Website for the mod is down right now after a failed update. I am busy planning a big trip to Scotland for next year so haven't had time to fix the site.

Hope to restore the site next week.

I have always suspected that some of the maps were built with a different editor other than Worldcraft. Perhaps proof of this is with Mission V (the autoshop).

If you strip the light maps and then use Swat 3 to rebuild them you get different results compared to the version they released.

I have released version 0.8.7 of the Last Resort mod containing a ton of new textures for Mission S - City Hall. It also contains some lighting fixes for Mission A - Martin Brenner's House.

Noisy recently added amazing features to the SCNeditor that allowed me to further fix Mission A (Martin Brenner's house). In the image you can see the red arrows pointing to strange lighting issues in the map. This will be released in the next version of The Last Resort mod.

Thanks to Blaze who reminded me about the lore behind the City Hall skybox (specifically the power being out in LA).

I have been procrastinating finishing this skybox because of how the game shows different gamma levels depending what floor you view it from. Really difficult to get it right!

I spent the last 4 days working on the Mission S skybox. The original one is very dark and moody but doesn't make much sense since City Hall is in the middle of LA and would be surrounded by lights. The skybox is nearly pitch black.

New version of Last Resort mod is coming soon. I am putting the final touches on v0.8.7 that includes many new and improved textures for mission S (LA City Hall map). Also included is the necessary changes for Nuwon.net to connect online.

Swat 3's multiplayer used to work on Sierra's World Opponent Network (Won.net) but did you know there is a third party replacement for it? Nuwon.net has been around for a few years but was neglected. Recently the owner/creator has found new energy and is working hard to bring it back improved!

I was looking at old game magazines @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social and came across this Swat 3 advertisement from a PC Gamer dated November 1999. Notice that the start part of the California Security Bank (mission C) is different as well as the interior. Early version shown?

There hasn't been any activity on the mod in about 2 months. Mid December an immediate family member passed away so I have been dealing with the fallout from that.

Don't worry though, I have been itching to get back to working on the mod very shortly!

More developer mistakes found in Swat 3's LA City Hall map but will be fixed in next release of Last Resort mod. In the image you will see two missing decals on the walls of an office. These decals were set slightly too far into the wall and never displayed properly until now.

While upgrading the LA City Hall map I found several mistakes by the original developers. An invisible glass hit detection box is misaligned on the doors on the roof. Also a decal was buried too far into to wall and has been hidden for over 25 years.
