Thanks for watching guys! If you want to jump in and play this, download it on Steam or search for Direct Action in the ARMA 3 server browser. I currently have 2x dedicated servers running it (USA and Australia).
beautiful job...... thanks a lot......... just wanna stress ont point....... in my opinion the most important thing to have in a dynamic mission, is the capacity of enemy Ai to do exactly what you can do, evolve money and gear, and attack your bases.... this is exactly what makes antistasi unique ...... dont know if you implemented it..... but still you did a great job
@@sRecollet i figured it out. make sure you subscribe to it on steam workshop through the link and afterwards head to ...multiplayer> server browser> host server> direct action: dynamic missions|altis> it should be at the bottom of a long list of missions there should be like over 20 names and at the bottom you’ll see this mission. hope this helps my man.
Looking forward to seeing this grow and hopefully expand to other maps! It looks like a fantastic way to introduce Arma to new players due to its similarities with other games they've likely played. Good work mate.
Incredible job! As one of those people that enjoys the SP scenarios in Arma, I greatly appreciate you adding in the ability to save the mission. I watched your Prairie Fire review and you mentioned a DA for it. That DLC is definitely on my radar now.
Just getting back into Arma after a long time off. Can't wait to try this out. Thanks in advance for putting this together and also, thank you for making where you can play solo as well, I really appreciate that!!
Very late to this but just saw your video and downloaded the scenario. I just played for a couple hours solo, trying to take down a nearby base from the airfield, and the scenario was fun as hell. Really looking forward to trying this with my small group. Thank you!
Thanks man! Yeah, you'd be surprised how much new stuff is still being released. Most of the big faction mod teams are still active and releasing updates. That's what's keeping it alive I think.
Hi, I played your mod. Your's truly amazing, I pretty much play Arma 3 because of your mods. Is a bit buggy here and there but is more of Amra 3's inherent flaws than your mods. I just playing infinitely repayable missions using all the factions and is like roleplaying, it felt great.
This modification is great, I can play it alone or with the 2 friends with whom I usually play ArmA 3. The truth is what complaints I do not have, since the shit that usually works the AI is a matter of the game and not the MOD. I am very grateful to people like you who take the time to share such fun scenarios. And by the way, I apologize for my bad English I am from Argentina and I learned it on the internet.
I just started Arma 3 and i really love games like Ghost Recon or Farcry, so i think this is a good way to start with Arma. The progress system sou build in also makes it better for new players to learn all different type of stuff. Also i like single-player more because 1.my pc is not the strongest and 2.im kinda shy hahaha. So a big thank you, i will definitely try this mod the next days
OK so subscribed to direct action and started playing it with friends and OMG I'm loving this. The freedom to choose mission. Pick my squadron and the tactical part of the missions is amazing. Amazing job
This is super dope, total gonna be playing this on Altis, Livonia and Tanoa. I’ve been looking for something like this, hell Western Sahara hooked me in because of the pmc setting with a currency system.
I have the same problem with not finishing some of my missions, I kinda had the same idea of making a whole map-wide mission made up of smaller missions that could take a looong time to complete.
Looks great but when I tried it at first it's a little confusing in the beginning. It's not as straightforward as the other dynamic Ops however it seems to really set itself apart from the other 2 or 3 good ones which is awesome btw. It's cool to see how each other these is so different.
This sounds amazing bro, I'll definitely check it out for single player. Is it compatible with other mods like the star wars mod? Imagine being an elite Imperial unit infiltrating a rebel planet, or republic infiltrating cis. Or even a WW2 campaign!!
Billy, I have been playing With my Friends and have dropped 20+ hours on this mode, however, a minor problem I found It's the autosave feature, It's not working For LAN matches neither Online Coop, Once You exit the progress It's lost, It would be nice to have a Manual save option.
3:10 - How did you make that? I'm trying to create something... sorta similar to your gamemode in Eden, and I could really use a feature where you can recruit squadmates or even buy vehicles for yourself.
Probably the biggest but of advice I can give you is the editor modules are nearly always not going to be good enough to do what you want them to do. 90% of what you can see here is done entirely outside of 3den. 3den is only used in Direct action to position where the objectives should be etc. everything else is done with scripts. You’ll need to learn to script in .sqf (ARMA 3 launguage). As a hint the two main commands you’re looking for are addaction and createUnit.
Edit: HOLY SH*T DOES IT HELP A LOT?! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I managed to make a very simple currency system using "rating" (reputation basically), using createUnit and some RadioAlpha n other kinda triggers I was able to recruit riflemen for 50 rating point each. The core of what I wanted done is literally achieved. Finally! Time to put "addTask" into the mix in some way, then it'll be perfect; I guess it will remove the limitation coming from the amount of "Radio Alpha, Bravo, Charlie..." triggers available, so that I can buy basically anything. Radio Alpha stuff will be refined into requesting TacEvac teams from remote locations or something. Awesome what I could achieve with this basic amount of scripting I know. Thanks again.
4:47 everyone is using a marksman rifle? You mean an LMG with a scope and a suppressor whilst also carrying a guided missile launcher lmao. But in all honesty this looks really interesting and honestly so much of the balance seems very very natural to me. Good job!
I can't figure it out. I try to choose a mission and It just says "not a valid mission" when I click on pink circles to choose a mission and then I can't exit the map. Tried with mods and straight vanilla. :(
There's a pink circle that should say cancel at the mapboard location. You can also start missions just by walking into the red circle.... you don't need to use the map board at all if you dont want to.
Hey! This is so fantastic, however we've run in to a problem. The server we use doesn't save the progress of our sandbox which is a massive shame. Is there any proper way to incorporate a save system or is there already one in place we don't know about?
What the hell am i suposed to do about the constant jets flying over and bombing me even when im in my own base? Im not allowed to shoot in my base but im CONSTANTLY getting bombed by jets! Its relentless
How have you guys managed to run this coop like 2-4 ppl? Would just hosting an internet server be fine for this or do you need a dedicated one? Also are you able to save your progress currently ?
Quick question, I’m playing this with a buddy and whenever he goes to save the scroll bar and presses the save menu he doesn’t have the option to save, just to close it. Any fixes or idea?
So I see on your steam page that ACE medical breaks some aspects, but is that the only portion that causes issues or does ACE have other problems as well? As a player with a small group that likes to play together. This looks like an awesome follow up to our Antistasi game that is almost completed at this point. Unfortunately, we're pretty much dedicated ACE players at this point. Just adds too much that's useful to not have it.
Had a few go on the mission. Really well made. Me, who is a fan of dynamic mission and with progression system, this mission is perfect. Only thing is that when I host a server with my friends, the progression doesn't save.
This mission was never actually designed with persistence in mind (because it's inspired by invade and annex), but so many people have requested, it's actually just been added. We're testing MP persistence on the new Vietnam version of Direct Action and it'll hopefully be added to Tanoa and Altis later this week.
Thanks mate. Are running any mods? Have you tried lowering view distance? 1200m terrain / 800m object as infantry. You can press CTRL+\ set up view distance presets for vehicles, aircraft and on foot.
Quick question about this mission, is it restricted to just one map or could I install a map like let’s say fallujah could I play this mode on that custom map or is it just altis and other base maps? That would be dope
It’s currently playable on 5 different maps and will have more very soon! Some maps aren’t really set up to handle this kind of mode... Fallujah is definitely one of those. Ideally you need 10x10km at least with airfields. We’ve got the mission configured on Anizay though which is Middle East themed. Have a look for the Direct Action collection on the steam workshop and in our discord we have a list of maps coming soon.
@@BillyEatWorld ooooo I’ll give those a go thank you for the speedy replies, also one more question with the mod packs once I add those to my mod list can I add my own mods to it also like blastcore for more realistic explosions and improved grenades mods etc?
Hey mate! Probably consider joining us on the discord for stuff like this. Not every vehicle is available straight up... you've gotta find them at allied and enemy camps. There will be a few Orcas located around the Altis map.... just off the top of my head, pretty sure Galati has one. Once you find it and use it for the first time, you can spawn it from the light transport / light attack heli position back at base as well.
Ace isn't officially supported. Unfortunately because ACE is a super bloated all in one mod it's impossible to test and support compatibility with ACE 100%. The time I'd spend patching stuff for ACE is much better spent on adding new maps etc :). With that being said... there's nothing preventing ACE from being used, but you'll just need to disable modules if and when they break the mission.
@@BillyEatWorld That is perfectly understandable. I appreciate the work you have invested into building this mod! In my unit we play with ACE all the time. It's really hard to go back to vanilla you are used to that. But I'll definitely try it out. We sometimes play DROs or DSOs when only a few people are around and they don't work particularly well with ACE either (medical for examples with you limping around when ACE says you are perfectly fine). Direct Action could be a very cool alternative to that with random encounters and a persistent "story". Is there any specific feature of ACE that is known to cause issues and that should be turned off by default when using DA? (you can't turn off medical though in ace, can you?)

