You don’t understand how much I’ve wanted arma to have a rts aspect. Something with the Zeus module that can be done solo instead of making missions for other players, today is a great day
Bro where can I test this. Have you considered to release it? Just saw that you are the one who created the Zeus Targeting Mod. I use this a lot. Have you ever tried working with several invisible targets for some sort of area suppression? I think it is even possible to set up doctrinal ambushes with it using triggers as killzones that spawn invisible targets close to each other so everything within the area gets blasted.
@@jacktheviper1623 I just tested it. It works pretty well but the assault task does not work for me. It always says no grenades available. Tested with Vanilla und CWR units. With Zeus enhanced they throw the grenades. I also really like the dig in feature. I had the same thing in mind when I was thinking about such an mod. It is really awesome as a proof of concept and definitly worth expanding. This guy did something similiar but as script version and not based on zeus. He has implemented a spotting system and his framework is on Github for everyone to use. ruclips.net/video/4indidwMO_o/видео.html Tested it again fire support gives me an error message and occupy building is also bugged. I will test it again without mods to make sure no mod is ruining it but for AI I have only Lambs_Supression and CF_Bai loaded.
@@RedCommissar haha like every Arma video I comment on gets at least one of these comments. Haha I am a huge fan since Operation Flashpoint. I am the Tasmanian Devil man.
Amazing work man. I hope you are a COH fan as well. I hope you are able you are allowed to remote control units and be in the battle. I need you to release this and I'll use the existing Green Army Men mod to bring back my love for Army Men RTS!
Hey, that's pretty good. Gonna be a real game changer for how a lot of people play ARMA. Was this particularly difficult? And is the individual soldier AI changed at all?
I wouldn't say it was that difficult as I enjoyed coming up with the gameplay mechanics and design for the mod, but it took a year approximately and a few thousand lines of code, the AI is tweaked to some extent, but it isn't that complex.
@@DevotevoLynx Yes! That's the main change, there's also a hold fire option that you can use to make them sneak around or retreat even under fire instead of staying there.
This looks great! Only concern is mico with large scale battles, i feel like it would be tough to have a wargame sized battle with this much micro. (e.g. suppress, attack, etc)
You are right, that's a pretty important concern for every tactical game, I made this mod optimized for Platoon to Company level engagements, but you can easily scale things up, the context menus remove a lot of microing and in single player missions you can reduce the game speed by using the - key.
@@jacktheviper1623 Neat! Ill need to check out the mod, but ive always wanted an arma experience of multiple people on both sides attempting to dominate statis, like at a wargame size and fluidity, and this is getting much closer. Great work man!
@@jacktheviper1623 about more large scale battles: I placed 4 Zeuses(coop) and we had 85-100 bots under our control against 100-140 AI, and things were bad: Tanks didn’t shoot other tanks 5 meters away, infantry didn’t fire at bots around/among them, they didn’t not obey orders(occupy building and etc) Also I mentioned that “target” thing do not work properly ( on vehicles 100%,testes this with 1 tank against another tank, nothing else were in scenario)- they look in direction of the enemy for 1-2 seconds and after that just doing their things, and do not engage the target I gave them
@@argetlumkek3801 Due to the way arma 3 works, when you have a very high number of AI units at the same time they are going to become increasingly less capable depending on how powerful your computer is, you'd need to set up a dedicated server and headless clients to get the best performance, still the mod works well for platoon level engagements which is the intended scale. As for the 'target' option, it works, but it's not instant, it gives knowledge about the target to the AI unit, but the unit will take a moment to process that information, I'll look into ways to increase the responsiveness, if arma 3 limitations allow it.
@@argetlumkek3801 I looked at the 'target' function and actually found a way to greatly improve it, I look forward to further feedback, the mod is quite complex and it's bound to contain some mistakes. Thanks a lot.
This is amazing, I really want an rts with advanced infantry tactics, the closest thing is the men of war saga and its successors, but the AI is a bit silly and allows itself to be killed, I want to be able to give them orders like suppression and flanking fire
The mod is based off of a popular franchise known as Combat Mission. If you're looking for something closely resembling Arma 3, look no further than Combat Mission: Black Sea.
