Noting this when I get a new computer, StackSmash has some textures that are missing, but a lot of the images are gone so we might need to guess what they looked like.
Yeah, that is a problem... if a texture with a broken download has broken pictures it can't be reproduced unless:
-> You knew or remembered what it looked like.
-> If a texture is part of a series (for example, phazon, nebula green, or mango/maritime/mirage/mars/minty/rainbow) you can use other characters hacks to guide you in making this new one.
-> Or if you are lucky enough... finding a picture or a video including said character...
Reviving hacks using these procedures will be an amazing feat.
Guessing is not recommended, the results could be anything that might not follow what the texture was... and that goes against the goal of the project.
I also like the phrase "Making old gold new again"
You know, when I started modding I really wanted some textures that had their broken links... its sad that I couldn't do anything about it. Now since I have the experience, I decided to fix that. And so I decided to start this little project in witch brings back those hacks and polish them into new ones.
Speaking of witch:
These where added to the family.
Now all I have to do is to fix the OP format, but the claimed section merges with the character and introduction when I tried... I couldn't even reserve a post since it also merges, anyone knows how to fix that?
I like the vibe the maple red does to characters, Lucas look great... so brawl like too! The eye changing is not necessary on Lucas, he looks great as is!
Looking great, but the scarf doesn't fit. I think you over contrasted it, it feels like an action comic book scarf. Pehaps lowering the contrast and saturation would work!.... that rob is a lie.
What is this? Project R is a community project. Our goal lies in making old gold new again. By merely using the visual aids offered by texture hacks with broken downloads, they must recreated by adding a "modern" touch to it (such as fixing the hack, adding details, etc.) while still maintaining the idea of what the hack supposed to be, offering both a pac and a pcs files and giving a nice CPS and BP with it.
Can I join? You CAN but the rules are a bit strict...
Rules in choosing/making:
Check the "Hacks in Need of Your Help" spoiler in the Brawl Vault Community Support, look for the character (or stage) with a broken download (preferably texture, no imports unless they are recolors) that dates from 2012 or less and has more than 100 downloads (or they are good looking) that you would like to recreate. (you can search for broken hacks from other websites too, but make sure they were made between years 2012 and 2010, the download count rule does not apply here)
Copy that link paste it here with a picture of it to "Claim" it. The link and your name will be posted in a "claimed section" so none else can do said hack as well.
Make the hacks as close as possible to the original, but if you find something wrong (commonly saturation, or lacks something) you may alter it, if a part of a hack's body is not shown in the pictures... go creative.
Rules in uploading:
Make sure you have a CPS and BP included in your download as well as the pac and pcs, if not, we would make them for you (I'm slow at it though), or I can teach you... it not hard to learn the process.
The third preview picture must have the insignia layered on it to identify it as one of the project.
Give credit to the maker of the previous version, plus give a link of the previous hack in your description box.
Update! -You can now make custom poses for your character's menu assets, only rule is to make 'em nice! -You can now use a "preview card" instead of the basic in game pictures to show off fanciness.
Usually, this makes lazy people run in the opposite direction.
