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.

Getting Whitelisted

We are a whitelisted community. We ask for a minimal amount of steps to be completed ahead of time to vet new players and ensure they have a decent level of understanding of our server and the rules. The following steps must be completed to gain whitelisting and Discord/Teamspeak tags.

  • Create an ANZUSGaming Forum Account
  • Read the Server Rules
    • Take your time to understand the server rules before you play for the first time
  • Join the ANZUSGaming Discord Server
    • Note that you may want to wait 10 minutes after this step, as you will need to meet the requirements to type
  • In the Discord, locate the #linking channel and type /link YourSteam64IdHere
  • Join the ts.anzusgaming.com and locate the Requesting Tags channel.
  • Fill out the following template whilst waiting for a staff member to assist you.

To get your teamspeak UID

To get your Steam 64 UID

  • Go to Advanced, under the App Settings category.
  • Toggle "Developer Mode" to on.
  • Right-click your name in a message you have sent somewhere.
  • Click "Copy ID"

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.

Your first time on the server

You can view the hotkeys and keybinds on the server here.
