Mike:

Welcome to Coalition! Just follow a few easy steps and you'll be able to join our Arma 3 sessions. '''We play twice a week, on Wednesdays at 1900 CST and on Saturdays at 1700 CST (UTC -6).'''

=== Step 1: Download our Modpack ===
Our modpack can be downloaded through the steam workshop utilizing the ArmA3 launcher.

[[Installing_with_Steam_Workshop|Installing the modpack with ArmA3 Launcher]]

=== Step 2: Connect to Teamspeak ===

If you don't have Teamspeak installed already, you can find it [https://www.teamspeak.com/en/downloads/ here]

Once you have Teamspeak installed, you can join us at ''ts3.coalitiongroup.net''

=== Step 3: Test Your Modpack and Server Connection ===

Now that you have the modpack downloaded and are connected to Teamspeak, you can verify that everything is working correctly by launching Arma through Swifty or A3sync, and joining our Training Server.

</pre>

If you are able to successfully join the server without any errors, you are ready to join our sessions!

If you run into any issues joining the server, post a screenshot of the error you are getting in the #tech-support channel in our Discord, and someone will help get you squared away.

''If you are new to ARMA or the mods we use (like ACE medical, or ACRE radios), we can give you a short rundown of the basics before session. All you need to do is ask in discord or TS!''

=== Step 4: Join a Wednesday or Saturday Session ===

Now that you have your modpack squared away, you're ready to join a session. 45 minutes prior to session, you should see a message in Discord letting everyone know 'Prejoin is Live!' This is a special prejoin map we run prior to session to let everyone have one final chance to make sure their mods are loaded, and practice on different weapon systems and get ready for session.

First join Teamspeak and move to the '''''Waiting to JIP / Slotting ''''' channel
[[File:JIP.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The slotting channel can be found here, at the bottom of teamspeak!]]

Once you are in the JIP channel, launch Arma 3 and connect to the Session Server on the main menu.

'''Once the actual session begins, you are only allowed to slot as one of these roles:'''

* Assistant Automatic Rifleman
* Grenadier
* Rifleman Anti-tank
* Vehicle Driver

'''Administration will call slotting roles in the order of rank:'''
<pre>
Leaders and Medics - Only these roles are available to slot by those who are allowed to slot them
Specialists and NCOs - This is when Specialist and above to slot in any role
Recruits and Public Players - This is for recruits/public players to slot in their allowed roles <<-- You slot here.
Soldier - This is when all Soldiers will slot in any role
Grunts - This is when all Grunts will slot in their allowed roles
Everybody else - This is the "last call" for slotting before mission start
</pre>

''For more info about these roles, as well as an infantry overview, check out this [[New Infantry Guide|Guide]]''

=== Admin Message ===

If you need help with keybinds, controls, or nuances with our modpack/settings, feel free to ask any Coalition member for help during Safe Start. For everything else, whether during Safe Start or mid mission, please use our Admin Message feature.

Press the ESC key and navigate to the top left of your screen. Type a brief, but detailed message, in the box and click "MSG ADMINS" to send it. An admin will either fix the issue momentarily, and/or send you a reply. All replies can be seen in the bottom left of your screen (in the same area in-game chat shows up). If your problem is not fixed and you do not receive a reply, please send another message.

Please use the Admin Message feature for teleports, if you spawn in without gear or incorrect gear, if you get ARMA'd, for reporting toxicity, and for any other technical help.

Mike:

==== Welcome! ====

You are now a trial member of the coalition, a draftee of sorts, hopefully enticed by our values and even more so by our Community. But now that you've been accepted we need some basic information.
<br/>
Navigate to [http://coalitiongroup.net/forums/ The Coalition Forums], for which you should have access (if not, contact a staff member), and post a new thread in the [http://coalitiongroup.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=4 Dossier section]. Your dossier is the place to keep all of your information. This includes updates about yourself on anything you may deem necessary or important.

Be sure to also provide '''at least''' a paragraph about yourself, gaming ventures, etc.... This can be anything you deem appropriate or that you want others to know about yourself.

[http://coalitiongroup.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4 Click here] for the dossier template.

Here's what we're looking for:
- Your first and last name
- ArmA3 Player ID:
- See below for this process
- Steam Profile URL:
- Should not be private, we may need to message you
- Join Date
- Your Availability:
- Eg 50% = "expected to attend 4 out of 8 sessions a month"
- Finally, a real-world photo of yourself.
- All user avatars on the forums are real-world pictures. This is an enforced policy.

