I fucking respect you so much

As an 80's kid, I played with good old OFP and we had to use the original badass editor to make missions with codes, scripts (some even took days to make). Those were the days...

[@bobuscesar2534]

Bryan Smith To be fair...it was quite easy until you had to explain the teacher why you and your friends were bleeding from everywhere.

[@tsdobbi]

The funny thing is, the scripts and editor largely havent changed (the 3d editor was a godsend in arma 3 though, I remember the days of placing assets and having to load into the game a billion times to get everything placed right). I've had a script inventory saved since ARMA1 and they all still largely work.

[@artsmart8759]

Drew ski, I have benefited from many of your tutorials since discovering Arma and MP in my 7th decade. However, this tutorial emphasizes the major flaw in many of your productions. SLOW DOWN! Your extensive knowledge and experience causes you to quickly breeze through complex procedures and information. You forget how ignorant people with less experience are, and take a lot for granted. Many of the details that have long been assumptions for you, breeze right over the heads of us, the noobs. Unfortunately, tutorials with this level of complexity require a lot of boring detail explanations for the less experienced. Keep up the great work, but remember, many of us are quickly left in your dust, in spite of your good intentions. It’s all about your technique.

[@pr3at0rian2]

Drew I'm trying to follow your exact movements however it's impossible. At just after 9min, you open the MCC from in game (I can do that) and then all of a sudden.... you're out of the overall MCC and into an editor but you don't specify AT ALL how you got there. I can't figure it out for the life of me. It's driving me crazy! I put down the ammo (cargo net) and I have to manually delete all the stuff in there but then I have no setting to make it a VIS in the Eden editor.... how in the heck do you get to where you are at 9:15...

[@OperatorDrewski]

+Pr3at 0rian press Y Y is the Zeus button

[@samg8279]

+OperatorDrewski how do you get VAS

[@pr3at0rian2]

Ok... so in order to get it to work I had to put down the game master icon and link my player to it. Now I can finally get zues to open up with "Y" but when I place my cargo net, I can empty it but when I double click on it I do not get the same window you get at 9:26. Do you have a special mod for that too? Could you please link all the addons you have so we can actually follow your tutorial vid pls?

[@chrisfowlie6713]

I'm having the same problem trying to open the [MCC] edit storage box, double clicking is just opening the standard edit contents window.

Can we do this on Editor as well? I don't play MP much(because got kicked a lot due to my ping), so I create SP scenarios to play (forever) alone.

[@airshark2764]

sp better than mp

[@ares4086]

Air Shark Not true in my opinion. Playing with an organized unit (15th MEU for example) can be amazing.

[@airshark2764]

ItsAres you can modified the accusary the diffecelty the tactics you can edit and create your own AI on sp but in mp you will see dumb peapole just jumping and crouching all the time and see around and the animation in mp is so fast becase player do things faster so its stupid when you see peapole prone and turn faster .

[@ares4086]

Air Shark Well, i cant speak for all units out there. But the 15th MEU uses a mod that improves the AI's tactics. They actually take cover, suppress, flank, etc.

[@ares4086]

Air Shark And no, the animations are not faster in mp lol. It may appear that was because of lag, but the animations are the exact same.

[@goldridder]

I know this is old, but we’re getting back into Arma, and this was invaluable. My tram have no idea I’m setting us up a server to play on, so I’ll definitely be utilising this. I just hope there’s some way to automate reinforcement entities based on progression or something. Like killing 50% all those troops you placed would cause a reinforcement wave or something.

There's some great advice in this video man... i myself loved making missions and zeus-ing in them for my unit (man those were good ol' times) and zeus + ares are the way to go. We didn't really use MCC because we didn't feel the need for it with the zeus + ares combo but we totally agree it's a great mod.

You could start by scouring the web for real missions that have actually been done and 'port' them into ARMA3. I'm a noob to ARMA3 and it's something I will be doing to give me some ideas as well as just plonking a base down somewhere and having SAM sites dotted around as well as a few C-RAM's and maybe a few dug-in tanks and cannons. Yeah, that maybe overkill but I'm just starting...

[@wooble7920]

From personal experience with a computer like that in the past, singleplayer, 40-60 FPS constantly, multiplayer servers, they can be problems but my old PC on around a 40 player CTI mission ran at around 20-30 FPS.

[@nielswehrens8180]

sorry mate, but no. even an i5 has problems with arma. go for an i5 and you should be fine around 60 fps on high settings.

[@tropicalfruit4571]

BF 1 maybe. Dice is really well optimised but forget about arma 3... I have gtx 970 i7 4790-k(or something close to that number) 16gb of ram and my arma 3 is on SSD. While singleplayer is 70-90 FPS on ultra with 2600m render(high settings render) the multiplayer is 40-70(70 only on those simple maps and well optimised) on medium-high settings. Since arma eats your cpu i3 is gonna die and get eaten. get at least i5. it is more noticable more money but i3 is soon going to be obsolete(IMO high settings in some games is too much for i3) and its definetly not good for arma

How do you save a mission like this for play later? It seems none of the changes made "live" with zeus are saved if you exit back out to the editor. I know you can save the file to MCC, but the issue Im having is when I load a saved file it does not start from the beginning of the mission, it starts from the time I saved it. So units have already begun moving etc etc

kinda late but writing this anyway, ares has a save function where you can save everything on the map including way points objects and ai

[@MsFreegaza]

As someone with 3600 hours making missions in the editor both 2D and 3D, I would suggest AGAINST what drewski says about using mods ESPECIALLY MCC. That MCC is a jumbled pile of messy code,poorly optimised and you WILL run into issues making missions if you use it... one such is that your editor created WPs will break. Just learn to use vanilla assets,look at how real militaries solve problems tactically and strategicallly and build a mission based around the same thing. Keep things simple,its easy to get bogged down in the editor... Keep ,it,simple.
