Zeus is an amazing game changer. It takes just under 5 minutes to create a simple yet engaging mission on the fly to play with your buddies. And the remote control feature adds a ton of gameplay opportunities, being able to take control of allies or the opposition, to spice up combat scenarios in a new way. Best part about Zeus: It is the framework Bohemia Interactive is using to develop the full 3D editor. Can´t wait to see what they manage to do with it.
Today I show you how anyone with Arma 3 can use Zeus in the Editor. This can be great fun and its an excellent way of testing your skills by building your own missions.
***** Hi Luetin, what sound mod were you using during this video? The rockets and gattling gun sound far better than the vanilla ArmA 3 sounds. Thanks :-)
Thanks very much for this video. I've seen other videos about Zeus but they were drawn out and confusing. This one was short and to the point and gave me confidence to use Zeus.
I got the game nearly a year ago, I was severely discouraged because I couldn't figure out how to operate the editor. I felt my reach was limited, thanks for this.
I’m going be honest... this might just be the best video ever for game information. I’ve never had such a difficult time with a game and learn a TON in 20 minutes.
This help a lot..i already 1 year have arma 3 and just after see your video now i understand how to set the ueus editor...thank you...i subscribed bro...
Cheers luetin your zeus videos and the way you try to make the enviroment look as real as possible has helped us improve our zeus missions loads so thank you keep up the epic work and I couldn't stop laughing at your Doom video :)
Can you please upload more videos of missions that you have created or will create? They are so fun and interesting to watch :) thanks and always loved your high quality content of things!
Your game seems remarkably smooth, you mind sharing your rig and/or what settings you turned down? I have 2500k@4,5GHz and GTX970 and unless I set object quality to normal and sacrifice a lot of the viewing distance I get drops down to 30 fps just flying around in a helicopter in the editor, multiplayer is unacceptable...
Max You must remember that what is really taxing on Arma is AI and multiple scripts. If you open the editor and place just your unit in the map, I'm preatty sure you can bump everything up like Luetin did in this video (like 20000 m viewdistance etc). I can do it too on my rig. (i7 3.5 GHz, GTX760). But then as you add 50 AI foes, some other friendly AI, scripts that every frame has to check different things etc. You'll start to get huge drops in frame rate.
Marco Cattaneo I've never put anything more than a Ghosthawk on the map to fly around in myself and still get the frame drops especially in towns. I don't know, my specs don't seem that bad I mean the cpu is old but still overclocked easily competes with Haswells.
wow, i was playing like this and making maps in unity 3d free with free assets from the store, and then i heard of ARMA 3, and this is better cuz the map is already completed and you just place objects down...and the game actually works like a game because its a game and not just a stupid unusable prototype :)...im getting this game with my new computer, just because of this cool Zeus mode
I'm confused. when I load into editor from menu, my main menu looks different and so does my editor. my main non live editor has thr same ui as the Zeus editor, not the one shown at the start. and I can't find Zeus in it. although steam says Zeus is installed.
The video is nearly 2years old, and things changed. but its still the same, when you in the editor Press(F5) or on the 3 boxes in the top right corner, and then on the right side you will find Zeus at the bottom of the list, click on it and it will open up more options then the 5th option or so is "Game master" place it down somewhere along side with a player from (F1) section and start it up, default Zeus button ingame should be (Z). Have fun :D
