Does anyone else lose the zeus ability if they die? I login to mcc, can press Y to open zeus, but if I die, I need to logout/login to still have zeus

No, its since day 1 of using it. I dont think I ever found much in the RPT but disabling the RPG made all crashes go away.

Same issue, we disabled it for now. Sorry for not reporting it earlier

I could write something that does this and then execute a callExtension to save to a file. The problem with this, is that it depends on the C++ libraries to be on the PC. It also might get kind of annoying to have to specify an output directory. I will start to mess around on my system and if I come up with something I think would not be inconvenient to have in a mod, I will forward it along. Are you sure it can't be done easily in sqf? http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?154940-Config-Parser-Script

I could get the respawn to work fine on a listen server. As soon as I switched to dedicated, they would not respawn. The pastebin is the same for the listen/dedicated server. Thanks! http://pastebin.com/2ZDXzUEY

MP dedicated server. I will see what else I can get you later, thanks!

the script doesn't seem to be ejecting me out of a vehicle before dying anymore. The code looks right, not sure what is going on here...

I am trying to get the respawning to work. I spawn a group, set their respawns and see R-999 but when they all die, they dont respawn. Any advice? Thanks I am trying to make a few spawn points of enemies and have them attack a town that you defend and have it be endless waves

Any thoughts on this one. If it was fixed, the community could create fire from vehicle scripts. Thanks!

My friends are getting spanked by the AI. I had set precision and skill to 0.2 but they still seem to be SUPER quick to aim and extremely accurate. Even behind cover you get messed up pretty much instantly. I am running a dedicated but Zeus seems to ignore the difficulty and skill settings, is this true? I am not 100% sure if this is Zeus only or not. If someone has played Zeus with dumb AI, I am probably doing something wrong or have a bad config somewhere. I can adjust the skill of a group but if I spawn a few groups around a town I have to adjust the skill for all of them, and even then it doesn't seem to do too much. Lastly, there is no way to create a default set of skill parameters for newly created troops, is there? Maybe my friends and I should just get better.

Thanks for the replies guys. I tried out the AI mod and it seems to work pretty well. They pop colored smoke everywhere haha I might use the script in the future, thanks!

Whoa man, you are awesome. Running the sandbox mission as a listen server, everything runs great, can open up the console etc. If I run a dedicated server with my addons, and then connect with Arma on the same PC, is when I run into an issue. Maybe it is thinking I am the server and client at the same time? I get 2 options for MCC console. Is there a way to disable it completely for the server host so that only admins can access it?

I tried the sandbox mission and the mcc console kept opening every few seconds, any ideas?

Ok sounds good, I still had the gamespy IP, so I figured that was overriding it. And since it still "worked" I didn't switch it until I knew what to put instead. It sounds like leaving it blank and not used will default to steam. Thanks

Are you saying if 2 different people are Zeus, the AI that each spawn will inherit their difficulties and not the serverside AI difficulty?

Did the update recently switch the default server stuff to steam instead of gamespy? Where can I find the IP to switch to the steam stuff instead of gamespy when I launch my dedicated server?

I do this but I found that if arma3.exe crashes, when I try to relaunch it, steam says arma is already running. The only thing running in process manager is the server and I can't exit steam or the server without shutting down the server. As soon as I shut down the server, it lets me relaunch both the server and client
