Modding

[mint snow]

if anyone knows how to actually add gear options lmk. Right now I can only figure out how to alter existing options

[mint snow]

I see

[tacit flame]

would a 3rd person view mod be possible?

[tame cedar]

Does changing an ikran name need a mod? Because I am trying to find a way to do so.

[livid geyser]

I was wondering if it is possible to set it so that the music plays more frequently? Game can be sometimes eerily quiet. Not sure if it is a bug or for immersion purposes.

[lunar agate]

i am impressed

[pine oracle]

i dont suppose you could help me for a sec 😭 🙏 im just testin out recolouring existing items in the game and i cannot for the life of me get it to show up in game (not generating mipmaps as u said above), do we know if theres a specific thing in the settings we save it as (still dds but i got a whole ah list which idk if they're relevant or not?)

[mint snow]

I've been using BC2 (linear, dxt3) in order for transparency to work

Are you putting the dds in the correct file path?

[pine oracle]

that gets it to show up in game, tysm!! but now im gettin an error w the texture itself 😭 kinda llooks sparkly

[mint snow]

Shot in the dark but try turning error dithering or whatever it's called off if it isn't already?

DM me the file too if you want. I could take a look too if you're not making progress

[pine oracle]

just tried it, still looks funky 😭

[pine oracle]

you're a SAINT💙

[mint snow]

Oh wait, maybe if you saved it as bc1 originally it got messed up
I had to redo my textures because of that

[pine oracle]

oh fr? ill redo it

[pallid sandal]

Whats the 1st one

[pine oracle]

yeah i figured it out just after, tysm😭 🙏

[mint snow]

Some Kame'tire top that we can't get

[pallid sandal]

WHYY

[mint snow]

that's why I'm doing this ;)

[pallid sandal]

I play on ps5 tho 💀

sad days

[nimble cedar]

Based SquareZeb

[random sentinel]

I’m on PS5, but I just want to know if it’s possible to have Etuwa’s headband for the player by modding.

[mint snow]

oh ho ho
it appears I have successfully done away with a certain widely disliked function of cosmetic headgear

[pallid sandal]

Whats ur face code combo?

[mint snow]

changed a juice file and now they all appear with your chosen hairstyle. Changing place misbehaves a bit if you change it while wearing one though, but re-equipping it fixes it

[pallid sandal]

She looks better in game than in the editor

[random sentinel]

True l blame the lighting inside the changing place

[pallid sandal]

Look at my dude, the lighting in game is so much better

He looks uncanny 💀

[random sentinel]

My first thought but maybe it’s just a bad angle💀

[pallid sandal]

LMAO

[pine oracle]

For anyone that wants to learn how themselves

https://www.reddit.com/r/AvatarFrontierPandora/comments/1ggfvw3/how_to_mod_custom_ikran_skins/

[tacit flame]

do you think with the new modloader we would have the ability to make a 3rd person view mod?

[chilly anchor]

thanks!

[pallid sandal]

Is it possible on ps5

[pine oracle]

@stone dew I'm gna show you here so others can use it too if they want 🙏

First you wanna get the modloader, it does have instructions on it but if you have any problems lmk

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/20

After you've installed that, download the file of the modded top (it's the ubisoft forest guardian outfit recoloured, so you do need that)

here is the file

you want to put that into your ubisoft game files, following this path (might be slightly different if youre on steam)

just make sure all of the folders are the exact same or it wont work

after you've dumped it in that textures folder it'll work, you can start the game as normal

Top in question for anyone interested

[stone dew]

Didn't work. But I don't have an AFOP folder in games, I created the path, but maybe thats the problem.

[pine oracle]

it should already be there?

hmm search your pc for the AFOP folder

[stone dew]

oh wait

i'm dumb

it did this

So what is wrong?

[pine oracle]

the only difference i see is the pad things, which were a mod made by casocki

[stone dew]

that's what I meant by ugly texture 😄

[pine oracle]

ohhh

[stone dew]

top is nice but useless because it's too revealing 😄

Well, if that texture wasn't so ugly 😭

[pine oracle]

i dont wanna send the mod w/out asking them, just in case yk 😭

[stone dew]

ok, no problem. You can send me later if they are ok with it.

[mint snow]

Someone already asked 0_o
If anyone was wondering why comments on that one are off..

