As we all already know, zeus is able to manually use the Arsenal functionality in-game to give specific infantry units specific equipment and kits, which is good. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the zeus is unable to modify any values on vehicles. Many vehicles have a lot of variations with equipment like slat cages, or different Camo patterns. I am requesting that the "Zeus" mode in public servers gains an ingrained ability to go into the "Virtual Garage" when the zeus uses either the Arsenal module on a vehicle or a new type of module designed for vehicles. A lot of these assets are in the game but go completely unused, and it would allow for more creativity and game play value in-game.

Hello, just reporting on a bug I have been encountering recently that I have finally found the root cause of. When setting up a Zeus v Zeus mission I wanted to have a limit and natural regeneration of either Zeus' resources. (So they couldn't just spam a bunch of units and overwhelm the server.) All of the modules to set costs such as Side, Object, and Soldiers and Vehicles work perfectly as intended. (Each cost set is used for the synced curator.) However, the module controlling the costs of Zeus modules, Ie: Audio, Effects, Animals, Objectives, etc... does not function properly. I didn't want the Zeus' just resorting to using the Fire Support Module to win fights so I set this Module using the editor Set Costs - Modules to a number greater than 1, so it could not be used. But, there was an issue, after setting the cost of this Module, Fire Support was still available and at the same resource cost as any of the other Modules I did allow the Zeus' to use... It wasn't till today, when I decided I wanted this exploit patched that I uncovered what was causing the issue. When setting the costs of Modules one of the categories is "Misc" and this is what is creating the issue, no matter what value you set any of the other Module costs too, they all follow the cost of Misc... meaning that all Modules are forced to either all be the same cost as the Misc value or to have them all disabled, by having the value set to an unattainable cost. (1<_) I will provide screenshots demonstrating this issue, I hope it can be resolved in the near future. Thank you. Screenshots: Misc at 0.02 (2%): Misc at 0.9 (90%):

Mission for dedicated server!!! Video exemple : Description of the game mode : Sandbox game mode with the CSATs, the base of the mission is quite simple, enemy occupied areas (NATO) are generated randomly, once the secure area a new one will be generated randomly. Incidentally there is a small playable NATO team (5 slot) to oppose an additional resistance, thus creating more difficult and unforeseen situations. Configuration of the mission : CSAT : -Main base or all CSAT vehicles are available. -Recruitment of up to 10 AI per player. -Vehicle maintenance area. -Aircraft Configuration Zone (Pylon custom). -3 box F.O.B (fortification construction, static weapon, light vehicles, AI recruitment, arsenal, respawn point), note that the F.O.B are brand so that opposing players can know where they are located, in order to create conflicts around the F.O.B CSAT. -HALO Jump. NATO : -Rudimentary post, only light vehicles and light helo are available (transport, combat), heavy vehicles will need to be requisitioned from NATO IA. -Recruitment of up to 10 AI per player. -1 F.O.B crate (fortification construction, static weapon, light vehicles, AI recruitment, arsenal, respawn point), take note that the NATO F.O.B will be invisible in order to give an advantage to NATO players who are 4 times fewer in number. Globale content : -Approximately 80 operating areas. -Dynamic IA activity that adapts to the actions of players such as setting up mortar camps, S.A.M, land and air patrol. The zones where the AI are setting up installations are not indicated on the map, so as NATO gradually tries to block you with barrage shots or to defeat any air action. -Engineers can build sandbagwall (need a tool kit in inventory). -Zeus interface for server admin. -The group leaders of each faction have the automatic support (C.A.S, transport, ammunition drop). -Cleaning system (performance manager) every hour empty vehicles, body, stuff on the ground are removed to keep good server/client performance over the long term, players will be notified 2 minutes before the cleaning sequence.

Just a place-able carrier that we can do Carrier-Ops off of would be wonderful. I have always wanted to do carrier-ops in Zeus, doing things like CAS requests, transport, amphibious assault, ETC. So if any Bohemia staff/developers look at this forum thread keep this in the back of your head.

