How to apply a palette using BBCFIM?

Hi. In this little tutorial we'll tell you how to actually use these weird .hpl files and what to do with them when you download most of the new palettes nowadays. Before, most of the older palettes had a .pac file extension meaning that they were already packed and you only had to basically replace the existing files inside your game folder, but that is very obsolete as you'll be limited with each character's own custom palettes and that's no good.With the help of KoviDomi and his awesome mod,, he was able to make this palette customization thing a bit more simple. So, what do we need? Pretty much just the mod itself and some managing around the folders.Make sure you actually have the mod installed. To install it, download it from the links below, then extract everything that's inside, including the README.txt which also describes how to make this work, you should also read it just in case.Now that you have copied everything inside the BlazBlue Centralfiction folder, time to launch it. You should see a menu indicating that it indeed works. Upon launching the game with the mod it'll create a "manus.ini" file and a folder called "BBCF_IM" which is basically where you're going to be putting most of your palettes in. Of course, you should also check out the "settings.ini" file to tinker with everything that's necessary in order to play comfortably in your case.So after all the preparations, it's time to get some palettes going. For this example, I'll be installing Danganronpa's Makoto palette for Naoto Kurogane. Most palettes have effects along with the base palette, each effect file represents their effect index and you shouldn't need to rename anything, but do keep that in mind. So, in this case it's very simple, just copy the downloaded files and chuck them inside the "Naoto" folder inside the "BBCF_IM" and you're pretty much good to go. Now launch the game, go in-game (training or other mode), in the dropdown menu select your newly installed palette (which will take the effects into consideration if named properly). Boom!
