¶ INTRO MODULE - GETTING STARTED
This guide will go through all information you'll need to get you started, from out-of-game tools for communications in-game communications, mods and keybinds.
¶ DISCORD
For organization and out-of-game chatting, we use DISCORD. We usually host weekly missions every Friday.
You can sign-up for those missions in the #a3-mission-signups channel, which will also contain short-form briefing. For a more detailed briefing you can visit our Mission Board web application.
On discord you will also be able to find our MODLIST, which is located in #a3-announcements (check pinned messages if you cannot find the modlist).
¶ INSTALLING THE MODLIST
The process is pretty simple:
- Download the
FU_Modlist.htmlfile from Discord. - Open the Arma 3 Launcher.
- Open Presets menu.
- Click on Import.
- Select the downloaded
FU_Modlist.htmlfile.
The mods will now be loaded from Steam Workshop automatically and will start downloading.
¶ TEAMSPEAK
We use TEAMSPEAK for in-game communications, together with TFAR plugin which allows us to use Teamspeak for realistic proximity and radio comms.
First you need to download and install Teamspeak 3:
