Talk:Costume

Question
hi umm i wanted to know how do i download the characters into the game that i have downloaded to my documents.

also how do i add diffrent tints for color changes for my characters?
 * How could you have downloaded characters? Expansion characters haven't been made yet. As for tints, you can only change tints in Team Battle right now. --Posted by Pikamander2   (Talk)  at 13:42, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Reorganization
For anyone reading this, I decided to do the same thing ssbwiki does with each game's palette swaps, adding all characters into one page. There are some points I'd like to add/be discussed:

1. Change the title of the article to "Palette swaps" since all the character pages use that term; conversely, change every character page to display "Color changes" or "color" (I like "palette swaps" most, but that's irrelevant).

2. I'd hope for someone to correct any incorrect color name; I'm not versed at all in this area and since english isn't my native language it's hard for me to find the exact/correct term.

3. There may be some inaccuracies in the "origin" of a color, since I don't know about every single game represented. In the same vein, there may be more references that I may have missed.

4. Having all the colors in the article, I see having alternate colors in the gallery somewhat useless. However, showing how tints/palette swaps worked in previous demos should definately stay.

"Copy-paste"d it here since the Talk:Color changes redirects here. Weird stuff

Why is this article "outdated"? I mean it's up to date with the latest released demo, can't do much about the beta stuff.Sachamel (talk) 06:44, August 19, 2015 (UTC)


 * Before anything, always add a subject to your message on talk pages. Also, you actually answered your question.


 * Good idea, Sachamel, but also renember I'm editing the page and corrected some things... I can't wait to when we make this.

Palette swap vs. Costumes
So, if I recall correctly, McLeodGaming hasn't referred to these as "palette swaps" since the dojo days. Based on this video (in fact, based on a dev blog from 2016), it looks like the official name for these is "costumes", so is it time to ditch the outdated dojo's naming convention?

 * SmashWiki already had this issue as well and just calls them "Alternate costumes". So if the term has become deprecated, then, we should ditch it. But just calling it "Costumes" feels empty, should it be "Recolored costumes" or go directly with "Alternate costumes"? --Ak-Un.PNG BYLL  EL  WYLL  Ak-Un.PNG 19:18, July 20, 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't see how costumes is an "empty name", they're not officially referred to as alternate costumes and it's not like there's anything else on the wiki that it can be confused for. And that's what it was called in both the blog and the vlog, so if it's the correct name then it's the correct name.
 * "Recolored costumes" is a weird name to give it, I'd like to assume the only reason they called it that is because this is an update to the previous costumes.

 * If that's the matter, then I'll go ahead and move the page's name, even if it seems simple. --Ak-Un.PNG BYLL  EL  WYLL  Ak-Un.PNG 21:58, July 20, 2019 (UTC)
