UMK3 Revision 1.3 Public Beta Change Log
REVISION 3 (FINAL BETA)
1. CHANGES REVERTED/MODIFIED:
Shao Kahn and Motaro are now fought in The Pit 3 and The Balcony, respectively.
Blood no longer permanently sticks to the floor. It has a longer duration than the original, but this was causing stability issues in Endurance Rounds and Boss fights.
MODIFICATION: The 'MIDWAY PRESENTS' screen now gives a random Shao Kahn taunt.
2. BACKGROUND CHANGES:
FACTORY FIX - Scorpion's Pack Fatality no longer crashes when done on The Subway stage!
NEW STAGE: SUSWERD HET, a hybrid of the UMK3 red portal/bio background and the MK3 portal has been created. It is the second to final stage in the rotation, and is accessible by kombat kode 4-4-8 8-4-4. NOTE: This replaces the text only kombat kode "don't jump at me - mkv"
FACTORY FIX: Multi level stages (Street, Balcony, Kahn's Kave) will no longer repeat if they are uppercut into the match before. The game will follow the stage rotation instead of repeating the stage in the next match.
STAGE ROTATION: Stage rotation has been updated: Subway, Street, Rooftop, Soul Chamber, Balcony, Bridge, Bell Tower, Temple, Graveyard, Pit 3, Waterfront, Scorpion's Layer, Kahn's Kave, Desert, Blue Portal, Red Portal, Noob's Dorfen
3. ANNOUNCER CHANGES:
FACTORY FIX/UPDATE: Noob Saibot is now announced as "Toasty!" When selected on the select screen, and entering the fight in 2v2 Kombat. He is also announced as "It's official, you suck" When he is announced in his character ending.
FACTORY FIX: The announcer now correctly announces when Human Smoke and Classic Sub Zero perform Mercy. Announcer was previously silent.
4. FIGHTER SELECT SCREEN:
Human Smoke now faces opposite direction of Classic Sub Zero, consistent with MK Trilogy and Juggernaut Hack.
Noob Saibot now has portrait on screen - subject to change for final.
FACTORY FIX: Player 1 no longer takes alternate palette when player 2 has Shang Tsung highlighted
FACTORY FIX: Palettes swap in real time on select screen when both players have highlighted same character. (1v1 Kombat, 2v2 Kombat has sporadic functionality)
5. CLASSIC SUB ZERO:
Classic Sub Zero's Friendship has been restored! Input is Down, Forward, Forward, Back, LK.
6. SHANG TSUNG:
Shang Tsung now has morphs for Robot Smoke and Human Smoke! Morph to Robot Smoke by inputting Down, Forward, Forward, LP, and Human Smoke by inputting Forward, Forward, Back, LP
7. SHAO KAHN FIGHT:
FACTORY FIX: When Shao Kahn wins a match there is more delay between the end of the round and start of the next. This is so his end round taunt doesn't mix into the next round.
When Shao Kahn loses a round, the winner is not announced.
8. MISCELLANEOUS:
In attract mode intro, Rain now uses Classic Sub Zero's 4 hit combo, and the stage used is the new Red Portal.
Credits for Revision 1.3 have been added.
All Characters have working bios and endings
Shao Kahn's defeat sequence now features more stages, instead of cycling between the 4 UMK stages and Pit 3.
REVISION 2.01
1. CHANGES REVERTED:
Character select screen has been changed to the original background
Fatality sound clip restored to the original clip - was the "vs screen" clip to sound more like MK2. Now back to original.
2. BACKGROUND CHANGES:
FACTORY FIX - Bell Tower - Bell towers on edges of screen moved down so they are visible during fights.
Center bell tower has been placed to mimic prototype MK3 bell tower.
Moon in background now has clouds flying by.
FACTORY FIX - Scorpion's Layer - Skull restored on right edge of screen
Graveyard - One layer of background shifted to the right to now display an extra mausoleum in background, and an image of a man digging a grave.
FACTORY FIX - AAMA advisory screen is now centered and not cut at the right side of the screen.
