+Jester814 can you use the zeus mode to set up a normal mission, then delete the module and everything will be left? or destroyed?

Jester814 As usual Jester, great video! I spent the better part of last night trying to find details an setting up Zeus and was more confused than when I started. Any chance we can talk you into doing future Zeus videos going into details on the other Zeus related modules? Thanks again for a great video.

Jester814 Hello thx for the great video but i have a problem while trying to go in the game i get some sort of an error when i click on the preview button after syncing the zeus with the player !! ( i get : No entry 'bin\Config.Bin\CfgPatches.stkr_l129a1 ) Can u help me !?
Best tutorial ever bro thx so much for posting this , you post best videos appreciate them keep em coming, enjoyed ur Skyrim live stream. Great seeing people playing classics
When you were calling in CAS and Arty at the end, this all reminded me of World in Conflict, it definitely gave off that esk, rather nostalgic for me
Excellent intro vid, Jester :) Loving your work, keep it up...your videos are keeping me sane in my baby induced gaming hiatus! :)
I love your instructional videos Jester. Thanks man.
"Zeus frowns upon cowardice." *BOOM BOOM BOOM.* I love you already. -Valk
A 2018 Up dated version of this video would help so many trooper out there. Jester814; I gave been following you for 4 years, I have not been on face book looking for you; but you have skills. I am just honored to be able to find what I need and go right back into combat. I have a book which was started in 1999 when I got into arma 3 to help other player live in the world of .
The 3D editor in this looks freaking sweet remember fighting like hell in Arma 2 to get the 3D version to work when porting the save over to the 2d editor
"I don't think they made it" xD funniest part of that vid by far! Keep it up man
Yes! Finally learned how to change altitude! Thanks :D
This really helped thanks
This is so much fun to use, with so many possibilities.

Thanks a lot for the help dude
Thx man. Very helpfull video!
Great video, you are aweasome
Very nice thanks bud
Thanks for the vid
i definitely agree with your camp ideas i would like to add 1.being able to select the faction that are going to be in the camp before you put the camp down 2.being able to download user created camps
Awesome! I recently tried ZEUS with one of my mods, the Canadian Forces Mod (excellent mod by the way, you should try it out), and all its assets work perfectly thus far with the ZEUS editor.
Yay!!!!! More tactical lightning. ;D
I really wish they make a 3D mission editor based on the Zeus editor, that would make creating custom missions so much easier and interactive in some ways...
I do hope they give us a way to save template missions like in the vanilla editor. But man, this is incredible!
Thank you for explaining how to set this up. Is there or will there be a way to save these missions in the future.
Thank you
Jester I'm not sure if you discovered it yet or not but you can activate NV mode while in Zeus by pressing the button you use to activate your NVGs while playing in night missions.
Nice tutorial man. I finaly figured out how to use it :D The showcase is damn stupid giving tasks not telling how to do it..XD
@MichaelEastor

Well it is a showcase not a tutorial, they are different things
Being able to save models would be nice. Build a FOB, select it all, right click or something to save. Then later on you have a little drop down of all your saved "models".
I already can see myself go full-"Matrix" mode on the enemy AI. :D
If you use a mod called "mcc sandbox" (which by the way work in a similiar way as zeus to instantly create missions) you could use zeus to first build the map/mission however you want to, then go to your playable character. Once in-game you scroll the middle-mouse and get mcc sandbox. Click on it to open it and enter the sandbox editor window. There you can save your mission like you would with a regular game, with everything allready positioned on the map. So one could use zeus as a way to first build the mission (if one finds that easier to use than mcc sandbox itself) and then save the intire thing using mcc sandbox. This, ofc, if you've installed the mod. One thing I've found though is that once you re-open the saved mission using sandbox, it will not detect the allready placed units on the map that you created with zeus. They will still be there, but not recognizable as icons or markers. But units that you have placed using mcc sandbox will still be visible on the map. The good thing is that the mcc sandbox mod also works with other mods that you use (units, helicopters, planes etc). In the mcc sandbox editor window, you can use the map and place "zones" wherever you want, then choose different options if you want the mod to create a mission instantly for you (randomly placed units in the zone with a random mission - secure or kill HVT, infiltrate base, steal documents etc) or if you want to place units manually. I like the mcc sandbox, and find the camera angles of zeus a little frustrating to work with but to each their own. But one thing I've allways disliked is the stupid AI. No matter if you create your mission through Zeus or mcc sandbox, they're too damn stupid, and vehicles for example seldom stick to the roads. I would hope that Bohemia would come up with a fix for this, or rather that they improve upon this in a future ArmA game.
very helpful, thanks.

