I tried it in Antistasi Ultimate. It works and actually gives a cool extra feature: you can command some of the garrisoned soldiers as if they were HC squads. But this also causes frequent lag and mess when using High command, fast-travel, some commander options, or even just when watching the map.
This might be solved if there's any way to take some sqads out of the DCE's panel without eliminating them, I don't know if possible yet.
As others said, it would be good to have floating descriptions or even a brief user manual, in order to take the best of this pretty useful mod.

Your mods are wicked. Any way to add descriptions over the tiles when hovering with the mouse? Would make using the tool way easier.
Catertico May 13 @ 8:34am 
Do you know if this is compatible with antistasi? If that haven't been tested, does the mod affect AI units action or just the way orders are given to them?

It seems that the objectives are non-functional in multiplayer, and can't be captured.

I really want to like this mod, but 99% of the pictures I am clicking on, I have no idea what they do. When hovering over a picture, they all need some sort of tool-tip that appears, telling the player what each picture will do when clicked on. Genuinely don't understand how you thought the player will just magically know what each picture means. And most of the time, nothing happens anyways when my character shouts a command.

How to Spawn RHS Vehicles With Define Reinforcement Module ? its Only Spawning The Troops Inside The Vehicles But Not The Vehicles.

Is there an option where I don't control EVERY group of the side? Or a way to remove them from my HC group.
BrthrCPT40K Mar 21 @ 6:21pm 
@samneale having the same issue. it only adds the personal waypoint and doesn't issue any command to another squad. I also looked and shift left click cannot be changed for the map as it is hard coded into the game.
LEE O C Mar 20 @ 11:12pm 
yo can i hide side chat? thought i did it b4 but cant find setting now
SamNeale Mar 13 @ 12:36am 
Don't quite understand how to add waypoints in the command menu. On Mac there seems to be a conflict between setting the built in Arma3 waypoint (the white circle with black dot) keybind (shift + click on map) and DCE's one which is also shift + click on map.

The command menu sort of works on client side but everything else is server sided like the modules, certain functions, etc. I haven't used it in a long time but it wouldn't hurt to try.
Asmo Mar 5 @ 5:15am 
Hi please this is client size or Server size
Tiberius Mar 1 @ 5:37am 
Loving the mod, especially when i'm commanding a large scale operation.

Here's my suggestion. Anyway i hope more update to this mod comes soon, especially QOL updates.

* When the mouse cursor hover to a command, there would be a text like "Move", "Get in", Etc.
* Remove groups/units automatically being added to HC instead, make players select which groups/units they like to command.
(Manually editing the source code "DCE\Scripts\Command\RegisterGroups.sqf" is ok i guess but some of us don't really know navigate that and edit the code for ourselves, take me for example.)

How come DCE high command used to work for me? Now when I try it just says "Function key not defined." I'm a little confused.
Oldmanfatstak Feb 20 @ 11:31pm 
@Popo Bigles I got the last steps down I guess I'm missing that first part. Where do i find the objective objects in the editor? Thanks for helping a newb lol
Popo Bigles Feb 20 @ 1:47pm 
You put down Objective objects in the Eden editor, set up the module, then whenever Allies or Enemies are in the POI radius it'll start a KoTH until BLUFOR or OPFOR capture it and then it'll start generating income. You can copy-paste them too.

I haven't used it in a while so my recollection may be wrong.
Oldmanfatstak Feb 20 @ 9:15am 
Anyone know how to get the capturing of objectives for income to work?
Glendening Feb 18 @ 3:00pm 
Seconding @the Whimsical Wanderer. Is where an image or list somewhere of what all the buttons do?
K4mpfSock3 Feb 14 @ 9:57am 
Hi Drongo, is it possible to only show the commands but not the squad markers? And can civilians be exempt? At the moment only the commands/waypoints and the squad markers can be displayed together.

And is there a way to add squad members to the HC and add them back to your own squad?

I use the mod in combination with Antistasi and showing the enemy position as well as that of the civilians takes away some of the difficulty.
lty Feb 12 @ 10:49pm 
Don't you want to add a convoy system?
SauravX Feb 4 @ 7:00am 
does this mod allow player to command AI IR laser usage?
The Whimsical Wanderer Jan 22 @ 5:34pm 
is there a legend describing what each picture means as a command?
Drongo  [author] Jan 21 @ 12:09am 
Client and server need the mod.
Nefil͡imP͠L̀ Jan 20 @ 12:24pm 
its server side or client side mod?
FreeSoldja Jan 16 @ 7:04pm 
A must have for me since years
DripGottPoseidon Jan 16 @ 10:22am 
I am sorry but I have no idea what to do. I found DCE\Scripts\Command\RegisterGroups.sqf in the source code like 3 times I think but I don´t know what to do with it. Also which line 34 out of the 3?
Drongo  [author] Jan 16 @ 1:59am 
As stated below, you need to edit the source code. Comment out line 34 of DCE\Scripts\Command\RegisterGroups.sqf.