Thank you for putting this up!
As someone who plays regularly as a small group of 2~3 plays, this is totally up my alley :)
I've been looking for something like this ever since I bought Arma 3 thank you SO SO MUCH for making this
Looking forward to seeing this grow and hopefully expand to other maps! It looks like a fantastic way to introduce Arma to new players due to its similarities with other games they've likely played. Good work mate.
Far Cry + Arma 3 = Music to my ears. This looks amazing!
Arma 3 open world ?
Incredible job! As one of those people that enjoys the SP scenarios in Arma, I greatly appreciate you adding in the ability to save the mission. I watched your Prairie Fire review and you mentioned a DA for it. That DLC is definitely on my radar now.
can u download direct action on workshop
Just getting back into Arma after a long time off. Can't wait to try this out. Thanks in advance for putting this together and also, thank you for making where you can play solo as well, I really appreciate that!!
Great work. Can’t imagine how many man hours it took to code in all the things you managed to do!
Looks great man! I've been looking for a game mode to play with friends similar to this without setting up a mission or using Zeus, good work!
Yeah that's kind of why I designed this. You can use Zeus in this, but it's not required.
Very late to this but just saw your video and downloaded the scenario. I just played for a couple hours solo, trying to take down a nearby base from the airfield, and the scenario was fun as hell. Really looking forward to trying this with my small group. Thank you!
I do believe the arma 3 workshop needs more missions like this thank you having a blast playing it
Bro... awesome!. I shared it with a mates discord (we play squad) but I came from Arma 3. I have Fav it to my Arma 3 playlist , liked and subbed :D
good mission, hope it gets attention!
Great production and gameplay showcasing. 👌🏿
Thank You!
Just getting back into Arma. This looks incredible. Well done!
Hey awesome work right here ! Glad hearing AMF is on the major faction's list. Thank you for sharing this gem !

Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for the hard work!
Cheers. Hit us up on the Discord if you have any questions.
Nice. Looking forward to this in Cam Lao Nam.
Damn, that's a brilliant game to play! Well done 👍 I will have a look and hopefully this is a better antistasi!!
Damn, gonna check it out, I was searching for a missions to run with only or two friends, or even alone :D
I just found your channel as I just downloaded arma 3 and am looking for mods, Ive not played since arma 2 back when i played dayz mod :D
might check this out considering my friends dont want to play arma and I often get kicked out of factions
This sounds incredible, looks like you've thought about anything the player might need
Got this scenario. Very very refreshing, well done.
We need this for SOG prairie fire
Just downloaded this and super excited to give it a try!
holy shit. masterpiece
I wanted to get back to Arma 3 and this popped up in my suggestion. What are the odds?
I installed indibi2 and the game tells me when it autosaves, but where do I go to load that autosave? Help would be appreciated please! Thanks!
This is very, very impressive.
As some one who loves playing brm5 (a roblox game that kinda works like this and ghost recon breakpoint) this sounds great will get it leter

I’m hoping you’ll see this, but I’ve played it before and now it doesn’t show up in the mods tab when I go into the launcher how can I fix it?
Uu seems really neat. Will definaiely checkthis out.
This sounds amazing bro, I'll definitely check it out for single player. Is it compatible with other mods like the star wars mod? Imagine being an elite Imperial unit infiltrating a rebel planet, or republic infiltrating cis. Or even a WW2 campaign!!

I don't understand? Am I doing something wrong ? I go to the guy for AI and it doesn't say anything or spawn anything
Excellent stuff 🙂
can someone tell me how to load a previous game on this mod? spent hours playing and can't figure out how to continue from last save..
Hope this gets more exposure as this looks like it will be really fun even if solo
i really love this so much thank you good work
Sound great so we can run mods like xtra inventory and that sweet. Also can we just run this in solo offline ?
Would you be interested in adding support for the Unsung mod / factions?

How exactly does the progression and unlocks work is it like rep or level based?
Mr Billy I play your server. But I can't bomb using jets can you help me?
Mission is great. Been having a damn good time so far
A takistan or lithium map would be insane :)
This man really said: * the perfect gamemode*
is there an end goal of this mission like destroy all enemies or certain % of the enemy to win
also great work
Thanks!
No end goal. It's just a big open ended sandbox mission with a ton of stuff to do.
THIS is awesome !
Does this work with ACE3 as well?
i want to buy this game but i wonder how many storage i need for this game and this mods installed?
Great scenario! I had some severe FPS issues towards the end of the first mission I played though. RTX 2070 16gb
Thanks mate.
Are running any mods? Have you tried lowering view distance? 1200m terrain / 800m object as infantry. You can press CTRL+\ set up view distance presets for vehicles, aircraft and on foot.
@@BillyEatWorld I’m running a handful of QOL mods (Achilles, earplugs, vtol controller) but no big total conversions or anything.

Not every vehicle is available straight up... you've gotta find them at allied and enemy camps. There will be a few Orcas located around the Altis map.... just off the top of my head, pretty sure Galati has one.
Once you find it and use it for the first time, you can spawn it from the light transport / light attack heli position back at base as well.
@@BillyEatWorld got it thanks also how you get permision to fly below 100m in enemy area?
how do you level up
i won't complain as long as the "save" function actually works without corrupt files.
Was hoping this would include a persistent scenario, but you have to restart the scenario after every play. Wish we could see saving in it.
It does. Read the mod description. Read the FAQ. Join the Discord. Lots of useful info there :).
Looks very promising. Does this work with ACE or is there any known problem when used with ACE?