[mint snow]

Nah go ahead friend
It's there to share

[stone dew]

Thanks.

[stone dew]

That's funny, because we don't even know how they look down there

[stone dew]

I know 🙂

[livid geyser]

thanks a lot for the guide 🙂 if you don't mind me asking, I ran into an issue where it seems that the head colors don't match with body? There is this weird transition. I'm guessing that the color 10 on body is not the same as color 10 on head?

[pine oracle]

Yeah that’s right, some colours match up but others don’t, it’s weird, just smth you have to play around with 😭🙏

[livid geyser]

good to know ! just a matter of trial and error 🙂

[pine oracle]

unfortunately

[stone dew]

Love your mod. She is much more beautiful now. Thank you

[mint snow]

mine are on nexus; also the ikran skin pattern fix

[pine oracle]

why does it go black

[mint snow]

I suspect it may have to do with whether the original texture has any transparency. There's some stuff I'm dying to edit but can't because of this 😞

[pine oracle]

how do i delete models from the game :')

[pine oracle]

isnt that like £89327492847

[random sentinel]

Pretty much yeah

[pine oracle]

💀

yeah i love this game

but not that much

[random sentinel]

Thought the same

[pine oracle]

No cracks?

Say I got a free trial or smth, how do I make it work in game

[unkempt minnow]

managed to do a simple texture replacement on the first shirt you get so I could get a more movie accurate look on my na'vi, surprisingly easy with zeb's tutorials!!

next stop, figuring out how to make it its own item

[mint snow]

I will watch your career with great interest

[pine oracle]

if you figure this out, lmk how 👀

[unkempt minnow]

don't get your hopes up i have no clue what i'm doing 😭

[mint snow]

neither do I but apes together strong or whatever

[pine oracle]

losing my damn mind over this one

[mint snow]

What is it

[random sentinel]

The clipping around the chest area l guess

[still mango]

Love the movie accurate na'vi cloths!

[unkempt minnow]

thx for the tip, figured it would be something like that

I'll have to check it out in depth when i get the chance

[pine oracle]

cannot for the life of me get a script to work 😭

[jolly elm]

i cant figure out how to extract the files for the game.. i have the hunter program but i'm not sure which existing file to drop into it

nevermind found it!

[tacit flame]

how would one go about making the bioluminescent dots on the player brighter at night?

[jolly elm]

sorry if this is a silly question, but where do you put the extracted sdf files once they are exported? I don't want to mess things up by putting them in the wrong place

[pine oracle]

Sdf files ? Generally I just dump my exported files onto my desktop until I’m ready to use them in game/test them

Once ur ready to try em in game u gotta follow a specific path (u can find a big notepad download on squarezeb’s first tutorial w all the paths in)

[jolly elm]

yeah, strangely the only files i could get to work in hunter was the file labelled sdf which had basically all animations, models and images. i looked everywhere and couldn’t find the path posted in my own ubisoft folder or anywhere

[pallid sandal]

screw this

why cant i have it on ps5 😭

they should have let at least males shirtless

and i want it so bad too 😭

[pine oracle]

ohhh, go into your settings in hunter and itll show you the default path it went to

[cursive fossil]

I just want a grey skin colour mod

But its a lot of effort just for that

[cursive fossil]

Can anyone help me with something like that?

[magic harbor]

First of all, thanks for this amazing mod! Now to my problem: I have installation issues. As you wrote in the .README, i extracted everything from the .zip and draged and dropped the "blue" folder to C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\AFOP. It doesn't seem to work in-game. Did i do something wrong?

[mint snow]

Did you also get the modloader

[magic harbor]

...No... Depending on your question, i think it is necessary, right?

[mint snow]

It is

[magic harbor]

You said in you tutorial, that there could be the need to rename it. I tried all three options. Two of 'em leadet to a game crash. The dsound.dll lets the game start up, but there is no effect in game. Did i miss something. (Sry for many questions btw, i'm not food at troubleshooting for myself.)

[magic harbor]

👍 🤣

Instantly renamed it without testing it with its original name. Okay, thank you for your help. Let me just test me out "unnamed"

yessss, works now

[tacit flame]

just took a look and some raw files and it looks like there is a 3rd person view as a debug console command or something.

yeah i have no modding exp i was just seeing if it was just a simple pull back several meters with the .txt editor, ill leave it to the pros 😉

[vocal socket]

I wonder if 3rd person is or was planned for the game

[tacit flame]

it would be cool if it was

[pine oracle]

ya'll ive figured out how to mod the eye colours too now

we get heterochromia

[uncut hound]

Does anyone know if modding can happen on ps5 as I too want to mod my game but I play only on PlayStation or would that not be possible ?

