I have some notes which will may help people who are new at this.

I changed sprite 1 to link to ClassID 238,
and then I set sprite in W1-1 Area 1 to test it.
It didn't work. Then I changed the Spritesets of the level to 5-1 (Bullet Bill/Bomb), and then it worked.
This wasn't (as far as I know) in the tutorial, but I think it's important to know.

So: If you change a sprite to link to a ClassID which is originally used by a sprite from another Spriteset (for example 2-4), you'll STILL have to turn Spriteset 2-4 on. Otherwise the sprite won't be visible in-game.

___

Something else:
This is already in tutorial Change ClassID's of Sprites, but to prevent people making this mistake:

Posted by Hiccup

Blooper Baby

Info from: Sharks
Actor No. 146
Sprite Set: 1-4

Sprite Data

00 00 00 00 0T TS*

If you want to change the ClassID of a sprite to, for example: Blooper Baby, don't type '146' in the Hex Editor of NSMBe.
This is the Decimal Value, and you have to type it in the Hex Editor as Hexadecimal Value.
You can use this decimal to hex converter tool.
You'll see: 146 ==> 92.

I hope this information will help.

Birdo Karma: 2799 Posts: 1339/2091 Since: 06-26-11	Yes. Sprite sets should really be called Actor sets. I did put that those numbers were in decimal, and I guessed people would work out that it should be in hex, like the other numbers in the overlay. I will add these things to the first post. Thanks.

When SMW meets NSMB !

I changed sprite 1 to link to Class ID 238, but when I set sprite 1 in a level, the Banzai Bill moved to the right. I thought it would work the same as the Bullet Bill sprite, but then the Banzai Bill should have moved to the left instead of to the right.

If you set sprite 55 (Screen edge Bullet Bill spawner) in a level and you choose the option 'Y position: Fires at Mario', the Raw Sprite Data is 00 00 00 00 00 01.

If I change the Raw Sprite Data of sprite 1 to 00 00 00 00 00 01, the Banzai Bill still moves to the right, and not to the left, where Mario is.

What can I do to make Banzai Bill moving left? (or diagonal?)

Thanks, it works now! ~~And the values for diagonal?~~ EDIT: Oh never mind, I just tested some values and found it myself. EDIT2: Hm, weird, those values don't work for sprite 55..

KingYoshi, yeah it doesn't work for sprite 55 but you can actually replace e.g. sprite 2 with the following data and then you can set up bullet bills with directions:

Posted by Hiccup

Bullet Bill
Actor No. 27
Sprite Set: 5-1
To-do: rest of spritedata
Sprite Data
00 00 00 00 00 0D

Another option could be putting it on the Wiki.

I have a question

Banzai Bill is actor 238.
There is are links to tutorials in the first post. Class ID Tool doesn't work anymore, I recommend the manual (hex editing) method. Easy once you've got the hang of it, especially if you use a good hex editor.

Bullet Bill
Actor 27
Sprite set: 5-1
Data:
-- -- H- -- -- WD

Nybble 4 - H -, if set, pins the Actor's horizontal position on the same layer than the camera.

Nybble 10 - W - only works if nybble 11 is set to 1, still needs testing.

Nybble 11 - D - is the direction, already documented.

Fireball
Actor 78
Sprite set: 16-2
Data:
-- -- T- -A AA AM

Nybble 4 - T -, if nybble 11 is set to 0, controls the intensity of the fireball.
0: Leaves several sparks behind.
1: Leaves a little trail behind.
2: Doesn't leave any trail.

Nybbles 7-10 - AAAA -, if nybble 11 is set to 3, control the firing angle according to the unit circle.
To get the value in radians, apply the formula AAAA×π/32768, considering the circle rotates counterclockwise and starts from the right.
To get the value in degrees, apply the formula [450-(AAAA×45/8192)] mod 360, considering the circle rotates clockwise and starts from the top.
Noticeable values:
0×0000: Right
0×2000: Up-Right
0×4000: Up
0×6000: Up-Left
0×8000: Left
0×A000: Down-Left
0×C000: Down
0×E000: Down-Right

Nybble 11 - M - allows you to choose between mode 0 and mode 3.

Each instance of Actor 78 loads one Fireball, thus multiple fireballs can be loaded at the same time.
Cannot be loaded more than once without changing View.

Thunder
Actor 97
No need for manual input.

Flame Chomp
Actor 108
No need for manual input.

Snowball
Actor 156
No need for manual input.

Defunct Actor 229 (Some sort of platform judging by the data? Maybe uses puyo_lift.nsbtx as a texture?)
Actor 229 - Sprite 125
Sprite set: 8-4
Data:
II JJ KL H- -- --
Alas it seems that this sprite is impossible to load, but that doesn't mean it is devoid of data.

