Arma 3 High Command Mod: The Most Fun I've Had In A Video Game

[@LightsOutBlaze]

For anyone who doesn’t know this mod has been updated! A guy made a redux of it using the base of this mod and fixed many of the bugs!

[@TacticalEDGEGaming]

@@LightsOutBlaze I just saw this. Can’t wait to try it out!

[@los789]

PL HC is excellent! I am using it in Multiplayer w KPLIB as well, also in conjunction with SOG AI. Outstanding mod.

[@chunderbandit8720]

Have you been able to work out how to use the "execute" command? I'm trying to set up a few groups at the LOD for an attack and have them all begin their actions at the same time. Cheers

[@TacticalEDGEGaming]

The best I've been able to do is making all of my units hold, issue orders, and then execute.

[@chunderbandit8720]

@@TacticalEDGEGaming Sweet. Thanks for that mate.

[@santo5432]

How did you set it up with OPCOM? Like the other infantry squads and the fire support.

[@TacticalEDGEGaming]

@@santo5432 I haven’t done a lot of testing with it, but unfortunately the latest update to OPCOM affects platoon leaders ai handling so units don’t process orders from the platoon leader mod. If I figure out a fix I’ll post a video on it!

[@PVT_Barry]

You mentioned using opcom to generate the mission. I've used it but have not been able to save it correctly, so if I leave in the middle, my settings and mission are lost. Would you consider a video to show how you made the mission and also set up the platoon command?

[@TacticalEDGEGaming]

Ya I can do that, for sure!

[@Vierre-2]

Is this compatible with antistasi do you know? play it solo sometimes and I’m pretty curious about it

[@TacticalEDGEGaming]

Hey Brother, I have been able to use it with anitstasi, however I do recommmend combnining this mod with the all-in-one command menu for ease in creating high command groups.

[@LightsOutBlaze]

Have you had any problems with the mod? Like does it have any major bugs? That may be game breaking? im thinking about trying it but I seen it hasn’t been updated in some time

[@TacticalEDGEGaming]

@@LightsOutBlaze I still use it to this day. I will say that if you give the ai a defensive order and then try to assign an order while they’re in the defensive posture, then the AI will move to the corner of the map. To avoid this, cancel the defensive order before assigning a new order

Hey man. Let's make some videos together to create some really cool content together and gain some serious ground. I have been in the know regarding this project since 2001 and remember how far ahead of it's time it was and thanks to the contract Bohemia secured with the Marine Corp, VBS became an incredible vision as a training platform to give commanders something to do beside shoot at the wrong targets and jerk off all day. It never ceases to amaze me that I have been part of this since 2001 when I was on active duty and discovered Benny BECTI in the early beginning and that is when I could see that the game is totally malleable and anything can be created and the editor has more freedom to create than anything a gamer ever seen up to that point. We used to play a game in the 90s before I went to basic training called Command and Conquer and it was a really cool game to play and had a good soundtrack of industrial music. I found that sound track and made a few videos with that playing in the background while playing BECTI on the OFPS server and that old game that was an aerial point of view, was a strategy game where the commander of each side could do a match where they randomly start somewhere on the map and have to harvest material and build a base to pay for tech advances and more capabilities. A lot like age of empires framework with modern warfare vehicles hmmwv tanks planes etc. It was cool strategy game and animations of little soldiers intermittently knocking out pushups and returning to formation. BECTI is like that and combines OFP -Arma3 for 2 teams that have to vote for a willing commander then random start somewhere on the map fighting resistance in each town for control of assets and money generation. Each player has a sqaud size allowance to use AI for. As the tech level of the equipment increases, personal weapons get better as the light vehicle tech level increases, your choice of wheeled vehicles gets better same with tanks rotary wing radar artillary jamming countermeasures sat cams and each commander and the team is always wanting to get the intel of the others base location. So the progression is fun. I just don't see the server so active anymore and hopefully a reforger version will be ready for all us veterans to see the amazing ways this battlefield and creations are going into the Arma 4 world. you have a lot of momentum and growth for your channel in a really short time it looks like. I guess I better take some notes. Good Job man!

[@TacticalEDGEGaming]

Hey man, I'm really only playing arma with this Milsim group now a days. Other than that I play squad and squad 44. If you ever want to jump in on any of those, just let me know!

