This is a rework of the original helper script armaonlinux by @ninelore.

This script helps you run TeamSpeak 3 alongside ArmA 3 on Linux using Proton, allowing voice communication during gameplay.

The core concept behind this script is to install teamspeak 3 under the same arma 3 proton prefix.

• Steam (native package, not Flatpak)
• Protontricks (not Flatpak version)
• ArmA 3 installed via Steam
• TeamSpeak 3 installer (.exe file)

git clone https://github.com/giovanni-grieco/armaonlinux
cd armaonlinux
chmod +x Arma3Helper.sh

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/giovanni-grieco/armaonlinux/refs/heads/master/Arma3Helper.sh
chmod +x Arma3Helper.sh

1. Go to Arma3Helper.sh
2. Click the "Download raw file" button (top right)
3. Make it executable: chmod +x Arma3Helper.sh

1. Install and launch ArmA 3 through Steam at least once

2. Download TeamSpeak 3 installer from the official website

3. Install TeamSpeak using the helper script:

   ./Arma3Helper.sh install path/to/TeamSpeak3-Client-win64-installer.exe

   ⚠️ Important: During installation, choose "Install for all users" and keep the default installation path!

4. Launch TeamSpeak for ArmA 3:

   ./Arma3Helper.sh

   Or use the application shortcut created in your applications menu.

You should have a shortcut in your applications called 'Teamspeak 3 (ArmA3)'.

If the gui shortcut is not present you can always launch teamspeak 3

./Arma3Helper.sh

⚠️ Note: It's better to start ArmA 3 first, then launch TeamSpeak!

• Debug information: ./Arma3Helper.sh debug
• Wine configuration: ./Arma3Helper.sh winecfg
• Update script: ./Arma3Helper.sh update

• Ensure ArmA 3 is launched before starting TeamSpeak
• Make sure both Steam and Protontricks are native packages (not Flatpak)
• Check that TeamSpeak was installed "for all users" in the default location
• Use ./Arma3Helper.sh debug to view configuration and paths
• If using custom installation or steam library location, make sure to edit the Arma3Helper.sh script with a text editor to change the relative paths 'COMPAT_DATA_PATH', 'STEAM_LIBRARY_PATH'
