SoR3 Ultimate Mod for V5 - Back From Break

No-one better go moaning about a Baby Knuckle screen this time.
I made this specially for the mod, inspired by the EU SoR2 Title Fix.

Let's go.

Thanks for making this possible, Russia.

Release Draft
Only Compatible with v5.1 - REQUIRES DATA FOLDER!!!
This mod contains a huge data overhaul to tweak V5 to desired appearance and behaviour, and without such there will be a range of issues from the smallest to the most stupidly obvious.
Issues from using outdated versions of SoRR will be disregarded.


The impossible challenge of converting BKIII and SoR3 into one huge mod for V5... not so impossible when I'm in charge, eh?


4 modes to choose from, as you would expect from the V5 ports.
The two primary modes are Casual and Hardcore, based on the JP and EU ports respectively.
Having these two options, both fully scaled to the 5 difficulties of V5, means you have a total of 10 distinct difficulty settings to play the core of the mod in!
Battle uses the versus mode scenes and transforms them into an intense survival/horde experience, which concludes in the Hardcore Good End route.
Epilogue is a completely fresh set of five stages, built in SoR1 'one scene per stage' format, set shortly after the Good Ending. I must say, the finale is a Masterpiece.

Contains the necessary data and palette patches.

Extracting Resources
If you extract resources from the mod for other projects, remember who took their free time to extend, arrange, layer, and animate them. Don't be an Allan Cyllakes; don't be a dick, please give credit.
I would appreciate it a lot, thank you!

Difficulty Shenanigans
Casual
Easy-Very Hard are at least 99% mirrors of BKIII's Easy-Very Hard.
Mania, where enemy space allows, upgrades enemies to the nearest-HP-above SoR3 variant.
Easy and Normal get a Neutral End at Stage 5.
Hardcore
Easy-Hard are at least 99% mirrors of SoR3's Easy-Hard.
Very Hard uses SoR3's 2P Hard health values.
Mania, where enemy space allows, upgrades enemies to April Fool's health values, and sometimes even switches up the enemy type to an SoR1/SoR2 variant.
Easy will get everybody's "favourite" Bad End at Stage 5.
Battle
Difficulty Gating is used to redirect Easy, Normal, and then Hard, to the core mode.
Very Hard and Mania get the full masochistic experience.
2P Mode has no effect on if you're gated or not, but it will add more enemies.
Epilogue
My personal Easy-Mania scaling style, with a considerable boost to difficulty in 2P mode.
Similar to Adam's Story style.

Yeah no need to antagonise people, I know you have hang ups from 8 years ago, but leave it out and move on.

On the first day of Christmas CajNatalie gave to me... ... ... A Streets of rage collection

Fuck my life...
Sunset Event is being unhelpful. >______>

Sheesh, how many files does one little scene take?

Wait are we still wondering what's next? Because I'm pretty sure I have an idea what, I mean I can't put my finger on it just yet but I have a sneaky suspicion no one told me a thing.

As a big fan of SoR3, I am highly looking forward to this mod's completion.

I DIDN'T TELL YOU A DAMN THING!!! >O

Shiva really likes blazes' legs...

Imagine if the crap that I managed to piece together was properly ripped, separated, and animated...
Oh hey look, there go.

Seriously I was way over my head last time, and my rips were corrupted.

Is there going to be that bonus mode like in your Sor2 mod you made recently, or is this a remake of Sor3?

Why wouldn't there be?

Don't mind me, just doing innovations for Stage 3... *whistles*
The amount of technical detail in this game for its time is nuts.

When i was young, the wait for SOR3 was too long, i saw magazine pictures and roo, and really wanted to play it, 1993-1996 i played sor2 almost all the time, and despite sor3 being released in 1994 i dont remember even seeing the game in stores... It wasnt until years later that i got to try the game out. I guess by 95 i was moving onto other systems.

Anyway, it's good to see an update, we don't want a rushed Christmas release tho, don't worry about us.
We await the CAJ stamp of approval before release.

*whistles innocently*

Nothing to see here. Move along folks.

*Dr. Dahm's voice*

HE'S ALIVE.... ALIVE~!

It's not anywhere near April First.. So please don't be Photoshop!
Is this mod going to include some kind of path to the sormaker?!?!

[You will need to buy me some new underwear]...

No overlap layer - check.

No custom breakable items - check...

You win @_@

Edit: I noticed that you used Break's sprites on Shiva just like breakable items

You wish it was like breakables, hahaha. Took 5+ programs and hours and hours of decrypting, sheet building, exporting, re-encrypting, perfecting control points, paletting, and testing.
Not to mention devising the concept and what would be used for what animations, and the 'Bio-Break' beta one of us did to try the concept out.
Only a few people can do this shit to V5.

Anyway, meanwhile in the Subway...

Smash the wall to get to the obvious side-room.


Tear down the panel to access the heavily guarded treasure room.


Break the floor and drop down the hole(!!!) to access the secret basement.


Or feel overwhelmed and unable to decide; you will automatically go through the door you busted down earlier.

I just finished testing and perfecting the collision... t'was easy for me.

I was looking forward to another update on this mod. It's looking awesome, though i would like to say that i hope your non official route/version has a brown and not pink version of these levels... Once you go brown you don't go back (apparently)

Turning it brown would be tampering; not allowed! *glares*

Unless you're talking about the 4th Route that doesn't even exist at all yet.
Whatever happens for the 4th will be way more imaginative than palette swapping, please.

Be patient. Everyone need rest after doing their own things than mods. You don't need to say "coming on Christmas" or the mod will be end up like game breaking :p be patient, sit down watch youtubers' videos...

The mod's currently on hiatus while I transfer exact attack hitbox data from the original into V5, frame by frame so it's slowing me down significantly.
Well, as exact as possible, since V5 uses hit-lines and never had the chance to be updated to boxes.

I'm preparing a special present for people who beat Hardcore at a high enough difficulty.
