How do you tell which Skins you're replacing?

[OptimusRhymez]

When looking at the Fitx0y.pcs, how can you tell which file represents which skin. There doesn't seem to be any consistency between the numbers and the choices in game when I try and find a pattern. Is there a list somewhere or can someone tell me how I can tell which skin I'm replacing?

Look here, you need to scroll down a bit http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/32197/t1496304-guide-to-texture-hacking/
But generally the pattern is the one shown ingame, the first one being 00 etc.

Generally (read: every time), 0 is default and 1/2/3 are red/green/blue respectively.

Here's a full list, although they use weird names for a bunch of them.

Didn't the PMBR systematize the order of the color swaps in the css?

I think that is for cBliss.

Project: M, as far as I know, still loads the character's CSP in the order of vBrawl's where some people's original skin texture is their team color for red team, blue team, or green team color scheme. I could be wrong though.

Oh yeah, I think you're right.

00 is default, 01 is red team, 02 is blue team, 03 is green team, and the remaining are other colors. However some do not have an 04, 05, and/or 06.

As for defaults as team colors, Mario, Ness, and ROB have their default as red team, and Charizard was coded to have his default as red team. Bowser, Link, Toon Link, and Luigi have their defaults as green. Sonic's default is blue team, and Marth and Squirtle were coded to have their defaults as blue team.

I always refer to this when I am unsure.

That too. Though I have a notepad file instead of having to come here every time I need it, lol.

Easiest solution: libertyernie's Costume Manager

http://www.lakora.us/brawl/costumemanager/

Just go to "Change directory", select the root folder of your hacks, and click on your character's name to be able to sort through all of their costumes per slot. You can even change CSPs, BPs, etc. from there.

EDIT: If a model doesn't show up, the CSPs and other portites will. That just means that it's a costume from the base game.

This. The tool is useful, although I've found it to be inconsistent with Wario.

Wario is backwards, but I use that tool all the time. There is also one for stages and songs. You can find links here
