    1. I changed the level select with ESE as you can see below:

    [​IMG]

    However, Nuclear Ocean says acts 3 and 4 instead of 1 and 2, which was where Metropolis acts 3 and 4 used to be. How do I change the 3 and 4 back to 1 and 2?

    2. I shortened Metropolis (Metallic) zone to 2 acts. The problem is, act 2 says it's act 3 on the title card. How do I change that 3 to a 2?

    This is the limitation of the Esrael-created level select. You'd be better off creating your own. Ask Exor Chaon for help. :P

    *asks Exor for help*
    *Exor asks somebody else for help*
    *Exor claims help as his own*
    *Gives Exor credit*

    No, I'm not going down that road. :P

    Anyway, problem 2 has nothing to do with the ESE level select thingy. It was like that before I changed the level select.

    Internally, act 2 of Metallic is act 3 of Metropolis. So obviously it says "Metallic Zone 3". However, I need to change that 3 to a 2. There must be some way to hard-code it, as things like Death Egg Zone don't display an act number.

    Also, I need to remove the 1 from "Golden Palace Zone 1" (in hidden palace slot).

    To change 3 and 4 to 1 and 2 go to Offsets: (ESE Menu Only)
    ->$483FA change 0013 to 0011
    ->$48402 change 0014 to 0012

    And MZ act 3 Title Card Change the following Offset to Display Act 2
    ->$13E16 change 7214 to 7213 (ACT 2) --> Load Pointer 13 in Title Cards Mappings


    :D Fixed Now

    Well, I changed the one at $48402 but at $438FA it says 0404 along the entire row.

    Done.

    Okay, the 3 4 has changed to 3 2 (so I still need to change the 3)

    Also, I need to remove the 1 from "Golden Palace Zone 1" (hidden palace zone) title card.

    EDIT

    Well, looks like I figured it out, I looked at the area around $48402 and found the 0013, so I changed it to 0011 and it works! Now I just need to edit the golden palace title card.

    Working on a vulkan game engine for fun. Learning Ray-Tracing.
    I think he meant $483FA.

    To Remove numbers from Title Cards add the following code in Title Card Object:
    - In Offset: $13DF6 -> replace [ 0C 00 00 10 67 42 ] with [ 4E B9 00 xx xx xx]
    xx xx xx is the new offset ex: end of Rom ($100000)
    - At end of Rom insert the following bytes (remove numbers from SCZ and HPZ Title Cards)

    Code (Text):
    1.  0C 00 00 10 67 00 00 0C 0C 00 00 08 67 00 00 04
    2. 4E 75 4E F9 00 01 64 E6

    Thanks, but GPZ still displays a 1 on the title card.
