I downloaded the game and expansion from the Share Thread. Haven't yet installed the Syndicate, though. What else do I do? Is this a custom map pack? Do I need the texture pack for some reason? Do I ned the mod and mod patch? How do I use Gameranger?
Josiah Ramirez
no you don't need the texture pack we're running with the mod should probably get the map pack though it might take a while gameranger you just make an account and browse the rooms and it allows connections through LAN since gamespy is dead so the server browser doesn't work anymore. you have to set up in its options for syndicate to point to the mod though (see OP).
Christian Turner
Sounds good.
Justin Jones
Anyone know how to get this thing to play in windowed? I've read a bunch of forums posts and can't seem to get any of the solutions working.
I've set parameters for the shortcut, alt+enter, editted the .ini etc. It's getting a bit silly.
I did, but the ini kept resetting itself to what it used to be for some reason. I'll try editting it and then setting it to read only.

I actually fucking hate Windows.
I am trying to move a fucking EXE file to install the expansion, and every time I replace it, it tells me my permissions aren't high enough. I elevate them, even though on an Admin account, and it just turns them right fucking off again, and makes the folder read-only.
This kind of shit doesn't happen on a fucking Mac or Linux fork. You set something and it stays that way, and it assumes the user isn't a complete retard and needs to enforce fucking protocols to prevent me from editing my own fucking files.

Gabriel Cox
What are you trying to install?
If you give me a little bit, I can quickly mash together an OP guide that details everything to do, in order to get the thing running, ready for serber tomorrow.
Alternatively, if an user that has it installed could upload their SWAT 4 folder, that would be equally good. My upload is crap, so would take stupid long.
Isaac Flores
I've actually updated the Gameranger adblock some time ago, but forgot about it, here's the latest version: pastebin.com/ZzvS7E3s
Now, use something like Daemon Tools to mount the .ISO file of TSS. Use the AutoRun.exe on that .ISO image. From there, hit "Apply Patch" up the top, go through the prompts until you're updated. Now, use the "Install Expansion" (Or something to that effect) option, follow the prompts and wait until it's done. If it asks for a key to authorise the installation, there should be a "readme.txt" or "installation instruction.txt" that has a list of keys that work. Doesn't matter which you use, they don't expire or whatever.
Right, you've got S.W.A.T. 4 and TSS installed. If you tried to open it, you'd notice it's borked and won't run, telling you to insert the disc. Download this: megagames.com/fixes/swat-4-1 And put that .exe file into /program files (x86)/S.W.A.T. 4/Content/System/ Now you should be able to run S.W.A.T. 4. TSS will not run, but don't worry about that right now.
Get the mod, install it using the .exe. Open up the 3.1 update, go to /program files (x86)/S.W.A.T. 4/SSFModv3.1/ Drag the patch files into this folder and merge everything. Now you've got S.W.A.T. 4 installed, TSS installed and SSFmod 3.1 installed. Life's pretty good now.
Remember those maps? Go to the MegaMapPack and use the "install_files.exe". It 'should' find your directory for S.W.A.T. 4, but if it doesn't, type it yourself. Default install path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\S.W.A.T. 4" Now press "y' and hit enter. It shall now start installing most of the maps. Get the second, smaller map pack I told you to get, and open it up. There should be 5 or 6 compressed files. Uncompress all of them. You'll be left with three folders: "content", "contentexpansion" and "readmes". Delete readmes unless you liking reading them. Merge "content" and "contentexpansion" with the folders sharing those names in your S.W.A.T. 4 directory. There will be a folder included with the SSFmod download that has a file called "SWAT4X.exe". Place this inside /SSFmodv3.1/System/. Finally, you have every map installed and are up to date.
Adrian Gonzalez
Except you're not. Almost there, I promise. Go to the folder that came with the SSF Mod called "alternate AIs", or something to that extent. Grab the files called "AI (sas).ini" and "SwatAICommon (sas).u" Drag those to the SSFModv3.1 folder, and place them in /SSFmodv3.1/System/. Now rename them so they DO NOT have (sas) in them. They will ask to replace files with the same name, hit yes to both.
Final Step, here we go. This one's pretty damn easy. Download and install GameRanger from here: gameranger.com/ It's an alternative to GameSpy, which is defunct. Once installed, make a free account, verify the email (10minutemail is fine) and log in. Above the list of games, which will be filled with games that aren't S.W.A.T. 4 so we don't like, will be a drop down menu. Select "My Games" from this list. Now suddenly, we only see S.W.A.T. 4, S.W.A.T. 4 The Stetchkob Syndicate and any other games you have that GameRanger can run servers for. Find the server for S.W.A.T. 4 TSS (We don't use S.W.A.T. 4 vanilla servers, as there's not as many maps/content) that was posted in the thread. Usually with have "v", "vee", "Holla Forums" or "[long-string-of-naughty-words]". Join it, shitpost with other anons in the chatbox for 20 seconds. Go to the File > Options in the toolbar, and select the pathway for S.W.A.T. 4 TSS to be the SWAT4X.exe you placed in SFFMODV3.1. NOT THE ONE IN CONTENTEXPANSION. Hit "Join" in the bottom right corner. Game launches.
On the Main Menu, hit Join Server, set mode to LAN in the bottom-right, hit "update" and boom, server appears. Join it. To change your name from player, go to the Options menu. It's under "Game Options".
Now you are 100% complete, and it seems a bit too long, but it's worth it to help clean up the streets of Los Angeles, or wherever the game is set.
There are a few other things you can do to make the game a bit nicer, like remove the 10 second dispatch intros, which can cause freezing, or remove GameRanger ads.
To remove dispatch, go to the folder included with SSFmod that is named something to do with dispatch or voiceovers, I don't know it's name exactly. There will be a bunch of VO files in it. Drag and drop into S.W.A.T. 4 directory, replace the files already there, and now you've got a silent dispatch that doesn't freeze you. (It's not guaranteed to freeze, it's case by case.)
To remove GameRangers ads, go to C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/ Open up hosts with something like Notepad. Go to the bottom, make a new line and copy paste the IP addresses from this PasteBin: pastebin.com/ZzvS7E3s Save, make sure the file has NO extension, and now you have no ads.
This is probably wrong at some point, but it's everything I recall doing myself, so if an user could follow this guide and tell me if/when/where it fails, I can edit this quickly.
Asher Reyes
you don't need the rghost map pack update link if you get it from the moddb
daemontools contains chinese spyware
Jackson Jones
you also actually need a tss crack
Cooper Reyes
Chinese Spyware? My favourite. Should probably find a new tool, then.
The SWAT4X.exe crack you place in SSFmodv3.1 is the same thing, so you can put that into both ContentExpansion and SSDModv3.1.

