Great guide, I've been building SP ops with Zeus and Arma Commander for that RTS feel. I look forward to the 2nd part of this, there's so much to learn it's crazy.
This is an incredibly useful channel to watch while learning zeus. Production quality made me suprised to see your low subscriber count man. You deserve more attention.
@@Xyrage Thank you very much so basically I can make a small war using all of that against NPCs I would like to make it the hardest map ever, including navel and helicopters and tanks and jets a special black projects like UFOs etc like the TR-3E. I want to have regular players going up against like 500 npcs etc.
I unfortunately cant play ARMA but I've always had a love for it!! seein the Zeus menus and how complicated it looks was always overwhelming!! I would say this is a help!!
I just Got to Arma and been playing for a month so far, After I figured out you can make your own scenarios and custom Ai’s I told myself I need to learn how to use Zeus. Your video is the second Video I came across and so far been the easiest and useful one from the previous video (Won’t mention who), I’m very lucky to come across this. It’s rare to find any sort of tutorials. You deserve more attention, and also great work! 🔥👍
I feel like I’m watching operatorDrewski or War is Hell this is such a good tutorial, though the beginning I found odd as you can just go to multiplayer, host, choose the Zeus game mode, make sure it’s on internet and not LAN and boom your anzues other then that which I found odd great video super helpful, can’t wait till you upload another Zeus Operation.
Thanks for your compliment! Also; Yes, but that way you cannot use Eden for set dressing (placing down objects). My next operation will be up at the end of the week!
I'm hoping to buy arma 3 one day and I've always loved watching people zeus and I'd love too, thank you. Edit: I've gotten arma 3 and I've zeused for a few units as well as vanilla server zeusing, great tutorial my man.
Hey Xyrage, I really enjoyed this vid. Definitely one of the best on explaining Zeus. I’m looking forward to the next part - I assume that’s still in the works? I couldn’t find it when I searched… Thanks heaps, mate!
Hi Glenn, Next part has been on a bit of a hold, planning on taking it a few steps further with an advanced series. Very much still in the making though.
You can enter Zeus as a name. Just name the unit and the module the same. Alternative is going through ace zeus settings in addon settings and self interact.
How come when I go into Eden Editor, my player AI and other players' AI icons arent apparent. There's no way I can heal them or link groups to them. -(thanks in advance) UPDATE: I figured it out. I credit Valk for his help on the Steam forums. 1. Go to Attributes 2. Go to General 3. Scroll down to Misc. (Where you change the Independent allegiance) 4. Click 'Editable Objects (Zeus)' 5. Save. P.S Great Video Xyrage! two thumbs up and a subscription.
maybe I missed it but you didn't mention that your Arma is a modded version and not vanilla. For example without mods Zeus Enhanced and Eden enhanced all items are not editable straight up unless it's set in Eden (using Eden enhanced) or adding specific modules prior to loading the scenario.
Hi@@Xyrage this video is awesome and is an amazing new Zeus guide. Thanks for posting it! I'm starting an Arma unit with a group of friends (15-20 people) and was wondering if you'd be able to share your guys' mod list. If not, any recommendations for a modern warfare setting would be super appreciated! Thanks!
Hi Xyrage, Fantastic; to be sure, thank you so very, very much for this! I've played for hours and hours in Arma, both in scenario editor and multiplayer with friends. Having said that, I'm now moving into 'Zeusing', so this was just the tonic. I've checked out your uploaded video list; indeed, it may be my incompetence, but I couldn't find the follow up intermediate tutorial. With that in mind, is a follow up on the cards? Thanks again!
Great to hear! Appreciate your comment. I haven't gotten around to making the follow up part (yet). Hoping I will in the future. Anything in particular you'd like to see in such a video?
@@Xyrage I was lookin for the same thing. Not looking for anything in particular though. Just the info you were wanting to do for intermediate and advanced Zeus stuff. I have ideas but need the building blocks on how to implement them. Great basics video though.
Thank you, I am very late buying Arma 3. I've been experimenting with Zeus for SP and sandbox mode for me, this video just cleared up alot for me thank you. P.s. One question if you dont mind. I put a respawn point down, but when I die it ends the game and I have to load, or it takes me all the way back to Mission Editor. I am watching your other videos, but is Zeus not really meant to be used for the reason I'm using it? If it helps I am usually playing with OpFor units. Thanks.
