Welcome! This guide is going to teach you how to import your old colors from BBCT, BBCSE or even the new colors from BBCF.

Don't believe that it works? Here are some images demostrating these colors in action!
(NOTE: All images were taken for the sole purpose of this guide. In no way do these images demonstrate my skill at the game)

First off, you are requried to own the following.

• The Steam Version of BlazBlue: Chronophantasma Extend
  
• (Optional) The Steam Version of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and/or BlazBlue Continuum Shift
  
• A functional computer to run BlazBlue: Chronophantasma Extend for Steam
  
• (Optional) A backup of the BlazBlue: Chronophantasma Extend files
  
• (Optional) A USB Steam compatable game controller

Once you finally realized I just wasted time of your life, you're gonna wanna go into wherever your Steam game files (the one for the game, not the backup) are located. For most users, it should be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common


Or you can just follow these links for each game's color files:
NOTE: These are the ONLY files that will work in Hipster for creating your own custom color sets. All of the Steam versions of these files WILL NOT work (Except for CF's Steam Files). The reason for this is currently unknown.

Fix for Celica's effects: (This goes in the same folder as palettes)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fge5pbudiqbmkav/char_ce_vri.pac?dl=0

NOTE: Sadly the BBCF palettes are from Arcade Version 1.20.00 (the version on consoles is 1.30.00). That means colors 2-12 are the only colors that will the modified. However, Colors 13-22 will still be usable and will work fine.

Once you are there, go into the BlazBlue game folder with the character color you wish to have in BBCP, once inside select the "data" folder and find the "Char" folder. Inside, locate the character you wish to change the colors for. For each character, it should be:

char_rg_pal.pac = Ragna
char_jn_pal.pac = Jin
char_no_pal.pac = Noel
char_rc_pal.pac = Rachel
char_tk_pal.pac = Taokaka
char_tg_pal.pac = Tager
char_lc_pal.pac = Litchi
char_ar_pal.pac = Arakune
char_bn_pal.pac = Bang
char_ca_pal.pac = Carl
char_ha_pal.pac = Hakumen
char_ny_pal.pac = Nu-13
char_tb_pal.pac = Tsubaki
char_hz_pal.pac = Hazama
char_mu_pal.pac = Mu-12
char_mk_pal.pac = Makoto
char_vh_pal.pac = Valkenhayn
char_pt_pal.pac = Platinum
char_rl_pal.pac = Relius
char_am_pal.pac = Amane
char_az_pal.pac = Azrael
char_bl_pal.pac = Bullet
char_iz_pal.pac = Izayoi
char_kk_pal.pac = Kokonoe
char_kg_pal.pac = Kagura
char_tm_pal.pac = Terumi
char_ce_pal.pac = Celica
char_old_ny_pal.pac = Lambda (or char_rm_pal.pac)


After selecting the character palette file you wish to change, go back to your Steam apps folder and select the "BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend" folder, then the "data" folder, then select the "char_e" folder, then paste the file in there (and replace if asked).

After you followed those steps, congratulations! You have just imported your old (or new) BlazBlue colors into BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend!

WARNING: If you import your CT, CSE or CF colors into CPEX, you CANNOT access colors 23 or 24.

NOTE: These colors will be visible only to you unless the opponent changes their colors too. For example, if you are using Ragna's famous Gintoki Color from BBCSE but your opponent hasn't changed any of the color files, it will appear as if you are wearing the Ichigo Ragna color to them.

If you aren't satisfied with what we have to offer, we figured out this method for changing individual colors. It's a little complicated but nothing too crazy, in order to do this you need:

• A copy of the char_[name]_pal.pac file for your desired character you want the colors from.
  
• A copy of the original palette file from CPEX.
  
• A program for ripping the individual palettes called Hipster found Here.[mugenguild.com]

Once you have all that, we can begin changing our colors.

NOTE: Currently we found no way to replace colors with CT colors, only CS, CP and CF
UPDATE: As of the April 23, CT Colors have been uploaded, the Hipster compatable files are now the files that can be downloaded from the Changing the Colors Section

Step One: Extracting the palettes.

For this step, you have to open Hipster, and select the option explore from the File dropdown menu, then select the palette file you want the colors from. A window should pop up showing you all the palettes.

Now, for every palette you have to add +1, so 0 is palette 1, 01 is palette 2 and so on. I also should mention that you only need to extract files ending in 00, because palettes ending in 01 and up are for effects, most of them don't need to be changed (though Noel's may need to be changed due to her bullets being different colors depending on the palette).

Now, when you are done choosing which one you want, you right click the desired palette and click extract.

Step Two: Replacing the palettes.

This step is really easy, simply open your CPEX Palette file using the explore option, now you should see the same window as before.
Now you should click what palette you want to change, then right click and click replace, then choose the palette which you previously extraced and click OK, and a window should popup with a warning, just click OK.

And that's pretty much it, if you did everything right you should see your palette in the game. We haven't tested all the palettes and is most likely that they have the same bugs as having them together. If anyone finds a bug be sure to notify us in the comment section.
