===== Teamspeak and ACRE =====

We use the Teamspeak VOIP software for in-game communication and the mod/plugin ACRE allows for realistic voice and radio behavior.

The version of ACRE we were using is a dev build and is only compatible with the latest version of TS.

Note: a Push-To-Talk key is required for Teamspeak; voice activation is not allowed.

==== Step 1 ====

You will be using the latest version of the Teamspeak VOIP software. This can be acquired on the [[http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads|downloads]] page on the Teamspeak site.

Navigate to your Teamspeak directory and check to make sure ''Teamspeak.exe'' will start as admin.
//Note: This is required and ACRE will not work properly without this step!//

==== Step 2 ====
When you launch Arma, ACRE will detect if ACRE installed and if so, which version number. It will update the version accordingly and give you a prompt to hit okay.

==== Step 3 ====
Open Teamspeak, select **Tools -> Options** and then switch to the Addons tab..

You should see ACRE in the plugins section and it should be set to enabled.

==== Step 4 ====
In Teamspeak, select Settings -> Options, then go to the Capture tab.

Select Push-To-Talk and bind your key of choice. If you have spare mouse buttons, such as a Mouse4/5 or Forward/Back buttons, we strongly recommend one of these for Push-To-Talk.

Note: a Push-To-Talk key is required for Teamspeak; voice activation is not allowed.

==== Step 5 ====
Our Teamspeak server address is ''clearbackblast.com''.

When connected to any server, make sure TS reports the ACRE2 version number.
