costumes in foundry

Okay, I'm sure this has been discussed a hundred times by now but forgive my Foundry newbness. If I have two separate foundry projects, is it possible to move custom costumes from one to the other? For instance, if making a sequel to your project, can you transfer the main characters over or do you have to re-create them? Thanks for any help and I apologize if this has been brought up before.

We used to be able to do this using the Costume Import feature (which allowed you to save a costume to your computer and then import it into another project) but the feature was removed in Legacy of Romulus because it had bugs. Until/unless they bring it back, you'll have to recreate the costume manually.

There's also the approach of screenshotting the sliders and other settings.

MWAHAHAAH!!!!

Ok, several are out of date, and some of them use costume options you can't do in Foundry, but.... it's the concept that I'm here to demonstrate.

Yet another thing you can do is Import Project, which basically duplicates your entire mission. You then dismantle the storyboard and delete unwanted maps and costumes, leaving only the ones you want to reuse.

Better still, if you're planning a multi-mission series you can create a "template" mission with no storyboard at all, just a bunch of maps and costumes, then import your template multiple times to create identical projects, which you would then develop individually into each mission.

Before the costume import was pulled, I imported every costume I could think of into a template mission. As a result, I have a couple costumes you can't get anymore.