The only thing I would do differently is just try to let the AI use the arty themselves a zues deleting some recon pos with a 150mm howitzer isn't fair
Depending on how you go at it, the AI is very inconsistent in the use of artillery. Lambs does a decent job with check rounds and fire-for-effect firemissions, but a lot of the times I'd rather have control over what's happening than leave it to the AI. In the end there's no "fair" in my book, the Zeus is there to facilitate for the players, make a fun mission. Obviously deleting a recon team with a 155 is no fun.
Hello! I came across your video only recently and have been looking into scenario building for me and my buddies. your specific AI module doesn't appear for me regardless of how ive installed both the ACE and LAMBS setups/ you mentioned in another comment you use a modpack for your server. is their a separate mod you use for that module? also thank you for the concise explanations of the modules. saves me time from having to just figure it out myself
Thanks for your comment! The modpack we use in our community only adds equipment and vehicles, no modules to Zeus. Make sure you enable all addons (including unofficial ones) when using the game master module! Lmk if it works!
@@Xyrage I actually just ended up joining the disc and combed through the modpack there. Found it in the enhanced Zeus mod along with crows. Appreciate it tho
Can you control a group using Zeus that is already put in the map(group), before you start Zeus? Like, I put some random group, start the mission, acces Zeus and give commands to that group I placed before starting Zeus? I hope you will understand what I am talking about. Thanks😊
Less steep of a learning curve for reforger, but in its current state its less capable than what we have in ARMA 3. Obviously, as its been modded for many years.
@@Xyrage yes it is not as expanded or at the capabilities of what Zeus from Arma 3 can do but its way more user friendly.Also the roadmap includes some big changes for Game Master.
Hey man, great tutorial, but are there any ways on how I can turn Zeus ai into players with full squad commands or be able to switch from ai to ai with one button, or anyway on how I can make helis land and assign objectives to ai, if there is a tutorial you have about that, that would be great. Thanks.
That makes things a bit complicated. Switching with 1 button is not possible, go into zeus and control the next. Kunnen Helis sometimes need a helipad, you can use the invisible helipad to make them an lz. Another option is using the simplex support mod, really nice mod. Assign objectives to AI? You can make them do all the stuff in the list (double click the way point) with varying levels of success. There may be mods/scenarios to play what you're looking for!
To gain access to all modules from mods you need to enable addons (including unofficial ones). Also, some settings may be disabled through options>configure>configure addons>drop down to ACE Zeus, for example.
Quick question, I know this is a little late but when I go into Zeus, the little icon beneath my character and/or any AI or players do not show. I was wondering why, and how I could fix this? It's not too big of a deal, but it's a little inconvenient when trying to provide support and whatnot for my pals when I am in Zeus.
Hey, I'm new to Zeus but i am looking forward to making cool missions. For now i have only been zeussing on public servers and i don't see all those options that you have in the modules. Is that custom scripts? And if so what is it called. For ex. The Ace AI, ACE Arsenal Etc.... Very nice tutorial tho! have been looking at your missions alot to maybe get some ideas, keep it up.
okay, so i found out that you need something called ACE and ive seen many discussion on wheter you CAN or CAN't use this in public servers like EU#02 or EU#01 but no clear answer. Do you know if i can? and if i can, do the people on that server also need to have ace installed?
Hi! I play modded ARMA, public servers don't have mods. The server won't even let you in if you have any mods enabled. There's communities (like the one where I play) that have a list of mods they use, including the ones that give zeuses all those fancy modules making zeusing much better. If you like you can check out Sigma, see if it's something for you.
Check if you have any mods loaded that could cause this. Also make sure you set up the game master module properly in Eden, enabling unofficial addons as well (although the AI tab should be base game). Let me know if you fixed it!
