Installation Guide
Part 1: Steam Workshop
The majority of our mods are hosted on the steam workshop. These mods will automatically update so long as your steam settings allow them to.
To install these mods, download the latest auto-config file from the top of this page. Open the Arma 3 launcher and navigate to the mods section. Click the drop-down in the top right and select “Import”, then choose the autoconfig file. You will be prompted to subscribe to all of our mods, and a preset will be created in the upper right corner of the launcher.
Part 2: Arma 3 Sync (A3S)
Some of our mods are not available through the steam workshop,Ā but are hosted by us through A3S. You will need to update these mods manually.
Before starting, you may need to declare addon search directories within A3S. To do this, navigate to the addon options tab and click the first button on the right-hand side, “Add a new search directory”. Set this to whatever folder you want to downloadĀ your mods to.
If you wish to launch the game with A3S rather than the standard launcher, you will also need to add your steam workshop folder as a search directory. By default this can be found at /Steam/steamapps/common/Arma 3/!Workshop. Note that you will need to configure windows to show hidden files in order to see this folder.
To install these mods, launch A3S and navigate to the repositories tab. Click the first button on the right-hand side, “Add a new Repository”. Enter the following auto-config URL, click import, then click ok.
ftp://149.56.28.144/.a3s/autoconfig
Our repository should now be listed in A3S. Highlight the SOAR Gaming repository and click the sixth button on the right-hand side,Ā “Connect to repository”. This will open a new tab and check for addons. Once it has finished checking, select a download destination, click select all, then click the start download button on the left-hand side.
A3S will prompt you to install Task Force Radio (TFAR) automatically. Do not accept this prompt. TFR must be installed manually at the end of this guide to avoid potential issues.
Once they are downloaded, you will need to add them to the ArmaĀ 3 launcher. Under the mods section of the launcher, click the “Local mod” button at the top, then highlight all of the mods you just downloaded and press “Select folder” at the bottom of the window. This will import all of the mods to the launcher. Finally, you should save these mods as part of the presetĀ you created earlier.
Part 3: Task Force Radio
The TFAR mod has already been installed for Arma, but you still need to install the Teamspeak plugin.Ā Navigate to ‘moddirectoryĀ > @tfar > teamspeak’ and run the plugin installer.
To enable the plugin, open TeamspeakĀ and go to ‘Tools > Options > Addons’.
That’s it! Connect to the server to verify that everything installed correctly. If you are able to load into the mission, then everything is working correctly! Connection information can be found in the getting started guide.
Optional Mods
Any clientside audio/visual mods can be used on our server. This includes mods such as JSRS, Blastcore, and Shacktac UI.
