Resident Evil 3 Overhaul Mod (SOURCENEXT) news

Description:

Resident Evil 3(1999) Overhaul MOD "The Lord of the Necropolis" is a major expansion of Classic RE3.
In Ver.1.1, the new ending that I gave up implementation in Ver.1.0 due to lack of my technical ability and time is added. Many other changes have been added, such as expansion of police station, a new route after jumping off the cable car, merchants and so on. The game balance has been adjusted so that more Resident Evil fans will be able to enjoy the MOD. The new skill "tackle" and the new shooting objects "generator"and "flour bags" will be very useful in the early stages.
I hope a lot of RE fans can remember the fear and sense of accomplishment when they first played the classic series of Resident Evil.

- You need to re-install if you want to play the original game or Mercenaries again.
- Please confirm the game is started with "The Lord of the Necropolis_1_0_X.exe", or many errors will occur.
- This MOD is not officially compatible with Gemini's "Resident Evil 3 Classic REbirth" patch, but it may work.
Please confirm "Remove doors: OFF" and "Enable Japanese: ON" when using the patch.
Bugs that occur only in the patch may not be fixed.

For MOD Creators:

Please give credits to me when reusing my works for your MOD. I'm profoundly grateful if you share the link to my ModDB or Youtube. I'll get motivated to create new works.
I want to focus on development, so I'm not accepting technical questions related to MOD creation.
After the MOD update is finished, I plan to release technical information in some way.
