Can be used with every Reggie! version or modification.
Backup your old file first, then copy/move and rename the newly downloaded one.

To use Newer's sprites? From what I understand no, you can use a regular level.
Posted by Tempṳs
There’s no need to edit Newer’s files. Just remove them, and use a regular 01-01.arc, it’ll work fine. The LH is totally optional. Go make some original levels, damn your eyes.
Well, I still use the pre-release Version of your spritedata.xml and I see that you did a great job . I'll talk with you about one or two changings I've done already resp. I'll do but before I have to finish the Newer versions for each German Version. I did a lot of testing today and so I didn't come far with the translation but therefore I got some new info.
BTW, I've added a small sound effect list and a special effect list for sprite 332. I collect some Information from Newer's levels and when Cody gives me the decompressed levels I can look through all levels. _________________________

Yeah, I've downloaded them already but the ISO patch doesn't work. I've used the european version with ID 0x01. It spits out an .iso image with the same ID as before: SMNP01 although the README.txt said, it would spit out an .iso Image with the game ID SMNP02. This .iso doesn't work with Dolphin.
BTW: I finished the translation with all new comments this morning at half past 2^^. Though, there are some few things still unclear. _________________________

The decompressed files and the ISO patcher are unrelated, I just uploaded them to the same folder...
Well, I used the riivolution version to play the game at home, but I also tested and used the image version to play at my friends house. For me the patcher does create the ISO with the ID "SMNP02":
I haven't tested it yet, but the release from Tempus (Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii [bca Fix]) is known to be working on Dolphin.

Well, works perfect on Dolphin-x64-3.5-1400 for me
Maybe someone can shed some light on how to get it to work w/ Dolphin correctly.

Oh, very nice. More work to do, yeah!!
I think it's clear what most "enemy" sprites do, but everything event- or sound-related needs lots of testing. I think I can speak for both of us by saying that we'd be happy about every additional info concerning Newer sprites.
Ich hab's jetzt nochmal probiert, was ich auch tue, es funktioniert mit dem ISO Patcher einfach nicht. Die Spiel-ID ist immer noch SMNP01.
Mögliche Fehleransätze:
- habe den Ordner mit dekomprimierten Dateien verwendet
- falsche Nummer eingegeben
Wie hast du das denn eigentlich gemacht?
PS: ich habe jetzt sogar versucht, die Batch so zu bearbeiten, damit es SMNP02 ausspuckt, aber es hat es nicht gemacht _________________________

In Newer, Pipe Enemy Generators can also generate Monty Moles, but this option isn't displayed in your spritedata.xml. Will you add it ? _________________________
Blaps. You can also call me max31 .
Also, a pretty awesome thing, the chemical formula of Cocaine : C17H21NO4, if you could craft some for me .
There was some value on the water sprites in Ironworks Forge (which I recently beat) that might be related to how it damages Mario.
The Jumping Cheep-Cheep Generator had a value that involved Fishbones replacing them.
Koopa Troopas seem to be missing the snowcoat value for the extra types.
None of the size values seem to be changable except for the falling chestnut's.
A crapton more.
How would it be possible to change the music?
Will it be possible to change hard mode time limit?
Speaking of values we can't change, were there any interesting area/zone values we have yet to change?
Also, can somebody take a look at which effect and sound ID's?
And somebody make some external notes on which sprites can actually be used at all in the actor spawner and what happens, and some extra values for sprites you don't normally place (like the Raining Debris and Venus Fireballs and whatnot) _________________________

Ok I looked again and there is no such value in Tempus' spritedata.xml. If you research the proper nybble and value, I will be happy to add it to the database. Or maybe you can tell me, in which level they used Pipes with Monty Moles, then I can look for myself. Maybe they simply used an Actor Spawner and placed it behind Layer 0...

Yeah, these things exist in Newer. Just not in the spritedata.xml that we got from Tempus. So we have to add these things. If you have the time, please look up the values in a Newer level, test them in a separate level and post results here. I will add everything that works.

*** recommended
--- limited use
xxx buggy
Let's wait for what joietyfull has found out about the Newer sprites. But any insight coming from a Newer Team member would be highly appreciated, too.
Edit: Ok, it seems he found out a lot. I've already started the translation, but so far I haven't seen any newly discovered nybbles...
Well, I can't even run Newer as an ISO, I have Mac 10.6.6 (I use Wine to run Reggie and all the other necessary tools), I don't know if there's like a WiiScrubber for WBFS's (to edit the files inside) and it takes too long. I also have to compress and decompress the files. It's living hell. _________________________

That information wasn't given on the spritedata of Newer. Either they forgot it or this option doesn't exist. Actually you can spawn everything with the actor spawner [88 and 89]. I suppose, Newer used the Timed Actor Spawner for additional pipe enemies. I could take a look on the option, if you give me the name from the level where you saw this function.
That's not the only thing that's missing.

Take a look on the levels to see how the functions work. All functions which appeared in Tempus spritedata for Newer are included in Zementblock's one.
- The damaging water effect is caused by invisible damaging tiles (as I assumed).
- Koopa's coat is value 4 for colour
Getting out the IDs for sound effects and special effects is hard. In my case, I have no running iso from Newer to test any ID. Testing on Wii would take too long but therefor I completed Newer on Wii.
The notes for the actor spawners already exist. There is even a list available where you can check which IDs can be used and which not. If you want to know where to place the blue square, you have to look at Newer's levels. All values available for the actor spawner can be used, I think. If you want to use other values or special actors not appearing in the list, you have to ask the Newer team, if they would implement them for you.
All the other issues like music hack support, sprite images and level options can't be solved by us, but rather by the Newer Team or JasonP27. _________________________

I suppose you are both right, but in case if they forgot that option, I will check out the level where this monty mole pipe generator is (I think this is 3-3 (Grimymole Mine)). _________________________

What I'm talking about is if it works crappily or not.
Newer's spritedata used numbers or signs for each Option in the actor spawner list. The list items with "xxx" shouldn't be used at all because they will crash the Wii very likely. List items with "---" are those which need other actors as well in order to function properly or which work "crappily" that means "buggy". List items with 3 *** work well and can be used as you want. Items with numbers do the same function as the sprite. It will be spawned there where the sprite with the same number would appear when you put the sprite's origin (blue square) to the same place where the origin of the actor spawner is. _________________________

but before I have to finish the Newer versions for each German Version. I did a lot of testing today and so I didn't come far with the translation but therefore I got some new info.
