Introduction
The process of installing mods through the Steam Workshop is fairly easy and fast to use. The best part of the Steam Workshop is that your mods are automatically updated and therefore require no action after the subscription of the mod pack.A couple things to note:
- Steam Workshop is the only supported method of keeping the mods updated.
- If you use any other method be aware that we may be unable to assist you if you run into issues.
- Only use the link provided below as no other is supported.
Steam Workshop guide
The 29th uses the Steam Workshop to organise mods for our training and events. This allows us to keep our servers and members' mod content congruent while maximising ease of acquisition.
If you already have experience using the Steam Workshop and just want to download. Here is the link:

Installation/Download
Setting up TFAR (Task Force Arrowhead Radio)
When finished downloading all the mods the collection included TFAR requires another step and is a bit more complicated. It requires plugins to be installed to Teamspeak 3. To do this follow the following instructions.
- Navigate to the following folder: Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent107410620019431
- Open the Teamspeak folder and double click the file: task_force_radio.ts3_plugin
- A window will appear asking you to install the plugin to Teamspeak 3. Click install.
- 107410 = the Arma 3 folder
- 620019431 = the Task_Force_Radio folder.
Task Force Radio Not Working
NOTE: To double check if the TFAR plugin is installed and activated correctly. Start Teamspeak 3, click on Tools -> Options -> Addons and check if Task Foce Arma 3 Radio is set to Enabled. If it is not activated or not available, follow the steps in this section to do activate. |
Things to note / guides:
