Swat 3 Last Resort

There is an issue with the website since we moved to a new server. Basically the server is ignoring our configuration and isn't using the latest version of PHP.

Our host and server guru is possibly unavailable until after Christmas to fix this issue.

Sorry for inconvenience. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Thanks

someone got another link?

With Last Resort? It helps run the game on modern hardware. You can get it here:

Another thing you should get is DgVoodoo. Follow the instructions here: https://www.swat3lastresort.info/index.php/fix-framerate-problems

It emulates old video cards, and the game runs flawlessly with it. Great for many old games.

With those two things, the game runs as well as it did in 1999 if not better.

That is an odd bug. I have never heard of someone having the screen minimize with Swat 3.

I agree though that dgVoodoo is great for old videogames like Swat 3. Windows 10 only emulates 16-bit colour mode and this seems to cause slowdowns.

I need to update that page for dgVoodoo that you linked to above. They have added some new features since I first made that tutorial. Hopefully I can do it this weekend.

Ah, it's the maker of Last Resort himself. I'd like to thank you for all your efforts regarding SWAT 3. It's an amazing game, well worth supporting to this day.

Recently I was reading an article about how Max Payne had a texture upgrade by using "AI" software to help increase the resolution of old textures using an open source process called ESRGAN. We will have to experiment to see if this could be any benefit to some of Swat 3's ancient textures. The problem is that Swat 3's textures may be too low of a resolution to do much with them. It may be a "temporary" solution until better textures can be made. Something to add to the "to do" list.

Yeah, this is all the rage now. It'd be interesting to see this attempted for SWAT 3. I think SWAT 3 textures are good enough quality to produce some decent results. I've seen this tech used on even lower res textures than SWAT 3 to some okay results.

Heya Multihog. Thanks for your kind words. I have been slow with the updates this year and I feel bad about it.

I really want to get the NeuWon update out for The Last Resort mod since it would be nice to see people playing online in Swat 3 again just like the old days of the Won Network.

In terms of the ESRGAN texture thing something like this could reallly help speed up the process of improving Swat 3's textures. I have manually improved a lot of textures but it is such a time consuming thing. Dark Synopsis, a moderator on the website forums, did some tests with this process and some of the results were promising.
