What's inside TFAR

  1. Understand TFAR Operation Modes

    master

    TFAR operates in two distinct modes depending on the gameplay requirements:

    Lightweight Mode (Default)

    Designed for cooperative (PvE) games.

    • Behavior: Players can hear dead players, users not currently playing, or users on different servers/without the plugin (standard TeamSpeak behavior).
    • In-game: Players on the same server with the plugin enabled will hear each other according to "radio laws" (frequency and distance).

    Serious Mode

    Designed for organized PvP matches.

    • Setup: A TeamSpeak administrator must create a channel named TaskForceRadio with the password 123.
    • Workflow:
      1. Players enable the plugin in TeamSpeak.
      2. Players join a side channel for briefing.
      3. As the mission loads, players are automatically forwarded to the TaskForceRadio channel.
    • Behavior: Players hear only other live players who have TFAR enabled, are on the same server, and are on the same team. Dead players can only communicate among themselves. Upon respawn, players return to team-based restrictions.
    • Cleanup: After the mission, players are transferred back to their original briefing channel.

  3. Install Task Force Arrowhead Radio (TFAR)

    master

    To install TFAR, follow these steps:

    1. Download and unzip the radio archive (e.g., 0.9.7.3.zip).
    2. TeamSpeak Setup: Copy the contents of the TeamSpeak 3 Client folder into your TeamSpeak root folder.
    3. Arma 3 Setup: Copy the contents of the Arma 3 folder into your Arma 3 game directory (typically ... SteamApps\common\Arma 3).

    Note on CBA (Community Base Addons): TFAR includes the most recent version of CBA. If you already have CBA installed, it is recommended to let the installation replace the existing folder to ensure version compatibility.

    # Example installation steps (conceptual)
# 1. Unzip archive
# 2. Move 'TeamSpeak 3 Client/*' -> 'TeamSpeak Root/'
# 3. Move 'Arma 3/*' -> 'SteamApps/common/Arma 3/'