[@6komodo6]

hi TEG, thank you for posting this, i'm really liking Jellyfish's PL mod but I think he has abandoned it. Was wishing for something like it but with more options like adjust heli height and maybe more CBA options. If you are a mod creator or know one that is experienced hit me up maybe we can make something ty

Hey brother, I don't know anyone that is good with arma 3 scripting nor am I very good at it myself. If I come across anyone that is I'll send them your way!

Will do!

Simplex support services

[@etyy9478]

@@TacticalEDGEGaming Thank you for your reply. How did you add other squads?

[@TacticalEDGEGaming]

@@etyy9478 I did this using the All-in-one command menu mod. I believe the platoon commander mod has this integrated as well, but I don't know the process off the top of my head

[@querubinchannel5714]

Great vid dude but Why dont you use the Platoon Commander 2 it has more features and is still supported

[@TacticalEDGEGaming]

Appreciate the recommendation! I'll explore Platoon Commander 2 and see what it has to offer.

[@christianserrano8523]

how to use this mod?

[@TacticalEDGEGaming]

It's pretty much plug and play. If you have specific issues with the mod, let me know and I can try to help you out!

@@christianserrano8523 sure is

@@TacticalEDGEGaming I don't know why it's not working for me; do I need some DLC to make it work?

[@TacticalEDGEGaming]

@@christianserrano8523 not at all. You may have to check your keybinds. I had to change my keybind for the command menu in order for the mod to work. What mods are you using? Is there a possible conflict?

[@oliversimon9800]

VERY QUIET, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR TONE CONTROL?

[@MsFreegaza]

"creating my own scenarios" .. no. if your using opcom that isnt creating your own,your generating garbage repetitive basic shooting galleries. this mod Platoon leader is full of bugs and the script errors pile up. it offers nothing more than vanilla high command. i appreciate you play SP HC,but for love of god,remove the mods and enjoy the vanilla functions and learn to script them to improve,id even offer my experience,iv made better than this mod with a little effort.

[@TacticalEDGEGaming]

I’ve played Arma since Arma 2 and the reason both Arma 2 and 3 are successful is because of the mods that the community creates. If you truly used this mod and the vanilla high command, then you would know that Platoon Leader mod extremely increases the effectiveness of the high command system that Bohemia has poorly implemented into the game. Not that I need to justify my experience, but I’ve made many scenarios in the editor and even before Eden was added to the game. I’ve made my own scripts too. I also work 12-15 hour days and spending hours on a scenario isn’t appealing to me anymore. OPCOM provides quick and easy missions that I can play for 30min-1hr. I’ve unpack the platoon leader PBO and I highly doubt you’d be willing to put in the work and effort that author has. I wish I could appreciate your feedback but it is extremely arrogant and almost seems spiteful.

[@MsFreegaza]

@@TacticalEDGEGaming isnt spiteful its just to the point. your doing yourself a diservice is what im saying. Arma with eden is literaly a game that can be anything you can imagine. OPCOM limit that. Yeah iv been designing since it was still 2D as well,which makes it more of a point..you now have the most amazing power editor in gaming,you dont use it. But your still willing to take time to post footage. Maybe refelct on it. Oh and vanilla HC... Its,like everything BIS impliments,a foundation that we can easily expand upon. iv added everything that Platoon commander adds,that advanced AI com has,and i have added nearly all features HAL has... without the need for code not updated for 5 years as is Platoon leader. BIS always update things for example group event handlers were changed recently...will your mod account for it? ofcourse not. but you can if you create things yourself. Its just bluntly put,plain good advice im giving.

[@Adam-vl2nu]

I mean neither of y'all are wrong... At the end of the day if you want to learn to script and learn the development side of things I mean the world is in desperate need of artistic and creative talent on one end but at the end of the day I mean if someone wants to enjoy the video game by whatever means they feel like there's a shouldn't be anything wrong with it. It's taking the entire process for somebody that doesn't plan on being a lifer on the development side of things maybe they just want to make a quick up for their friends or just themselves after work and not have to put too much thought into it. Maybe I like to go get a nice steak but I don't feel like taking the time for the preparations and the supplies and I just don't feel like cooking after work but I still want to eat a nice steak. Same idea.