I dl'ed the repack and followed this guide to get it all installed. I'm pretty sure it's all up and running. My main problem was the exe I moved to the SFF system folder wouldn't work. In addition to the SWAT4.exe there is a text file called command.txt and a batch file that also need to be moved into the same folder as the exe. That fixed it for me. I'll be lurking in this thread Sunday and hopefully get to protect and serve the shit out of some criminal scum with you faggots.
David Martinez
I don't remember having to move textfiles when I was installing, so didn't chuck them in my guide. Might have something to do with the download. An user said the files in OP were password protected, but I got them from the Share Thread and they had no password, so there may be a difference in the files/crack somehow.
Americans haven't had Sunday yet, fully, so there's still another day. Weekly events would be nice, though I'd imagine the maps would get stale after playing them two or three times each.

Levi Stewart
The map pack will have a file called "install_files.exe". Run that and it will install the maps. You cannot install the maps if you don't have both the base game and expansion installed.
When you say you don't have the SWAT4.exe, do you mean you don't have it at all or don't have a cracked one?
Jose Hall
I mean I had to move the mod one in to the game file but haven't tried running it yet, also this map pack doesn't have the install-files.exe.

If there's no install_files.exe, what you need to do is open up every single .zip, .rar whatever compression, and drag and drop the files into /S.W.A.T. 4/Content/Maps OR /S.W.A.T. 4/ContentExpansion/Maps. Just merge the folders.