Hi guys this is my project i recreating the Call of duty 4 missions on Arma 3 from the " Crew Expendable" operation to the "hunted" mission playable in multiplayer with the help of an excellent zeus i tried to recreate the settings in the greatest detail that Arma can offer But as you will know, for many things it sins I'm looking for a good guy who knows how to recreate various objects for this MP campaign (ex cargo ship) to then publish it on the workshop to make everyone participate in this fabulous campaign Because you also know that when we talk about the MW campaign, a small part of us gets excited once again For now I leave you only the screens of the environments but in the future I will provide you with a nice video dedicated to all this Please comment and have your say and why not if you want to join the project 😎 MORE SCREEN AND VIDEO INCOMING

ArmA III has many different vehicles, each with several different available textures. Some like the offroad (and now with the release of Tanks DLC, most armored vehicles as well) even have certain components like doors, camo nets, bags, and supplemental armor that can be added or removed. I love these customization options-- the only problem: it's impossible to edit any of this in-game. My friends and I like to play scenarios using MCC and Zeus to create missions on-the-fly rather than create them beforehand in Eden. This allows for spontaneity and overall shorter prep time. However, Zeus currently lacks the ability to edit vehicle appearance in any way. Currently, if I want an offroad with a different camo pattern or a tank with extra armor around the tracks, I have to edit a scenario to include that specific vehicle for the one missions I will use it in. Adding the ability to customize vehicle appearance to Zeus would go a long way in allowing players like myself to enjoy some of these customization options, especially now that some of them actually have function (e.g. supplemental armor around tank tracks). Players had similar complaints after Jets DLC dropped and there was no way to edit the pylons in Zeus, and then that feature was added. It seems like it'd be similarly easy to add this as well. TL;DR We should be able to edit vehicle appearance in Zeus like we do in Eden.

I do understand the use of the Virtual Arsenal. Testing stuff out. Looking through available stuff. But what use is the option for saving / loading loadouts in the vehicle section? I cannot load custom vehicle loadouts as Zeus to make these destinct. There are no vehicle arsenals where i could change the look of my car. Why is there then an option to save my grey Angara if i will never use it in a vanilla setting. Whats the use of it? There should be an option to load specific visual customization either as Zeus or as the player. I think there should be more stuff you should be able to save and customize. But sadly there is not even an option to use the vehicle loadouts.

Latest V1.3: MOD THREAD MOD VERSION WORKSHOP ARMAHOLIC This script enables Curators to see the Frames-per-second of each individual client when playing in multiplayer, or yourself when in SP. Allowing the Zeus to identify if there is a widespread framerate problem, or if a few select users are experiencing issues. Comments in the code explain how to modify it if you want to change the 'Warning text' threshold which by default is 20fps. Pasting this code into the initPlayerLocal.sqf of any mission should work without a problem.Given Arma 3 is now in 64 bit it's the perfect opportunity for players to test their performance in multiplayer coop games with large scale combat. Find out who's computer is the beefiest when playing with your unit, or be able to identify which player's computers are having trouble keeping up with all the action on screen. A great tool for mission makers looking to maintain an optimized experience for their players when monitoring their progress in Zeus. DISCLAIMER: The script version is out of date and does not have all the features of the mod. The mod only needs to be downloaded client side and I recommend you use it instead.

Does anyone have any idea how to use the function "BIS_fnc_isCuratorEditable" to kill curator editable units when they enter a trigger. I am trying to create a restriction zone around my map which kills the player and curator units when they enter the zone but will allow none curator units to pass through (so I can simulate reinforcements entering the region after a certain amount of time). I have been running some tests to get an idea on how the "BIS_fnc_isCuratorEditable" function works. I currently have four triggers around the map which tell me through a hint whether a unit is curator editable or not. I am now trying to work out how to change it from giving me a hint which is either true or false, to killing the unit if true or allow the unit through if false. Something along the lines of... Just can not seem to work it out. Also tried this to no avail...

Hi all, I am currently making a map which requires a Curator Editing Area to follow the player around the map. I would like it so that if an enemy of the player enters the Curator Editing Area, the Curator Editing Area is disabled (to stop him spawning stuff on top of the enemy). I have managed to write a script which has the Curator Editing Area follow the player... //init.sqf [] spawn { while { alive t1 } do { myCurator addCuratorEditingArea [ 0, position t1, 50 ]; sleep 0.05; }; }; How this works is by creating a Curator Editing Area at the position of the player every 0.05 seconds. The interesting part is that you keep the ID of the Curator Editing Area, this means that it deletes the old Curator Editing Area when the new one is created. (Curator Editing Area ID being 0 in this case). The problem I have is temporarily disabling the creation of "new" Curator Editing Area 's while an enemy is within range. So I need to be able to temporarily disable the script (which I do not know how to do).

