Welcome to the home of the Last Resort mod for Swat 3.
This website is set up to help organize the construction of a mod to upgrade Swat 3 as much as possible considering we don't have the source code to the game. We achieve this by a combination of hacked game executables, replacement textures, and by the use of a custom launcher for Swat 3.
SVGA graphics was the standard for video games when Swat 3 was released back in 1999 but advances in technology have left Swat 3 looking very dated. 16-bit colour and a screen resolution of only 800x600 were normal back when the game first hit the market.
The Core Mod Goals:
Future Wish List:
What, another year has passed? Impossible! The next version of the Last Resort mod still isn't done yet? I can't believe it either!
Happy new year everyone! I worked a little on the mod over the Christmas holiday but didn't get as much done as I would have liked. Specifically I was concentrating on making new textures for Mission B (Getts house). Not all textures are good enough to use AI software to upgrade and need to be rebuilt from scratch. This process is very time consuming because frequently I also need to tweak the mission's .SCN file with Furrycat's brilliant SCN editor.
As previously mentioned in older blog entries I am currently really busy working full time on a Canadian television show. This season we shoot for 10 months of the year (very grueling run) but by mid-February we will finally be wrapped. After a week of recovery I hope to get back to working on the mod.
Random thoughts:
It looks like the NeuWon network is dead for good. The website hasn't been up in a while and the creator of NeuWon doesn't seem to respond to emails. Such a shame since it would have been really nice to have a way to play Swat 3 online like the old days.
I got a notification from the company that I buy the domain name for this website that all .info website domains will have a price increase of over 15% next year. Don't be surprised if I move this website to new domain in the future to save money. Luckily I have already renewed for a year before the price increases.
At some point this year I also must build a new template for the website. I have avoided upgrading the CMS that the website runs on but eventually they will stop releasing security patches for this existing version.