@@Xyrage Well m8, I found the solution I've tried to unload some mods, didnt work. Validated my game files... still not working. Then I saw in your video that you had much more options in Zeus itself.... Got me thinking right??? You use Zeus Enhanced...... I did not know that..... Anyway, tnx for your help, appreciate it man. Sorry for my broken English, it's not my native language. I am an old Dutchman ;-)
@@Xyrage By 'works' do you mean you just don't get any errors, or that they complement the features of one another? I think people often assume just because they don't get errors that they're getting the benefits of both mods (i.e. JSRS/Dynasound, etc), even though the mods are actually overwriting one another depending on where they are on the mod list.
Hello,thanks for this!!! Have you ever encountered when trying to remote control an ai that players dont hear your voice when you speak thru the controlled ai? Any ideas?
Also, i like LAMBS alot but if I load it in with mods, it doesnt let me remote control an Ai. Its like, when i try to remote control ai, il be in that ai's body but i do not have control over it and it still moves as ai.
My PC is a bit overkill for this game, running a Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3070. Some guys I play with use GTX 970's and a decent i5 processor. Depending on your specs you'll have to turn down some settings, especially view distance is a big one.
Why you don't have an end-key? Because it's probably a compact keyboard without numpad. You could plug a keyboard into your laptop, that's what I used to do.
i played with a zues that had like guys with bomb vests and he said they where mods do you know if there is a way to play with people if you have mods.
Most mods will need to be run by all players. There are some client side mods you could run in addition to those. Anything with units, weapons or vehicles definitely needs to be run by all.
So in in eden after i do zeus in the mission if my playable character dies I cannot switch to zeus is there a way to make zeus accessible for all characters?
You can set it up so the host/admin can create zeus using the self interact menu from ACE. You should also be able to respawn and still have zeus, if you've set that up.
@@Xyrage Okay so basically, when you use the Remote Control function on AI you spawned in you can control it obviously but you can't command the squad it has.
I need some help I do the thing get into Zeus that's fine but when I do It I can't click on any of the guys I've placed down, any way of fixing it? It worked before
Things to try; Add units to editable objects through the "edit editable objects" module. Restart the mission Restart ARMA Take a look at your mods, see what might be causing an issue. Lmk if and which one worked 😉
Perdon por el idioma. Consulta, no comprendo como se incluyen en Zeus, todas las unidades que ya existen en el editor al iniciar la mision y las que se generan por algun guion. Que modulo/mod debo usar? Por ejemplo con TPW mod
@@Xyrage bien, estuve probando, pero lo que mas resultado me dio (de acuerdo a lo que yo pretendia), fue pones un comando en el "init.sqf". Un bucle que agrega, cada 6 segundos, las unidades que se van generando. Lo que me gustaria saber es como limitar el control de Zeus sobre las unidades que no son del lado del jugador. Ya sea, single player o PvP. Tambien, pregunto, sera posible hacer que los iconos/marcadores (o como se llamen) de las unidades sean mas transparentes? Durante la partida, mas si es en una hora de poca luz, solo puedes ver una cantidad de circulos rojos, verdes o azules que ocultan por completo a las unidades. Visualmente resuce el juego a un table de fichas en un juego de mesa. Muchas gracias y una vez mas perdon por el idioma. Saludos
@@Xyrage can you make or already made such tutorial because this would offer great help to your subscribers many players would like to use subscribed scenarios instead of making new mission in eden editor.
Just a question, when I host for some reason there is no player icon visible from Zeus, so I can’t edit players or see where they are. Is this enabled in eden? Thanks.
Hi, it could be that you haven't set your editable objects right in Eden, check under Attributes > General > Misc > Editable Objects (Zeus). @Art The Clown came with this in an earlier comment. Let me know if it works ;)
personally every time i press y in eden for zeus the game freezes instantly, any idea where this is coming from? I redid the manipulation and each time the same problem
If I wanna play zeus with friends frrom eden editor, I have to "place" their playable characters in eden, because they can't join otherwise. But in this case I am somehow not able to "edit" them as a zeus master (I don't see their icons in the zeus interface). Is there a way to fix this?
Verify your gamefiles before reinstalling and see if that fixes it, I don't think it's that kind of an issue, however. Like I said though, haven't had the issue myself, so don't know the exact solution. Sorry buddy!

@@Xyrage I tried everything, my only option was permanently switching slots or deleting my scenario
Never had that problem. Check if there are any mods could cause issues?

Thanks heaps, mate!
