Getting Started

Introduction to ANZUS Gaming: Arma 3 Roleplay

Welcome to ANZUSGaming, this guide will try and get you started on the server and teach you the best way to go about your day on the server. The server has many features and complex functions that may seem daunting initially; you will learn a lot with the correct advice and help from the players around you.

If you have already set up your game and TFAR, you can follow the "Day One" guide.

Setting up Task Force Radio

ANZUS does not use the vanilla voice system you find in the standard Arma 3 game and most Altis Life servers, we use Task Force Radio, a TeamSpeak 3 plugin you will most commonly associate with Milsim communities.

Please note, that we currently do not support TeamSpeak 5, and you will have to download TeamSpeak from the page you can find here.

Here is a guide on how to install our new Task Force Radio plugin that we deployed with the 6.5 update.

The server will not let you join without TeamSpeak open and TFAR enabled. You cannot have two instances of TeamSpeak running whilst TFAR is activated.

Push-To-Talk

Setting a "Push-To-Talk" hotkey in TeamSpeak is advised. You will use this in-game to talk to people close to you. Your radio is set to Caps Lock by default.

Set or update your push to talk:

• Open TeamSpeak
• Alt + P to open the Options menu
• Select "Capture" to view your microphone settings
• Under "Activation", check "Push-To-Talk"
• Check or set your Push-To-Talk button
• Ensure your microphone is set as your "Capture Device"

You can now use your Push-To-Talk button for proximity chat in the game. Using Ctrl + Tab cycles through your voice volumes: whisper, normal, and yelling.
