is the mission broken i cant build a FOB at all there is no build opions

@Shadow 0-1
That is currently not supported. If you want to change it you will have to edit the "zeus_synchro.sqf" file and adjust the costs for zeus actions there.

Hey @luca,

loving the gamefile, but Im curious how to give zues abilities because it locked for me as I cant put down any assets. where is the section in the file where I can change the properties/abilities of zeus?
@Luca

Got it sussed now, thanks to you 👍🫡 Just need to work on my cr@p gameplay, lol 🤣🫠🤔🤫🤭
Luca  [author] 29 Mar @ 4:32pm 
@Bret Walda Creator of Curios
Yeah well that probably wont work. Zeus is limited to chaning grouping and giving movement orders.
@Luca,

Cheerz for the swift reply 👍 I'll have another go 🤞🏻

LCtrl +Space is supposed to open 'High Command', I believe? I've used it in vanilla as well as with the, "Hurtgen Forest - Kall Trail" mod?

Anyway, thanks again for the timely reply; off to give it another bash right now!

It looks a great mod, btw 😎👍🫡

To control AI squads with zeus just order them normally. If you group them up with you in zeus you can order them as AI squad mates. Not sure what Ctrl+Space is supposed to do tbh.

To start a new campaign open the mission params when in the lobby, you can delete your progress there.
@Luca

I's probably me, or something that I'm doing wrong, because for some reason, I am unable to 'take control', of the ai squads that I have built at my 1st FOB? I have tried pressing LCtrl+Space, but nothing happens?

I built/recruited the squads from the ready-made tab, not individually. Having built/recruited these squads (x2), + x1 Zeus squad, and used up my initial manpower., I thought I'd close the game and try again the next day; hoping that it would give me an opportunity to start a new campaign, alas, I just start back, same as before?

How do I start a fresh campaign? I am using my own dedicated server, launched in MP, but playing sole (or hoping to, lol)

No other Zeus mods enabled, but I have tried it with them since, as well, with no difference?

I do have a few other mods enabled, though, so could they be the problem? I'll try again, without any of them enabled, and see if that sorts it out?

Cheerz for any suggestions, provided my query makes any sense, lol?