Hi Glenn,
Next part has been on a bit of a hold, planning on taking it a few steps further with an advanced series. Very much still in the making though.
1:26 when you say "the exact same name" you are in fact referring to the unit (Soldier you placed)'s name. thanks again for the video
Correct! You're welcome!
So you have to put the name of the unit and not just Zeus?
You can enter Zeus as a name. Just name the unit and the module the same.
Alternative is going through ace zeus settings in addon settings and self interact.
Outstanding video sir. Very explanatory!
Thank you! Glad it helped!
Appreciate the help! Thank you, your approach to this guide was super helpful.
Glad it helped!
The most useful guide I've ever seen. New sub.
Thanks, glad it helps!
many thanks for good information bro now I can customize my mission reality
Awesome to hear, good luck!
Fucking fantastic job. Clear and concise. Love it
Thanks!
Waiting for the other part :)
Planning on making that this month! Stay tuned!
you're God Zeus himself
How come when I go into Eden Editor, my player AI and other players' AI icons arent apparent. There's no way I can heal them or link groups to them. -(thanks in advance)

What if you press Y when in zeus? It should put you back in your unit.
Try adding the unit to editable objects.
“Well Job” :)
Stahp, you get the point
I did but I also get a laugh 👍
Hey man, which mods do you use to get ACE and LAMBS? I can't find them :(
Subscribe to them on the steam workshop and enable them in the ARMA launcher
@@Xyrage yea I know, but there are plenty of addons which are called "ace" or "lambs"... Which one is the correct?
Lambs: steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1858075458
ACE: steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=463939057
Can ACE and LAMBS be used together? Doesn't one overwrite the other's AI?
Works fine for me!
@@Xyrage By 'works' do you mean you just don't get any errors, or that they complement the features of one another? I think people often assume just because they don't get errors that they're getting the benefits of both mods (i.e. JSRS/Dynasound, etc), even though the mods are actually overwriting one another depending on where they are on the mod list.
I'm not aware of any issues. Not completely sure how Lambs takes control of the AI, maybe check out the video of it.
It’s sad as I’m new to arma sadly but I was playing this and I got called a troll as I didn’t know what I was doing
Hahah, I'd mess around in SP first. Get used to the controls and mechanics. Also, many prefer a unit/community over public ARMA.
Hello,thanks for this!!! Have you ever encountered when trying to remote control an ai that players dont hear your voice when you speak thru the controlled ai? Any ideas?
Also, i like LAMBS alot but if I load it in with mods, it doesnt let me remote control an Ai. Its like, when i try to remote control ai, il be in that ai's body but i do not have control over it and it still moves as ai.
Haven't had those issues myself, but it (most likely) has to do with ACRE/TFAR.
Yup, it does that to me sometimes, not sure how to fix it yet. If you do find a fix, let me know! :D
Now I'm not sure what I did wrong but no matter how hard I look I can't find the ACE arsenal, or any ace stuff in general, possible fixes anybody?
Make sure you have ace loaded, and are enabling all addons (including unofficial ones) for Zeus. Let me know if this worked.
Are you able to make the Independent Faction hostile to everyone in Zeus?
Yes, use the Side Relations module, under Scenario Flow. They'll be hostile by default though.
@@Xyrage Thank you bud!
When I hit CTRL LMB it just it just pops up a menu to change the troops health and stance settings not remote control it
Are you running Zeus Enhanced?
@@Xyrage no I wasn’t, it was actually one of the few mods i unloaded it right before loading into a map
I believe it's a feature from Zeus Enhanced
Fiz tudo correto, mas ao iniciar o Zeus, mas o ícone do meu personagem não aparece(ícone da unidade com um círculo vermelho)
You may need to add yourself to editable objects.
@@Xyrage Como faço isso?
RMB or module, editable objects, add, x meters
How do i remove icons around ai? Or even if its possible.
RMB then edit editable objects
Not sure if it's in here but how do you control an ai unit in zeus
With the zeus enhanced mod you can ctrl+double lmb. Without you'll have to use the remote control module
@@Xyrage Oh alright thank you!
Deleting things was unclear, I’m still struggling on what you did
What is unclear? To delete units select with LMB or click-drag, then press Delete on the keyboard.
End will kill/destroy the unit.
