ACRE Mod

The ACRE mod links Arma 3 and Teamspeak3 to create a more immersive environment in which we play in, including positional audio and real radio communications.

Armaholic: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11339

 

You need Teamspeak 3 for this mod.

Adress: idlethumbs.no-ip.biz

Password: (none)

Download: http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads

 

You might also need to forward the TS Ports.

Ports are:

9987 to 9987 on Both UDP and TCP

Don't know how to forward ports in your modem?

This site is very helpfull: http://portforward.com/

 

You also need the Community Base Addon for Arma3

Check below under "Usefull Addons."

 

The Mod won't work without this addon.

 

Installing ACRE isn't hard, it just takes a little time.

I was watching a stream for Arma 3 and saw this.

 

 

It makes me want to get this game.  Also the timing of the music at the end was awesome and a complete coincidence.

I love the one from the SpartanShield mission (the two boats)

Also "sleeping" pilot Lu is pretty hilarious.

I'll try and join you guys next time! Playing the first mission gave me strong Ghost Recon vibes. I think me and Arma will get along nicely.

 

add me on steam if you haven't! (youmeyou)

 

Whens next time?

 

Also yeah, speaking of rigs. I have SLI'd 660tis and can seem to force the game above 30 fps even at medium settings. :( hope it gets cleared up after launch.

We'll play again next weekend. Not sure on the day yet. Maybe both! we will start around 7pm GMT.

 

Looking forward playing with you xD

 

I play with one Saphire 6850HD. I need to put the settings all the way down to get a decent 45-50 frames. But still experience frame drops in big fights and rain.

Soon ill install my second 6850HD, hope I can crank up the settings a bit then.

So as part of buying Arma 3 in it's Alpha phase we recieved 3 invites to "Arma 3 alpha lite". I am assuming "lite" would mean it's lacking in some features, but you should still be able to play with other Idle Thumbs folk.

 

Steam just notified me that I have those invites now. If anyone wants to give Arma 3 a go before buying it for themselves let me know. This way, maybe we can gather a larger group for our weekend excursion.

Alas, no multiplayer in the lite version.

I'm down to shoot mans in the Video games.

Also, a question a suggestion.

1. We should use that sweet ACRE mod when it comes out that adds in cool sounding radios.

2. Does anyone else have problems with mumble where it's WAAAAY too sensitive?

I think most of us usses push to talk. And yea mumble is very sensitive. 
I can hear every detail of toblix breathing. and screaming.

 

whats your steam id Geremy?

 

 

The lite version is basicly a sneak peak in the single player.

So no free arma3 MP guys. 

 

 

Next event: 16-03 7 PM GMT. Check OP for more info.

See that's why I mute my mic 90% of the time. But then occassionally you hear me choke on my crisps.

Because of the house I'm in, and because my mic is apparently already super sensitive, you can not only hear my PC running through the table, but what people are doing on the other side of the house.

I need to get a new mic.