Thank you for showing this, I like your vedio very much and I have a question to ask that is I saw you are using JSRS Dragon Fire mod, so do you have problems suck as lack of sound of MX rifles and 5.56 rifles? I do have this pronlem and Dragon fire still dosen't update for new version, so thank you again man ; )
When using Ares, do i have to click on every single tank to make them do an artillery attack or is there a way of giving the command to multiple vehicles at a time? /// Haven't played for a while and now I can't get my mouse control working from free view to actual mouse control. I tried 2xALT but it doesn't do anything..
How do you get more maps for Arma? Is it all bought as DLC and micro transactions or are there free ones I can get somewhere? I only played on one map for battle royale and the other things
+Andy Ponsonbreast The upcoming Apex DLC (Q2 2016) will include a new map ("terrain") called Tanoa, but otherwise yeah there's a bunch of community-made terrains as well.
How do you get the UI interface main menu like you have it. I recently bought it a few months ago during the summer sale and it has a completely different screen. Please help because it gets confusing at times attempting to go through the menu.
unrelated question...I see you know a good amount on editor so maybe you could help me with something..im trying to make aircraft only useable by pilots....do you know how too? id appreciate the help
How does one access Zeus after the Apex update if we can't even go to the editor? If I click 'editor' on the start menu and click a map, it brings up eden only, I can't find the old editor. Any help?
I'm sorry if Luetin mentioned it in the video and I missed it, but.. I saw him remote controlling AI units in a single click, what button is it? I always have to go to the modules section...
So are u pretty much telling me all i need to do is go to moldules and hit the zeus button i dont need to download it or buy a dlc how do i get the 3d 2d feature to work so i can use zeus and eden editor
How do you get zeus to work as a virtual entity though? like as another team, in the game, called zeus. I have it made, it shows zeus, i can join in but then it says "curator not synced to the game master module" and it just shows me the blue sky. How can i sync the zeus to my game master module?
awsome , i do on preview , but when i try open a multiplayer game, to open to my friends , my player no have ZEUS permition like on preview.... u know wathapen?
I've been looking on youtube for the video I saw a while ago using Zeus to hide the enemy AI's in buildings. So when you start the mission, you don't know where they are hiding in the buildings. Do you have any idea how to do this...You are the expert with Zeus.
Great vid and have always enjoyed your vids. A question if you could answer for me, I can not find the answer anywhere. The green boxs do not show up for me, any ideas as to why? (I have tried setting back to default and still no green boxes) Thanks and keep up the great work.
zeus is not a editor its a kind of gamemode so you cant save them what you can do is build the mission in a live servers and make your friends join when its done
just go to the multiplayer menu and click on new then put it to internet and give it a name so your friends can know whch one is your server then chosse the zeus missions
I can't turn back to my original character after being in zues, I'm running RHS, ACE, CBA, and CUPs terrians but surely those aren't interfeing with zues... I had rebinded my key to / but I don't think that would be a issue either, sos
i think you just put down a squad click on the one you want to be and click playable or something like that but i do know the button you click is a box that will fill in or unfill hope that helps
maybe an update on this is necessary. my day off and ive spent all day trying to figure out how to start this zeus thing, with NO JOY. the new menu system is totally different and im not having any luck. :{
+Corrender in the editor put 2 guys, 1 as player and 1 as playable, put a zeus module, and then use the sync (looks like a chain on the left bar) and sync it to both of the guys