If you host anymore today I'd be willing to try again.

anyway thought some other people would try hosting with only vanilla but didn't seem so unfortunately
any instructions were supposed to be: install game install expansion install cracks for both (should have been in the download but I installed game a while back and think that it doesn't include a TSS crack) install mod overwrite mod stuff with patch stuff install map pack (if you installed the one from mega you need the update later on in the thread) in gameranger options switch the swat4x exe to the one in the mod folder
that tinyupload thing is only for if you get bug installing accepting the eula reverting texture pack is just vanilla textures which don't even matter alternate ai files were for testing was why they weren't mentioned in installation

Alright maggots, I've suffered through getting the Mega repack from the OP up and running so here's a tutorial to make the process as simple and painless as possible.
YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE FOLLOWING The Swat 4 repack (in the OP); passwords for the 2 archives are the folder names "SWAT-4_1.1-and-expansion" and "SWAT-4-Sources-Installer+Mods" without quotes, the map pack update (Mega Map pack is included in the repack), the SSF mod, the SSF 3.1a update, and Gameranger.
STEP 1: INSTALL THE FUCKING GAME WITH THE INSTALLER YOU WORMS Shit's easy and painless. No need to worry about fixes or cracks. It just works right out of the box. You should be able to boot up both the vanilla game and TSS at this point.
STEP 2: REVERT THE TEXTURES In the mod folder there is another folder called Texture Backup. Merge the folders contained within with your root Swat 4 install.
STEP 3: EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE SSF MOD The base SSF mod has an installer. Point it to your Swat 4 install and let it do its work. The 3.1a update must be installed manually. Merge the folder SSFModv3.1 with the folder of the same name in your root install. Then take the contents of the NoRadioDispatch folder and merge it with your root as well. Don't bother with the AI files. Overwrite files as needed during this step.
STEP 4: EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE MAP PACKS The Mega Map Pack (provided in the repack mod folder) has a command prompt installer. If you installed Swat 4 into a normal file path(like C/Sierra/Swat 4 or Program Files x86/Sierra/Swat 4), it will automatically locate it. If you installed it somewhere weird, then you have to spell out the filepath in the terminal. When I ran the installer, it said that all the maps were already installed. DO IT ANYWAYS JUST TO BE SURE. The map pack update must be installed manually. Merge the Content and Content Expansion folders to your root install, overwriting files as it asks.
STEP 5: GAMERANGER Install Gameranger and make an account. Go into the Options menu and scroll down to Swat 4 TSS. Set the launch .exe to Swat4X.exe located in the SSFModv3.1 folder. When you join a room make sure you DON'T have an instance of the game already running. When the host starts the game up it will boot on your end as well. If for any reason you leave the game and want to join back in, or if you join a room where the game has already started, you click on the Join Game button in the bottom right hand corner of the lobby menu. When the game boots up you select the Join Multiplayer option and look for the server list under LAN. Connect to the server and enjoy.
This should be the correct procedure to getting the game up and running in as simple a set of instructions as I can provide. If you didn't get the Mega repack of Swat 4 and want to follow this tutorial, then know that you WILL have to install cracks yourself for the base game + the expansion, however you WON'T have to worry about reverting textures. Also depending on where you got the Mega Map Pack from your installation of that will be different. You might have to install the whole thing manually (which would be a simple matter of copying files to the root folder), and it might already come with the map updates installed. It would all depend on where you got it from. Happy protecting and serving. Now I wrote all this up before I could get online and check the thread and I'm happy to hear that is updating the Mega link. Hopefully some of these steps will be simplified or removed. But at the moment, this is the proper way to get the game working.
Christopher Brooks
The archives are ready to upload, once I get the login details. The new version is an extract and play, if I have managed to set it up right. Same password scheme for both new archives. Once they are both uploaded I'l remove the older ones unless there is no space left, in that case they will go first.

