Team One Tactical ACRE2

Within our community we use the ACRE2 mod in order to communicate whilst ingame. It simulates real life speaking and hearing using Teamspeak and ArmA 3 as its main programs. It also adds multiple radio's which can be used for long distance communication. It is important that you set this mod/plugin up before joining one of our sessions.

Follow the following steps to ensure that your ACRE2 works:

Using ACRE2 requires having the latest version of Teamspeak

https://www.teamspeak.com/downloads

Make sure that you choose the version that matches your computer version.

Its is advised that when using Teamspeak that you launch it as administrator.

There is two ways to do this, you can either go to the following link: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/172178-acre2-public-beta-release/ and get the seperate mod there or you can install the entire Team One Tactical modset which includes ACRE2. In order to do that you must first install Swifty, a handy tool which allows the creation of reposetories and downloading Arma 3 mods.

A guide on installing Swifty will be here:

Before moving on double check wether you have the right plugins installed. If the ACRE2 mod was downloaded correctly the ACRE2 files should automatically be installed in your Teamspeak plugins folder.

As you can see in the image, I have “acre2_win64.dll” Since I have 64bit TS, this is correct.

This step requires you to have Teamspeak open.

Firstly, check that your settings are set up correctly. The following is mostly a reccomendation so feel free to not follow this to the letter.

I would suggest that you enable “Always set clients 3D positions when available”, as well as switching your playback mode to “Direct sound”

Secondly, ensure that your ACRE2 is activated in the Teamspeak Plugins. Go to the Settings tab and then to Plugins. Here you will find a checkbox. Make sure that the checkbox next to ACRE2 is checked.

Third and last, check the status of the ACRE2 plugin. If you click on yourself in Teamspeak a tab on the right should display your information like so:

Notice how in the bottom it says “Arma Connected: Yes”. This is because I have Arma activated and a conncection between Arma, Teamspeak and ACRE2 is made. If Arma is not running, but ACRE2 is, the message in the bottom should switch to “Arma Connected: No”.

Now you have succesfully installed ACRE2!
