Question: Saving Ongoing Zeus Missions

[Flash]

Hey good people of ArmA, I've been wondering for a while now, whilst doing a Dynamic Zeus Campaign of a fictional Chernarussian war. And is there any way possible to save everything in the mission in some sort of save/mission file? By everything I mean destroyed/damaged buildings/vehicles, saved loadouts of player, and perhaps AI.

That's all I've wanted to ask, thanks in advance!

Yes you can, use the achilles zeus mod.

Thank you! I'll be testing it out later.

Does the Achillies Zeus mod compared to Standard Ares, actually save loadouts of units, destroyed buildings and the damage on vehicles. And the way to save it is to go to Modules/Developer Tools/Copy Mission SQF, correct?

The achilles mod is just an addition to ares, pretty much everything from ares but a few new additions, and yes copy mission sqf that is correct

So essentially it will only save the AI, Vehicles and Objects like in the normal Ares, but not what happened on the map (eg. destroyed houses)?

Well I haven't tested the buildings quite yet, but I have tested the vehicles, I had a destroyed Mi-24V when saving the SQF, but when executing the code in the developer tools section, the Mi-24V is good and kicking. Is there any other way to save the mission or?

Hey guys I don't know if you still check this but after I make an sqf file what do i do with it? How do i load it in?

You use the modul named something like "execute code" or something like that. You paste the code in it and hit enter.

How does it copy, I installed it but it doesn't work

Achilles IS NOT a addition to Ares, Achilles and Ares should not be run side by side.

Ares mod has been abandoned for months now.

Achilles is the spirtiaul successor to Ares. All you need to do is run Achilles on your Zeus PC and on your server.

Is there a way for the save to save my objects and units as actual units editable in Zeus. If I save my mission with a jet, when I load it I cannot do anything with the jet yet when I was making the mission I could.

Use Zeus module edit objects and select all in mission on the drop down. I am looking for a way to save a mission after building it with Zeus as well. Did this work?

What the tab and function name to save the mission status in Aquiles?

I see that you can save Zeus items...but when I reload them, they are not editable in Zeus...unless I'm doing something wrong?

[Kurmit]

that's the problem here - it saves everything but it's not editable

In Eden there is an option under general settings, I believe, that is a check box for Zeus objects. It makes everything in the mission editable. That may help you.

I can't find that setting in Eden anywhere.