Hey guys, I am in need of a clever explanation of what I'm seeing and a helpful hand with fixing it. I have created an action that calls for a chopper from a nearby location and makes it move and land in a different location. The script works locally without issues. The script works in multiplayer when called using the Zeus code module option. The script does not work when called by addAction (either attached to a player or a static object). By "does not work" I mean the helicopter does receive the cargo (which means it is recognised) but the chopper just sits there forever. ["Land_PaperBox_01_small_closed_brown_IDAP_F", helicopter1] call ace_cargo_fnc_addCargoItem; ["Land_PaperBox_01_small_closed_brown_IDAP_F", helicopter1] call ace_cargo_fnc_addCargoItem; ["Land_PaperBox_01_small_closed_brown_IDAP_F", helicopter1] call ace_cargo_fnc_addCargoItem; ["Land_PaperBox_01_small_closed_brown_IDAP_F", helicopter1] call ace_cargo_fnc_addCargoItem; hint "Friendly chopper incoming"; helicopter1 move (getPos heli_landing_pad); sleep 15; while { ( (alive helicopter1) && !(unitReady helicopter1) ) } do { sleep 1; }; if (alive helicopter1) then { helicopter1 land "LAND"; while { ( (alive helicopter1) && !(unitReady helicopter1) ) } do { helicopter1 engineOn false; }; }; For the love of me, I cannot understand why it keeps happening. I even called the helicopter1 move part individually from the zeus interface and it did work. Thanks a lot, Adam

All-In-One AI Command Menu A "WW AI Menu" Patch By Leopard20 & WindWalking This thread is no longer updated! For the latest release, check here Hello everyone. As you know, the WW AI Menu was one of the first and best AI mods released in the early days of ARMA 3 release. It addressed a lot of issues and shortcomings with the vanilla ARMA commanding system, and packed a lot of handy features including: - Infantry commands such as healing, garrisoning & clearing building, rearming, .... - Vehicle commands such as engine on and off, horn and eject with parachute. - Waypoint system with the ability to assign multiple waypoints to your squad members. - Weapon accessories (silencers, flashlights, ...) - Unsticking units. and .... Read more about the mod: https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/153621-ww-aimenu-complimentary-commands/ Unfortunately, when Windwalking left the community some of the features ended up broken, and due to the community rule forbidding people from taking over and/or changing an author's work without their permission, nobody has stepped up to bring this mod back to life. Until now. I decided to bring this mod back to life in a way that respects the community rule and the author's work. Namely, "patching" the original mod by adding features and fixing broken ones. As a result, you will need the original mod installed for my mod to work. You can activate the menu by pressing Y .If you use the "Y" key for Zeus or anything else you can either change the keybinding for those features (I personally use "Ctrl+Y" for Zeus) or change the keybinding for the menu by navigating to: "OPTIONS > CONTROLS > CONFIGURE ADDONS > (dropdown menu) All-In-One Command Menu". I've also included a userconfig file where you can add support for your mods (if they are not supported already). Currently you can add support for: Resupply vehicles, AT soldiers (used in the rearming script) and the Handgun suppressors. Note that you might need to enable "file patching" for the config file to work (either add the -filepatching commandline or enable it in the launcher parameters). This mod is compatible with other commanding mods (such as C2). Although I don't recommend using both for issuing the same command at the same time (e.g when you use C2 to order your units to mount a vehicle, don't use the same command in this mod, as it may cause conflicts and unforeseen consequences) I also recommend this mod as it makes issuing regular and frequent commands a lot easier: (you may need to change the default keys used by the mod, keys 1, 2, 3 , 4, as these keys are used for switching weapons) Advanced Command System (ACS) All features were tested using the vanilla ARMA vehicles/weapons (including all DLCs up to the time of release), and work as intended. However some features (the most important of which being weapon accessories) may not work in other mods (such as RHS or CUP). Edit: As of version 0.50 Beta most features should work with other mods without issues. If they don't please post your feedback in this thread. Here's a quick overview of what is changed: Unchanged: Fixed/Modified/Removed: Added: Screenshots: Notes: Special thanks to: - @Windwalking for his awesome mod. - @Muzzleflash for helping me with showing objects on the map and also teaching me a lot about scripting. He's one of the best guys on this forum. - @mad_cheese for allowing me to use the "Bounding Box" function used in his legendary mod, C2. - and everyone else who kindly answered all my questions on the forum. Disclaimer: I can't guarantee this mod is completely harmless. Please back up your ARMA 3 directory located in the "Documents" folder (C:\Users\YOUR_PC_NAME\Documents\) prior to using this mod (especially the file *.vars.Arma3Profile and the "saved" folder because they are the only files that may be affected). Multiplayer support is in alpha state and not fully tested yet. Dear Moderators, The current release still uses the scripts from the original version. Also, to avoid some conflicts, I had to rename the global variables. If you think this mod is still not in compliance with forum rules please let me know to come up with a solution (you can PM me or post it here). By installing this patch, the original mod will be disabled (If you want me to leave it enabled please leave a feedback and I'll re-enable it).

