Republic of Folk

A collection of clientside addons used by FA players.

NOTE: We are currently whitelisting addons on the server. All addons listed here are accepted.

If you're looking for a convenient way to launch ArmA 3 with Addons check out Head's ARMA Launcher.

• Community Base Addons - required for many others
• STHud
• TAO Fold Map
• Digital Compass Display
  (I tweaked v3 a bit, replace the .pbo with this one* if you find the addon to be too unresponsive or want it to react to your compass key instead of 'K')
• MRB Voice Stop - "This addon fully disables the AI radio protocols in ArmA3." (Spotting etc.)
• Head's collection of addons

Non-arma

• CrossTalk - allows you to add distortion and duck channels on TS3
• Mike's TS3 whisper plugin - improves TS3 CC by putting it on one ear and adding (optional) mic clicks

Many thanks for this!

All my mods apart from ST_HUD were out of date..

I suggest adding this mod. It was not available in ArmA 2. This mod allows the player to adjust the force, i.e. distance, that a grenade is thrown. Requires CBA.

Extended Grenades

As in ArmA 2 it's not encouraged to use mods that change the gameplay client-side and would give you an advantage over other players in adversarials (such as instant view distance or ST bunnyhop).

I had a very unexpected problem with the Digital Compass Display mod in last night's A3 session…

Every time I pressed the K key, the "hint" style digital compass appeared and showed the correct bearing; the problem was that the game audio suddenly popped and crackled like a de-tuned AM radio until I hit the K key again.

Arse.. Looks like I DL'd and installed the V2 which has had this issue reported instead of the V3 which doesn't.

I've tweaked the DC addon to be tied to whatever your compass key is and be a bit more responsive, just put it in the corresponding addons folder.

Instead of a toggle it just appears when you bring up the compass and disappears once you depress the compass key.

Works like a charm, cheers!

I get an error message saying the add-ons aren't signed by a key that's accepted by the Folk ARPS server when I try to log on. It works fine on the mission testing server.

Any idea what's going wrong?

The gaming server has a whitelist of addons, namely CBA and ST_hud only. Trying to connect with any other addon should kick you.

Edited the first post to reflect the whitelist.
