1. Introduction:
 

2. What you need
-> A fully functional way to launch modded brawl.
-> Brawl Box, v0.70 and above works great for rimlight!
-> Your model you want rimlit, in this tutorial I'll be using the Unmasked Lucas from PM3.02: "FitLucas06.pac" get one and save a backup, follow along with this one so you can get the idea.
-> This thing, saved on .png labeled "Edge":

3. Rimlight phase one: Preparing your model
  Once you gathered everything, you are ready to begin. Lets go shall we?

3a. Materials 1


3b. Shaders
This is the most complex step, however, everything is a pattern... so once you memorize the patterns, you are god of applying shiny coats to 3d models, that's a... pretty useful god I guess?


3c. Materials 2
You can finally close that dreaded shader folder, and now you can return to your material folder.


4. Rimlight phase two: Finishing and testing


Results:

Congrats, if you made it this far, that means you successfully completed rimlighting... or did you?

5. Glitch Fixing:

5a. Delphino Glitch
The bane of all rimlighters  >: [   Fix discovered by Mewtwo2000


5b. FS eyes glitch
Also known for the Glitchy Final Smash Eyes. Looks like your character never slept huh? This glitch happens both with texturing AND rimlighting certain characters like Pikachu and Kirby, this will fix it for both scenarios.

Very good tutorial, Scout! You deserves a cookie.

Wait, the delfino madness with textures that use dynamic or animated texture coordinates has a fix now?

Also, having PreviousAlpha for that part be in selection A or D doesn't really matter as long as the others are set to zero, but I guess it's good to copy whatever reference shader as closely as possible anyway.

Nice tutorial, btdubs.

Updated the tutorial with a picture proving the FS eye glitch tutorial works. And uploaded the fixed pikachu model here: http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=206517 (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=206517)

Removed the Misscode section since its another FAQ anyways. And speaking of FAQ's, our first one was added.

And I added links to my other tutorials that I made on KC-MM.

Yup, it had a fix since...27-01-2014 (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=59561.msg1220228#msg1220228).

Huh, well since I gave "A" the previous value all the time it grew on me, seeing "D" with the previous one made me though of a slight value error. Good to know tough, thanks!

Nice tutorial, btdubs.

And thanks again!
I tried to make the tutorial as new-user friendly as it could possibly be, and giving it a full focus in covering every single details. It was a lot of writing and typo fixing, but it was all worth it.