It's because some users reported they had trouble setting up WW AI Menu (mostly because of FilePatching used in WW AI Menu, which complicated things), so I decided not to make it necessary to have this mod. A couple of such reports:

I want to make a Mission with multiple Zeus. But when I place two virtual Zeus units and sync them with a Game Master Module each and sync these GameMaster Modules with the GameMaster Module (the one from Gamemodes) the second Zeus cant place anything exept for Markers. Is this a bug or is there any way to fix this? Both virtual Units have a different variable name and are set as owners of the two GameMaster modules.

I'm hosting a Zeus mission in the future and I want to allow players to be able to respawn. However, I don't want a timed respawn and I want them to respawn as a group. I don't want them to respawn individually. The reinforcements would respawn back in the base whilst the rest of the unit is fighting. The reason I want to do manual reinforcement respawns for my players is so that I can wait for an appropriate amount of players to die before respawning all of them at a time that's convenient. How could I set this up to where I could perform a reinforcement respawn whilst playing as Zeus? How can I do this?

You can now win the mission by reducing enemy strength to less than 30. Original post: Hello, Im pleased to release the beta of my first mission based on HETMAN NR6 edition. https://steamcommunity.com/id/MACK_MACK_MACK/myworkshopfiles/?appid=107410 There are two versions including a dedicated server compatible version with support for a single headless client as well as a single player version. The headless client is managed via Whertles Headless Script. My aim is using the awesome HETMAN NR6 script to create a real time large scale dynamic battle. Please note my scripting knowledge is virtually non existent and this is my first mission for a dedicated server. I have managed to get it all to work however I suspect there are better methods I could use. Any feedback is appreciated. Please read the description on the workshop page. Best Regards Mack

Hi so I'm trying do do a mission where players will face a zeus with limited powers. The set units and vehicles costs module works fine with vanilla assets but not with units from RHS AFRF. On the wiki I've found this solution: myCurator addEventHandler [ "CuratorObjectRegistered", { _classes = _this select 1; _costs = []; { _cost = if (_x isKindOf "Man") then {[true,0.1]} else {[false,0]}; // Show only objects of type "Man", hide everything else _costs = _costs + [_cost]; } forEach _classes; // Go through all classes and assign cost for each of them _costs } ]; it works but only sets the cost of infantry units. I have changed it to: ZeusMaster addEventHandler [ "CuratorObjectRegistered", { _classes = _this select 1; _costs = []; { _cost = if (_x isKindOf "Man") then {[true,0.01]} else {[true,0.05]}; // CHANGED the else part _costs = _costs + [_cost]; } forEach _classes; // Go through all classes and assign cost for each of them _costs } ]; which sets the cost of all infantry units to 0.01 and all other objects to 0.05 but i can't change the cost further (i'd like to have cars < helicopters < tanks costs) for example. I've tried adding lines like _cost = if (_x isKindOf "Air") then {[true,0.01]} I've tried removing the " else {[true,0.05]};" part when doing that but it doesn't work... What am I doing wrong? Also I've already limited the access to addons for the zeus player but I'd also like to limit available factions and I don't know if it's possible...

So, I have recently setup a Zeus mission, everything is great, it works well. But, with a editing area set (In this case around the airfield of the zeus' team so they can only spawn in stuff on the airfield) I have now lost the ability to middlemouse teleport my camera around the map. Is there any solution for this, any work around?

Hey guys, as i bought the Creator DLC, i first edited the new Wefelingen map in the EDEN Editor for a little nice base for my ZEUS missions. When i had it finished, i uploaded it to my Nitrado Server via FileZilla. As i joined in the lobby, the lobby started "flashing" with errors in the bottom left corner. I already put the "-mod:gm" in the modification field. And i tried it again with no assets or other buildings. I simply have the spawn and the roles on the map. I tried it with the winter map and the normal map. As i cant edit the files i dont know how to fix it. The only mods i have loaded are: - Achilles - CBA_A3 I hope you can help me 🙂

