- Allows a maximum number of enemies per line (smart 16bit rendering), forcing the
rest to stay away whenever possible.
454. Added AI Global attack delay option:
- When enabled, this sets a delay where globally all the enemies won't attack if
the player was knocked down. This can be broken individually if the player attacks
the enemy. This delay applies individually to 1P and 2P.
455. Added AI Free roam option:
- When enabled, the enemies will have another walking mode allowing them to walk
slowly and selectively across the screen.
456. VSYNC notes:
- Working on Windows XP
- Not working on Windows 7/8/8.1, but if desktop composition is enabled and desktop
has vsync, try BORDERLESS_SYNC mode (system.txt)
- Windows 10 seems to have better support, SDL surface has vsync by default, but it
is not perfect, enabling BORDERLESS_SYNC may fix completely
- Working on XBOX (OG)
- Working on Linux and should do on Linux-based consoles
- This game can suffer frame pacing and stuttering depending on the system, if
BORDERLESS_SYNC does not help, try disabling Windows composition/effects
457. Added a new weapon special for Max (A+forward). (Pipe/Plank/Bat)
458. Ninja Sor2/3 should throw ninja stars less frequently now.
459. Vehelits and Neo X will ignore collisions with objects now, since these stop
their way of moving.
460. Mr.X may ignore some of the AI options, this is not a bug, its a feature, he
is such a badass.
461. Ash train easter egg will trigger only if you saw the stage previously and you
started the game at least 5 times.
462. Added new stage: Water fountain.
463. Replaced the construction site walls for glasses on the hurry up lab.

ignored like SOR2 now, be careful if you use them in Sormaker on diagonal big maps,
they will stand earlier.

478. Zan CPU friend will not throw energy balls now, hurting himself and the 1P
most of the time.
479. Sormaker: RobotX/Mr.X machine gun sound now uses the same channel which may
help when adding many of them in a mod.
480. Sormaker fix: Sor3 railroad used the same channel as ambient sound, stopping
it from playing.
481. Improved Donovan train entrance. (from the bottom)
482. Added some enemies while reaching the top floor of the Sor1 elevator that had
a lack of action for more than 10 seconds.

should not be edited unless you are experiencing issues)
- AUTO, lets the game decide the best option
- DESKTOP, forces full screen to be stretched at the desktop resolution
- BORDERLESS, exclusive full screen mode, note that window mode will be overwritten
and will NOT work on this setting, not even in 4:3 mode
- BORDERLESS_SYNC, same behaviour as before plus a patch that could possibly fix
vsync/frame pacing issues
495. Enemies may not fall at all when they are close to a wall or inside a yellow
platform and Rudra performs a backgrab jump.
496. Game Breaker: Rudra can get stuck in walls if she does a backgrab jump while
the enemy is inside a wall.

