Thanks to Suupaboo you can now edit the colors of every characters in MvC2. Follow this little guide if you wish to create different colored MvC2 characters. Download and unzip Suupaboo’s program: PalMod
Now you must gather up all of the MvC2 character files and copy them to your computer. The files are in the format: “PL2A_DAT.BIN” and so on(PL2A would be Storm). Click to view the complete list of character file names: list.txt
Once you have your character files copied it’s now time to begin editing colors.
Load up the character file within PalMod and click preview to be able to view your changes as you work.
You will see in the lower left part of the program that under the character name there is a drop-down menu with different options. The first 6 options(LP,LK,HP,HK,A1,A2) are for each button for when you choose your character. The other (Extra – 01) and so on are additional action palettes for some characters that can be edited to. You’ll notice when you play that the edited color you play with reverts back to the original palette during some actions(ex: If you edit a mainly blue character and make him red, you might see some blue effects when that characters does certain moves). This is because those (Extra – 01) options are used with the first 6 options to make the color effects of moves.
Now just click on a color in the palette window and begin editing the colors. You can input ARGB values if you know exactly what color you want. Or you can start editing the HSL(Hue, Saturation,Luminance) until you get color you want.
After you have finished selecting the colors you want click APPLY and save your character file by clicking “File – Patch”.
You can follow Eidrian’s guide for how to edit the extra color palettes.
