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??
I knew when I played Arma 2. It never gets far enough to be popular though.
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.
It's out steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2932697000
@@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. th-cam.com/video/4indidwMO_o/w-d-xo.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.
lol war leak is here wtf
@@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.
@@WarLeaker when will you uploading arma 3 war leak footages?
This gives a whole new view on the game. Would be extremely sick to see this grow.
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.
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
That was a textbook assault on a fortified position- beautiful!
Oh hell yes, this looks awesome !
Thank you Jack !
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.
@@jacktheviper1623 do they actually follow orders now tho?
@@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.
@@jacktheviper1623 Has your mod been released? I really want to get my hands on it
@@cadendevault2102 Yes.
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2932697000&tscn=1676936702
Absolutely brilliant! Gonna be testing this out and will probably add this to the standard rotation for the mods used by my Unit
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!
It's already out. Mod link is in the description.
@@spectralassassin6030 Thanks man, was so excited I missed it lol
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.
Looks great and fantastic use of the most basic tactics of the US Infantry. Nicely done.
Seeing the enemy helmet fly off a the end was just great
Im gonna redownload arma3 because of this. Great job 👍
he even gave the ceasefire hand signal lol
This is actually amazing, looks super promising
Ooh, seems pretty good, this might be the main reason I play Arma this year lol
Arma RTS, the game we never knew we needed
WOW! Well done jack, earned a sub ;)
man you are doing better than the developer even in arma reforged there is no such functionality just incredible!!!
wow great work man i cant imagine how long this took
Congratulations. You made it
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
So cool. Great to see after platoon leader was abandoned
I've been waiting for such a thing
When you want to play Zeus but have no friends
damn that good it's like if the unit listen to you when your are in zeus
Man been a while since i play arma seeing these mods makes me want to install it! This mod is cool hope it works with DUWS X
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.
Very good work!
Imagine squad of players (fps) vs squad of npcs controlled by player(rts)
I would definitely enjoy that mod
You can!
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2932553472
This could single handedly destroy EVERY RTS there ever was
Now this is epic
I really love your work man thats why i like & subscribe anyway how about rts version but zombie vs army that would be awesome for sure 🤩
Thanks a lot, you are cool.
Stay tuned, there are many scenarios that can be created with this mod.
This has a lot of potential
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.
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.
looks pretty good
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
This is awesome!
I might need to play this
I've been dying to relieve World in Conflict's experience & this may just be it but on a crazy scale
Interesting concept! :)
Wow Killer Mod !
Fog of War would be a nice feature.
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 !
Thanks for the feedback, that's a neat idea, I can look into it, although I'm a bit afraid it could make the units less visible from a distance.
@@jacktheviper1623 we also got units Tags, isn't it? I believe you can see the tags on wargame RD, right ?😃
@@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.
Holy shit I NEED this so badly.
oh yeah, this is so good
Cool, people can make jagged alliance esque games and things simmilar to graviteam tactics
Wow this is awesome
Incredible
Now I have to download arma again damn :D
So great!! Thanks for the mod. Please, are u using a sound mod there? Thanks again. Subscribed 🤘
Nice Job!!!!
You make me want to reinstall ARMA 3 again :D my dreammm
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 :)
Men of War series
Ah finally, thanks a lot
I can make missions as Zeus with my teammates using this to use the enemy opfor?? This is AMAZING. This is the IA Arma deserved
Yes, you can make missions to play as Zeus against players using this.
I made an example mission:
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2932553472
wow jack is so epic and based now
HOLLYWOOD IS ON THE MOVE.
*The new Men of War looks great...*
If you had told me in 2006 that Company of Heroes 3 would be released in 2023 this is the level of detail I would have imagined.
Can you do a mod overview. I'm really interested in this mod. But I wanna see what it all brings to the table.
This is very great work. By any chance do you know if the devkit for Reforger allows the same thing to be done on there?
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.