Lmk if this helped!
Maybe its add/remove editable objects? (Use the module or right click and do so as shown in the video)
What are your computer specs? I was wondering what is good for arma
My PC is a bit overkill for this game, running a Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3070. Some guys I play with use GTX 970's and a decent i5 processor. Depending on your specs you'll have to turn down some settings, especially view distance is a big one.
I'm using a gaming laptop and I don't have end on the laptop to end the soldiers can u tell me why?
Why you don't have an end-key? Because it's probably a compact keyboard without numpad.
You could plug a keyboard into your laptop, that's what I used to do.
Just rebind the key to something else 😉
Why dont i have the combat mode
what are the mods and how do i get them to work? i got lambs danger but didnt see anything under the modules.
You need 3 different mods from Lambs. The ones we use are on our modpack on the discord.
@@Xyrage thanks for the reply bro love ur stuff
i played with a zues that had like guys with bomb vests and he said they where mods do you know if there is a way to play with people if you have mods.
Most mods will need to be run by all players. There are some client side mods you could run in addition to those. Anything with units, weapons or vehicles definitely needs to be run by all.
How do you press AI?
How to control them? Use the Remote Control module or with Zeus Enhanced you can ctrl + double lmb
Is there a way to save your placed stuff from Zeus mode to the Edtior mode?
Not that I'm aware of, you can, however, save and SQF and execute that on the server again.
@@Xyrage Thank you!
So in in eden after i do zeus in the mission if my playable character dies I cannot switch to zeus is there a way to make zeus accessible for all characters?
You can set it up so the host/admin can create zeus using the self interact menu from ACE. You should also be able to respawn and still have zeus, if you've set that up.
When I set the game master module and go into its settings “owner” is not there.
Any tips?
No idea, sorry, let me know once you've found the solution!
Just downloded Ace to make my own ops yet when I go to set up my AI there is no “Ace AI” section under my modules tab. Am I missing something or?
Make sure you enable unofficial addons in the game master module. If it's still not there check your addon options in your settings.
@@Xyrage I feel stupid as I did not notice that was an option in the game master but that worked, thank you!
All good! Glad I could help!
i dont see the "place vehicle with crew" button pls help
It may be part of a mod, zeus enhanced most likely
@@Xyrage not trying to be gay but ilysm bro
Sorry I just came to ask if there was anyway to remote control Ai but with full control of their sqaud. If you get what I mean?
If you want players to control AI, you need to group the AI to the player. If that's not what you mean, try to explain.
@@Xyrage Okay so basically, when you use the Remote Control function on AI you spawned in you can control it obviously but you can't command the squad it has.
Never tried that, never felt the need for it either. Anything specific you're trying to achieve?
How do you place an arsenal that isn’t the full one?
Search Google for limited arsenal! You'll find guides on how to set them up.
Thank you! Love your guides, you’ve actually unlocked so much for me Zeus wise with just one video!
Great! That's what it's for!
I need some help I do the thing get into Zeus that's fine but when I do It I can't click on any of the guys I've placed down, any way of fixing it? It worked before
Things to try;
Add units to editable objects through the "edit editable objects" module.
Restart the mission
Restart ARMA
Take a look at your mods, see what might be causing an issue.
Lmk if and which one worked 😉
@@Xyrage none of them work
Did you try googling the issue? I often find a solution there!
Won’t let me double click for RMB menu
Um, try RMB?
Perdon por el idioma.
Consulta, no comprendo como se incluyen en Zeus, todas las unidades que ya existen en el editor al iniciar la mision y las que se generan por algun guion.
Que modulo/mod debo usar?
Por ejemplo con TPW mod
Hi, to add units to your zeus interface, you need to "update editable objects". Search for that in the module tab.
Let me know if that worked!
@@Xyrage ok muchisimas gracias.
Saludos
@@Xyrage bien, estuve probando, pero lo que mas resultado me dio (de acuerdo a lo que yo pretendia), fue pones un comando en el "init.sqf".
Un bucle que agrega, cada 6 segundos, las unidades que se van generando.
Lo que me gustaria saber es como limitar el control de Zeus sobre las unidades que no son del lado del jugador.
Ya sea, single player o PvP.