Hi everyone, is it a bug or intended that all squads on my side are added to my High Command?

I want to use this mod together with Drongo's Air Operations and Anti-Stasi-Ultimate, but unfortunately I reach the High Command limit very quickly and can't lead any more squads into the field.
DripGottPoseidon Jan 15 @ 10:34am 
First of all I love ur mods Drongo. Second, is there a way to remove units from high command list. Using ur mod in antistasi and yeah i know it is not intended but it´s just too good to play without. Because of that it sometimes registers zivilian as squads for high command which can be irritating
Drongo  [author] Jan 15 @ 1:03am 
You would need to edit the source code.
Monk Enthusiast Jan 14 @ 7:15pm 
FYI it's because garrison units are automatically added when I start my game.
Monk Enthusiast Jan 14 @ 7:13pm 
Is there anyway to turn off squads automatically being added to the mod when in game? I primarily want to do this just for antistasi ultimate.
Drongo  [author] Jan 11 @ 1:58am 
You could have to edit the source files, the license supports doing so.
CorporateEddy17 Jan 10 @ 9:40pm 
Anyway to turn off spot hints permanently?
Hawkwood Dec 27, 2024 @ 5:04pm 
Having an issue. Trying to use high command on my buddies liberation server but my squad of infantry wont get inside of the chinook. They won't move at all. As of right now Lambs and VCOM are both enabled but idk if that's messing with it or not
The Don Dec 24, 2024 @ 7:46am 
So I have a minor problem. I accidentally took control of another soldier, and then my original body died. Meaning I no longer have Zeus rights and such. My original body did not respawn so I can't "re-enter" my old body
Drongo  [author] Dec 24, 2024 @ 4:11am 
Thanks for the report, it will be fixed in the next update.
zdo Dec 23, 2024 @ 10:18pm 
There is a bug in HealOther.sqf

it is
{if(_x in _healingItems)exitWith{_canHeal=TRUE}}forEach(items _man);

should be
{if(_x in _healingItems)exitWith{_hasKit=TRUE}}forEach(items _man);
Nemesis Nov 26, 2024 @ 11:09am 
Hey, no. No AI mods that are controlling the AI behavior. Only things like this that do nothing but give me more options for control.
Drongo  [author] Nov 26, 2024 @ 2:52am 
@Nemesis
Do you have any AI mods running?

@Max Shadow
My small group uses it a lot in our big ops, it works well. Everyone can move everything though. There is a reinforcements system, there is an explanation of how to set it up in the readme.
Max Shadow Nov 25, 2024 @ 8:49pm 
How does this work in multiplayer? Does it restrict what each player can do with DCE or everyone can do everything?
Also, another question: Is there a way to create reinforcement groups dynamically? (I mean, after the mission has started)
Nemesis Nov 17, 2024 @ 10:37am 
Anybody else have annoying move markers constantly put on their screen, I constantly have to go into the panel, find my squad, then remove the order. I don't understand how or why that happens since nobody is or can be, giving me orders.
Drongo  [author] Nov 16, 2024 @ 5:16pm 
Antistasi has a lot of scripting going on, I don't know how it interacts with DCE. There are ways to exclude groups from DCE in the readme, but I don't know how to apply the code to Antistasi.
Popo Bigles Nov 16, 2024 @ 3:29pm 
hmmm... :dos2skull: idk sorry
DeadSoul3 Nov 16, 2024 @ 1:59pm 
Doesn´t work either as still all the other Squads are sent to HC
Popo Bigles Nov 15, 2024 @ 1:00pm 
Use the C2 Command mod with it to get around the HC issue via C2s HC UI.
DeadSoul3 Nov 15, 2024 @ 8:04am 
Is there a way to disable the HC function ? i would love to use this mod while playing Antistasi but it isn´t possible as every troop is sent to HC, which in the end makes it unplayable ^^
Alex Pryde Sep 26, 2024 @ 3:39am 
something very nice would be some tooltips for the buttons, some of them arent the clearest when starting
im in the process of figuring out how to use this mod to get an experience similar to the alive mods cause it feels like it can but i could be mistaken
pve only so far
im also wondering if custom factions could be possible similar to alive orbat
Sunbather Sep 23, 2024 @ 7:54am 
Is there a command that forces the driver in my vehicle to go faster? I.e. my whole squad is in a truck, one of my units is the driver, a waypoint is given, the driver drives. How to speed him up without driving manually via command?
I am only asking this here because I seem to remember there was a button in DCE for it but I can't find it anymore.
Палач Рока Sep 2, 2024 @ 4:33am 
Author, I have a problem. After giving commands to units, for example, to use first aid kits, then my character also starts using them right in the middle of the battle
