LEVEL-13 v0.5b, RELEASED
v0.5b was released a long time ago, but some problems with my SWAT4 and graphics drivers halted the development indefinitely. PLEASE NOTE that this site will probably shift to my main website and you are advised to visit that site directly for LEVEL-13 updates since that site will be updated at the same time whenever there is any news.
Also, I am working on updating LEVEL-13 as an Unofficial SWAT4 Patch by integrating some really useful mods out there along with even more changes in the level design of the official maps, few changes with weapons and armors and few really good user maps addition (not just any, few that are actually good).
SWAT4 players will now be able to get a complete package which doesn't change the gameplay drastically making it either ultra real or completely unreal but at the same time improves the gameplay of the official maps themselves. If any mappers think their MP maps (any mode) are actually fun, send them my way and I will include them as well.
SCREENSHOTS:
*Version 0.5b (Change Log)
- All official maps updated & added to LEVEL-13.
- Many changes in official maps. The most imbalanced maps have been fixed and the changes will be more than visible to everyday player. These changes have been done keeping in mind the VIP-Escort mode, but they don't affect other modes.
- NEW unofficial map 'Desert Ops - Village' by N.S.B.
- Now lock-picking take a little more time (8 seconds) making it more realistic
- Now VIP (VIP Escort) carries '2 Stingers' instead of 'CS Gas Grenade' and 'Wedge'
- Updated the weapons configurations making them behave more realistically in common use
- Modified the damage update for all grenades, updated their damage to different armor types, effect radius & lasting time
- All weapons now have extra clip counts. This change makes more sense cause in real life, I doubt it that SWATS go in with only 3 clips and when out of ammo, ask
someone to shoot them so they can re-spawn with a new loaded weapon. Also to be noted is the extra clip count increase has been done keeping in mind the balance issues, so it never goes above 5 clips max. For example, previously AK47 had 3 Clips, now it has 4. Similarly, Breaching Shotgun has 4 clips, now it has 5.
- Updated LEVEL-13 logo in-game and in installer
- Now you can run Dedicated Server for LEVEL-13 straight from the LEVEL-13 folder.
- Updated the installer with better interface and icons
- Updated Readme files with detailed information
- Credits updated in-game
- Many other minor changes
