Installation

Step 1: ARMA III Setup

Make sure you have ARMA III installed and the APEX DLC, as we use Tanoa and its assets quite often.

Step 2: Install our modlist

All of our mods are found in the steam workshop, make sure you are subscribed to all of the following mods: * TypicalPhineas ARMA Friday Modlist

Step 3: Install Teamspeak3

We use teamspeak 3 to facilitate our radio communications with the Task Force Radio mod. Make sure you have the latest version of teamspeak3 installed as well.

Step 4: Install the Teamspeak 3 Task Force Radio plugin

Download the latest version of task force radio and:

  • Extract the .zip archive
  • Install the TFR Teamspeak Plugin by double-clicking the Plugin Installer in the @task_force_radioteamspeak folder.
  • We recommend using the “task_force_radio.ts3_plugin” only and don’t use the “task_force_radio_3.1Compat.ts3_plugin”
  • Make sure Caps Lock key is not used for talking in TeamSpeak
  • Turn off voice over network (VON) in ARMA 3 or change key to different than Caps Lock (to avoid voice doubling).

Step 5: Make sure you are on the ArmaFriday discord server

Join the ARMA Friday discord server here and look for the next ArmaFriday session in the #arma-signup text chat channel. There will be a link to a google form to sign-up for the next event.

Information you need to know

Arma Friday is streamed by the TypicalPhineas Twitch channel. This comes with two implicit rules: We jest, joke around and have fun, but we keep our language PG-13. Phineas retains the perogative to remove any player from his stream. http://armafriday.com/#about
