Swat4 Server Resource and Information
Updated: 04-22-2005 This document is collected from the Swat 4 official forums and individual Swat 4 Server Admin contributions. It’s meant to be a collection of information, trick and tips to aid admins in setting up and managing their servers. Some of this information is from the Multiplayer Beta, other is extrapolated from Unreal Engine management tricks. Not everything in here has been tested and guaranteed to work. But it is the best that the community has come up with so far. If you find something that isn’t in here please let us know and we’ll be glad to add it. Likewise if you find something that doesn’t work let us know. If it’s verified that it does not it will be removed as invalid information. Thanks, [:FI:]FlimFlam. I. Server Setup Server Ports Many commercial firewalls have an option to place particular computers in the Users running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 may experience a warning from the Dedicated Server Setup Finally on the remote box, launch the dedcated server .exe file to start the dedicated server. To change server setup, I think you can just login from the settings in game and change the server to however you want. If you want to change the gametypes, then you will have to change the settings locally and then upload the files that have changed. Probably the DedicatedServer.ini and the SwatGUIState.ini and the Swat4.ini but there may be more. Just go into Windows Explorer in the install directory under Content\System and sort by date time and look for the modified files. Then upload those to your dedicated server. I have made addittional directories under the toplevel swat directory that contain configs for each gameplay type (VIP, COOP, Barricaded Sus, and Rapid Dep) and if I want to change modes, I just shutdown the dedicated server, copy the configs out of those into the system directory, and restart. Another thing to keep in mind if you want to run multiple servers you need to do a couple of things. Copy or extract all the files into a second SWAT4 directory like "SWAT4 DS2". Next you need set the server ports at least 4 ports apart. For example the dedicated server default port in the Swat4DedicatedServer.ini under the [URL] section from 10480 to 10484 for the second server. Then you should be good to go for the second server. Setting Dedcated Server Admin Password Changing/removing Locked server password Autodownload Activation 8 to 10 man Coop servers (and higher adver player count) Custom Missions Online Changing Server Text Color in Server Browser The downside of this is that ingame when you hit esc to see the scores or mission status, your server name will not show the color but will show the brackets and color code infront of your server name. Like this: "[c=00ff00]{u}Fatality Inc. Coop 1". If that doesn't bother you then run with the colors. II.