@@jacktheviper1623 thanks for the reply, one quick follow up, do Arma systems implement a vanilla pathfinding process, or is it custom to them?
Amazing
looks super good, what mod are you using for the us army faction?
Cold War Rearmed, it's a really well made mod.
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2316343124
I always handled ARMA like a detailed RTS when Zeuzing mission for my friends.
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
damn i really want arma 3 now
OMG!!! AMAZING!!!!
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 would love to see a gamemode that is an endless wave survival mode like mud and blood flash game using this mod
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
You can use the - key on your keyboard to slowdown time when playing in single player.
Can we change the assets of pre existing missions? I.E. this mission but the units are ww2, modern day ect ect?
The mod is compatible with modded factions, if you know how to use the ARMA 3 editor you can make any mission using it.
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.
Rimmey must hear of this
nice job
Wow ! Nice !
Hello, amazing work this is so cool mod I love it, wondering how I can create scenarios to use this mod any thips?
how do you make the npcs not move and not run in all directions
I find Call to arms with mods a bit better but this also looks good
I really enjoy Men of War and Call to Arms too, but with this I always trying to make something more similar to Close Combat or Combat Mission.
Выглядит очень хорошо, хотел бы попробовать. Обычный зевс не даёт таких возможностей управления, а Зевс будто бы и делался для RTS
How do I use the mod? I tried in the editor, but it didn’t work.
Does this mod work without having to use Zeus to manually pointout targets?
Welp, time to redownload ARMA for the 9001th time
Nice
Yessssss! ❤
hope we could have player commander in online to give orders to ground units in multiplayer games like the main mecanic of natural selection 2
I love this and I too will reinstall Arma 3 thanks to this. Can it work with Hetman artificial leader? Also what other mods are in this? What map is that? And that russian armor doesn't look like Red Hammer Studios...where does it come from? Thanks a lot for this.
US units from Cold war rearmed, the maps and East Germans are from Global Mobilization CDLC.
Can I quick play as the units as well?
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.
Yes, that's possible: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2932553472
looks like Combat Mission but better, sign me in.
Thanks a lot, I love the Combat Mission games.
Took the words out of my mouth! Love combat mission but it definitely has its faults
Siiiiiick!
would you like to make a tutorial on how to do it so that everything works? for example, what mods do I need, etc
Yes, I'll make a more detailed videos explaining how the mechanics work, but right now I'm still updating the basic mechanics and fixing things up, stay tuned so you don't miss it when it comes out!
It would be great if there was a tutorial, I tried some things for several hours,when I try to open the menu it doesn't work, I don't know why, I'm probably doing something wrong or I don't know, for sure I wouldn't be the only one who would appreciate a tutorial,
and thanks for the answer :)
@@z1dan999 When you press T the menu doesn't open?
Make sure you have CBA and the mod is updated.
@@jacktheviper1623I'll go check it out today, but I'm going to sleep, and thanks for the answer
@@jacktheviper1623
yes, I have the mod and it doesn't show any update that I'm missing
So does this make the AI actually listen like if I tell the APC to hold will it hold its position and not move away? same with infantry? Also is it compatible with AI mods? Because this looks epic.
Yes, the main thing about this mod is getting more control over the AI units in Zeus.
You can use LAMBS for the enemy units, but it will be disabled for your own.
this mod dosent work for me, could anyone help?.. when i activate zeus i cant spawn anything but the list wont show up
Go in the addon options menu and uncheck the "Hide Zeus interface" option then exit and enter zeus mode again to see the normal zeus interface and the create menu.
do you think this would work well with antistasi or would there be conflict.
I don't think it conflicts, but you won't get all the features because they require some setting up, I want to create a Dynamic campaign generator in the future.
@@jacktheviper1623 Skirmish would be cool :D I love it
@@Roman9441 I made a couple experimental PVP scenarios.

this looks nice but are u able to take control of the ai ?
Okay but here’s the real question, does it work with things like the warhammer and halo mods?
they should have had this instead of the vannila zues controls... awesome
