[RELEASE]Swat4 Modified Inis v4.x

[Junfan]

Dear SWAT4 Gamers,


I got bad and good news for you. But with which one to start with...
First the bad one: After some serious multiplayer testing we discovered that the so-called Perfect Aim is only a client-side effect; that is to say, you aint shooting perfectly in reality - only you see as if it was the case.

It does not matter whether you edit all the aimerrors, or just enable debug aiming - the result is and remains the same: Perfect aiming cannot be achieved by just modifying the inis.
Only the recoilmagnitude factor does works.
So the good news is: Congratulations to everyone that killed ppl over ppl; you are in reality a very good player. :D

(new changes/additions first)

Genuine bullets (c) *NEW*
- After some serious multiplayer testing, we discovered that Perfect Aiming cant be achieved by only modifying the Inis. The effects will always remain client-side, that is to say, that you aint shooting perfect in reality on the server

- Bullet traces show you the correct bullet path now
- Integrated no-recoil (being the only modifiable factor regarding aiming)

Empowered flashlights *NEW*
- Flashlights shine MUCH brighter
- Client-side effect: The other won't notice the powered-up flashlights shining

Modified weapons *REVISED*
- No recoil
- Instant Zoom
- Flashlights for every weapon

Distant playernames *NEW*
- The distance limit for showing playernames has been removed

Handcuffing from everywhere
- Cuff from anywhere within no time (hold the action key for cuffing, for you wont see a progress bar or animation...)
- Instant Handcuffing

Opening doors from everywhere
- Open doors from where ever you want and when you want, no matter how far or close you are

Using tools from everywhere
- Use ur tools from every position
- Instant equip/unequip of tools

Instant Tools
- It takes no second to deploy C2, Wedge; or using Optiwand, etc... (hold down the action key, for you wont see any progress bar or animations for e.g. deploying C2 anymore...)

New weapons
- Unlocked both the Ak47 (ROCKZ!), and the UZI (ALSO ROCKZ!)
- Other who also have unlocked those weapons will actually see that you are using them

Instant Pawn Animations
- Instant Lean

Known bugs:


Perfect aiming does not work *SOLVED*
- Only client-side effect, if only the ini's have been modified
- Though no-recoil does work
-> REMOVED -> see Genuine Bullets (c) feature

Emptying magazines over magazines to no avail, with no effect *SOLVED*
- When you fast-reloaded, and then afterwards shot immediately, you wudnt hit.
-> Only the reload animation itself has been accelerated, but not the progress, the time needed for reloading
-> Cant be modified ini-wise -> REMOVED

Modified ammo *SOLVED*
- Does not have any positive effect
- You cant reload, and only shoot as many rounds as the weapon support with its usual ammo type regardless what you are seeing on your screen
-> Client-side effect -> REMOVED

The VIP flys toward me when cuffing or freeing him from the distance with the modified Inis!
- Relax! Doesnt it just look great?!

The VIP can use all its weaponry though he is being cuffed!
- This depicts a real SWAT4 Beta bug.
- Being caused by "inappropriated" cuffing
- HOW TO DO IT: Start cuffing the VIP, halt it, immediately start again and finish the cuffing process -> Now the VIP will have access to his weapon, Pepper Spray, and so on -> The funny thing is that you wont see him shooting, for he holds the gun, etc in his cuffed hands that are on his back (really funny to watch)

The VIP cant move, is somehow stuck, and cant be freed!
- HOW TO DO IT: 2 ppl start cuffing the VIP at the same time, and finish the cuffing
- Works best with modified Inis (feature "Cuff from everywhere")

EDIT: Uploaded wrong SWATequipment.ini. Fixed that (v4.01). :mad: It's always the same, you always want to release it as quick as possible, thats why mistakes happen. :mad:

[surfrider1]

Thank you. Although the recoil in this game sucks unbelievably. I think I play better w/ it off even though I can't realy tell where its going.

[alta]

thankx !

[RocknSocks]

sucks

[wunsch]

JUNFAN WTF u have done with that damn ****in ini files?
always if i try to join server the game closes.
it reallysucks

[alta]

same happening to me to :(

[wunsch]

i think thats a very bad joke junfan bc i cant believe that this is a mistake for that u did to much with them till now.

[Junfan]

Uploaded a fixed version of the SWATequipment.ini (->v.4.01). I mistakenly uploaded a highly unmodified one with enabled recoil (*puke*), which was only for test purposes.

Junfan

[wunsch]

ok and sry if i wasnt polite but i got very angry bc it really needs long till the game is open again.
gx
k now i tried but now where all the things r away u can forget this inis for what should we use inis which only give us bugs and not more?
to bad that it doesnt help but such useless things nobody want to have bc thats also no cheat or something like this.
but ok thx for the try cya.

