Yes, what I do is have a separate mission file where I place units from each mod I have on the server. This makes the mission.sqm file produced have a very long table of addons. I copy those addons and addonsmetatada lists from that mission.sqm and replace the ones on my exile mission.sqm. Repack the mission file and now Zeus will be able to spawn all units that you have also placed on your test map, depending on the addons you have enabled.

Preview release: Nimitz for Arma3 (0.103)
bofhgr replied to TeTeT's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
Hello @TeTeT and thank you for this awesome mod! I have a question, as I haven't been able to make it work on my mission as I have envisioned and would like to ask for help. I have placed 3 carriers giving each a different number. I would like to have each carrier spawn for a different faction (one for Bluefor, one for CSAT and one for Independed) and want to make it so that armed AA defenses on each carrier do not shoot on friendlies but engage other hostile factions as expected. So far all 3 Nimitz spawn for BlueFor and I haven't been able to make them switch to either CSAT or Independed. I suspect some code in their init could do the trick, but my limited arma-fu is limited. If I load Zeus and use the available option from Ares/Achilles mod I can change the faction of the carrier and the AA defenses, so I assume this could be done. Any ideas how I could make it work? -
How to get "required addons" to show up in launcher
bofhgr replied to flexgrip's topic in ARMA 3 - SERVERS & ADMINISTRATION
OK so what I found so far is that the total number of files in your keys folder is a cause for server not showing up correctly. I had many obsolete keys and once I deleted all the ones I don't support on the server anymore - voila! server is up and showing green. Confirmed by re-adding some random keys and it showed up red again. It seems there is a limit to how many keys you have in your folder until it becomes an issue with arma launcher :( pitty, wish I could add many more mods than currently :( -
Hello and thank you for your work on this amazing mod. I have two questions and hope the community here can help. 1. I run a dedicated server with exile and a ton of other mods and scripts and need help merging my cfgremoteexec classes with the ones provided here: https://github.com/ArmaAchilles/AresModAchillesExpansion/blob/(0.1.0)/%40AresModAchillesExpansion/keys/cfgRemoteExec.hpp (Edit for better clarity) this is how I have currently configured my cfgremoteexec section including the above mentioned classes, however things like locking/unlocking vehicles don't function properly in Zeus. Problem is that the mods I currently run the below mode/jip settings for Functions and Commands, where as Achilles needs mode/jip both 1 for both Functions and Commands. So how can I have the syntax to get both Achilles to work properly and not break all my existing mods? Also, all my existing class definitions include a { AllowedTargets=2; }; after class name, but nothing similar provided with the above link - is that correct? PS: I am not sure but I assume I need to run Achilles at the -servermod parameter on my server not -mod -- correct? class Functions { mode = 1; jip = 0; .... and class Commands { mode=0; jip=0;... 2. I would like to limit the vehicles and units available from all the mods to just a select grouping of my design. I understand Achilles supports similar functionality but I am not sure where to find it and how to configure it. Any pointers would be most welcome! Thank you in advance! qp

glad to know I am not the only one :) we are running our server from a dedicated VM running on Microsoft Azure, so no issue there, all ports and everything is setup properly with a huge internet pipe. interesting that you mention basic.cfg, below are my settings on this file, played with it a bit (see values in comments) but not sure how to optimize it. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Bandwidth Tuning // // Be sure to adjust this to your server settings! // This example is for 1GBit/s pipe /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // 100MB * 1024 * 1024 = 104857600 MinBandwidth = 107374182; //was 107374182 // Do NOT set this too high or your Arma server will simulate ego-ddos // 600MB * 1024 * 1024 = 629145600 MaxBandwidth = 1073741824; /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Network Tuning // // Usually something we developers set.