=== Finding your A3 Player ID ===
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hv7aTPZlvc

== Extended Absences ==
Your dossier is the place to post all known absences if you plan on being away from the group, sessions, and/or activities for awhile. If anything private comes up and you don't want it to be on your dossier, you can always alert a staff member through forum or discord PM.

== Name Consistency ==
As you register and use our communication mediums (Forums, Discord, Teamspeak), ensure every username is the same. As an example, don't be JohnDoe on the forums and J.Doe223 in-game or on discord.

- All user avatars on the forums are real-world pictures. This is an enforced policy.

=== Finding your A3 Player ID ===

== Extended Absences ==
Your dossier the a place to post all known absences if you plan on being away from the group sessions and activities for awhile. If anything private comes up and you don't want it to be on your dossier, you can always alert a staff member through forum or discord PM.

== Name Consistency ==
As you register and use our communication mediums (Forums, Discord, Teamspeak), ensure every username is the same. As an example, don't be JohnDoe on the forums and J.Doe223 in-game or on discord.

XML/Roster

2017-03-20T03:14:24Z

Mike:

== XMLs ==
The XML is a physical roster of full-fledged members (Soldier and above). It places the tag "[COALITION]" next to everyone's name in-game when on the XML roster. Players in the recruit phase aren't given access to XML.

=== Getting on the XML ===
To apply to the XML, post in [http://coalitiongroup.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15 this thread]. Use this template:

<pre>
<member id="ID NUMBER GOES HERE" nick="YOUR NAME">
<name>YOUR NAME AGAIN</name>
<email></email>
<icq></icq>
<remark>YOUR QUOTE GOES HERE</remark>
</member>
</pre>

Once you've posted in the thread, add this url to your "Squad URL" box in your squad profile in-game.
<pre>
http://www.coalitiongroup.net/xml/squad.xml
</pre>

*Your ARMA ID can be found in the Profile section at ARMA's main screen. Once your profile is selected click on the UNIT tab. In this tab your "PLAYER ID" is displayed. Copy that and you now have your "member ID."

*You already have your "nick" (this is your profile name)

*And this is also where you will paste the link to our SQUAD XML, which is: http://www.coalitiongroup.net/xml/squad.xml

*After you have all three of these things, please plug them into the format shown above. See the example for help.

*ICQ and EMAIL are not required and not actually useful to input

''' An example XML: '''
<pre>
<member id="7263345243246" nick="HipHopopotamus">
<name>HipHopopotamus</name>
<email></email>
<icq></icq>
<remark>My lyrics are bottomless.</remark>
</member>
</pre>

Once you have posted in the thread requesting an XML and have done so correctly, your XML will be added to the Squad XML and then will be properly displayed whenever you enter a server in ARMA.

Structure

Mike:

The Coalition uses a very basic, but purposeful ranking and grouping structure. Ranks only determine veterancy within the community, but groups determine your ability to take specified roles in ArmA as well as what privileges you receive within the community.

== Rank Structure ==

== Group Structure ==
Coalition also uses a three-group system in order to keep the community organized. Each group serves a purpose both inside and out of the community.
=== Recruits ===
Simply put, the recruit group is the entry group into the community. Every recruit's job is to take part in the community, learn how to be proficient while in-game, and ultimately, play ArmA. Every recruit also undergoes a Peer-Review process by all major members of The Company. Recruits can be peer-reviewed out of the community due to lack of activity, inability to learn how to play ArmA proficiently, and not interacting with the community as a whole. Recruits are limited to AAR, RAT, Driver, and Ammo Bearer roles in order to learn how our structure and chain of command works. Recruits also do not have access to XMLs until becoming apart of the company.

=== Company ===
The company is the backbone of the community. All members of the company are considered full members of Coalition and are granted access to XMLs, Mission Developing and Design, the CMF, and various private discord channels. Company members are also charged with the future of the community through peer-review as well as taking leadership roles during ArmA sessions. All company members are expected to understand and follow the Coalition SOPs both in-game and out.

=== Headquarters ===
The brain of the community and ArmA sessions. Each headquarters member has a specific role they play in the administration and/or technical side of the group. All headquarters members, regardless of rank, are considered staff members.
