Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Character Color Replacement Guide

Decrypting your files:
Something to do before doing ANYTHING is decrypting your Persona files.
1.) Open up Persona 4 Arena Ultimax's Root Folder: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\P4U2
2.) Open up a new window tap of the GeoArcSysAIOCLITool Folder
2a.) Go to GeoArcSysAIOCLITool\Batch\Crypt\Game
3.) Drag "asset" onto "GeoArcSysAIOCLITool - Crypt - P4U2.bat"
4.) It will take a good minute, but after everything has been decrypted, you should have a new folder
in your "asset" folder named "data". Open it.
4a.) Find the "char" folder and the "etc" located in "data", otherwise known as: "data\char" and "data\etc"
respectively
4b.) Feel free to delete every Folder besides the "char" Folder and "etc" Folder. This is all you'll need
(unless you're modifying anything else such as sound. See my other guide: • Persona 4 Arena Ultima... )
4b1.) Back up the "char" folder and the "etc" folder
4b2.) The only file you'll need in the "etc" folder is "chsldotv.pac"
5.) You should be all set to start the process. Keep these tabs open, also keep your "asset" tab open as well.
Modifying Colors:
1.) Open PalMod.exe
2.) Press the "File" button at the top left
2a.) Hover to "Load Directory", hover over to "Persona 4 Arena Ultimax" and click "Persona 4 Arena
Ultimax (Steam)"
2b.) Navigate to where your copy of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is installed and select the "asset" folder
3.) A picture of Aigis should open up in the preview window if everything went correctly
4.) From here, you can modify the colors of Characters, Persona's, and some of their visual effects.
5.) Whatever you modify for one character, make sure you modify their character select variant as well
6.) Save and close PalMod when you're done.
Importing Colors into the Game:
1.) Open up the "asset" folder where your "data" folder is located
2.) Drag "data" onto "GeoArcSysAIOCLITool - Crypt - P4U2.bat"
3.) Go into your "data" folder, you should have 23 files that appear to be text and numbers. Move those
into "asset". You'll know you've done it right if you're prompted to replace some files.
4.) Go into the game, your colors should appear on the character select screen properly if you have
modified the Character Select files as well.
Exporting the Colors as Index Images for Sharing Purposes:
1.) In PalMod, go to the "Preview Window"
2.) Click "File" in the Top Left
3.) Click "Export Image" and select which color you'll be exporting
4.) This image acts as a way to easily store your color information. You can share this or use it to
copy and paste over to your Character Select variants of Colors.

is it possible for you to make a tutorial for making a Persona 4 Ultimax palette mod for Reloaded II?

[@UltraSnance]

Yessir

[@parasitone0814]

Okay question, does this work with the uh switch port? I'm trying to mod palettes with layeredfs and I don't know it is the same process, still I'll try it this way and hopefully it does go well, very cool tutorial

[@JeanS1000100]

Let me know how it goes. I believe you should be able to Decrypt the Switch files but they might not be structured the same way as the Steam vers

[@parasitone0814]

@@JeanS1000100 I mean I did try (unsuccessfully) once because I didn't know how it worked, I'll give it a try and inform you if you wanna make a video about it

[@parasitone0814]

​@@JeanS1000100 okay so I did the dumping and all but it seems that the files can't load due to their size being different is there anything you'd recommend for this?

[@JeanS1000100]

@@parasitone0814 I wish I had some idea, but if that's the case then PalMod might not have support for the Switch Files