Hi and thank you for answering! Done that, when testing fewer mods, everything works, when I reach a certain point of too many mods it breaks. It's not that a specific mod makes this issue, everything I added lately (4 mods) individually work fine, when added together they break arma launcher :( Folks can connect to the server normally via A3Launcher as well as by manually entering with all required mods loaded via steam launcher but the error will make anyone not familiar with the workaround unable to join. my start-up command line is this: It didn't work when I had all mods with simply -@modname instead of full path so added the full path in case it works.. start /wait /min /high "Arma3" arma3server_x64.exe -name=SC -profiles=SC -config=F:\Games\Arma\Server\@ExileServer\config.cfg -port=2302 -BEPath=F:\Games\Arma\Server\battleye -cfg=F:\Games\Arma\Server\@ExileServer\basic.cfg "-mod=F:\Games\arma\server\@cba;F:\Games\arma\server\@rhsu;F:\Games\arma\server\@rhsr;F:\Games\arma\server\@rhsg;F:\Games\arma\server\@fox;F:\Games\arma\server\@bafv;F:\Games\arma\server\@cupu;F:\Games\arma\server\@cupw;F:\Games\arma\server\@cupv;F:\Games\arma\server\@jfa;F:\Games\arma\server\@z;F:\Games\arma\server\@zi;F:\Games\arma\server\@hmcs;F:\Games\arma\server\@nmtz;F:\Games\arma\server\@at;F:\Games\arma\server\@asl;F:\Games\arma\server\@ar;F:\Games\arma\server\@aur;F:\Games\arma\server\@ats;F:\Games\arma\server\@em;F:\Games\arma\server\@Exile;F:\Games\arma\server\@ebm;" "-servermod=F:\Games\arma\server\curator;F:\Games\arma\server\kart;F:\Games\arma\server\heli;F:\Games\arma\server\mark;F:\Games\arma\server\jets;F:\Games\arma\server\expansion;F:\Games\arma\server\@ATKS;F:\Games\arma\server\@Enigma;F:\Games\arma\server\@SLZ;F:\Games\arma\server\@ExileServer;" -autoinit -filePatching -loadMissionToMemory -nosound -enableHT Another workaround is to edit verifySignatures = 2; to 0, but that's not desired either. In above thread folks mentioned that maybe shortening the path by renaming mods or moving mods from -mod to -server mod methods worked for them, but have been unsuccesfull in my case, so wanted to hear back from someone who had a similar issue and managed to find a solution. thank you. qp -
How to get "required addons" to show up in launcher

hey folks! @flexgrip @strider42 We run into the same problem with our server, what ended up being your solution ? adding mods in the same folder? truncating names to a,b,c or what else? I tried moving mods from -mod to -servermod but that didn't do the trick for us.. Any suggestions are welcome! -
I want to thank you both for your replies and your feedback on how to utilize this within our server's main mod - Exile. I'll need to step up my dev skills for sure, and it's a welcome challenge to learn how to code better! :D Regarding the use of your mod, on our server, I want to ensure you that it is according to license and we are not monetizing in any way our Arma experience, purely for fun! Currently the Servicing stations are placed in strategic locations (safe zones) that all players have access to refit and rearm their vehicles for free instead of using the in-game currency of poptabs :) If you would like to see for yourselves, I can send you details about our server on a PM. To learn more about our gaming community you may visit http://www.oldbloodandguts.com thank you, qp

Hello, I wanted to stop by and let you know that we love this mod, although we only very recently discovered it! We'll be adding this to our Exile server and we're investigating if we can utilize the Servicing functionality for changing pylon settings and rearming of your mod with Exile's money and respect system - so a player has to spend money / needs to have a certain respect lvl etc in order to rearm/repair their vehicle. Do you happen to know if this has been done by someone before (couldn't find any related info on the exile forums or google) or if anyone could point us to the right direction in extending this functionality for our server? thank you in advance, qp

