View source for Mods and ArmA3

For our modpack, our mentality is K.I.S.S: '''Keep It Simple, Stupid.''' Our modpack is designed to be streamlined, functional, but also flexible in our ability to foster various different types of combat scenarios. You wont find an overly large or fragmented mod list here, and we aim to always keep it this way.

At the same time, we use [https://getswifty.net/ Swifty] as our mod delivery platform. Swifty is the only ArmA3 mod delivery platform that uses "delta patching" which allows us to push small updates to the repository without you having to download or scan the entire modset over again.

==Installing the Modpack==

1.) Download and install swifty from [https://getswifty.net/updates/Setup.exe this link].

2.) Once installed, open swifty and click the wrench icon at the top right.

6.) Any time you launch swifty, if there is an update, you will see a download icon over the repository logo. Simply click this to start the download.

Once the download is completely, you can either launch the game or directly connect to our server through the play button.

==ACRE and Teamspeak==
After you have your modpack downloaded and ready to go, go into the directory of the modpack (IE steamapps/common/Arma3/@COALITON) and find the "@ACRE" folder. Within the @ACRE/plugin folder, you will find:
<pre>
acre2_win32.dll
acre2_win64.dll
</pre>

'''These two .dll's need to be installed to your teamspeak directory within the plugins folder before starting teamspeak'''. An example of the directory would be Program Files(x86)/Teamspeak 3 Client/Plugins.

==Connecting to the Server==

To connect to the server, simply launch swifty and click the the "Launch" button on the coalition repository and it will connect you directly to the server.
