The palette editor is a tool for SWR and Soku which allows you to modify the palette data of characters' in-game sprites. This can be done by either editing the color yourself or applying pre-made palette data. Here's a quick instruction on how to get it working.

Creating palettes[]

  • 1. Download the palette editor for SWR 1.06 or Soku 1.03
  • 2. Unzip the file and run 緋色.exe. You may need to change the language setting to Japanese or use Applocale if you get an error message or a "Black Reimu" (You'll know it when you see it).
  • 3. When the program prompts you to select a path, choose SWR's installation directory.
  • 4. Go to ファイル(F) -> 新規作成(N) and choose the character to create palette for.
  • 5. Begin editing by clicking an area within the sprite to edit and using the palette tools on the right side. Left/right changes between sprites while up/down is used to zoom.
  • 6. Go to ファイル(F) -> 名前を付けて保存(A) to save the palette.

Applying the palettes to in-game sprites[]

Note: You need to have either .Net Framework 1.1 or above installed or have msvcr71.dll (included in zip) in your system folder.

  • 1. Put all your palettes to a directory of your choice.
  • 2. Go to パレットリスト(L) -> 参照フォルダ設定(S) and select the directory you chose above.
  • 3. (SWR ONLY) From the list of palettes at the bottom, highlight the file of your choice and press any number from 1 to 9 to assign a key. Up to 9 palettes can be used for each character.
  • 3. (SOKU ONLY) Press the spacebar to "set" the palettes you want to use.
  • 4. With the palette editor still running, launch SWR/Soku. This will hide the palette editor window.
  • 5. From character select screen, press the assigned key number for SWR (Ctrl+assigned key in case of 2P) before selecting a character to use the desired palette This has to be done after every match if you want to continue using the palette. Press 0 to return palette selection to default. For Soku, you can just cycle through the palettes until you find your own.

Finding premade palettes[]

Not very many palette sites are known at this time. Contributions are welcome.
