My own build of Project M. For the most part it is a visual refresh, includes new CSS, CSPs and BPs for almost every character, a refreshed HUD, and retextures for many characters making them look more like the Wii U versions (or just cleaner and more colourful) and additional alternate costumes.



NEW LINKS (as of March 18, 2015):

Please note that this build is (for all intents and purposes) incomplete. It is missing a good chunk of the textures I wanted, and even less CSPs have been replaced due to freezing issues. That said, the select screen DOES look like this (minus the wacky text). You may have to play around with the characters to find who is modified and who is not... Other than that it should be perfectly playable.

Just extract to the root of your SD card, it should work using either the homebrew or hackless methods, no modification needed. It should merge/replace whatever you have on there and still work fine, but I recommend backing up your SD card first and then extracting this to a clean card.

Hope you guys all enjoy it! (Feedback would be much appreciated), first time posting a thread and all that.

[collapse=What's included?]

Assets used from the Wii U CSS thread (http://smashboards.com/threads/revenaut1313s-wii-u-styled-project-m-css.351734/), from Smash 3 (http://smashboards.com/threads/the-smash-3-project-get-ya-guts-on.340807/), some custom CSPs from SJS, of the LST. (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=8348.0)

Almost every character has had CSP's and BP replaced with fresh, nice looking ones. Usually the primary colour is in the style of the Wii U CSP, and the rest are custom. Other times I was able to find good CSPs all in the same style. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. It all looks great.

Characters replaced to look more like Wii U versions (Smash 3): Mario, Luigi, Ganondorf, Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, Ike, Ness, Fox (Brawl textures, Melee ones are still there), Falco, G&W, Meta Knight, Pikachu, Sheik, Toon Link, Olimar.

In addition Link and Yoshi have been changed to look more like Wii U versions with other textures.
(Please see picture for Red Link CSP, all his other colours look like that, with the OOT Links being swapped for Fierce Diety, Magic Armour, and Zora Armour costumes).

Additional retextures include a full Marth for Lucina swap out
Pink Zelda is Skyloft version (down B = neutral B, no transformations)
Plus fierce deity Sheik and Zelda
Samus has new costumes for EVERY colour. She's the one character I've completely updated, and I'm pretty happy with it.
Mega Charizard X and Shiny Mega Charizard Y over green and blue respectively.
Mega Lucario, plus a special Black and White texture (Ninja, and Venom)
Minish Cap Toon Link
Excalibur Sonic over Green
Falco textures over the coloured 'Melee' costumes - Cardinal over red, Seagull over blue, and Minty over green.
Raichu over one Pikachu (no CSP)
and Zero Suit Samus has been completely replaced with SJS's ZSS ver 2.0
Quickdraw Dedede and Metaknight

Yoshi has been cleaned up and made slightly more colourful.
I believe there are a few more replacements, but can't remember everything right now lol

The striked out features are not currently included in this new build.
It is honestly more of a halfway build. I hope I'll get the chance to completely update my build after Dec 16.
[/collapse]

Also replaced the main theme with this song: https://app.box.com/s/8fuvzzfyb64uxrdqh4hol8hrev80aqhz
BRSTM here: https://app.box.com/s/ql4hhktomrhi59zxce6m

There may be more that I missed, but in either case there are tons of new visual updates in this that will hopefully keep Project M feeling fresh, and looking nicer and more colourful.

pretty cool. Did you change any stages or anything like that?
Nah, no stage changes so far. Only CSS, CSPs, BPs, stock icons, and textures.
I do have issues with stock icons though. Sometimes (on the victory screen for example) I'll only see the original textures icon, not the one I replaced it with. I haven't tested to see when this happens, I only know it does.

Do you plan to keep this updated with the Smash 3 project? Also, have you added any changes for Samus as well as added any new alternate outfits?

I plan to update it, and add Samus costumes, among others. I'm hoping to start replacing music, but haven't been able to get BRSTM converter running properly. Anyways, starting to get busy with school but hopefully I'll have a new download link up soon (ish).

"The file you're looking for has been moved or deleted"

This looks awesome, but this pops up when I try and download!

Also, in game it looks like Lucina's name is Marth? Was that intentional?

Ah sorry. Idk why but my backup of the files won't run on my Wii, so I'm going to remake the package from scratch (with even more skins). I'll try to have it up by Tuesday evening. Also I never looked into getting that name replaced(I honestly only noticed it once). Not 100% how it's done, a any ideas?

Nah, I'm not sure how to go about it. It wouldn't really bother me though. I have a mac which is terrible for editing project m, and I'm looking forward to using your build as it is very similar to what I would make mine look like (Codex's is cool too, I'll also use his once it is released).

Anyways, might I suggest some skins?

Smash 3 also just updated with 3 new characters yesterday here if it helps

I'm sure whatever you decide on will be cool though, is there any way I can help?

It's going, I'm pretty busy with midterms, lab work etc, so I'm adding characters (and a few musics as well) but I haven't been home enough to test etc. Once I get most of it added I'll upload it to box and share a link that you can access it from, check back by the end of the weekend (latest) and it should be done by then. Before that if you see a notification from me on this thread then you can expect something :)

Just found out about this and I got super excited to download it but just found out that the file is missing..? I hope everything is alright, and if anyone has a mirror or if you, Mr. Darknut, have it finished, I'd be very appreciative.

Yeah sorry for the delay :) Life isn't giving me much time. I was getting freezing issues and wasn't able to fully fix them, so I've basically delayed uploading it. Hopefully I'll get it fixed relatively (maybe within this week) soon and have it up.

I wasn't able to fix all the CSPs without freezing, and I haven't updated to 3.5...
Life has been really busy. Regardless, I'll update with new links by tonight.

Woo random update, I have a fully operational 3.5 build. Dropbox sucks (storage limitations) but thanks to Box and LG (50gb free with an LG phone, or you can make a free account with 10gb storage. Box is pretty awesome), I now have tons of cloud storage. Anyways, I never got around to adding ALL the CSPs and stuff I wanted, but I have done a bunch of texture replacements, and the CSS (might look slightly different from what is shown in OP, such as the the default text instead of the wacky one I had in the pictures, and a few missing CSPs), but it works! It looks nice, and it sounds great too. Main theme has been replaced with aLIEz (instrumental) from Aldnoah.Zero. Links below. Bumping song.

If anyone who has played/downloaded can give suggestions/let me know of any issues that would be much appreciated.

I'm having trouble getting this to work...is there something I should be doing with the loose boot.elf sitting outside the folders?
Forgive me for my newbie-ness.
