- COWCASTER CUSTOM PALETTE SUPPORT

As of CowCaster v1.5, released 07/10/09, custom color palettes are now supported in netplay!
Any palettes you set or create will be sent to the other player when you select them.
Please try not to use ones that interfere with gameplay.

As of CowCaster v1.7, released 07/11/26, it now includes a default set that fills all of the slots.
Simply copy it along with the rest of Caster.

See the included palette directory for credits information and whatnot.

- HOW DO I SELECT CUSTOM PALETTES?

When in the character select screen, hold up or down when pressing A or D to select your character.
The inputs line up to these colors:

    Up+A / 8A : color 1
    Up+D / 8D : color 2
  Down+A / 2A : color 3
  Down+D / 2D : color 4

- HOW DO I MAKE MY OWN PALETTES?

Should have all that you need.

IMPORTANT: Custom colors edited directly into th075.dat and th075b.dat will NOT be transferred.
It is recommended that you leave those alone unless you really want them to be different normally.

- HOW DO I GET COWCASTER TO RECOGNIZE MY PALETTES?

Create a folder named "palette" in the directory that contains th075.exe and CowCaster.exe.
Then, simply save your custom colors in there in the following naming scheme:

Character-n.pal , where n is the number of the color from 1 to 4.

Examples:
  palette\Reimu-1.pal
  palette\Marisa-3.pal
  palette\Sakuya-2.pal
  palette\Alice-1.pal
  palette\Youmu-2.pal
  palette\Patchouli-4.pal
  palette\Remilia-1.pal
  palette\Yuyuko-3.pal
  palette\Yukari-2.pal
  palette\Suika-4.pal
  palette\Meiling-1.pal

And so forth. There are four color slots for each character, so a maximum of 44 additional color
slots have been added with CowCaster.

- GOOD LORD, THE OTHER GUY'S COLORS ARE HIDEOUS, HOW DO I TURN THEM OFF?

There are two options. One is to set processRemotePalettes to 1 or 2 in config_caster.ini, the other is
to press the ' key while on the character select screen to cycle processRemotePalettes.
This key is configurable in the [KEYBIND] section of config_caster.ini

- WOW, THE OTHER GUY'S COLORS ARE COOL, HOW DO I SAVE THEM?

Press ' while in a match. This key is configurable in the [KEYBIND] section of config_caster.ini


- HOW DO I VIEW THESE IN REPLAYS?

You don't, unless you edit them into th075.dat or th075b.dat. Sorry. This may change in a later release.
