Achilles is a gameplay modification for Arma 3. It expands the Zeus real-time editor with many new additions as well as provides bug fixes.
Achilles started as an expansion to Ares mod, which was created by Anton Struyk. Achilles became the de facto successor to Ares at the point the latter was no longer updated. Achilles has already grown into a splendid project, but new additions are still to come!

Check out the Achilles Wiki and the Achilles Tutorial Series on YouTube. The documentation is rather limited at the time and thus, you will certainly have questions. We will gladly answer them on our Discord server.
Please use our Issue Tracker for these kinds of purposes. In the case of a bug report, please only use a minimal set of mods (i.e. only use other mods than the required ones if they are clearly related to the issue).
We always welcome contribution to the repository and thank you for your work! We will update the list of contributors.
What you need to know:
- Fork the Achilles repository
- Set up your local development environment
- Do your stuff
- Create your pull request
And then we will have a look at your work!
- Clone your forked repository
- Set up your add-on builder (either get Hephaestus or use the AchillesAddonBuilder.bat in the repository)
A good starting point for your new module is the custom module framework. We will gladly help you to port your custom module to Achilles (message us on our Discord server).
You have to edit the stringtable.xml. The basics about string tables can be found on the Bohemia Interactive Wiki. If you don't want to edit the file with a text editor, you can use a dedicated tool such as Tabler.
