title = $STR_DISP_ARCGRP_TYPE;
		values[] = {0,1};
		texts[] = {$STR_A3_CfgMPGameTypes_Coop_name_0,$STR_A3_CfgMPGameTypes_DM_name_0};
		default = 0;
		isGlobal = 1;
		file = "paramType.sqf";
	};
#endif
	class PlayerEditingAreaSize
	{
		title = $STR_A3_MP_ZGM_m11.Altis_Params_PlayerEditingAreaSize;
		values[] = {0,100,200,500,1000};
		texts[] = {0,100,200,500,1000};
		default = 100;
	};
	#include "\a3\functions_f\Params\paramGuerFriendly.inc"
	#include "\a3\functions_f\Params\paramDebugConsole.inc"
};
