[CiA] Switching to ACRE2: Instructions

[Variable]

Comrades and guests, starting from Thursday, the 28th, we will be switching from TFAR to ACRE 2, an advanced and more robust communications mod. Please make sure to install ACRE 2 before Thursday's coop by following the instructions below. If you encounter any difficulties, contact us here or in our Discord server and we will assist you.

Installation Instructions

1. Download the ACRE2 addon from Github (the Zip version)
   
2. Extract the @acre2 folder to your Arma 3 folder.
   
3. Remove @TFAR and Add @ACRE2 to your startup parameters or activate it in your prefered launcher like A3Sync.
   
4. Launch Arma with the mod, ACRE will now automatically copy the necessary plugin to your Teamspeak installation. You should be greeted by the following prompt, click ok:
   

Teamspeak Settings

1. In TeamSpeak go to Tools > Options > Addons (side tab) > Plugins (upper tab) > and make sure ACRE2 plugin is enabled and TFAR plugin is disabled. You might have to select "Reload" first in the ACRE2 plugin to be able to enable it.
   
2. Uncheck the box in Teamspeak that says "Delay releasing push-to-talk" (Options > Capture > Advanced Options)
   

In-game control settings (Controls > Addons > ACRE2):

1. Unmap the "Default Radio Key" mapping.
   
2. Map your short-range radio key to "Alt Radio 1 Key", your long range to "ALT Radio 2 key"
   
3. Map your "Volume" key to something that you usually use for TFAR voice mode.
   
4. Delete all the other mappings
   

Arma3Sync users be advised: By using Arma3Sync, Arma will always run as admin. This means you will also have to run TeamSpeak as admin to avoid issues with ACRE.