Read the first message I sent to you again, it explains it. You have to use one of the halftracks to build a base first. Then when you are close to the base it will give you a bunch of extra options (no need to look at the base, just be close to it).
exmel92 19 Mar @ 8:05am 
@Luca, the problem is that i have driven all 4 cars and when i look at them there are only standard options to do things with the car. i have disabled all mods and still cant build.
The build option is selected when i look at the car by scrolling the mouse wheel i guess? i dont have that option.
Luca  [author] 19 Mar @ 7:44am 
@exmel92
You can only get AI by building them at a base you constructed, zeus only lets you command units and not build them.
When you build them there is two buttons. One will put them in your squad, the other will make them only be commanded using the zeus interface.
exmel92 19 Mar @ 7:41am 
@Luca, thanks for your answer, but what am I doing wrong,😅? I drove away from the starting position in all the cars. I can only sit as a driver, sit as a passenger and open the hatches. Next to the truck with a machine gun on the cabin, I can go to the armory and move back to the headquarters. I start as a commander, but in the Zeus editor I see that my platoon is not alpha 1-1, but another one. I use the mods zeus enchanted, better inventory, cba a3 and all in one command menu. Please help!
Luca  [author] 18 Mar @ 7:54am 
@exmel92
There is a halftrack on the road (open back, unarmed) which you can take and drive into a field (away from the starting base and away from any enemy location). Then when you get out and look at that vehicle you can use it to build a base. Once the base is built you can recruit AI units.
exmel92 18 Mar @ 7:10am 
Sorry, English is not my native language and I did not quite understand the tutorial. At the beginning of the campaign, I have to liberate settlements alone? because I can not hire units playing as a commander. I do not understand how to call the recruitment menu.
Dark Demon 22 Feb @ 8:49pm 
Your right I forgot about that's my bad been so damn long. Good work none the less
Luca  [author] 21 Feb @ 10:03am 
@Dark Demon
This is literally the original liberation by ZBug as is written in the description, its lucky I got his permission I guess.
Dark Demon 21 Feb @ 9:15am 
This is litterly liberation Rx by psiko lmao lucky it's open source I guess
HazBo 27 Jan @ 4:22pm 
Also liking this version of liberation, not having to worry about production and storage makes a nice change of pace. However no combination of revive seems to work seems to work? players die instantly and are not put in a "downed" state. Playing on a hosted/dedicated server.
[III%]kcapazzi 25 Jan @ 11:15am 
I just want to say this is by far one of the best versions of Liberation I've played. Normandy could stand to be a little better optimized but the map looks great and everything runs as it should. 10/10 for Luca thanks for the upload!
SGTGalou 20 Jan @ 2:51pm 
Hi,
How do you make a FOB?
Luca  [author] 30 Dec, 2024 @ 7:18am 
@☭ Calabresa ☭
Nah the DLC have no impact on it, though I fail to see what could cause this inconsistent behaviour.
Never had the issue, neither dedicated nor local. Since it works for your friend it also can not be related to the steam upload which was another guess I had since I was testing with the "uncompiled" version. But that be ruled out now as well.
☭ Calabresa ☭ 28 Dec, 2024 @ 2:39pm 
I'm hosting through LAN for my friends through Radmin. A friend of mine has the same issue, though one of my other friends has managed to create a new save and for him it works perfectly normal. I even tried buying all the default DLC thinking maybe I was missing something.
Luca  [author] 28 Dec, 2024 @ 1:43pm 
You guys hosting local or dedicated?
Cam 28 Dec, 2024 @ 10:25am 
like everyone else is saying. no units in zeus
☭ Calabresa ☭ 28 Dec, 2024 @ 6:14am 
I am having the same issue as @Vivid Naz - no zeus-built squad or unit appear on Zeus mode so I can give them order. There's no way to select them at all. I have activated perms and given myself all perms, still nothing.
Machine Gun Kelly 22 Dec, 2024 @ 8:03am 
@Vivid Naz - I will go a little 'deeper' on what @Luca stated:

"...You can try file verification as well as deleting and redownloading the missionfile..."

What happens AT TIMES, is when you unsubscribe from Steam, it just set the 'Hidden' attribute for that folder. IT IS STILL THERE. (The 'who/what/why' on this, I can not answer.)

So, when you re-subscribe, it just UN-HIDES IT!

And guess what? YOU HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ONCE AGAIN!

Also, and I CHALLENGE ANY TO PROVE OTHERWISE (with proof), file verifacations, HDD read/writes, transmission protocols, etc. - NONE ARE PERFECT! You CAN GET ERRORS AND NOT KNOW ABOUT IT!

GRANTED, the number is VERY large, e.g,. HDD error rate is for every BIT, there is a 1*10^12 chance of the bit BEING WRONG.

SO, to ENSURE the BEST outcome:

Unsubscribe
ENSURE it is ACTUALLY DELETED, NOT HIDDEN
Re-Subscribe

Other things to examine:

Corrupt OS
Malware/virus
Bad/failing HDD (platter/RAM) sectors


Good luck from a 40+ year degreed Digital Tech

Vivid Naz 21 Dec, 2024 @ 9:08am 
Okay strange, will run through the steps you have outlined there. Sorry to be a pain on this @Luca
Luca  [author] 21 Dec, 2024 @ 8:38am 
@Vivid Naz
Loaded the mission to verify and yes, it works just fine on my end.
I can build the units and see them in the zeus interface and un/group them, give waypoint orders and such.
Quite frankly I have no clue what it might be on your end. You can try file verification as well as deleting and redownloading the missionfile and resetting the savegame (via mission params).
Vivid Naz 21 Dec, 2024 @ 8:17am 
Also I am in the commander slot @Luca
Vivid Naz 21 Dec, 2024 @ 8:11am 
* Removed all other mods
* Verified game files
* Enabled permissions
* Recruited a group of soldiers using Build( zeus)
* Open up zeus
* still no soldiers :( only seeing myself & a halftrack