No way, there is just no way that you're telling me that i can play ARMA 3 like this without a single issue?? No.... I'm gonna cry i think. It's not true You are a goddamn genius, 300 IQ mod right there
Yes, you can make missions to play as Zeus against players using this. I made an example mission: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2932553472
I love this mod ! and If you can remove square green line of units, it'll be more immersive, just like real Wargame RD. I'll love it more ! thank you buddy !
@@jacktheviper1623 What.. you did not even plan to get rid of the green boxes around the units. That would be a mistake. I thought it was only for testing purposes. The units already have an icon. So don't see the need for the boxes around them. Also would be nice to be able to toggle the icons on and off.
@@WinchesterDelta1 These visual elements are needed to improve visibility during gameplay, if you want a cleaner view, you can press BACKSPACE to toggle the entire interface off.
i cant wait to build up my base and start producing vehicles and then watch them drive into eachother after they spawn and fling themselves halfway across the map
I don't know if you or anybody will see this but ever since Zeus/editor was introduced to arma way back then I already said to myself "Yeah this could be a highly detailed rts game if somebody tried" and now this, I'm surprised nobody thought of treating it like an rts game till now.
unfortunate arma has limitations if u play enough of this gamemode u will c for yourself. a old friend and i made a gameode just like this to play and it had many issues mainly to do wit the ai. they stop working after so many untis r placed, dead or alive. a cleanup script helped us with that a bit but inevitably there were other issues. like how the ai wont follow road on none arma maps. if its a map form the workshop that is not from a past arma game or made specifically by the devs of arma the ai wont work
@@spencer6822 It's true that there are limitations to how many AI units you can have at the same time, but you don't really need 200 units around, the mod is balanced around platoon level operations. They do follow roads on custom maps just fine unless the map wasn't properly created.
good work! congrats buddy! I tried to do this own my own some years ago but arma's scripting language drove me mad lol, so I know it must have been quite a challenge to get this working.
If only you could fix arma 3s fps problem other than that amazing work i have over 2k hours in arma since 2015 and honestly ive never seen anything quite like this
This may be a goofy question and may already be able to be accomplished in Arma 3, but I'd like to ask anyways. Assuming there ends up being some kind of dynamic singleplayer/co-op availability for this mod, it would only need one more thing to essentially be something I've wanted all my life, a military RTS that you can control individual soldiers in. With that being said, is there plans for a feature, or a way in Arma 3 already to select units you are commanding in the RTS mod, and sort of swap to a "boots on the ground" POV and assume control of an individual soldier on foot or in a vehicle? I know there are ways to accomplish similar results, but just curious, exciting mod regardless and nice work :)
I don't know that much about the Reforger tools yet, I'm waiting to see what kind of systems they are going to implement and what the AI will be like before getting into it.
Very nice, i see you speed up time. Can you actually stop the time to lets say spawn more troops like some RTS? always wanted to stop time in Arma editor
Now I need to know if you can have one team be the top down commander, and another team be a platoon of regular players, both for pvp (does it still count as pvp if the enemy team is just one guy controlling the units?) And for co-op missions. To be clear, I know you can already sort of do this just by telling the regular AI what to do while you watch a platoon full of peeps runs around the map, but it obviously doesn't control anything like a real RTS when you do it that way.
Who knew the best RTS of all time was already here under our noses this whole time
My thouths exactly
Yep, StarCraft 2 bab5
But to use it what key's to press i already installed it in games folder but how to make it work??
This gives a whole new view on the game. Would be extremely sick to see this grow.
You don’t understand how much I’ve wanted arma to have a rts aspect. Something with the Zeus module that can be done solo instead of making missions for other players, today is a great day
This is amazing. What about making a Hidden and dangerous kind of mission using these mechanics. Because it seems the AI actually listens now.
Hidden and dangerous is such an amazing game, stealth missions are possible with this mod, even Commandos style missions.
That was a textbook assault on a fortified position- beautiful!

I've been waiting for such a thing
When you want to play Zeus but have no friends
Im gonna redownload arma3 because of this. Great job 👍
This could single handedly destroy EVERY RTS there ever was
Been waiting for Arma 3 RTS, Zeus is already implemented, If Bohemia could just do it and sell it they could've makes tons of money from it.