wanted to post here and let everyone know that SLZ now works well with the latest Ares-Achilles mod ver 0.9c for Exile servers and we're loving it :)
-
well ignore my last message, I figured out how to solve this, so I am posting here to let everyone else know how to add this. you need to ensure that the mod you want is included in the mission.sqm file (for exile servers) under the addons list. I added the missing mod and it now shows up on Zeus :D
-
Hi @fry02312, hope you're well! I've added this mod on my Exile server http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=952560410 It doesn't show up in Zeus,however and according to the mod author and I quote: "Can use in Zeus. Your mission needs to set "All addons" inside "Game Master" module at EDEN Editor." So my question is, how to make this work with SLZ mod? Does SLZ mod offer this functionality? For refference, my SLZ_Settings have the following setting for Objects: SLZ_objects = [{vehicles}, {allDead}, {allUnits}]; // DEFAULT = [] Thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide. PS: You still have zeus admin access on my server if you wish to test yourself, currently the server has the HMCS mod enabled & running but it's not showing up on Zeus.
-
yup spam is gone. working great with Ares mod but doesn't seem to like Ares-Achilles mod as none of the module functions are available. pitty as it should give more depth to zeusing. but I am very happy that I can zeus in Exile, thank you for all your help and effort! much appreciated!
-
yeah well after restarting both client & server it seems to be working again... and errors are gone from rpt.. weird..
-
Hello, I have issues opening Zeus after the latest hotfix for Arma 1.70. All was well, including updating to the latest Exile patch and nothing has changed besides patching the latest hotfix 141838 for my client and server. attaching server log: attaching client log: your zeus access to our server still works if it will help you troubleshoot :) thank you!
-
Below logs are from new session captured few minutes ago. Client log was at 5mb after couple of minutes. server log client log send me PM with your UID and I can add you to the curators list of my server if it would help you in testings
-
This is from the client log for a 6mb log created after a 10 minutes session. Below are lines from beginning till 1st error. Again, thank you for your time!
-
I removed Achilles and got Ares 1.8 instead. I still get massive client log files with this error after I fire up the curator interface. However I do see the full feature list of Ares and all seem to work. Something we have noticed is that although the server starts OK and can do lighting bolts etc, after few minutes (around when client log reaches 30MB) bolt stops working and get messages like Insufficient Resources when trying to move or delete empty vehicles.
-
OK seems that these errors I had because of latest CBA update were due to some custom overrides, I fixed them and re-enabled zeus today. Had the server running with no errors for past couple hours, so I assume everything should work again. Did a brief test and everything I can see including bolts and artillery fire works. Hopefully I'll get to test tonight with 2x Zeus and let you know. One thing i did notice is that I don't have all the Achillles functions available on the right toolbar when in curator mode. For example I can't find the options to TP Zeus to location or make him invisible. If I recall correctly, these features were available with 1.3 + Achilles but I could not see any players or objects besides some simple objects. It would be nice to have the full functionality of Achilles if possible. Are these features working for anyone ? Also, I did notice something rather disturbing. My client logs (users/appdata/local/arma3) are filled with errors and grow to insane sizes (over 50mb for 30min session). Below is a snip of these errors. I only had these errors after enabling SLZ on the server and logging in as curator. Let me know if you need any additional info or rpt reports again, thank you for your support!
-
wow that's some luck! I tested and it worked great before the latest CBA update. Now various things don't work in curator mode (lighting bolt for one) and my server rpt became 500mb in just 20minutes. I've removed it and test in case something else is the culprit, and will let you know if that's not the case
-
YEAH! IT WORKS! Running Exile, I can see players, units, can remote control, do arsenal and throw lightning bolts! using SLZ_objects = [{allUnits}, {vehicles}, {allDead}, {playableUnits}]; and SLZ_sharedObjects = true; Oh I've been waiting a long time for this, thank you so much!! :D one quick question in case you know, how do I add crates to SLZ_ojects ? Is there a class I can use, or should I add them individually? <edit: nevermind, it works, just needed some time to refresh I guess> I'll be testing later tonight with multiple Zeus and Achilles, let you know if there are any issues. Again, thank you for making this work with Exile! :D
-
Thanks for getting back to me! What I want to do is to have your mod mandatory for anyone that joins the server, so they get those glorious HMDs regardless of whether they fly the RHS-MELB-H and play with the laser targeting or they get the civilian version that's offered in Exile, everyone should have your HMDs as a default option. How can I achieve that? I currently have 3 versions available on steam as supported optional mods, but can I make some mandatory and integrate them so one does not override the other? Thank you for your time!
-
Hello Kimi and thank you for this great mod! I want to ask you about which version is the latest and where to find it, as well as whether I need to have more than one of your mods in order to have RHS and vanilla HMDs. The reason I ask is that on steam I see 3 versions and the version 3.7.1 available via armaholic is different than any of these. I am running an Exile server and want to have this mod as optional for my server and include it in my mod collection on steam for easy download for my players. Currently the versions missmatch and I can either have the vanilla hummingbird/pawnee HMDs or the MELB RHS HMDs but not both. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated & again thank you for this awesome mod!! :D
