Setup Guide

Welcome,

Before we begin, Firstly congratulations on taking the 1st step towards the Zulu-Alpha Milsim Experience, let’s begin…
We use Discord as our primary means of communication, Click here, to join our Discord and introduce yourself.

 

In the meantime, below is a step-by-step guide 

Install Arma 3:

  • Download, install and set up an account for Steam (if you already haven’t).
  • Purchase, download and install Arma 3 (with APEX DLC when selection is passed).

Install TeamSpeak 3:

  • Download and install TS3 (either 32-bit or 64-bit).
  • To join our TS3 server, connect to the following TS3 server:
    • srv1.zulu-alpha.co.za
    • roundpatty

Steam Mod-line mods:

The links below will take you to our mod-line mods. A mod-line mod is a mod which serves no other purpose than to have other mods as dependencies. This serves the purpose of making it easy to add a collection of mods with one click, but also keep that collection up to date automatically, unlike steam collections.

To use these, sign into your Steam account and click the “Subscribe” button. You will automatically be subscribed to all the required mods, which will download, install and be managed by Steam.

Optional mods can be found here:

When you start the game using the standard Arma 3 launcher, be sure to select all the mods that belong to your selected collection. These mods can also be saved into a preset for ease of use.