510. Bug-fix: 1P or 2P can still continue after defeating the opposing player on
the Mr. X ally fight (SOR1 route).
511. Improvements to the duplicated boss cheat:
- Now they are an exact replica of the original boss except for the palette, they
have the same intro
- Fixed some glitches and the possibility of bosses being stuck in walls
- Not all the bosses are compatible, like Mr.X, Shiva, Rudra, Yamato, Twins..
- There are rules whenever they could happen or not, in Sormaker if the enemy limit
was reached, the boss won't be cloned to avoid unwanted behaviour
512. Sormaker: Fixed free camera, can go up and down at any position now,
regardless of whether 1P or 2P.
513. Added a new enemy HP table, based on difficulty for the main game:
- Weak enemies get a bump of +8 for each higher difficulty (inspired by BK3, but
only hard, hardest, and mania difficulties are affected)
- Strong enemies do -16 easy, +16 hard, +16 hardest, +32 mania (tweak, they are
less common)
- Playing solo or 2P affects enemy life, +16hp weak enemies, +24hp strong ones
- Note: values are accumulative, mania 2P mode would add 64+ to a strong enemy
- Boss life, similar behaviour to v5.1 (easy 1.5x life bar, normal 2x, hard 2.5x,
hardest 3x, mania 4x, there are some enemy exceptions, like tedious fights: Yamato
x3, Twins on the waterfall stage.)
514. Added HP table for Sormaker:
- Create a file called "enable_hp" or "enable_hp_bk3" in your root mod folder to
enable it
- enable_hp will use the in build table designed for this game
- enable_hp_bk3 will use the original bk3 life increase, +8 each difficulty level
(build your game with easy lifebars in mind)
515. When the player dies the invincibility frames of the enemies are removed for a
short time, exception: only when they are walking or on idle (that fixes death SOR
type).
516. Bug-fix: When you grab an enemy it may display the wrong name if another enemy
was hit by a previous unfinished action, like throwing someone, dropping a grenade,
etc.
517. If 2 grenades impact each other when flying they wont explode now, that was an
issue with bikers blowing up suddenly because they were throwing them closer.
518. Fixed lifebar glitch when pausing and unpausing, specially when using machine
gun.
519. CPU friend is smarter when using a machine gun now.
520. Improved some character animation offsets:
- Zan frontal throw
- Blaze Sor1 flip
- Axel Sor1 frontal grab, grab kick, supplex
521. Bug-fix: If you take an alternate route in 2P mode and some wild enemy
appears, 2P had to defeat him before moving to the next stage.
522. Fixed duplicated knife when Jack or Slash are getting a knife from their
pocket but the animation is stopped by a hit.
523. Fixed glitch at the end scene of the baseball stadium, if you hold the 2P
player at the bottom of the floor.
524. Workaround to prevent some game crashes when switching resolution or video
filters continously in-game. (F1-4 keys, alt+enter and F8 snapshot buttons)
525. Fixed instant standing up of Jet Sor2/3 and Rocket when performing Rudra back
kick throw attack.
526. Big Ben Sor2, Bongo Sor3, Jack, and Robot X (non-boss) - improved the way they
laugh when the player is knocked down in 2P mode, previously they changed target
earlier, this could still happen if the other player is close to them.
527. Lasers can't be deflected now by throwing a weapon or shooting them, that
fixes a bug of Particle/P1 lasers getting cancelled by other enemy lasers as well.
528. Improved the shading of Signal Sor1 sprites, replaced 2 frames.
529. When Attack damage is balanced and the Gauge is enabled penalties have
changed:
- If pause delay is forced to SOR2, the penalty raises 75% of the BK3 table, this
option balances the lack of fast response and thus be sorrounded easily
- If pause delay is in combined mode, the penalty works individually, SOR1/2
character versions have 75% penalty
- If pause delay is set to anything else, a 100% penalty is applied
530. Improved the way CPU senses the items and other objects on screen:
- In the Main game the CPU finds them easily now, the game is designed for that
- In Sormaker the CPU hates items and objects close to or surrounded by walls and
will ignore them
531. Elle damage has been tweaked to be more balanced, blitz 2/3 attacks are less
spammable.
532. Abadede has been tweaked to do his run attack only when he is on screen.
533. Added enemy swap for Sormaker:
- This is a very basic replacement, in mod/resources folder, electra_sor1.fpg has
been added as an example.
- Drop the fpg file in the root of the mod folder, this replaces the enemy
- Collisions and other features needs control points to work:
000 - Sprite alignment
001 - Weapon position
002 - Impact hitpoint
006/007 - Footprints
- If you are using Auto Sor2/3 collisions you are good to go, collisions are
autogenerated with that given information, proper hitboxes of x0,x1,y0,y1 with
internal custom values
- New hitbox Sor2/3 needs manual input:
003 - x0/y0
004 - x1/y1 (these are width/height)
- The colours of the replacement sprite must match the colours of the original
sprite for this to work.
- The fpg file must be 8bit, this is mandatory, otherwise things like shadows, some
effects or palettes won't work.
534. The game has been balanced for the default settings in all difficulties in
this current state, if you are unsure of which ones they are, reset the game
options and AI editor.
535. Fixed a weird delay when the player is attacking with a weapon and turns back
to idle, this was more noticiable with Elle.
536. Bikers should jump off the bike when they are more visible now, increased the
range so the player can react and dogde the bike as well.
537. Disabling Global attack delay (AI option) enables a very slow walking AI when
run & roll is disabled that could make the challenge a bit more fair.
538. Seeker has been redone from scratch for this version, with new full sprite
set.
539. Improved the baseball stadium screen, it now displays death counts for a brief
time and has other features.
540. Added some new exclusive animations made for this version:
- Max has a new running animation and weapon attack
- Adam has new a 2 star blitz
- Some moves were changed or improved
541. Added a 1UP in the helicopter.
542. CPU may lose less lives in the helicopter now.
543. Dr. Zero's hook is damaged earlier so that may lead to a more interesting
battle.
544. Added some extra items to the Entertainment Street stage and Bongo eating a
burger in the restaurant always drops a burger now (that rectifies the lack of food
at the beginning of the scene).
545. Fixed a possible bad falling position when the player dies at the same time as
the boss in stages with collision maps.
546. Abadede only uses the spoon on normal and easy now (previously it was all
difficulties, however he keeps the throw for all difficulties, and he never
performs the suplex on easy)
547. Bug-fix: You could grab some frames that you were not allowed to with certain
enemies, most noticiable is the Yasha & Onihime back flip.
548. Plenty of assets used, based on or inspired by other games but SOR original or
tributes/easter eggs have been replaced and redone from scratch:
- Layers, floor graphics and other details in stages (not all of them are gone, but
plenty of work has been done here).
- All the images from the Profile viewer except Rudra have been redone.
- Some sprite animations, as mentioned previously in this bugtrack (Max running,
Zan grab kick, etc.).
549. Theatre and SOR fade type did not turned completely black at the end of
transition, noticiable in slow systems like Xbox.
550. Vehelits could bounce to the wrong direction when throwing at him the player
or the enemy.
551.
