Wood Zone is gone. There's no way to "restore" it. You could hack the graphics back into an empty level slot if you wanted to, but I don't recommend it, unless you could think of something unique to put in the zone.

As for Hidden Palace, it's been done before. I don't have a link for it, though.

For HPZ.

.hack//zero said:

Part 1

Enemies

Make a savestate of HPZ in S2B.
Think of the enemies that you want in HPZ.
Make a savestate of the level that the enemy/object that you want in HPZ.
Open TLP.
Load the savestate of HPZ.
Goto view, format, genesis
Load the savestate of the level that the enemy/object that you want in HPZ.
Goto view, format, genesis
In the savestate of the level that the enemy/object that you want in HPZ.
Find the enemy that you want in HPZ.
Right click the area of the enemy.
Look at the offset.
Goto the savestate of HPZ.
Goto the same area as the other savestate.
Paste the enemy's tiles at the same spot in the other savestate, but in the savestate of HPZ. (some enemies will overwrite some of HPZ's tiles. I this happens you are going have to fix it.)
And save.

Part 2

Porting the tiles from S2B to S2F.

Make a backup of your hack just case something goes wrong. (optional, but it is a good thing to do.)
Open sonED.
Select your hack.
Goto File, Load Savestate
choose the savastate that you made of HPZ from S2B.
Then goto file, read data, Savestate, All
Then press F3 or File, write data, all, then save

Part 3

Restoring the level effects.

Open your hex editor
Open your hack.
Go to $425F4

change

140A 3364 150A 3364 0C0A 3364
to
1E0A 3364 1F0A 336A 0C0A 336A

Some of the Orbs will still look like crap, so you have to use a hex editer to fix this.

Warning using this will mess up the looks of the rotating diamonds in Oil Ocean Zone.

Open Sonic 2 Beta in you hex editer.
Goto $2B46A
Highlight the next 300 bytes.
Press Ctrl+C

Go back to hack in you hex editer
Goto $4BF7E
Highlight the next 300 bytes
Press Ctrl+V

Part 4

Restoring the 16x16 collision index.

Goto $4A09
Type in 0004 3C10.
Goto 43C10.
Download this
http://www.angelfire.com/ultra2/hpz/HPZ_collision_com.dat (I don't why this one works normally, but it does)
Open HPZ_collision_com in the hex editor that your using.
Copy everything in it, and paste it in your hack.
Click to expand...

For WZ.

Goto Wood Zone act 1
Open the savestate with the S2B version of Wood Zone.

Type in 000E 4280.
Goto E4280.
Open Wood_Zone_collision_com.
Copy everything in it, and paste.

Making the life counter look normal.

hey do you find $49F0-49F3

.hack//zero · Feb 27, 2005

If you're using Hex Workshop.
Goto edit.
Goto goto...
Put in 49F0.
Then press enter.

Aurochs · Feb 27, 2005

That information is most likely in the help file. I suggest you read it.

.hack//zero · Feb 27, 2005

Are trying to find it in your hack, or in HPZ_collision_com? If you using HPZ_collision_com, open up your hack and goto $49F0.

Reading that made my head hurt. Please learn to write.

Yes, I realize that I'm an asshole.

Kles · Feb 28, 2005

DTZ, try some tutorials. You're lucky that .hack//zero is being so nice.

Yes, learn to write. Very, very rarely do people get accepted when they type like that; you aren't on that pace. Shape up or ship out.

I'm voting on the latter at this rate.

What I don't get is how people can show the intelligence to get in past the test then just simply blow it.

ComPro · Feb 28, 2005

Anyone can Google for the answers, which is why the Trial Member stage is so crucial.

Nearly all of the answers can be found on the site itself, maybe even all of them. It's simple to pass the test, as long as your prepared to look.

DTZ · Feb 28, 2005

Okay, I'm having a slight problem with porting the tiles from Sonic 2 BETA to my hack. It loads the save-state okay. (the tiles are almost completely blue)

But when I tell it to write data from the save-state, it says: Not yet implemented. I'm just wondering; have I done something wrong somewhere? :huh:

Thanks for your help

PS: Sorry for my bad handwriting, my bad.

Sonic 65 · Feb 28, 2005

You're using SonEd, right? Instead of that, Nemesis compress the tiles in the savestate and put them at the end of the ROM. Then change the HPZ art location pointer to the correct offset.

Yes, SonED is quite lame in it's use of porting tiles and such data from savestates. The reason behind such ludacrous comments is this; it can't. There hasn't been an update for this that I am aware of since I joined the community.

Trigahd · Feb 28, 2005

You can't write to savestates, but you can save to them and they will work. Click save to savestate and it should work from there.
