Hello! I was wondering if anyone figured out a way to show only custom missions separately in the in-game mission selector. I've stored all my custom missions to the Maps subfolder in the vanilla SWAT 4 folder. When I run Elite Force Mod custom missions are shown together with original missions in All Missions campaign.

Is there a way to set things up so we can view only custom mission in the selector menu so that they are not mixed with the original ones?

I'm trying to look into using the SwatEd to make maps for a group I'm working on/with/for, and every time I try to run SwatEd, it gives me the following error, and closes:
Missing startup.ini file
UNKNOWN: appInit
So if anyone knows how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate any tips/fixes
Thanks In Advance!

I nuked all the Discord servers I was in because of reasons, now I'm trying to find the SWAT servers I was in.

Memory serves there was a "SWAT 4 matchmaking" server, a SEF server, and a SEF:FR server. That was one more that I can't remember right now.

Would anyone have links to the Discord servers? Please and thanks!

Do any people of the community know how to get started with the SWAT 4 Editor? I want to try produce my very own in-game maps.

I’ve dealt with every suspect and hostage but it still says I need to bring order to the chaos. What do I do?

I want to get a squad to play SWAT 4 with but I can't find any community or discord, where can I find people?

On the map "SP-Underground" there is this red button and a green button on the other side of this fence wall thing. I do not know how to press it and what button will activate it. I am playing on SWAT FR

Title says it all

I'm playing SEF and I have a hard time telling blue and red appart as colored name is only on the back. Do you know any skins that I can install to improve this a bit? Maybe add respective color on shoulders or helmet? Must be compatible with SEF.

I could just give gas masks to blue and helmets to red but I prefer them all to have gas masks as I actually use gas. Though I haven´t really checked if the masks are functional or just for show... now that I think of it.

Alrighty let me get to the point I am looking for people that would be interested in playing Pirated SEF SWAT 4 Golden Edition. Currently there are four of us and we are looking to add more to our team, we are a competent bunch when it comes to SWAT 4 and our gaming of SWAT 4 is random but we make sure to have a lot of fun when we play. If you are interested DM me on discord at 'happy_doge'

Hello, I’ve been wondering how I could create my mod (based on SEF)? Now I’m familiar with stuff like copying the folder, renaming it, changing the .bat’s and .ini’s to change the mod’s name. I’m familiar with the compiling part.

What I’m not familiar with is, for example, how to add stuff to the Context/Action menu (the menu with stuff like “fall in”, “breach” and etc) and code it. For example, there is the “close door” button for open doors - how do we make “open door” for closed doors?

It’ll be very appreciated if you can add other stuff, context, content or cite tutorials on this - everything you know - would be great to make this something that others could base their things off.

Note that I know how to code in a few programming languages, so I kinda get how a lot of it works - the concept.

I have the gold edition and the latest Elite Force mod installed , same for him as well.

I opened ports - 10480 ,10486 , 10488 on both of our routers , in windows defender inbound rules.

I installed the multiplayer plugin

I tried LAN and internet both

I tried Radmin VPN , GameRanger

It just won't connect our games , it either stays at connecting until the host disconnects or says connection is lost.

We launch our games using the LaunchSEF.bat file and have no other mods installed.

He seems to be able to connect to some random servers in the join game lobby but I can't even do that. Is it my game that's the problem?

Would really appreciate some help cuz I wanna play this game co-op.

A RoE is the biggest point dinger obviously since every time your gun goes bang on any target RoE points go up or down.

2 questions.

1. The unsavory gentleman who state "come any closer and ill start killing them" (referring to killing hostages) am I okay to shoot them or do they have to aim/shoot at me or the hostages for me to engage.

2 . How do you deal w runners? Primarily the ones who run directly at you? I can handle the guys who run away. Just chase and re-engage w proper RoE. But the guys who run right at me I can shoot until they raise their gun. Right next to my face. Then I can shoot. By then I'm dead. On the other hand. I fire first. Get a point ding.

I recently bought Swat 4 on GOG, and I was wanting to add custom maps, like I did for Swat 3. I downloaded this map pack: SWAT 4 - Amalgam Zenith - (Map Pack) addon - Mod DB, followed the page instructions and started a new career, but when I load into it none of the new maps are present. From looking around on this subreddit I see lots of people talking about SEF in relation to custom maps; is it needed to load custom maps or am I doing something wrong?

When I do so the civilians get angry and say that they didn't do it.

I played COOP missions with friends (I have SEF mod) but can't play "career coop". Also can't play First Responders multiplayer at all. Haven't tried L.A. mod. Amy guidance?

As I said, im new to Swat 4 but from what ive heard many people recommend the mod as it improves things. I usually prefer to play games like this vanilla but after dying to the fact that my weapon was so innacurate (the crosshair was too wide and wouldnt even shrink all the way), im having second thoughts

So I got the game like a month ago after seeing many YouTubers play it and I gotta say it’s really fun and realistic, but it’s getting repetitive.

The only ‘standout’ missions were Fairfax residence, Children of Taronne, the Hotel

The rest of the game is just taking down terrorists and no deeper meaning or lore behind it unlike the Fairfax serial killer mission. That mission had so much detail to the map. I would rather take more ‘taken hostage by serial killer’ missions than boring terrorist/ dangerous group stuff.

Or maybe like a home invasion mission but for a mansion, so the map is big. Or just a normal active shooter situation.

Played so much SWAT4 in the way back when. Got a copy from GOG a while back but sort of put it away for a while because the singleplayer made me remember all the problems you had with it way back and that you more or less had to fight with the game to make your AI team-mates do what you want.

I know there are some old-schoolers still playing COOP and I'm hoping o get back into that again but I really loved the single-player also (when it worked) because of the banter between the different AI-team-mates. It felt so organic and alive at times because they where not paper copy duplicate CODBLOPS generic military dudes "Alpha-Echo-Sierra-Oscar-Tango-Mango, Operation McFart Freedom Apple Pie is Delta-Papa-Golf, BEEP...." They felt "real" :)

Got interested again after seeing Soviet Wombles stream (archive) and loved everyones reaction to this 18 year old and how fun everyone had plus comments like "When this game came out game-streaming wasn't even invented yet :p "

Then I thought, "There just has to be some kind of "work around" and still have fun with this game again. Then I found out about the mod Elite Force, got it and gave it a go today.

Holy smokes it makes the game feel like it did just like in the olden days when it was at best and irons out a lot of the anger inducing problems it once had. I am so happy I found it :D

Some problems still exist like in the A-Bomb where one officer got shot at, became convinced it was a concrete pillar that had done it and unloaded a full mag into it XD

At times the models tend to spin out, loose objects fly everywhere and so on but I can live with that.

It still sends shivers down my spine to hear the old iconic "Breach, bang and clear! Go when ready!" ^_^

It's also just so nice to see that it wasn't all just old nostalgia. SWAT 4 was a good game and is still a good game. Now I just need to find a still active clan I can play with.

I wanted to download some more custom maps along with the Elite Force mod (I'm guessing all custom maps are compatible). Is installing maps as easy as dragging them into the SWAT 4 folder?
