Ok here's my recipe for cooking up my take on the hood secret room.
This is an extension of my Spyroom mod (
http://forum.guildofwriters.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4814&start=10) and adds a link to one of the books in the meeting room. The link takes you to my version of the Hood Secret Room.
I've divided the recipe into two parts, each part has an accompanying zip file, and in the first part there is a choice of two options.
Part One: Meeting RoomIf you already tried the spyroom mod using SpyroomMod_rev02 you need to add the linking book with this file:

1. Assuming the original mod worked for you you may want to back up some files:
spyroom_District_spyroom.prp
spyroom_District_Textures.prp
spyroom.sum
2. Open PlasmaShop, navigate to spyroom Age, click on 'spyroom_District_spyroom.prp' and open PrpShop. Once there open 'spyroom'.
3. The first thing that must be done is to delete three files. Find the folder called 'Drawable Spans'.
Right click on 'spyroom_District_spyroom_00000000_0Spans'
'spyroom_District_spyroom_00000000_0Spans0'
'spyroom_District_spyroom_20000000_0BlendSpans0'
and choose Delete
4. Right click on spyroom and choose Import.. navigate to the folder containing the unzipped files. Open the folder called Files and import the contents.
5. Three objects need to be added to the Scene Node:
RgnScrtRmBook
ScrtRmLinkBook
ScrtRmLinkImg
6. One object needs to be imported into 'Textures'. Right click and choose Import.. Navigate to the folder called Mipmap and import the file it contains.
From the main file menu choose Save.
7. Delete or update the .sum file in PlasmaShop
8. Copy the 'spyroom.pak' file from the unzipped 'Python' folder to your Uru install's 'Python' folder
You can now test the link. As you haven't yet altered the Hood files the link will take you to the default Link In point
