THANKS FOR BEING INTERESTED INTO THIS STUFF..
THESE ARE MY FINDINGS.. YOU ARE MY FRIEND...
SO I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT HTEM.

Well, let's start with a small-sized tutorial... You
could use an exec for this... must be uncompressed
yes, it's compressed with LZEXE.. Get both compressor
and uncompressor here at the PlanetZZT++ location..
Needs to feel useful afterall.. Of course if extracting
it is too much for you here, have a copy of zzt naked
and uncompressed here.....

Now that that part's over you need a hex editor.. Yes
you do! Course use what you feel comfortable with..

or use this one! I got it off of this site here..
He recommended quite a crafty text editor too. shows
the characters.. tells time.. has a lil screen saver.
Crafy, I say!

OH YES, YOU MUST SET IT TO OVERWRITE BY EITHER CLICKING
IT WITH THE MOUSE OR CHANGING THE PREFS, THE CONFIG FILE.

Next up. type ALT+G for GO Say you wanna go
to the torch.. SURE YOU DO! type 7360 ENTER..

00007360  9A 44 06 BD  13 C6 06 6A   4F 9D C6 06  6B 4F 06 C6   .D.....jO...kO..

BOOM YO THERE...

OKAY CHANGE THE HILIGHTED AND YOUR TORCH
HAS BEEN ALTERED.. Heck, even the defaults.

What, don't know hex characters? Get ASC.ZIP,
a tsr that shows you the ascii chart when you
press ALT+A. OR JUST LOOK AT THE HEX ASCII CHART
ITS TOTALLY GHETTO, BUT IT DOES THE TRICK.. MATCH THE
COLUMNS/ROWS...  THE LEFT SIDE FIRST THEN THE TOP
or, if you know the ascii decimal number, the alt+number,
or it's a typable character.. move to where you have to go
press tab, and type the character or alt+number, then tab
again to go back!


COLORS..YOU PROBABLY WANNA KNOW ABOUT THAT TOO..

How to change colour.. where X0, X would be background 
and o would be foreground...

BG:
0=black
1=dark blue
2=dark green
3=dark cyan
4=dark red
5=dark purple
6=brown
7=grey
8=black with blink
9=dark blue with blink
a=dark green with blink
b=dark cyan with blink
c=dark red with blink
d=dark purple with blink
e=brown with blink
f=grey with blink

FG:
0=black
1=dark blue
2=dark green
3=dark cyan
4=dark red
5=dark purple
6=brown
7=grey
8=dark grey
9=blue
a=green
b=cyan
c=red
d=purple
e=yellow
f=white

so 7D would be purple on grey... or CF
would be blinky white on red

I MADE A CHART FOR THIS TOO!
ALL THE COLOURS
Okay well not all of them,
 but 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, and f
is the same as 0-7, but it makes
the foreground blink.. yeah.

Finally, about MUSIC/ Sound EFFECTS!
The music was found by using zzt sounds and
searching for what i found usually it consists
starting with 30 01, where 30 is a normal octave c
and 1 is hte first length, which is a t. 31 would
be c#, 21 would be -c# it became obvious where this
was going... and before all of the notes and lengths
i assume that's some kinda identity code of sorts, if
that's changed to 00, the song shall not play.. you
may still get some lag if the game's on speed high
and it's playing constantly such as a dupe noise, but
it should not be too bad. i hilight the hex you should
change to zero, if you were to silence it.. you could
also change the music if you wanted.

LASTLY! BACK UP YOUR STUFF! Make a batch file like i do

asc 'RUNS ASCII CHART, VIEWS HEX
hex zzt.exe 'RUNS HEX ON ZZT
zzt 'RUNS ZZT.
HECK, MAKE ANOTHER THAT DOES ALL THIS BUT
copy drive:\zzt.exe drive:\newplace\zzt.exe
THAT'LL OVERWRITE A BAD ZZT.. keep it backied!

It's easy once you try it! you'll impress your
friends when you have changed to your own customized
setting.. You can do it all.. Heck, you can discover
something completely new nobody else has just by randomly
changing htings and checking things out.. You can totally
do it. I have faith in you, yo.

Note: this was teh hardest one to find... I won't
go into it, but now with all of these, you are able
to change the character once and for all to whatever
you want.. Think of a Serious game for once, or one
about a ruffian.. So many options!