Nybbles 2-3 - JJ - are probably the Trigger ID 1?
Data supports the presence of Triggers ID, so most likely.

Nybbles 0-1 - II - are probably the Trigger ID 2?
Data supports the presence of Triggers ID, so most likely.

Nybble 4 - K - is probably the Trigger ID Check?
AND R1, R1, #1
Nybble 4 is stored in R1.
Basically if R1 is even, then R1 AND 1 = 0, else if odd R1 AND 1 = 1.
Trigger ID Check's code is exactly this, it gives credence to Nybble 4 being indeed the Trigger ID Check.

Nybble 5 - L - is probably the length by the looks of it?
If lower than 1, make it 1.
If higher than 4, make it 4.

Nybble 6 - H - is probably the height by the looks of it?
If lower than 1, make it 1.
If higher than 3, make it 3.

Banzai Bill
Actor 238
Sprite set: 5-1
Data:
-- -- H- -- -- WD

Nybble 4 - H -, if set, pins the Actor's horizontal position on the same layer than the camera.

Nybble 10 - W - only works if nybble 11 is set to 1, still needs testing.

Nybble 11 - D - is the direction, already documented.

Bill Blaster
Actor 248 - Sprite 27
Sprite set: 5-1
Data:
-- -- -- -- WD HU

Nybble 8 - W - was used by Nintendo devs, somehow as a copy of Nybble 10, but is apparently never called at all, needs testing.

Nybble 11 - U - is stored by the game for ulterior use but seems to never be called, still needs testing.

Banzai Bill Cannon
Actor 249 - Sprite 255
Sprite set: 5-1
Data:
-- -- -- -- -D -U

Nybble 11 - U - is stored by the game for ulterior use but seems to never be called, still needs testing.

Note on nybbles 0 to 3:
Those 4 nybbles are stored separately from the rest of the data, as such I came to the conclusion that if any of those nybbles are used, they will ALWAYS be identified as one category of Trigger ID.

Birdo Karma: 2799 Posts: 1541/2091 Since: 06-26-11	Interesting research! I've added the actors without sprites to the first post, could you add the sprites to the spritedb? If you don't want to do it, say so - and I will.

Death by cuteness Karma: 6609 Posts: 339/598 Since: 05-01-13	Knock yourself out, I don't have much interest in the sprite database nowadays. If the sprite database was changed to a class database, which by all rights should be the logical choice now, then maybe it will spark my interest again, maybe. EDIT: Fireball Actor updated.

Hiccup, this is why you shouldn't be so hasty when C/Ping another post. :/

Posted by Sharks

Nybble 11 - D - is the direction, already documented.

This was to be used in conjunction with your data, but now that you've wiped it out…

Nothing a Google cache can't find thankfully.

todo:
- try the unknown ones again, and put related sprites on the same screen, as this can make some things spawn, that wouldn't spawn otherwise
- use ELMario's sprite info printer!
-- Actor numbers need to be in hex, and formatted in a way I can't describe (and have mostly forgotten).
-- You still need to enable the correct sprite set/s (they should really be called actor sets ).

Numbers are in decimal. Information from my table. Which in turn is from various documents by people (e.g Dirbaio, ELMario), and some original research by me and Sharks (the latter being posted in this thread). These were tested using ELMario's sprite-to-actor association changing tutorial. Explainations of Actors (aka Class IDs): http://nsmbhd.net/thread/670-classids-sprites-correlation/#8168 http://nsmbhd.net/thread/2964-a-question-of-class/ and http://nsmbhd.net/thread/670-classids-sprites-correlation/#8168.

Blooper Baby

Info from: Sharks
Actor No. 146
Sprite Set: 1-4
Sprite Data

00 00 00 00 0T TS*

It appears as a fully grown Blooper, used as a complement for Actors 144 and 145.
Spawn only if at least one of Actors 143, 144 or 145 is present in immediate vicinity.
Will spawn even if the 3 aforementioned actors need an Input ID to appear (in the same fashion as sprites 169 and 171, as I forgot to precise earlier).
Doesn't have an Input ID on its own.

nybble 11 - S - Spawning direction:
0: clockwise spiral from right
1: clockwise spiral from bottom
2: clockwise spiral from left
3: clockwise spiral from top
Applies a modulo 4.

FF: 255 frames
00 (default) : 256 frames

Beginning frame formula is 256-TT.
Vanishing will begin at TT-48 frames (Signed, so it takes into account negatives).
Blooper Baby's vanishing is a sequence of 12 consecutive events consisting of 2 visible frames followed by 2 invisible frames, for a total of 48 frames.
