If you have tried to add water to a zone ID between $00 and $07, you may have noticed strange effects with the water, such as the entire level filling with water or no water showing up at all (only the water line). To correct this problem, several changes need to be done to your disassembly. (This guide will use the Xenowhirl 2007 Sonic 2 disassembly; other disassemblies may vary.)

(Original guide by Dani)

If you have tried to add water to a zone ID between $00 and $07, you may have noticed strange effects with the water, such as the entire level filling with water or no water showing up at all (only the water line). To correct this problem, several changes need to be done to your disassembly. (This guide will use the Xenowhirl 2007 Sonic 2 disassembly; other disassemblies may vary.)

Xenowhirl's 2007 disassembly

First, find the section marked loc_402C and find the following line:

    subi.w  #$800,d0

and either comment it out or delete it entirely.

Next, locate the following:

WaterHeight:
    dc.w  $600, $600, $600, $600
    dc.w  $600, $600, $600, $600
    dc.w  $600, $600, $600, $710
    dc.w  $600, $600, $410, $510

and change it to:

WaterHeight:
    dc.w  $600, $600; EHZ
    dc.w  $600, $600; Zone 01
    dc.w  $600, $600; WZ
    dc.w  $600, $600; Zone 03
    dc.w  $600, $600; MZ
    dc.w  $600, $600; MZ3
    dc.w  $600, $600; WFZ
    dc.w  $600, $600; HTZ
    dc.w  $600, $600; HPZ
    dc.w  $600, $600; Zone 09
    dc.w  $600, $600; OOZ
    dc.w  $600, $600; MCZ
    dc.w  $600, $600; CNZ
    dc.w  $600, $710; CPZ
    dc.w  $600, $600; DEZ
    dc.w  $410, $510; ARZ
    dc.w  $600, $600; SCZ

Next, in the section marked DynamicWater, locate the following line:

    subi.w  #$800,d0

and either comment it out or delete it entirely.

Next, locate this section:

Dynamic_water_routine_table:
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 0
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 1
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 2

    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 4
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 5
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 6
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 7
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 8
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 9
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 10
    dc.w DynamicWaterCPZ2 - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 11 ; the only one that does anything
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 12
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 13
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 14
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 15

and replace the section with:

Dynamic_water_routine_table:
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; EHZ1
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; EHZ2
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 01-1

    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 03-1
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; 03-2
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; MZ1
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; MZ2

    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; CPZ1

    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; SCZ1
    dc.w DynamicWaterNull - Dynamic_water_routine_table; SCZ2

Once these changes have been made, you will be able to add water to any zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. If you run into any problems, please let me know and/or get it working and edit this article.

Hg disassembly

Near the top of s2.asm, you should see the following:

useFullWaterTables = 0
;	| If 1, zone offset tables for water levels cover all level slots instead of only slots 8-$F
;	| Set to 1 if you've shifted level IDs around or you want water in levels with a level slot below 8

Simply change the 0 to 1 and you're done. You can then use the WaterHeight table inbetween the lines "if useFullWaterTables" and "else", which has slots for all the levels.
