Website Update January 13, 2019

 

Thanks to our website guru Haystakk we have things back under control.

The new server that we had migrated to didn't like our configuration and suddenly was using an older version of Php.  The website didn't appreciate that.  Haystakk went on a Christmas vacation in the sun and I didn't want to bother him about it until he was settled back at home.

There now is a security certificate so that you can login with a more secure https connection.

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:

  • Make the 2D menus run also in 1024x768, 1440x900, 1280x1024, 1920x1080 (instead of just 800x600)
  • Make Swat 3 run the actual 3D part of the game at any chosen resolution
  • Make the game use textures of a maximum size of 1024x1024 (instead of 256x256 pixels)
  • Make new menu and chat lobby graphics for larger screen resolutions
  • Upgrade low resolution textures in Swat 3 on all maps

Future Wish List:

  • Upgrade low polygon 3D weapon models and character skins
  • 32 bit colour rendering instead of the default 16 bit colour
