But I want you to hear my disappointment in all of you when I order you to march up that hill
[QUOTE=kaukassus;49366917]Absolutely.
The fastest way to try out Zeus if you don't already have a mission at hand is to simply go into the editor and do the following steps:
1. Place down a unit where you want to spawn. (First unit placed in editor will always be your player).
2. Go into Modules (F7) > Zeus, and select the Game Master module. Place that down somewhere on the map.
3. (Optional) Doubleclick on it, and look for a setting called "Unlocked Addons" or soemthing. it should have the Value "All official addons" by default. Change that to "All official addons And Unofficial Addons" (I don't exactly remember what it's called, but you'll know which one it is when you see it). This allows you to Use content from mods like CUP, RHS, etc...
4. Press the Preview button to hop into the game.
5. Press Y or Z Depending on the Keyboard to activate zeus in-game.
6. Have fun.
If you don't want to do this every time, you can also save the mission you did and load it every time you want to screw around with Zeus on your favorite maps.[/QUOTE]
Thank you so much!

I just name my player and the Zeus' owner the same name and it works perfectly fine.
[QUOTE=Destroyox;49367242]I just name my player and the Zeus' owner the same name and it works perfectly fine.[/QUOTE]
Yes, that's a requirement for Multiplayer missions.
In the Editor Preview mode itself, this is not needed since any Game Master module automatically gets assigned to the player, unless it's in the MP Editor.
Kaukassus can you remove ace weather from comfy downtime? That would be really comfy if you could, so I can set zeus weather.

Will do so. Will look into finishing the new version for tonight or tomorrow.
maybe we should just get rid of ace_weather
it seems to constantly cause issues
also while ACRE does have a few bugs, its directional sound and radio emulation is so much better than tfar
would just like to see some faster iterations on the updates

This module simulates realistic weather effects, according to the geographical location of the map, the date and time. It also ensures that all players experience the same weather effects.

I'd say kick it.
The following addons would then have to be deleted aswell, since they depend on ace_weather:
[quote]
* ace_advanced_ballistics
* ace_winddeflection
* ace_atragmx
* ace_dagr
* ace_kestrel4500
[/quote]
ADV Ballistics is meh. Only good for Snipers engaging from more than 1.5km away. Also Really FPS hungry, and IIRC we never even enabled it anyway (IIRC it's off by default).
Winddeflection is something you either like or dislike. IMO it wouldn't really make that much of a difference worth keeping (Mainly affects engagements at very long ranges, so mainly snipers notice it and maybe marksmen).
atragmx and kestrel are useless without wind. Ballistics calculations can be done much better with Rangecards which are a lot simpler. Then again, we never even used those in ops before.
DAGR is a cool little toy, but just like above, we never used it at all. Also Complicated for the common player, and I also don't see it worth keeping.
oh didn't know that
I've enabled adv ballistics as server defaults, can be overridden by missions
a better solution would be to just disable ace weather by default

Do you have the ACE userconfig active on the server?
if so, you can set ace_weather_useACEWeather to 0. That should probably do the trick for missions that don't have it configured.
yes
that's why adv ballistics is on
as long as I remembered to move it back after the latest update

Disable weather effects, but keep weather propagation, so it's synced between clients.
Also I'm pretty sure Ace Weather is causing our accuracy to drop down loads, due to extreme wind affecting our bullets.

It is, you always see rounds going way off target in Arsenal
Just realised I might not be able to come to the OP on Sunday as my family has been invited to a family dinner (an after Christmas thing).
2 weeks without ARMA, I might just melt away.

[QUOTE=Holt!;49365080]Any time in the afternoon GMT. And to play comfy downtime you just join the server then spent 50 minutes at the arsenal box while someone makes a mission.
[editline]22nd December 2015[/editline]
But its not really scheduled, if enough people are up for playing arma just post in the thread and say you want to play some casual ops.

Fuck it, I haven't got much else to do so I'll join.
Today i beat my personal record for number of tanks flipped in one mission.
Also you won't know the terror of being inside an mv-22 under heavy fire.