Jester814 How familiar are you at setting up point or triggers that deal with time? Such as skipping ahead or reverting back to a point in the story.
Can Zeus be used as a 3D Mission Editor?
So what happens if the player linked to zeus gets killed when in the zeus interface?
i was never keen on the mission editor but i figure if you know how to use it might it be possible to make a film of shorts with ais reactions as the base
why cant i save with zues? i made my base and stuff then wanted to lay down some shit inside buildings and units and the when i hit save it did nothing and everytihng was gone when i came back
Hey, Jester i've got to say over the past two weeks these tutorials have seriously helped me out on getting to know the ArmA 3 Mission Editor. Nice Job. I've been wondering though - since there is still no 3D editor live in ArmA 3 it's a pain to keep previewing the mssion to ensure that buildings and fortifications are in the right place. Could we use the Zeus as some form of supplement to a 3D editor? And would all the elements placed remain there after you exit?

Hey, Jester, do you know if Zeus items exist as objects/assets (are they place-able in editor) or are they generated on the fly with scripts? (I'd like to use the CAS air strike on a map click without giving access to all of Zeus, but can't figure it out).
great fucking video! everything I needed to know
Man, I was crying laughing at that barrage of man and God power on that unlucky squad. ZEUS FROWNS UPON COWARDICE
i never knew you were a radio operator, that enplanes your precise spacial awareness call outs in game. Was your time in the Army fulfilling?
when i am in the ediotr and place a unit, my fps drops to 1 fps.. only in the editor screen
Please help, when i click PREVIEW in editor it says: No entry confing.bin bla bla bla. How to fix this?
How do you use the AI Helis and jets that stay in constantly and the UAVS that you can spawn in?
Hey Jester, I'm not sure if you'll still respond to comments on an oldish video like this, but I'm a new sub, and I was wondering with you could make a tutorial on how to add AI radio text chatter (no audio) into your editor missions. I've tried lots of different ways and none seem to work.
game keeps getting stuck at load screen, and theres no keybind for Zeus in the full release version.
when i do this and i load the game i get to see config bin/cfgpaches.sud_GW_wpn so i can't use zeus, how do i fix that??
Hey Drum you think the mod will allow you to upload your own music into the audio modules. Just think about it you could play any song at the right moment to make it like a movie or just for emersion.
In military jargon, running away is known as a tactical withdrawal just the same as hiding is taking cover.

hey jester: is zeus going to improve AI intelligence and make player vs. AI more realistic, more like player vs.player?
Can you use Zeus to build a Camp and then use the Site Module in the editor to man the buildings? :-)
Could we use this like the 3d editor, then save it to MP so we could play as we used to? Cheers

Hello man. I'm a bit lost. I want to play with friend. So we go on tunngle and start playing with arma3server. But we don't have any mod. Do you know how to had mod ?

Does anyone know if Shay_gman is involved in Zeus? The resemblance to MCC is uncanny.
They need this functionality in the actual mission editor. Then this game would be perfect
Chemlight + smoke at night looks awesome, and makes the smoke visible. If you select a group of units, hold control and click as if grouping or ungrouping individual units, it will do so for all units selected. Awesome tutorial, I learned a few things that I'd missed on the dev build :) Anyone know how to make a helicopter land using zeus? I can't figure this out, if it is even possible.

Awwwww man, MP is going to get so much better :D When the GM takes control of a soldier, can it be a MP player? For instance can a GM drop a MP player that's being a troll into a jail for example? Since apparently hitting them with lightning doesn't seem to work very well.
I feel like they should have put a few more features into Zeus before they released it.