It seems that u did not read my post thorougly. It is just not possible to have Perfect Aim, if you only modify the Inis. We still got all the other things which allow you to cheat pretty well.
If you want Perfect Aiming, then go for the .U's. But its too early to do that, for the full-version hasnt been released yet; and I'm definetely not wasting my time on this demo.
I just removed all the things that did not work, and added new ones. It is useless to have client-side "perfect" aiming, but if u do NOT aim perfectly in reality on the server.
But you can still download my ini v3, which got fake aiming in it :P :P

Junfan

[wunsch]

ok now is the question do it really helps u to use any tools from anywhere (ok to free vip its good) but cuffing isnt really possible bc he is running and then u cant cuff him (if u get him cuffeed then u pretty sure got the bug) and this instant thing isnt really working bc to free him i still need 4 sec. for cuffing him also and wedging also needs 2-3 sec so its faster but not so much.
one good point are 2 new weapons but they wont help more than others if u dont have perfect aiming bc so hard how they going away from aimpoint is not nice.
k shooting through glass is nice and opening door from everywhere is also nice.
the name things is useless.
so sorry i see that u can "cheat" but a real cheat should really help u veray much to be the best bzw. the winner but this modifications help u only if u r also good in the game and then u also dont need them anymore.
gx


PS: sry my post isnt meant bad but i cant see the real use now is that game really boring for me.
1 question are the u files in the full version others than in the demo? bc i think in the full are the same u files only a bit bigger probably but u could start working on the ufiles indemo if i said the correct thing bc then u only have to copy the modified parts later in the u files of the full.
(only such a idea)
:-)

[RyST]

say when i beanbag the vip, i take out the handcufs and i pull him towards me, but when hes right next to me the cuffing doesnt work, i cant hadcuf him

[BaDToY]

you have to change the offsets in the .u files manualy so even if you write down every offset you moddify when the full version comes out it wont work cause the offsets will be differetn. unless for some reason they leave the .u's the way they are but i doubt it. and im sure that they are going to encrypt them too.

P.S. i need to talk to surf and see if he wants me to release the .u's that he modded somewhat than i added more right now i just have no flash no stinger no peperspray effects no pepperball effects and so on. im working on the aim and recoil. SURF please just reply to this with a yes or a no about releasing them. THX.

[surfrider1]

Yeah we should release them. People just need to be aware that you don't have the visual effect but still slows you down and you sway around. Also evil flashbangs seem to still effect you. It will take a little more work to remove recoil and aimadjust so I think it would be better to wait for the full release.

It looks like removeing recoil and aimadjust might have to change a little more than just. True to False and If to Then. :) Some goto's need to be changed I think. I think they tried to make it hard for us. It is hard to know also if they stuck some of this server side. Just trial and error.

Just drop the file in your:
D:\Program Files\VUGames\SWAT 4 Multiplayer Demo\Content\System
folder. Overwrite the original.
http://www.zeronew.com/files/SwatGame.zip

[RocknSocks]

how did you edit the dot u's and compile them? and one more q. whats this .u change anywayS?

[BaDToY]

OK surf i found anouther part of the .u that needs to be edited to remove flashes. heres the updated version. I found the aim error and recoild its going to take a couple more days till i can get them right.


P.S. If you would like to learn about hexing the .u files just check out the Americas Army section in the subforum code section there is a tut on editing them. you will need hex editor and utpt 2.0 beta 5. both can be googled and gotten for free/trial.

[surfrider1]

Cool thanks. Nice work. I will try to pm you again soon. You are usually on when I am sleeping though so I'll see later today.

[Junfan]

Nice work, Badboy and Surfrider. Now its easily possible to shoot while being stunned. Or as VIP to shoot or do whatever you like during stun or when you have been cuffed.

Junfan

[RocknSocks]

i went into some research of server files, and it is SERVER SIDE with aim and other things, like kits, if your using an uzi, ak, or whatever, its not really an uzi, maybe the statistics on your side only mostly everything is server side, i was in a server last night with it modded and the VIP had a gas mask and a pepper ball gun, lol twas funny, so that kinda ruins the fun of hacking it..... =\ i think :)

[wunsch]

lol i was iin the same game its called like a website anything like www.gamersatwar.com #1 server or so.
but i still think thaat the uzi and ak noot severside bc they are working and listening on an other way then the normal guns.
but the ingram i cant get in that****in game do anybody know why not?
thx
gx


PS: i hope the aim thing is soon finished im really waiting for it badtoy and jund and who else is coding on them. :-)

[Junfan]

Keep cuffing, keep holding down the action key, dont matter where you cuff from. You wont see any animations, or progress bars, when cuffing. So push and hold the action key and you will do it, if the person is being stunned.