I'l join once the archive's have uploaded. New link, I seemed to have currently missplaced the text file with the radcorp mega and everything else, along with the GameRanger login. Oh well, soon it will be time to respond with ever so slightly less than lethal force. mega.nz/#F!zYUSBQQZ!qjPlImJQV8zKG4WG4ebUXA

Not today sir

Hosting a server. TRAILERS TRAILERS-2016
Jack Reyes
I am going to have to completely reinstall and setup the repack, what fun as I know that I messed up installing the SSF mod (I thought that the system folder was meant overwrite the base games files). Hopefully it will still be connectable.
Kevin Lee
It is not sadly, can some one else host while I reinstall?
Benjamin Hughes
I can host, but are there any anons about to play apart from you?
Jaxson Butler
I two join over the short life of the room.
John Campbell
*had two
Sebastian Parker
Now that I have reinstalled, hopefully I have set it up right this time. TRAILERS TRAILERS-2016 3 rounds per map and 3 minutes between rounds.
Robert Torres
SWAT 3 best girl. I hope you all get v&.
Hudson Ward
Do you guys like rainbow six webms. no im not talking about rainbow "csgo" six
Jackson Edwards
Seeing as they are very similar, hell yes.
Adam Powell
Is that a mod for RS3?
Bentley Gray
Yes, Raven Shield 2.0 + Malleus' AI Mod overwriting 2.0's AI. RS 2.0 adds iron sights and better textures and player/enemy models. Malleus makes the AI of both sides drastically different on levels depending on the situation. (For example on the first mission the AI for the enemies is reduced because they're mediocre terrorists.) The link to mallius is in the description and 2.0 is a google search away.
Eli Reed
Forgot to mention you have to edit a few files for 2.0, otherwise you have a really shitty gas mask hud for the entire game.
Be warned on the 2nd mean processing mission the AI will do jack shit and will let the unarmed druggies detonate the bombs.
Caleb Fisher
Why?
Blake Collins
Because its ubisoft, they forced their hand on the modders because 'muh copyright'
Elijah Watson
I love how they pull that shit but do fuck all with the property. Not that I'd want them to presently.
Parker Smith
Although a lackluster and seemingly rushed project, Siege does have some very talented people behind it and genuinely seems like people put their heart in the project. Sound design and destruction are notable examples. It's still kinda shit though
Joseph Ramirez
If you want people to play with you don't have autism When you get your shit working, .7z or .tar.lzma it and make a torrent/mega
Cooper Long
Using the one from the share thread gave me a new error, however I know the cause. So cross fingers it will "just work". My cynical side suggests that it is unlikely becauses software, specifically networking and wifi are a bitch.

Carson Roberts
After doing a reinstall and just adding the mod and patch, making shure to copy into the right place I still get " * WARNING - PATHS MAY NOT BE VALID *" In the log file. I may as well give up and see what happens not everyone is ready up in time. Same details as before.
William Lewis
Bump. Any breekis want to get cheeki and bring order to the chaos?
Luke Richardson
I kept the tab open and it finished today.
Brandon Ross
DOWNLOAD J DOWNLOADER 2 YOU FUCKING COCK SUCKER. Then copy the url and download via j
Matthew Jones
I'm not into wahtever this thread is bnut i can confirm Jdownloader doesn't work with mega anymore, you always get the "bandwidth quota exceeded" message even after IP resets
Cameron Cook
I downloaded stuff today and yesterday but it never said that
Nathan Murphy
wong
Mason Harris
change that name ye twat
William Ortiz
Windows 8 and up can mount .iso files Otherwise stick to MagicISO
Brody Morris
is anyone still playing swat 3?
Christian Gutierrez
I have setup a CO-OP room, Name:you-are-in-the-way Pass:SWAT-2016 Also having the dedicated server not working (at least for me) isn't a problem as the regular setup should work as needed.
Personally I would suggest WinCDEmu as it is barebones and libre.
It is for a older room, that said I agree. Why draw a massive glowing target on your back?
Sometimes.

