Hello! 0.67 is finally released in Stable version and I hope you you'll enjoy it.
Full changelog from 0.66 Stable to this release below.
I would also like to have a breif moment to talk about this release and the future of this mod.
0.67 AND WHY SO MANY BETAS
From 0.66 I've achieved many new features we all wanted:
- Shield
- Medical System
- Quick Reload
- Restrained can be pushed on floor
- SP custom skin support
- Many other little things aren't listed here but I hope you will notice while playing or reading the Changelog.
One thing I really thought it was necessary was an AI overhaul. AI in Swat4 sucks and is good at the same time. It's a really big and awkward monkey that keeps on flippin.
AI in all his aspect has been reviewed , fixed , tested to a point that it might not be smart but at least can do basic things right. Believe me , it's a great achievement.
Many of you will surely found flows in suspects and swat AI behaviors , I do too , but the most important thing was to make a base for further developments.AI adjusting , needed many tests in the wild, and so that's why I released many Betas.
WHAT'S AFTER 0.67?
My life will change in few months. I'll became father this summer so time for me will be a luxury.Following this , after Stable release , I'll restrict even more this very Discord to be just little more than "Need help/bug report" thing until further notice.I really hope you'll understand and catch the opportunity to create a non-mod related Discord that will greatly help the community grow and better organize.
For 0.68 I really want to explore few more things like Battering Rams and Night Vision devices ( IR lasers and VIP lights ) but I don't know what future will bring so don't expect much.
In any case, after those two things, my time on Swat 4 development will come to an end. I have other projects in mind probably around UE and possibly in the VR area or maybe just touching grass... who knows....