[RyST]

2 questions
-some people as a name are using a really small square box, its not in the name editor, and i cant find it if i google looking for its alt code. Also people can underline thier names now in game. how do you underline? and whats that small box?
-people can also spam chat really fast using real long sentences, it goes all the way accross your screen you cant see anything in front of you... i was coping and pasting but it wasnt no ware as fast as that one person.
can you do some command or something? in the user ini? so that when you hit like F5 it say what ever you want? iwas trying like F5= say | "whatever" but i couldnt figure it out

[RocknSocks]

open the console with the tilde key ~ and type "say your message here" without the qoutes, keep the console open, his UP and enter really fast, easy as pie.

[Junfan]

You can also bind it to a key very easily; but I hate it when ppl spam the chat, so that I am not able to play/ cheat anymore... Thats why I wont explain it here. But its really that simple...

[RyST]

things you type in the console dont go to the chat when you press enter

and does anyone know what that little square box is im talking about?

[RocknSocks]

ya, get the name editor, from somewhere in these forums, use the search button, open it, click the "non working" and theres like 3-4 squares in there, use one of those, know 1 of them worx. just not which one.

[Junfan]

Just noticed while browsing the official SWAT forum, that someone made a noobish cheat video.
http://koti.mbnet.fi/meitzi/Stuff/Swat4echeat.wmv

Well, we all know... this only touches the top of the ice mountain...

Junfan

P.S. If someone is interested; DEVload, DEVsave, DEVbsp, DEVassert, DEVkill, and so on are being suppressed in the ucc.ini...

Junfan-

When SWAT4 comes out, I'll be more than happy to help in hacking. I'm a rather experienced bytehacker/.ubot writer from Americas Army. Basically the same engine. How hard could it be? :P

And @ video - That wasn't anything special, although it does demonstrate the vast amount of shit that can be customized via the inis. Biggest problem I see is bypassing any cvar/MD5 checks that they'll definitely be doing to the inis when the full version comes out.

i dont think theres going to be any cvar or md5 checking on the full version, they have no
plans to use punkbuster or any anti cheat from what i have read

An interview with Chris Kline, Developer of SWAT 4 at Vivendi Universal on the upcoming SWAT4 and its cheat-protection
Taken from http://www.teamwarfare.com/forums/showthread.asp?forumid=117&threadid=201622.


Can the developers in general terms give us their view on cheating in SWAT 4?

Chris Kline: Cheating is for sissies. Seriously though, it's impossible to prevent cheating completely -- every game out on the market has cheaters, and no matter how often you patch, cheaters will find a way around it eventually. Despite that, we've tried to design the game in such a way as to make it harder to cheat.


Can you tell us what anti-cheating components (in general) will be in the production release that are not in the beta?

Chris Kline: The Vengeance Engine and SWAT 4 in particular attempt to prevent cheating in a number of ways:

System Design.
The server is always the authority on gameplay-relevant events. For example, a client might hack his version of the game to give himself perfect accuracy or infinite ammo or double-damage ammo. However, when he shoots the bullet trajectories, ammo availability checks, and damage will all be calculated using the server's settings, so his hacks will have no effect on the game. This design philosophy extends to all systems in the game (e.g. scoring, player movement, destructible objects, etc.)

Binary content validation.
All textures, sound, code (native and script), etc are checksummed, and when a client connects to a server he will not be allowed to connect if his code or content differs from the versions that the server is using.
INI file validation.

To facilitate easy modding, a huge amount of game configuration data is present in text-editable INI files. We have implemented a validation system for INI files that is similar to the one used for binary content; if a player tries to connect to a server and their INI files do not match, then that player will not be allowed to connect. (Note: INI file validation was not implemented in time to make it into the MP Demo, unfortunately).

Kicking and Kickbanning of specific players.
Server admins will be able to kick players out of a game temporarily using the console command "kick PlayerName". They can also permanently block players from a particular IP address by typing "kickban PLAYERNAME". When someone is kickbanned, their IP address goes into a banned IP list in Swat4.in (or Swat4DedicatedServer.ini), in the [Engine.AccessControl] section. You can un-ban someone by removing their IP from the list in that section of the file.


Are there plans for an anti-cheat program such, as PunkBuster, after the initial release of the game. Note: There is a rumor that many people are talking about that PunkBuster is being added to Tribes Vengeance.

Chris Kline: There are currently no plans to incorporate any third-party anti-cheating technology into SWAT 4. Any plans to do so would have to be initiated by VUG.


What can the community expect from the game or the developers in the way of updates to keep the game cheat free?

Chris Kline: The decision to patch is always a publisher decision. That being said, Irrational Games and VUG both want to have a great game with minimal cheating. If problems arise after the game is on the shelves, we'll have to sit down together to examine the severity of the problem and determine how to address it

Looks like a green light to smoke some opfor, then. I had read that they weren't going to use PB, but no dev limitations is another thing altogether.

Well, I'm in then. Just have to get my copy. :P

edit - I only read the bold parts. Checksums + validations won't be hard to get past.

[TheUnf0gIven]

thx for this i will test it with the swat 4 full game
