I've managed to get TS3 Overlay working for A3 now and I recall some other people mentioned last night that they were having trouble with it, so this is what I did.
Open the TS3 Overlay settings via Settings - Plugins, then where it says Profile, select a game (it doesn't matter which) and the bottom line where it says "Your configuration file and the log files are located here" will become clickable, so click on that and in the folder that opens, edit the config_user.ini file and make sure it contains the following:
[globals]
initial_warning_dialog_shown=3.7.23
[ARMA2OA.EXE]
overlay.display.show_avatar=true
dll.disable_loading=false
statistics.doesnt_crash_in_version=3.7.23
[ARMA3.EXE]
overlay.display.show_avatar=true
dll.disable_loading=false
statistics.doesnt_crash_in_version=3.7.23
d3d10.enable=true
d3d11.enable=true
[default]
videorecording.codec.params=
videorecording.codec.name=
overlay.display.fontfile=arial.ttf
overlay.display.fontcolor.talking=FFFF007F
overlay.popup.fontsize=12
overlay.display.fontsize=12
overlay.display.backgroundcolor=FF000000
overlay.display.fontcolor.silent=80F2C700
overlay.display.fontcolor.channel=FF999900
x64.enable=false
popup.initialization.backgroundcolor=
overlay.display.fadeouttime=100
overlay.initialization.height=180
overlay.initialization.mode=minimal
dll.disable_loading=true
d3d8.enable=false
d3d10.enable=false
opengl.enable=false
d3d9.enable=true
d3d11.enable=false
dll.force_loading=true
overlay.initialization.width=192
overlay.initialization.xpos=500
overlay.initialization.ypos=3
overlay.display.window.opacity=1
d3d9.use_present_hook=false
popup.initialization.duration=3
There's a load of other games in there, so I haven't pasted the whole file, just the relevant parts so don't go deleting the rest!
The [default] section is set to disabled so that it only loads for the specified games and also uses Minimal mode, so that it only shows the names of who's speaking. The [globals] and [ARMA2OA.EXE] sections I've had for ages and it's been working fine with A2. I just added the [ARMA3.EXE] section and tested it and that's working great now as well.
If you want to adjust the placing/size of the overlay, you can edit the [global] section manually but it's easier to use the plugin settings GUI by selecting the default profile, untick "Disable loading" on the Overlay tab, edit the settings as required on the Display and Colors tabs, then go back and tick "Disable loading" again.
