SWAT 4

PogMoThoin

Installed this and the expansion pack last night, anyone up for a game? I'm lookin for a crew, its the ultimate tactical shooter

Its a little dated but You can hack it to widescreen 1920x1200 or any other res. Its got a mission editor which You can create custom scenarios in seconds. There are lots of mods we could play also. God I miss this game so much.

Me and yitsack have it installed.

I have 7mb and have hosted 5 before without any issues. Dont think the master list is still running so may need hamachi.

Havermeyer

Yup. Have it installed. It's a great game indeed.

To get proper Eax sounds with a Creative soundcard in Win 7:
I had to install Creative Alchemy, then open the Swat4.ini and find the lines about EAX and 3d sound. Set them both to true.

UseEAX=True 
Use3DSound=True 
UseDefaultDriver=True 
CompatibilityMode=False

To force widescreen:
SWAT 4 does not have native widescreen support. To use custom resolutions, navigate to \SWAT 4\Content\System and open the Swat4.ini in a text editor such as NotePad++.

Search for the following lines:

FullscreenViewportX=
FullscreenViewportY=

Modify these lines to suit your resolution.

FullscreenViewportX=1920
FullscreenViewportY=1200

After changing the values, save the file and make it read only. This will prevent the game reverting back to a 4:3 resolution.

As I'm running both Swat 4 and the expansion pack I did the same in that folder as well

dreamers75

No swat4.ini with d2d version

Some mods

http://www.scoobysplace.com/SSFmod.htm

Some downloader that downloads loads of maps.

http://vowsclan.net/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=4

Need to register to use this downlaoder thing

EDIT it works and its kinda cool tbh.

Anyone around morrow get the SSF 3.2 mod.

dreamers75

SSF mod is like an launcher it downloads maps and mod tru that, its on the server with 57 maps.

PogMoThoin

It runs fine on the server, I can join, but I can't get the admin password to work, it just won't let me login as admin to change the mission

BattlingCheese

I believe I have this too. Must check the CD wallet when I get home

dreamers75

BattlingCheese

dreamers75

We completed a level last night 53/100 after "Mad Dog" Pog left the server.

Join our arma server, we need to make a team to compete in a domination TT event for PC Format. All the other teams are like "oscar mike" and "move 50 feet no sound". We are the complete opposite

Had a try at this again this evening and can't get logged in as admin. Server runs fine, just we cant change map without vote or change defaults

No, was trying the gui method, rcon doesn't work either as I cant bring up console. You can try, the pass for now is "boardsie", I even tried an admin login tool, but thats not working either. All info online on this game has disappeared. Default will be fine till we get bored.

I'm in the middle of formatting my Mams laptop, I'll not b on till later

With SFF mod for widescreen You gotta launch once and set the graphics, then quit and edit the same lines as before in the ...\SWAT 4\SSFMod\System\Swat4x.ini

Gonzovision

PogMoThoin

Thanks

Never really like CO-OP in SWAT, do you guys ever play VIP?

Would be interested if you do!

EDIT: An easy way to connect to a game is; In the console: Open <IP ADDRESS OF SERVER & PORT>

The setres command posted in the list of commands is very handy also!

dreamers75

uploaded system folder same ****.

tis poggling tbh

PogMoThoin

Finally, got it sorted this morn. Its a stupid locked down server security thing, We need to run the dedi .exe as admin and the I can login. Works absolutely fine now.
Now I'm late for work

Password is "bang" for anyone wanting to play this later, usual fri drunken mess-about
@Pacifico, I've not tried VIP, will do soon, come along

dreamers75

We got it on Direct2drive go to gamefly.com and login there and the game is in your purchase history.

Pacifico

Anyone still playing this online?! I see the 3rd part stats are still up: https://swat4stats.com/

No sign of SWAT 5 but Ready or Not is being billed as the spiritual successor...!

dreamers75

Its available to buy on GOG if anyone doesnt have at least 4 copies of it.

Unlikely unless you use Dxinput and map controllers.



Not sure why anyone would do that to SWAT4 but im sure its possible.

Robert ninja

If you add it as a non-steam game you should be able to extensively customise the inputs in big picture mode.