3. ANNOUNCER CHANGES:
FACTORY FIX - Scorpion, Kitana, Jade, and Reptile now have the MK3 announcer's voice when they win a round.
4. HUMAN SMOKE
Human Smoke now has a P2 palette for mirror matches.
Portrait now on character select screen - currently faces the same way as classic sub zero - this will be changed in future revisions.
FACTORY FIX - Announcer properly says "Smoke shows Mercy" When Human Smoke performs mercy in 3rd round
FACTORY FIX - Human Smoke's Smoke effect restored after going through 2nd level of kombat zone.
5. NOOB SAIBOT
Noob Saibot has new P1 and P2 fighter palettes. P1 Noob has real skin. P2 Noob has shadow skin and a darker outfit.
P1 and P2 VS Screen outfits now the same.
FACTORY FIX - When selected on Character select screen, now says "Toasty!" instead of "Kano Wins"
Noob Saibot now has his own color of blood!!
6. CLASSIC SUB ZERO
FACTORY FIX - Classic Sub Zero now has a babality! Input for this is Down, Forward, Down, Run
FACTORY FIX - Announcer properly says "Sub Zero shows mercy" when Classic Sub Zero performs mercy in 3rd round.
7. MISC
FACTORY FIX - Sektor replaces Liu Kang on Master II ladder where Liu was fought on 2nd and 5th fights. Sektor is placed in the 5th spot. Sektor was chosen because he is fought the least of factory unlocked characters in arcade mode.
Blood spatter does not stay on screen for specials that cause blood spatter - this is to alleviate game crashes in 2v2 and endurance matches, and stages that are memory intensive.
Stage Rotation is the same as 1.01. There are a few duplicates, for a reason... new stages in the works??
REVISION 1.0, 1.01.
Revision 1.01 fixes issues with unlocked hidden characters.
REVISION 1.0
This revision focuses mainly on visual fixes but there are additional changes that make sense to the game.
1. GENERAL CHANGES
Win count does not reset in 2 player mode unless machine is reset. Win count only resets when a 2nd player enters game during arcade ladder, game reset, or game over. NOTE: This also disables the consecutive win streak initials entry screen after losing a match when previously winning 5+ matches.
Human Smoke and Noob Saibot no longer stage locked. Other hidden characters no longer stage locked (would previously stage lock if MAME cheat is applied to access them).
Stage Rotation updated to no longer force UMK3 stages to cycle twice, moves MK3 stages to front. No longer causes MK3 stage loop between Soul Chamber, Balcony, and The Bridge. Duplicate Bank/Desert removed.
Human Smoke and Noob Saibot selectable on screen - currently using Dragon icons used for hidden characters.
2. AUDIO CHANGES
At the "Midway Presents" Screen, the bell toll sound clip has been changed.
On the character select screen, when another player presses start, the player entry sound clip has changed.
At the "Choose your destiny" screen, the response from Shao Kahn has changed for each. This is to address the lack of change from MK3.
REVERTED - The initial Fatality sound clip has changed - it is now the same as the Vs. screen sound clip, which sounds more like the MK2 fatality sound clip.
Scorpion and Human Smoke's "Get Over/Come Here" sound clip is no longer cut off by blood spatter. This also causes special moves such as Kitana's Fan, Kung Lao's Hat, and Stryker's Riot Gun to no longer have blood spatter noise.
3. VISUAL CHANGES
Blood spatter from normal moves does not dissipate, but does reset between rounds. Blood spatter from special moves does dissipate, but stays on the floor for longer than previous.
Character Select Screen background changed to Red Portal background
Fighers appear lower to "ground" on character select screen
Fighters appear in front of Human Smoke/Noob Saibot select portraits in 1v1 now as well as 2v2, although cursor is still in front.
The Desert stage background layers have moved slightly right. On LCD monitors and MAME the stage sky area cuts off, and in the corner the sand dunes are broken. This corrects this issue. However this will not affect arcade cabinets as the edgres of the screen aren't seen.