@Luca
Luca  [author] 21 Dec, 2024 @ 7:46am 
@Vivid Naz
Are you using the commander slot? Check if you have the permissions system enabled, if yes also that permissions are available for yourself. Make sure to not have any zeus related mods running. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the units to show up too.
Vivid Naz 21 Dec, 2024 @ 4:57am 
@Luca, tried KP liberation and seem to move with Zeus but not a fan of how the mission is setup. I want to get this working properly
Vivid Naz 21 Dec, 2024 @ 4:57am 
@Luca thanks for the response. I keep selecting build as zeus but still the characters are not marked when I go to the zeus menu :(. Could I have maybe set something on the param list to mess this up? happy to share a screenshot too!
Luca  [author] 21 Dec, 2024 @ 3:26am 
@Vivid Naz
When you build troops there should be two buttons, one to have them built as part of your squad the other to have them built as zeus units.
Vivid Naz 20 Dec, 2024 @ 5:44pm 
Anyone know how I can see my troops on zeus?? I can only see myself and the mobile spawn point
Vivid Naz 20 Dec, 2024 @ 5:24pm 
Okay all of a sudden the half track is available, now it seems I cant move the troops from ZEUS :sad:

@RoyalDart30 - No need to feel silly!

Being silly, is you NOT asking! ;)

'There is no such thing as a dumb question; for knowledge is gained when asking'

RoyalDart30 15 Dec, 2024 @ 6:53am 
Hi Luca,

I just tested it, and you're absolutely right—works like a charm! Can't believe I missed that; I feel a bit silly now, haha. Thanks for clearing that up and for the quick reply!

Appreciate the assistance!

Cheers,

@RoyalDart30
The arsenal support hotkeys: CTRL+S for saving loadouts, CTRL+L for loading them.
RoyalDart30 15 Dec, 2024 @ 2:05am 
Hello,

My apologies if this question has been addressed already—I searched through the comments but couldn’t find a definitive answer.

Is there currently a way to save loadouts persistently? While the "SET FOR RESPAWN" option is available, it only works for the current session. If a player disconnects and reconnects, they need to redo their loadout from scratch.

Any guidance or tips on how to address this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and for sharing such a fun mission with the community!

Best regards,

RoyalDart30

@Cornfedman19, @FIREBAAT - For ME, the path is:

"L:\NVM\Users\Admin\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\Odysseus\Saved\steam"

For YOU, it will probably be something like:

"C:\Users\YOUR PROFILE NAME\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\YOUR ARMA PROFILE NAME\Saved\steam"

Here, you will find the PBO.

The above path will contain ALL Steam downloaded mods.


Do yourself a BIG favor: MAKE A SHORTCUT TO THIS FOLDER! You will NOT regret it either! ;)

.../steamapps/workshop/content/107410/3009623233, but the file is a _legacy.bin.
Luca  [author] 28 Sep, 2024 @ 2:51pm 
@Cornfedman19
No idea where steams saves them by default, you should be able to google that though.
Cornfedman19 28 Sep, 2024 @ 2:44pm 
So, is there a specific location to find the pbo file for the mission? I'm trying to find it so i can add this to a server im putting up for my friends but its not where it should be.
Luca  [author] 28 Sep, 2024 @ 1:08am 
@portnoy
The markers come from radio towers that mark enemy units within range. As units move the markers are not 100% on target but just a rough indicator. Sometimes they also mark stragglers or surviving crew, meaning it might be anything from a full squad, vehicles or a single man. So sometimes it can be hard to find what they are pointing towards, especially if you are on the ground.
atsu 27 Sep, 2024 @ 6:43pm 
Sometimes I get intel markers spawning but there's nothing there. The marker disappears and then reappears a little further away. If I go there, then the same thing happens. Is that supposed to happen? Great work, by the way! We are having a real blast with this. Thank you very much.

@Solewar
Like I said, bring it back to a FOB and you can recycle it...
Solewar 16 Sep, 2024 @ 4:42am 
That is, you can dispose of the boxes without a built recycler?
Luca  [author] 16 Sep, 2024 @ 4:26am 
@Solewar
Because this is not based on KP Liberation.