Landon Ortiz
I`l rehost in about 10-20 minutes.
Ethan Lopez
Hopefully some nerd puts it in the next OP if there is any. To save anons from the autism of installing this i installed it myself, compressed the thing and uploaded it to MEGA. You'll still have to install gameranger yourself since it involves creating/using an account. I also capped user's guide for future reference Download link: mega.nz/#!0NcUVaRK!Y6cQkzu1yIjPhTlGTRR96gP_JvQHaNPvkno-efstpsY
Carson Foster
Also do any server settings need changing? e.g, is number of rounds/time between round/Mission Ready time too high? Also hopefully I can increase the player cap to match the room`s.
Parker Nguyen
ty user
Dylan Sanchez
I`l take the easy route and change the room to the server`s max.
Liam Torres
Yeah, i stripped the mod readme folder (36~MB) and the modding sdk (nearly 3MB) and compressed the whole thing with lzma2 and a 1024MB dictionary Here's 7zip showing some info
Angel Barnes
You didn't need the additional files archive as it contains just the source files. If you wanted to just play, the named archive had you covered.
Nathaniel Sanchez
What is like having >45 GiB of RAM and what do you use it for?
Ethan Butler
He darts around threads compressing our games for us.
Joseph Bell
Whoops One thing i forgot to do and user's guide doesn't show, get the TSS crack and put it in the game. I'll use that as an excuse to strip more useless files and also the intro cutscenes then i'll reupload the game and post again
What's the matter user? a0ab has been hosting for ages.
Landon Nguyen
Should we make a new thread for tomorrow or keep this one?
Nicholas Lopez
The rules say we have to wait till 700 or pg15, but fuck that, we need the new MEGA links in the OP, and we're almost at bump limit anyways. Mods aren't complete cunts.
Michael Fisher
user did you try hosting or joining to make sure it worked?
Landon James
I'l test it tomorrow when I can. Hopefully I can also reduce it even further.
Andrew Green
you're not me you fat twat
I tried the base game but not the DLC or the mod, now it just works
Charles Gutierrez
Can't OP delete his own thread when someone makes a new one?
Dominic Thompson
"So fucking what" is wrong with a little friendly competition? Also I tried last night and it managed to regress in file size. Just a FYI, there is a massive difference between starting up and being able to host/connect. Does the dedicated server work now?
Charles Roberts
for a second i thought you were trying to pretend you were me pls no bully
James Perez
I reported it to the janitors because I'd cleared my cookies since last week but they wouldn't do anything about it so looks like SWAT is going to die because I can't make a new thread with updated info.
700 post / page 13 limit is kind of shit since the board has slowed down since last year.
Ethan Green
I can't just delete the thread like that. I could either update the OP with the new info if you give it to me or, if really necessary, make an exception and lock this old thread when the new one is made. That's a one time thing though.
Andrew Kelly
If anyone wants to make the next thread whenever this one is about to die, here is the updated pasta: ghostbin.com/paste/z23zr
Christian Carter
Eh, we'll see what other anons want.
Charles Miller
Okay. I can update the OP with any time if people want that.
Brody Lewis
SIR, YES SIR!
Dylan Young
Since you bumped might as well try to get to 300 for now, anyone willing to host?
Asher Reed
I and the user's that I team up are in the process of very slowly creating in list of decent and horrible maps from the map pack, further assistance would be greatly appeaciated. so far Cabin Fever Renovate TSS Sealmap renovate TSS
Well it would be impossible to do so as there is clearly visible and totally different ID's. If this was on >>Holla Forums as I would see you point, in that case I would hopefully make it clear that I am a different user.Not need to appolgise.
Yes, I am hosting with (in the default method rather that the dedicated server mode) to see if it will work. Same details as
Nathaniel Gutierrez
That map maker needs to be purged. We died from either the base jumping start, the trucks that drive diagonally and crush you or the enemies hidden behind the draw distance fog of 2m. It was funny, though.
Dylan Taylor
THE NEW MEGA REPACK USES THE MODIFIED AI FILES FROM THE 3.1A FOLDER FOLLOW ON HOW TO CHANGE YOUR AI FILES IF YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH PEOPLE USING THE NEW REPACK

Grayson Nelson
I will be hosting for another thirty minutes.
David Wilson
Can someone just fucking uniform everything into one fucking working install and .zip it. It would save everyone a lot of trouble and more people would be able to join.
