- Penetration levels

- Colt Car 6.8 Remington 10x Scope with UE, JHP, FMJ and AP rounds.
- UE is Ultra Expanding, and will penetrate but not go through the body/head of a suspect.
- AP - Armor Peircing rounds is the most powerful ammo ingame.
- Glock 18 with selectable Single and Full Auto.
- 3D Models & Animations - both the Colt and the new Glock use already ingame models
- We hope to bring you alot more weapon models in the next version of this mod.
- Some weapons has, for the purpose of balancing Team Death Match, been made a little harder to use. This include but not limited to, the SAW, Desert Eagle, AK 47. The changes done have been as minimal as possible.
- AK47 and UZI selectable in All Modes.
- Quicker change between weapons and/or equipment.
- C2 count is now 6.
- Wedge count is now 5.
- Pepperball Gun and Pepperspray dont work on gasmasked individuals anymore. Accuracy and range have been reduced, and the Pepperball Magazine now holds 50 rounds.
- Armor now reflects real life as closely as the game engine allows. Balancing Team Deathmatch has been a high priority.
- Being Stunned lasts 7 seconds for flashbang, LTL Shotgun, Pepperball, Taser, Stinger and Baton Round. Stingray Taser lasts 5 seconds. The AI is stunned for 8 seconds.
- CS gas emission lasts for 12 seconds. Minimum gas period is 6.1 seconds if you can get away from the gas. Max gassed time is 12.2 seconds.

- Auto Switch back to last used weapon after using tactical aids.
- Melee attack range (including Stingray Taser), has been cut in half. From 3+ meters down to 1.5 meters.
- Timer in COOP changed to 15 minutes as default.
Multiplayer
==============
- 32 player TDM server...This function is highly experimental, and is added purely for testing purposes. The default Number is still 16 players. You should test how many your server/internet connection can handle. Some maps might not work with more then 16 players.
- We have spent alot of effort in making realistic weapons for Singleplayer/COOP, and at the same time balancing weapons and armor for Team Deathmatch. It has been give and take, but we think that we've gotten a good result.
- Being Stunned lasts 7 second for flashbang, LTL Shotgun, Pepperball, Taser, Stinger and Baton Round. Stingray Taser lasts 5 seconds.
- CS gas emission lasts for 12 seconds. Minimum gassed period is 6.1 seconds if you can get away from the gas. Max gassed time is 12.2 seconds.
- Pepperball Gun and Pepperspray dont work on gasmasked individuals anymore. Accuracy and range turned down, and the Pepperball Magazine now holds 50 rounds.
- Melee attack range (including Stingray Taser), has been cut in half. From 3+ meters down to 1.5 meters.
- 7 Custom Multiplayer maps comes with the mod.
- Skins: The custom skins that VUGames shipped with the Expansion, have several flaws. The suspects look like Swat officers, and the heavy armor on the Swat Officer skins are the same as the default skin. We have fixed/improved this.
- If Armor IS penetrated, JHP will do most damage. If the Armor is NOT penetrated, FMJ will do most damage.
- Light Armor= Level IIA, Heavy Armor= Level III.
- Level IIA Armor will take: 5 9mm/.40 FMJ while 5.56 and 7.62 will in most cases be one shot one kill. See above
- Level III Armor will take: 5 7.62 FMJ rounds or 6 5.56 FMJ rounds etc. down to 12 9mm FMJ.
- Helmet will protect you against lighter ammo, but not against rifles. Unprotected head shots are always lethal.
- AP=Armor Peircing rounds will kill with 2 body hit to level III armor, or 1 Head shot. Only the 10x scope sniper rifle has AP Rounds.
- The weakest round is the HK MP5 Silenced. It's ammo is Sub Sonic, making it weak.
- Alot of the textures(it's not practical to get every texture due to size) has been modified so they are no longer bullet proof. Cars, doors, pc's, servers and many other textures can be shot through. Bear in mind that all though ex. a car isnt bullet proof any more, the bullet loose alot of its velocity when passing through the car. This means that the bullet dont do mutch damage to the target, and more rounds would be needed to kill/incap the enemy.
Extras
=========
- Opening Movies and notices removed.
- Very quick "SSF Mod" splash screen at start.
- We have choosen to leave a little commercial inside the game. Check the ingame Credits.
- Many more that we might have forgotten! :)
NEW COMMANDS MANUAL
======================
- Deploy can not be set to a button of your choice. Default is P.
- Door Check Command will work """IF""" the door is locked( you will hear a click and see door locked text), if the door is unlocked nothing will happen. The default key for Door Check is CAPS LOCK.
- Door Locked and Unlocked Commands in Response.
I'm happy to hear of your efforts.
As much as I enjoyed SWAT4 and TSS, for me, the AI did not match what was engineered for SWAT3.
I applaud your efforts here, and I hope that whatever's done, that something substantive is done to elevate the AI's capabilities. Good luck to you, and I'm looking forward to your updates.
just might install swat 4 again :D
Just a few words of encouragement. I have purchased a new copy of Swat4 Gold and registered here just to play you and your team's mods. I want the ultimate experience for game play and I love how things get sticky fast if you don't grab control and demand it. Yes sticky is used in the game lol. So far nothing from the 2.1 version has had any issues. I am sure there are allot of others out there right now that feel the same way but have been reluctant to post their words.
I still play this. And its still the awesomeness!
Its keep updateing..... cant play
"Notice
An update is needed and it will applied now"
<Updated>
Again:
"Notice
An update is needed and it will applied now"
<Updated>
and it never ends
I have the same problem.
I have the same problem.
I figured it out. In the /Swat 4/SSFMod/ folder double click on "Launch SSF Mod v3.2.bat" and it should launch. I installed the mod into my main Swat 4 directory.
I'm a commercial software developer who also really enjoy SWAT - but when I click "SWAT - SSF" in the SSF Lanuch application, it closes, waits ~10 seconds, then reopens the launcher. I am in XP compatability mode on Windows 7.
Anyone still around to give a bit of advice? I love this game and would hate to miss out because of one simple software bug. Good karma!