Nice video. I picked the game a long time hago but never got the grips of it and I need to give it more time to really understand it,
Thank you for this great, no-nonsense explanation/tutorial. Very helpful Sir!
Great intro. As a new player this sort of guide is so useful and informative, more so when I'm still trying to figure stuff out. Much appreciated :)
Awesome stuff even five years later.
G'day! Thanks so much for this tutorial. I've never used ZEUS - I will now! :D
Cheers luetin your zeus videos and the way you try to make the enviroment look as real as possible has helped us improve our zeus missions loads so thank you keep up the epic work and I couldn't stop laughing at your Doom video :)
The best thing which any other gme fail to provide
Awesome tutorial for newbies like me, thanks !
I know this may have been repeated alot of times but what is his intro theme? I'm trying to find it everywhere but I can't find it
It's a brilliant tool. More games should adopt this kind of thing.
Can you please upload more videos of missions that you have created or will create? They are so fun and interesting to watch :) thanks and always loved your high quality content of things!

Aye I just bought the game I can't wait to play it!!!
0:07 anyone know where this song is from?
This is still very helpful. Thanks.
I wish you could drag the CONTROL unit or have a right click option in the Units list on the left!!!

Have the changes the lay out as mine is completely different in ui layout -_- whether mines an old version?

Is there a way to save made missions/scenarios so if I die I can attempt them again?
How do you get more maps for Arma? Is it all bought as DLC and micro transactions or are there free ones I can get somewhere? I only played on one map for battle royale and the other things

is it possible to set AI to respawn and repeat their function/task to create reoccurring missions? say for instance like on exile?
Hay what mods do you use to improve your zeus lake garisoning buildings
ARES
+Polish Buddy Thanls I found out bifore but thanks
Are there ever sales for Arma 3? I've been dying to play a mil sim, and just don't have 60 bucks just to spend on it :/
SexyBabyJesusZ go to instant gaming. 26 bucks right now.
It doesn’t cost $60 on steam
How do you edit a mission you have downloaded? In mission editor it was not showing any missions i had,
Or do you do it through zues in the mission?
unrelated question...I see you know a good amount on editor so maybe you could help me with something..im trying to make aircraft only useable by pilots....do you know how too? id appreciate the help
I don’t see the exact same ui in the editor. Completely different.
And it doesn’t simulate things in real time. How do I go back to this version?
How does one access Zeus after the Apex update if we can't even go to the editor? If I click 'editor' on the start menu and click a map, it brings up eden only, I can't find the old editor. Any help?
place any unit, and then place a zeus master marker under modules. Then right click the player and select play as char. Then you can go in as usual.
You can "toggle map"to switch between both editors. so the both editors are in one.
how do you place different units/vehicles from mods? do these units just add into the Zeus list or..?
A.K. Kharshiladze You need to activate the mod(s) first and then the units/vehicles appear to the unit list with logo on the right side of it.
i want to do zeus multiplayer with some friends, how do i do that?
I'm sorry if Luetin mentioned it in the video and I missed it, but.. I saw him remote controlling AI units in a single click, what button is it? I always have to go to the modules section...
ctrl + doubble left click
Polish Buddy Thank you
So are u pretty much telling me all i need to do is go to moldules and hit the zeus button i dont need to download it or buy a dlc how do i get the 3d 2d feature to work so i can use zeus and eden editor
Wow, I have to say, the older sounds for the Wipeout are much better. Especially the cannon
John Moore He is using a sound mod, JSRS 3. These have never been in vanilla arma
Ah, thank you
How do you remove things like if you make a car and you didn't mean to spawn it or just don't want it?
cursor over it, press delete.
But how do you set up all the mission markers, so players know what to do? Like points where they have to go and such
How do you get zeus to work as a virtual entity though? like as another team, in the game, called zeus. I have it made, it shows zeus, i can join in but then it says "curator not synced to the game master module" and it just shows me the blue sky. How can i sync the zeus to my game master module?
Is there a way you can turn an object without using shift because my shift key is broken.
awsome ,
i do on preview , but when i try open a multiplayer game, to open to my friends , my player no have ZEUS permition like on preview....
u know wathapen?
you should put in variable name for your unit then in zeus module put in that name into zeus owner (your unit = guy1 then put guy1 into owner of zeus)
LOL, my 1st landing the A-10 crash n burn!

download mod called "ARES".
I SMASHED THAT LIKE BUTTON SO HARD
Hey Luetin, I was wondering what mods you use when you play?
I've been looking on youtube for the video I saw a while ago using Zeus to hide the enemy AI's in buildings. So when you start the mission, you don't know where they are hiding in the buildings. Do you have any idea how to do this...You are the expert with Zeus.
That is incorrect
Great vid and have always enjoyed your vids. A question if you could answer for me, I can not find the answer anywhere. The green boxs do not show up for me, any ideas as to why? (I have tried setting back to default and still no green boxes) Thanks and keep up the great work.
Can i make the independent faction change side with zeus?
I think yes, it was somewhere in the modules.

What Mods are u using Luetin?
Is the intro sound clip part of something?
how do you save it to play with friends in a co-op? really usefull video btw sir
zeus is not a editor its a kind of gamemode so you cant save them
what you can do is build the mission in a live servers and make your friends join when its done
Can i host a sv in my own pc to play with 3 to 5 friends?
just go to the multiplayer menu and click on new

You can use ARES mod to save / load zeus made missions.
i been trying to put this into wasteland but when i add it i cant load into the mission pls help
I can't turn back to my original character after being in zues, I'm running RHS, ACE, CBA, and CUPs terrians but surely those aren't interfeing with zues... I had rebinded my key to / but I don't think that would be a issue either, sos
This changed so much pls make a new oen

How to do more players in Zeus? I want to make a mission with my friend, but we will both use Zeus.
+Corrender in the editor put 2 guys, 1 as player and 1 as playable, put a zeus module, and then use the sync (looks like a chain on the left bar) and sync it to both of the guys
I can’t open the zeus mode what is the key?

BOWLINBALL4EVER That is the sound of the gunfight in the distance on the start menu screen
It's gunfire.
Can I make a team deathmatch in Zeus mode?
Who do you sound like Mumbo-jumbo?
