Thank you for your report!
And sorry for the late reply.

Please try "SWAT4 Snitch Mod Pack v166 r95 for TSS" just uploaded.

If you like the stats tracking by Swat4stats.com, you can use U and INT files in "SnitchMod with AMMod and with Julia" folder.

You must modify your settings in "Swat4XDedicatedServer.ini", and check "SwatGUIState.ini" for this.(See below)

Hi boti,
Thank you for your detailed report.

Like you know, Snitch was working on FP Non-Lethal Hell server. So, the latest build of Snitch should work as well.

However, I had to change/fix some parts of the mod for/since the public release of Snitch, and that may make some difference/bugs in the parts of handling the mod for the Non-Lethal servers.

You can test your server with v166r58 or the later version/revision.
I have applied some corrections to v166r57 after reading your post.

With v166r58, tell Snitch that your server is running with the non-lethal rule.
To do so, add "gbSMSysNoUseOfLethalWeapons" under [SnitchMod.Snitch] section of Swat4DedicatedServer.ini/Swat4XDedicatedServer.ini, and set it "True"

I hope this helps.

Hello boti,
Snitch Mod Pack v166r56 would be available soon.

Thank you for your interest in this mod.
You can use this mod for your game servers, and you don't need to pay for that.

Hi boti,
It's the right place. Sorry for my late reply.

It's free for you to run on your game servers.

Hi! You can change the difficulty of the game by INI in the new build. Please check v166r12 or later. Default setting is "Low". With "Low" setting, AIs behave similarly to the original where you can pull them easily. Still, the game is challenging especially for solo gamers. I hope you have fun!

Hi daimyo21!
>In the next release build can you release an example config containing all the [SNITCH] configuration settings in INI form meant for the dedicatedserver.ini?

Yes, I will upload the info so give me some time:)

Hey daimyo21!

>I understand you can run multiple game modes but I don't understand where you even set that up.

In case that you set up for original Swat 4

1. Open "Swat4DedicatedServer.ini" in "\SWAT 4\Content\System" after making a backup copy of the INI.

2. Find "[SnitchMod.Snitch]", the label. If you can't find the label add "[SnitchMod.Snitch]".

3. If you disable Smash And Grab Coop, edit/Add the lines like below.

[SnitchMod.Snitch]
gbSMSysGameModeSmashAndGrabCoop=False

4. If you disable Team Campaign Coop as well, edit/add the lines like below.

[SnitchMod.Snitch]
gbSMSysGameModeSmashAndGrabCoop=False
gbSMSysGameModeCampaignCoop=False

5. If you disable the Hell as well, edit/Add the line like below.

[SnitchMod.Snitch]
gbSMSysGameModeSmashAndGrabCoop=False
gbSMSysGameModeCampaignCoop=False
gbSMSysAllHell=False
gbSMSysHell=False

>Also when I'm in the server by myself and I die, I get retries and can revive.. Where do you set these up?

A. If Smash And Grab Coop game mode is active, the game revives you when Swat teams have retry chances for you.

B. If Smash And Grab Coop game mode is disabled, and Team Campaign Coop is active, the game revives you 2 times as default.

To edit this number, if you edit for original Swat 4,

1. Open "Swat4DedicatedServer.ini" and Find "[SnitchMod.SMPlayerManager]", the label. If you can't find the label, add it.

2. Find "SMC_AUTO_RESTART_CHANCES_FOR_TEAMCAMPAIGN". If you can't find it, you need to add it.

3. If you set the retry chances to 4, the lines should be like below:

[SnitchMod.SMPlayerManager]
SMC_AUTO_RESTART_CHANCES_FOR_TEAMCAMPAIGN=4

C. If Smash And Grab Coop game mode is disabled, Team Campaign Coop is disabled, the Hell is active, and you are alone in the server, the game revives you 2 times as default.

If you change the number for original Swat 4,

1. Open "Swat4DedicatedServer.ini" and Find "[SnitchMod.Snitch]", the label. If you can't find the label, add it.

2. Find "SMC_AUTO_REVIVE_CHANCES". If you can't find it, you need to add it.

3. If you set the retry chances to 0, the lines should be like below:

[SnitchMod.Snitch]
SMC_AUTO_REVIVE_CHANCES=0

>I also found that when another player joins and then one of us dies, instead of respawning, we fail mission..

This is a bug! It will be fixed in the next build.

Note: To avoid unexpected error, please edit the text in the INI by Typing, without using Copy and Paste. Or use Copy and Paste after normalize the text.

I hope this helps you!

Hi!

Example for "5 SNITCH Name and Clan Tag",

In case that you edit for original Swat 4

1. Open your "Swat4DedicatedServer.ini" in "\SWAT 4\Content\System\" after making a backup copy of it.

2. Find the label named "[SnitchMod.SMBroadcast]". If you can't find it, add "[SnitchMod.SMBroadcast]".

3. Find "SMC_SNITCH_NAME" below "[SnitchMod.SMBroadcast]". If you can't find "SMC_SNITCH_NAME", you need to add it.

In case your Snitch name is "MySnitch" , the part should be like this after the edit,

[SnitchMod.SMBroadcast]
SMC_SNITCH_NAME=MySnitch

4. FInd "SMC_SNITCH_MESSAGE_HEADER" below "[SnitchMod.SMBroadcast]". If you can't find "SMC_SNITCH_MESSAGE_HEADER", you need to add it.

In case your Snitch message header is "[b]MySNITCH (ABC)[\\b]:", the part should be like this after the edit,

[SnitchMod.SMBroadcast]
SMC_SNITCH_NAME=MySnitch
SMC_SNITCH_MESSAGE_HEADER=[b]MySNITCH (ABC)[\\b]:

5. Find the label named "[SnitchMod.SMPlayerManager]". If you can't find it, add "[SnitchMod.SMPlayerManager]".

6. FInd "SMC_CLAN_TAG" below "[SnitchMod.SMPlayerManager]". If you can't find "SMC_CLAN_TAG", you need to add it.

In case your Clan tag is "MyClan", the part should be like this after the edit,

[SnitchMod.SMBroadcast]
SMC_SNITCH_NAME=MySnitch
SMC_SNITCH_MESSAGE_HEADER=[b]MySNITCH (ABC)[\\b]:

[SnitchMod.SMPlayerManager]
SMC_CLAN_TAG=MyClan

7. Overwrite your "Swat4DedicatedServer.ini" and close it.

Note: To avoid the problom which comes from the encoding difference for the edit, please add those texts by Typing, without using Copy and Paste.

Yes. But I've disabled some of the network related classes, and I've modified the last build which was running on Frosty's Playhouse servers some years ago, for this public release. There are pros and cons for this modify. Some of the known bugs at that time have been fixed and I've made some of the unfinished features to work but I've created new bugs while modifying.

Hi! In the video, they are playing the Hell. About the mod that you can download from here, it's (almost) the full mod, so all custom game modes included.