There's some grammar errors and typo errors in the weapons description. I hope you can correct that in the next update.
AYUDA COMO LO INSTALO ESQUE ABRO EL LAUNCHER Y NOSE COMO AYUDA
Here is my opinion on the SSF Realism Mod v3.2. If I compare this to the original. The enemys reaction time is a lot slower, they give up most of the time and they can't aim and the player can withstand many shots. I played through all the missions solo aka COD-style and that was not so fun. The original is better IMO, which offered a challenge. The good thing about this mod is the new maps, new weapons, the aiming, sounds and the SWAT AI that respond faster than the original. This surely would be a really good mod if the enemy AI was more like the original and if the player actually can die. Seriously, and do not call this a realism mod if it's not.

Wow...This is a blast from the past. Haven't touched this project since 2006/07, when I stopped playing Swat 4, and released the source files @ v3.1.
I can't answer to any changes done in v3.2, but The SSF Mod was never made for singler player. Adding a single player story was something I did on request from the community.
Wandering alone COD style was never the intention for the Mod. It was purely made for Coop for use in the SSF community. Other players and communities using TDM, DM & single player is just something the engine supported.
As those still playing this game, you can make all the changes you want. Most of the AI behavior, accuracy, ballistic and armor settings.
As for realism. Back when the mod was made, a standard medium quality level IIIa flack west would stop most pistol rounds, and many of them at that. When adding level III plates in that flack west, that plate alone had a minimum requirement NIJ of 6 rounds 7.62mm Ball. Most Armor at that time could easily with stand 30+ 5.56mm round fired @ 5m with a certain spread, without the back face signature exceeding 44mm.
Later in 2009, a normal high End plate could with stand 63 rounds+ 5.56m fired at 20 and 10 meters, 33 round single at 20m, 30 round burst at 10m, with less then 10mm backface signature.
I'll grant you that there is some criminally bad armor out there, but US Goverment through NIJ hasn't increased the standard minimum requirement, so many bad manufactures can still produce subpar equipment that somehow is being used by Law and Military personnel.
But still I hope you all enjoy this mod. I glad to see it's still in use.

Help i'm having some problems with ssf mod.it says it wants to update but when its finished it quits for some reason
I also have the same problem
"An update is needed and it will be applied now."
Then it pops up for 1 sec and quits.
x2
A new HUGE campaign as well as some improvements and fixes are made in a way which preserve that original feeling of the game and only slightly tweak it.
An awesome mod.
Version 3.2 works perfectly on TSS, install and play, no extra downloads or updates - don't let those people from comments confuse you.
lsnoop, sorry but people not lying about the asking for update issue. Have the same with the default launcher from the start menu. But launching through the exe from SSF3.2 directory works. So probably the launcher from the default shortcut require a MSxml or things like that issue (If someone know what to upgrade could be hlpfull having default shortcut to work) But you're true that by searching a bit it doesn't prevent playing and SSF 3.2 really worse it !!!! Playing Siege but do not retrieve the same GamePlay.... Having a merge betwwen Siege and Swat 4 and I think it will become a Must Have Game !!!!!
It keeps saying an update will be applied and the window closes.
Guys, if you have the window that says apply update, try to use the actual ssf mod exe instead.

fix this problem:an update is needed and it will be applied now please
In case anyone in the future is trying out this mod, and having issues starting it, use the SSF exe from inside the Mod folder.