There are a few known issues with Public, Official Zeus servers (And also the overall zeus interface), that I hope can be addressed by developers: 1. (Semi-Significant, brought up a lot) The USS Liberty, or any static DLC Ship is impossible to spawn through the Zeus interface. This negatively impacts gameplay as an Official Zeus cannot expand upon the usage of DLC content. 2. (Significant) Server stability is extremely bad, with every server needing a full restart once every 3-4 hours or endure terrible performance and possible crashes. Nothing the Zeus does can fix performance at this point, no matter what is deleted. 3. (Minor) After a vehicle has been used by a player, the Zeus is unable to rotate it. 4. (Semi-Significant) There is no way (at least from what I've gathered), of effectively rotating an object so that it remains even with other objects. An option to rotate by specific degree amounts would be much appreciated. 5. (Significant) Vote kick requirements are way too extreme. It can be nearly impossible to kick griefers or well-known trolls if a few members of the server do not understand how to vote kick properly. Another solution that I propose is to have a better indicator of how to participate in the vote kick when it is started. 6. (Significant) There is no way for an admin to at least temporarily ban a certain player from rejoining the game. This means that especially determined griefers can continuously rejoin the game over and over in order to take up time from the game. A temporary ban option (from that specific server) would be highly appreciated. That's all I've got for now, there's more, but I cannot recall it all at this time. I will be making additional posts as more issues are discovered.

Hi, I have close to 800 hours in ARMA myself but here's the situation: We're having a little LAN at work and to my surprise ARMA3 is getting some votes in the game selection (#2 just after Overwatch). This raises the challenge how to run ARMA as a one-shot thing with people who likely are completely new to the game. The Bootcamp can be great in introducing the very basics but we're talking of quite busy people who might not have the time to go through anything like that on their own. They are more or less gamers and generally bright people so they might pick up things quick on the go - most of them I don't know that well however to assess their exact capability. Everybody being in the same room and focusing on the game can help too. Was thinking of writing a little info blurb with just a few pointers how this game is different from your regular shooter and pointing them to the Bootcamp so some at least can pick up things beforehand and educate the others. Also making it co-op removes much of the skill gap and can provide for a nice change of pace in the LAN. Keeping it simple is a must, then again multicrew vehicles is something where ARMA shines and just driving and fooling around in a ground vehicle is quite easy and fun to do. I would think Zeus mode, or can I find fun missions that are easy to set up and easy to play for total newbies? Zeus would provide the advantage of adapting on the fly and setting both the content+challenge level to group specifications. I do have experience with the editor but I'm new to Zeus myself, I've been glancing at it and thinking it's a great tool - I used to play it while I was new - but the time to prepare is very short now. We could make it a simple scenario in semi-open terrain + towns, most probably Altis as that's the map most familiar to me and it's commonly played, also very different locations available. Assuming 7-8 players I'd break it into 3 fire teams: motorized recon (1-3 experienced players), an armored component (eg. tigris, MBT, APC with 2 or 3 people), motorized rifle squad (everybody else, mostly newbies). There's probably around 2-3 hours we can spend on the whole experience. Running Zerty's Mod with the right settings could be an idea, as I'm familiar with the mode and it exposes much of the game. We'd be taking over one town after the other and building our force. The enemies mostly would be stupid bots with some vehicle support (they would have APC etc). This way everyone would get to play and there would be a challenge to rise to, the experienced players would pull more of the game though. The challenge wouldn't really scale up but it's a short exercise anyway and in just a couple of hours we could get to running around with various ground vehicles or even commanding bots (it gets tricky in this territory though). Zerty's has a couple of its own mechanisms like factories with build queues, town mechanics, economy and bases so some people involved could get bogged down by those (IMO you could mostly just ignore them and tail the rest of the group). In terms of training, I think we need to cover: The basics of handling the game (gear selection, context menu, what to expect) How to operate with infantry (using cover, stances, locating enemies or rather the difficulty of it) How to hit things with firearms (eg. holding shift, selecting your engagement range, weapon types, bullet drop/zeroing, short bursts) Any special roles people want to try out (sniper weapons, ATGM, vehicle gunners) I will need to have another look at the WarMachine mode as that might provide just what we need, but in a more simple format. Any other ideas, concerns or suggestions?

I am trying to put together a trigger which gives Zeus points every time a truck goes between two points on the map (Like a supply line). If one Zeus is playing as the OPFOR team, they must spawn a Tempest Ammo truck and tell it to Cycle between two points (Point A and Point B). If the truck is spawned at Point A, the Zeus must order it to go to Point B, once it reaches Point B it must then be ordered to turn around and go back to Point A before Zeus points are added to that team. The Zeus can have multiple trucks going back and forth to add up Zeus points more quickly. I have managed to work out how to make the triggers active when a certain Vehicle type has entered the trigger, but I am having trouble working out how to get the supply point triggers working properly.
