• Added an admin system to the game, featuring customizable roles and an MOTD system. For more information, check out the "Admin System" section of "HOW TO PLAY IN MULTIPLAYER."
• A new mechanic has been added: Empathy Modifiers. Whenever you stun a target with a less-lethal piece of equipment (taser, pepper spray, beanbags, stinger grenades, punching, ... but not CS gas, flashbangs or pepperball gun), there is a chance that nearby civilians will feel the same morale modification. This will make it much less tedious to pepper spray all civilians in a room on maps like Mt. Threshold Research Center or A-Bomb Nightclub, where there are many uncompliant civilians.

• Fixed some Sovereign Citizen lines not playing correctly
• Fixed Magazine count display on equipment panels only showing 2 digits (so pepperball only displayed as "20" instead of "200")

• Fixed a bug where using the "say" command in the dedicated server or MarkMods WebAdmin panel would crash the server
• Fixed a bug where deleting a campaign wouldn't wipe its stats or permadeath status, so creating another one of the same name would result in bugs
• Fixed a bug where the M4A1 Suppressed in third person had a glowing silencer
• Fixed the HK33 having a wrong model in third person
• Fixed the MP5SSD6 having fingers covering the iron sights
• Fixed a bug where creating a QMM with no civilians lead to a maximum score of 90/100 due to a bug in the way All Civilians Unharmed score was calculated

TSS Bugs Fixed:

• Spoken lines by TOC on TSS missions are not longer cut off if the player used the shout button
• Fixed some incorrect subtitles
• Fixed a bug where using the Bulgarian Drug Worker as a suspect in QMM would cause sound bugs

v6.0

Major Feature Overview:

  • By hitting the zoom key, you will transition into (fully 3D) Iron Sights! While in Iron Sights, you suffer less recoil and firing your weapon affects your accuracy less.

  • Enemies have figured out how to equip heavy armor! Your AP rounds will be very important.

• Added missing speech commands from v5 (for specifying breaching method)
• Minor optimizations regarding the optiwand
• Snipers now report when they've lost sight of entry team on all maps, not just Qwik Fuel (they only do this once)
• Another possible fix for the RotateAroundActor crash

• Flashlights have a smaller cone but longer range [kf]
• On the highest Shadow Quality setting, more things (such as AI-controlled officers, guns, etc) will cast shadows [kf]

• Chat messages now display the room name of where they were spoken from (except when spectating or in pregame)
• In the Classic Command Interface (CCI), a lot more commands will return you to the main screen, including PICK LOCK and MAKE ENTRY commands.
• In the Classic Command Interface (CCI), issuing a command will immediately return you to the main screen (if it does this to begin with) instead of waiting for Lead to finish talking.
• Cut content restored: Blood spray texture that was not used [kf]
• Fixed SEF bug: Sniper rifle not firing in multiplayer
• Fixed SEF bug: Sniper rifle viewport not controllable on listen servers
• Fixed SEF bug: Breaking a door with the breaching shotgun (in a dedicated server/multiplayer) would sometimes not disable the antiportal
• Fixed SEF bug: Officers were reporting that they lost their contact way too often [kf]
• Fixed SEF bug: Missions not sorted alphabetically sometimes in an All Missions campaign

SWAT: Elite Force v5.1

CHANGES

• Some additional improvements to speech commands (thanks to kevinfoley for these changes):
  • You can now report things to TOC using your voice!
  • Improved the speech commands with CS gas
  • A new SpeechCommands.md file has been provided which lists all the things you can say to trigger voice commands.
• Adjusted the weapon accuracies (see Weapon Changes for more information)
• Reduced the drag of beanbag ammo by 25% so it can hit more distant targets
• AI will now wait before entering a room after a gas grenade goes off. The amount of time depends on what equipment your officers have equipped. (thanks to kevinfoley for this change)
• Halved the melee range (170 -> 85)
• Reduced the damage done by torso shots against all targets
• Increased the damage done by 9mm AP and .223 ammunition
• Suspects have a chance to drop their weapon immediately upon surrendering, making it less likely to shoot them accidentally
• Added a "grace period" to compliance. If a suspect becomes compliant and you accidentally shoot them within a moment of their surrender, no penalty is ensued.
• Restored cut dialogue: Officers will report when they've lost sight of a suspect.
• Fixed SEF bug: Investigating enemies were considered threats (for the purposes of penalties and officer AI)
• Fixed SEF bug: Fleeing suspects who were attacking were not considered threats (for the purposes of penalties and officer AI)
• Fixed SEF bug: Rare glitch where SWAT AI could shoot hostages intentionally
• Fixed SEF bug: The AI could "miss" and not break a door with the breaching shotgun. They will now fire up to two times, and if they miss both times, the door will break on its own.
• Fixed SEF bug: Colt Accurized Rifle, HK69, HK33, M16A1, AKM, G36C and Commando Rifle had wrong animations for AI-controlled officers
• Fixed SEF bug: M16A1 had 30 round magazine for JSP and JHP ammo and 20 round magazine for others (now it's 20 rounds for all)
• Fixed SEF bug: Manager on Meat Barn had a ridiculously high amount of morale (3.0)
• Fixed TSS/SEF bug: Suspects could be "juked" by running in a circle around them and/or spamming crouch, which would foil their AI and prevent them from firing. This was more pronounced in SEF since enemies take longer to fire their weapon.
• Fixed TSS bug: Punching a restrained suspect would make them stand up.
• Fixed TSS bug: Punching while changing weapons (or when finishing an arrest) would cause weird bugs, including turning your weapon invisible and going into a T-pose
• Fixed TSS bug: Compliant/arrested "Wild Gunner" AIs (the kind with M249 SAWs) would be sweeping back and forth still, which looked odd (they still do this while they are stunned, but it'll require some reorganization of the code to fix this properly)
