This project is no longer supported by the developer. If you wish to continue development, contact me and I can guide you through the file structure.

Please do not publish mirrors or edits without contacting myself personally.

 

Hello everyone!

 

• Have you been playing the official Zeus GM mission file and thinking "This is missing something..."?
• Have you ever seen trolls completely wreck a server with hacks or exploits?
• Have you had trolling Zeus’s who are really difficult to get rid of?

 

We may have something that you will like!

 

Enhanced Zeus Gamemaster is a intensely edited version of the official Zeus gamemaster game mode created by Bohemia Interactive. There are lots of features that are present and more are planned as time goes on.

If you are unsure what Zeus is however, take a look at this: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Field_Manual_-_Zeus

 

So time to sell this game mode to you... hehe

 

Features

I spent a lot of time collecting common features that players would like to see in Zeus. These would include some of the following:

1. Client-side mod support and full integration of mods like Ares | Achilles Expansion. (More below)
2. Force animations on AI units.
3. Keybinds for common modules and actions for AI.
4. Rework parts of the menus to make more sense from a creation stand-point.
5. Custom mission parameters.
6. Custom Framework for easy integration over maps.
7. Custom server-side "anti-cheat" for monitoring, and acting, on players misbehaving.
8. Magazine repacking.
9. Blacklist Zeus slots.
10. Whitelist Script Execution Module for trusted Zeus's.
11. Custom smoke colours/sizes.
12. And much, much more! (Please refer to the changelogs below.)

 

Some of these features are also in a framework that has been created for this gamemode. It is a combination of two, created with the purpose of the gamemode. These go under the names of "Curious's Framework" and "Enhanced Zeus Gamemaster". Here is some extra information about them.

• Curious's Framework is the backend functions and bulk of the scripts regarding the players etc. It also deals with some of the GUI scripts.
• Enhanced Zeus Gamemaster is most of the custom GUIs, custom modules, ZGM-exclusive features etc. as well as being the final front face of the gamemode.

 

Both work together to bring you this gamemode.

 

 

Modifications Allowed

*NOTE: All mods are optional. They're not required but are there purely for the enhanced experience they provide for some players.

There are a few mods that the mission file has been fully configured for. These are:

• Ares | Achilles Expansion
• Community Based Addons

 

I also have allowed some other mods if the player wishes:

• JSRS Sound
• Shacktac UI
• Blastcore Edited (Standalone)
• Zeus/Eden Custom Compositions
• Zeus/Eden Interiors
• Vana Loadout Manager
• Tao Folding Map
• Immerse Pack
• Advanced Series

 

At the request of players, I can also add more mods that are clientside.

 

Hosting

This mission file is currently still under development.

There is a semi-stable branch that is now able to be used and up for download. You can find it at:
