I was wondering last night. You know how we're limited on character slots for textures, right? There are .pac, and .pcs files each having a texture. What if they weren't the same texture.
Like let's say for example, I have Das Donkey Tiim's Beltmonth Marth .pcs named to FitMarth04.pcs, and krlosf's Blood Knight .pac named to FitMarth04.pac. I know that the game loads .pcs files, but what I've noticed it that if you select a character quickly, along with a stage, the .pac loads instead of the .pcs. And on Wi-Fi, your opponent's character loads on .pac files if I heard correctly. I don't think this will work on certain characters since they need their .pac files.
So would it be possible to have two textures, sharing one slot? That is my question.
dude, i think you're on to something...
As you've noted: in quick-loading, pac is used --- otherwise pcs is (since pcs has to take extra time to be decompressed) If you can figure out how to swap which loads based on a button combo... sure that will work.
But that would probably require a PW level code maker --- have to essentially change the game's programming on what it loads / when.
I have already thought of this before. I think it could be useful for something sometime.
I think that would most likely freeze the game, since the textures/indexing are probably different.

I've just tested it last night. Works perfectly. Now all we need is a code like Picano mentioned.
this sounds crazy but i thought of that too last night

Learn some more about things before you start saying [censored].
Also, i have done this with bowser. It works.
quick-loadings almost always make me freeze :C
wow. i never thought of something like this. nice thinking shadow. (i miss you on smashers' inc :C)

I said "think" and "probably".
