Resident Evil 3 - I'll Give You STARS Edition

Hack of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

Resident Evil 3 - I'll give you STARS edition
Special Thanks/Credits:
Unicorngoulash: Extra space for mods (RE3 Modders Edition) & Knife Backup original asm code
Diamondcutter/UL1/Misfire: Freeze Address from the PAL version
Makes the gameplay more action-oriented than the typical "Survival hard to maneuver Horror" gameplay, with some "QOL" improvements throwed in with perks that make the game easier/tailored for casual gameplay
Update 1.1:

• Dodging while in danger is possible now
• "Tactical Mode": Reload Freeze now is optional by toggling on/off (on by default) with "R1 + Triangle" while in inventory.
• While in "Tactical Mode" (freeze off), auto reloading (firing with no ammo left) is disabled so reloading must be done manually with R1 + Triangle (it's still possible to combine ammo inside inventory like vanilla though).
• While in "Tactical Mode", the animation for lowering the weapon is no longer cancellable (works as vanilla)
• Some code were revamped for less use of instructions.

Changes:

• The character spins on their axis faster than in the original (improves dodging and overall mobility)
• "Limping running" (Danger Run) animation changed to the same as "Caution" animation
• "Caution/Danger" Backwalk animation changed to work as "Fine" animation
• Safe Reload (optional): The reload animation freezes opponents for its duration
• Safe Dodge: The dodge animation freezes opponents for the duration until aiming is complete (exception: the crouching dodge only freezes during aiming)
• It's possible to dodge even under Danger condition
• Tactical Reload: R1 or R2 + /
• Quick Disarm(optional): The animation for lowering the weapon is cancellable (enhanced mobility)
• Rapid Stabs: The knife attack has a faster return
• Knife Backup by UnicornGoulash: Unequipping any weapon will arm the character with a knife (no need to carry the knife in the inventory)
• Ammo Crafting "Fix": Burning gunpowder AA, BB, AAA, BBB, AAB, or BBA increases experience by 2 or 3, accordingly. AAB/BBA increases one letter by 2 and the other by 1

WARNING: Only works if you burn the gunpowder ON TOP OF THE RELOADING TOOL, not the other way around (the reloading tool on top of the gunpowder won't work)

• Swap Common/Enhanced Ammo: After gaining enough experience level to make Enhanced Ammo (+7), press "Check" to switch between ammo types (noticeable by the color change of the ammo. Blue = common, Red = Enhanced)
• You start with 10 slots
• Ink Ribbons are no longer necessary to save the game
• Beating Nemesis (encounters which he drops an item) puts you on maximum health
• Costume Change: pressing select while in inventory put next outfit in queue from the 7 available (will load in next room)

order: normal - normal sidepack - biker - stars - disco - policewoman - regina

• Tactical Mode: pressing R1 + Triangle while inside inventory activates the following changes that make the game a little bit more challenging:

-Reload Freezing is disabled (the dodges still freeze though) -Quick Disarming is disabled (works as in vanilla) -Auto reloading when the clip is empty is disabled so that now reloading must be done manually (combining ammo still works normally)
Known Issues:

• The "Wall stabbing" animation was removed, and depending of the char position, the camera may not change when continuously stabbing. It will change accordingly as soon as the char makes another action (i.e walk)

Instruction:
Apply the patch on the "BIN" file of your USA Resident Evil 3 copy/image with any software that applies xdelta patches
