Swat 3 Upgrade in progress

[Slippery_Jim]

Grunt, AlienAbducter, and myself have started a mod/total conversion to upgrade Swat 3 as much as we can considering we don't have the source code.

Would love for any mod makers such as Furry or Don to give ideas and/or feedback on the project if they get a chance.


- AA has hacked the game to run the game menus in 1024x768 (a new chat lobby will follow)

- AA has hacked the game so texture sizes are now a maximum of 512x512. (working on new textures, skyboxes).

- We are going to replace all the original weapons and skins with BBE real element & Palermo's weapon mods

- Grunt is working on some new higher polygon skins.


Here is the thread that started it and that contains more detail about the techniques:

You guys should just use this forum.  No sense in grunt setting one up when this is already here with good PR and people.

One dummies opinion.

A new forum would be appropriate.

Don't worry, we won't fill up your forum with silly things like posts.

Hahahahahaa!  Awesome.

I better not ask for permission to allow my tranny support group to post here.

Well, once Grunt sets up a forum we can host a section for your group -Dick.

But seriously, would still like some productive feedback from anyone about the Swat 3 upgrade (other than perhaps "why bother" or "who cares").   If you have 10 minutes to kill please visit the 10-David link above.

What are the plans for suspect and hostage upgrades?   Texture or texture and model ala BBE mod?

In all honesty, I can't imagine allocating any kind of consistent time for something like this but I can't say it isn't totally unappealing.

Every great once and a while furry and I would discuss some novel use of the SWAT3 game and mod mechanics that we could have exploited had it occurred to us at the time.  Though, if I remember right, most did not enhance realism as much create some geewhiz effect  that would have amused me endlessly regardless.

No idea what happened to my old Studio Max/Character Studio discs but I do remember having problems running it on Win2k, so I assume I'd have similar issues with XP.   Yeah yeah, I know, furry's gadgets can probably still translate modern formats to .GSM but I've not looked at any new modeling program in eons.

Why bother? Who cares?

SWAT 3 is and was a fantastic game... I wish they could just make SWAT 3 prettier but otherwise leave it intact. SWAT 4 was a miserable attempt at that... but I miss the fact that in SWAT game you could run and gun or be very slow and careful and deliberate and either way had its merits. I was just playing COD4 today... and realized how much I miss a game where room clearing was methodical, whether it's fast or slow, and you can rely on your team.

Gay.

I don't think that's what he meant by relying on "his team".

[[GhostRider]]

He's just upset because his team is tired of paddling his fat ass across the Caribbean.

FYI, not fat anymore my job doesnt permit me to be out of shape, thus I am back in shape. Probably the best I've been in years.
