A) Sprites not appearing in designated places (not appearing at all).

B) A massive splash of random items on the editor which actually do not appear in the game. This happened once on two maps after I tried to add 3 hearts and 3 blue rupees as items, the maps filled up with items and they were splattered on random tiles, but they did not show up in the game.

C) Doors cannot be entered sometimes. This is probably just my own problem and not setting the correct door settings, although when I get these problems I try to match the settings as much as possible to the actual game and they still don't work.

Dungeons are a rigerous part of the hacking process. In order to make yours appealing and usually working well, here's some tips that you should consider:
> Make a theme or something special about most of you dungeons. An example of a good theme would be an old castle, a torture chamber, etc.
> Choose a basic blockset for enemies, objects, and walls. These three sets will help express the theme of your dungeon. Make sure though that every room has the same blocksets or you will run into glitches. The safest way to use different blocksets in different rooms is if they are separated by staircases (Meaning you have to go up or down stairs to reach the next room).
> If you plan on using warps then you should keep the same blockset throught the whole dungeon because when you use a warp point the blockset is not reloaded.
> Try to make your palletes look match the blocksets, especially with enemies.
> Try to mix up the bosses in the game. Don't be afraid to put Mothula as the first boss. Although it would be smart to leave bosses like TriNexx for later since they need the rods to be defeated.
> Bosses health and attack power can be changed with Euclid's Hyrule Addons Editor, take advantage of that. There are many other ways to make a boss harder or easier. The best way to find out is to play the original, fight the boss and record what made them easy or hard. So to make them harder we can cover the corners and maybe put blocks in the middle to keep people from hiding.
> Try to avoid putting warps on BG2, sometimes after going through them, the enemies will dissapear. I have a few warps in BG2 and they work fine.
> When inserting doors, make the special doors (Bombable, Locked, Unopenable') first. Otherwise they are bound to not work. A more accurate description is they have to all be at the front or at the back for them to work best. (i forgot which)
> **DO NOT TOUCH THE ROOM ZELDA IS IN!** There is no point is messing with this room, it's hardcoded and could glitch up the rest of the game if changed too much. wrong again, I've completely changed zelda's room with the exception of zelda's cell and zelda's sprite, it appears to be working.
> The intro is hardcoded, it'll be easy to change the room which it loads, but do keep in mind that the dead king is a sprite and will always stay in that same spot. Same goes with the room Zelda's is. You don't have to put Zelda in that room, you can always "obsolete" that room. wrong again, those rooms can be changed (Neonswift knows how already )
> The rom has bunchs of rooms where they *have* to use the same room header (Can be changed, will take long but not possible to have one header for each room.), try to find them out, group them into one dungeon (So you don't have to worry about them later on). There is a limit to the number of room headers, but you just need to know there isn't a way of making 2 rooms share a header (you can make rooms share data using duplicate room option, but not the header)
> There's certain rooms where going right/left, doesn't mean you're going to the room to the right/left. I have no idea what happens but it always tend to happen when you have a move left or right in a room which you have to first jump down after entering the dungeon (A good exemple of this is the Hyrule Palace). What they did they use a special door which allows them to look into the ST3/ST4 for rooms in the room header, It is not suggested to do the same thing since the chance of stuff up is very high.
> There are blocksets where Ice is actually Water, so beware.
> The special doors (Bombable, Locked, Unopenable�), have a limit, I believe it's 8 in total, the rest have to be opened.
> One more note on putting "down" doors, sometimes they turn out to be dungeon exits which crashs the game, 00 - Open is always safe though. 00/01 open is safe, to make sure the dungeon room can be exited from there, put a type 09(check this i forgot if it's 09) door in front of it.
> Some people are usually annoyed when their BG2 refuses to save. Click the room headers (More button up the top) then press ok and save again. It should save now.
> The Kill boss again tag only works on the last level, but there's a way around it through asm.
> Only Room 0 can be the last level, don't try to mimic it, you'll just move up one room instead.
> More related to the overworld but, don't try to mimic the Water Palace in the Dark World, you can even get rid of those water thingy, they tend to be annoying at hacking.