Tambien, pregunto, sera posible hacer que los iconos/marcadores (o como se llamen) de las unidades sean mas transparentes?
Durante la partida, mas si es en una hora de poca luz, solo puedes ver una cantidad de circulos rojos, verdes o azules que ocultan por completo a las unidades.
Visualmente resuce el juego a un table de fichas en un juego de mesa.
Muchas gracias y una vez mas perdon por el idioma.
Saludos
@@pirulopirulo1120 I don't have any experience spawning units through scripts, but your solution seems great!
Hello where do i find all this modules?
This tutorial is for modded ARMA, most of the mods I use are pretty standard. For the full list, check out Sigma's discord.
@@Xyrage thanks for fast reply i will check it :DD
Why did they even make Zeus different than the eden editor. Hate it.
Different purposes, Zeus enhanced is a massive help. I think there's also an Eden Enhanced.
Can I add zeus in any subscribed scenario with any mods for example navy mod hafm ?
Probably, yes, you'd have to change the mission file though. Get the PBO manager and I think you're good.
@@Xyrage can you make or already made such tutorial because this would offer great help to your subscribers many players would like to use subscribed scenarios instead of making new mission in eden editor.
I could, what scenario do you want zeus for?
Just a question, when I host for some reason there is no player icon visible from Zeus, so I can’t edit players or see where they are. Is this enabled in eden? Thanks.
Hi, it could be that you haven't set your editable objects right in Eden, check under Attributes > General > Misc > Editable Objects (Zeus).
@Art The Clown came with this in an earlier comment.
Let me know if it works ;)
@@Xyrage there’s nothing under misc just the independence allegiance and binarize the scenario file for some reason
Try updating editable objects, see if you can simply add the players to the zeus interface
@@Xyrage that worked thanks so much man
personally every time i press y in eden for zeus the game freezes instantly, any idea where this is coming from? I redid the manipulation and each time the same problem
Freeze and crash? Or freeze and then into zeus?
@@Xyrage complete freeze nothing is happening force to close the game
My best guess is it's a mod issue. Are you running any? Try deducing and see if it works
@@Xyrage I am stopped when I do it and despite that as soon as I press y the screen freezes and never returns to normal
Are you using any mods? Disable (some of) them and try again?
How do you resize markers?
I don't think you can in Zeus, only in Eden.
@@Xyrage oof
It's a great guied but I have a problem, I can't edit myself and don't see another player in Multiplayer. Do you have any solution for that?
Does your character show up with the red circle around it, like in the video?
@@Xyrage No it doesn't, but I solved it with placing the Enable thing while I'm in zeus
Btw sorry for the late reply and my English
@@djprincejunior1024 The enable thing? You mean you editable objects?
@@Xyrage Yes, it didn't come to my mind sorry
how do you have more modules?
Because I'm using modded ARMA, especially ACE and Zeus Enhanced are big game changers.
How does he have U.S. troops?
Because I'm using mods, RHS adds US army and MC.
First to comment
Congrats ;)
@@Xyrage :)
If I wanna play zeus with friends frrom eden editor, I have to "place" their playable characters in eden, because they can't join otherwise. But in this case I am somehow not able to "edit" them as a zeus master (I don't see their icons in the zeus interface). Is there a way to fix this?
It's a bug, you need to add then to the Editable Objects. If that doesn't work, check your settings about editing players.
@@Xyrage I did that, how do I open these settings?
Not sure, haven't had that issue myself, but it should be in the game settings/multiplayer settings or something like that.
@@Xyrage ok thank you, I'll try that, if it doesn't work I have to reinstall Arma ...
Verify your gamefiles before reinstalling and see if that fixes it, I don't think it's that kind of an issue, however. Like I said though, haven't had the issue myself, so don't know the exact solution. Sorry buddy!
How do u get the garrison to work I’m trying to do it with my units and it’s not doing it the way the my did it for u do u know the issue
If you can clarify what's not working, I may be able to help.
@@Xyrage every time I put down the garrison and it Doas not move them into position
Are you doing everything the same as in the video?
Yeah sorry just had a dumb moment wasn’t changing the perimeter of it thanks for everything thigh
Though
e works but not r what do i do
Check keybinds in the settings