[vocal socket]

Awesome

[cerulean fossil]

Not possible you would need to jailbreak it. Mods require certain programs to download on PC and a lot of looking through game code/files to manipulate/replace things.

[restive sable]

Can anyone make a mod to take the tops off for the male ?

[uncut hound]

Darn it I had a feeling it would not be possible but I still had to ask thank you

[mint snow]

It's super easy if you're willing to sacrifice an existing piece of clothing. One of our goals is to add new items though

[restive sable]

I mean ye I wouldn't mind it anyway to keep like some items on from it eg for the battle of Hallelujah mountains set with the upper body piece to keep like the bracelets on the arm and neck

[tacit flame]

do you think theres a way to mix hairstyles?

[pine oracle]

be careful when making custom bio patterns

[radiant wing]

I can't wait to see more mods coming for this game : D

[mint snow]

I could use some nice stake raising
bases were thrilling until I got the hang of things

I suppose there's a first time for everything

[stone dew]

This is not the way

[tacit flame]

does the game have lazers?

[pine oracle]

what kind of lasers 👀

like i get a beam to shoot people down with or-

[solar basin]

used the recoloring mod guide to make a seze skin :)

[pine oracle]

LOVE this!!!!

[tacit flame]

in the game theres some models that share the same texture is there a way to split them somehow?

[restive sable]

Maybe a big request idk me myself im a bit stupid never actually been able to mod or make stuff but I thought id come in here and ask if anyone would do me a favour and get rid off that vest so its just the neck and arm bracelets that stay

[mint snow]

You're never gonna believe what I already did

[restive sable]

u already done it ?

[mint snow]

Yea like a few weeks ago. I can send you the zip. Might redo it though because there's a little speck I cannot find to erase

[restive sable]

please do send it lol is the speck noticable tho or nah

[mint snow]

Propably not in photo mode but it's on the front of the body and I definitely do look at it in the menu

I'll just redo it first. Should go quick; I already have a template, I just need to Be Better

Do you want the green arm part?

[restive sable]

I mean nah I dont but

its ur stuff so do what u want

[mint snow]

No that's perfect
It's how I made it already

[restive sable]

oh good lol I just want it all navi

[river hornet]

ooh would you mind sending me a zip as well? ^^

[radiant wing]

I am interested in it too if you want to share, I would be really happy about it 😄

[magic harbor]

Is it possible to edit map files? My plan is to fill the Hydro-Oil-Extractor Charli with all four Lieutenants plus ||Mercer's and Harding's Amp||. It would be very cool if some one in here knows a way to edit/locate map areas

[mint snow]

Just start investigating, I think. Most everything is new territory

[magic harbor]

So i should just search the map file for the base and replace some enemies spawning there? Gotcha!

[magic harbor]

Ummm...
I tried to let spawn in Lt.Price on longbow arrow inpact.
I edited the hiteffect variable in the the bows weapon config.
Now, i can't equip the biw anymore.
Did i miss to edit something else wich has dependencies with the config?

[solar basin]

and now a bob!

[pine oracle]

I love them!!!😭💙

[pine oracle]

👀

lemme have a look

[pine oracle]

tysm, ill have a lil look around and see if i can figure it out

[gaunt cave]

I was just wondering if mods would work on Xbox? And if so, if anyone knew any mods + how I can add them

[magic harbor]

Hey, dude, sorry.
Mod's don't support consoles...
It would be technicaly possible to work, but you would need to jailbreak your xbox. I don't know how to do that, so sadly, i can't help you...

[pallid sandal]

Is this also available on ps5 ?

[tacit flame]

has anyone found out how to make the bioluminescence brighter for the player?

[pine oracle]

I’ve tried to make it brighter, but the spots only seem to get bigger, then turn into stars 😬😬

[gaunt cave]

Ah. Alright thanks man

[tacit flame]

hmm have you found what juice file controls the light emission?

in game it seems the light only turns on in shadow so if we could somehow make it be on all the time that might look better

even at night they dont seem to light up

[pine oracle]

ive looked through juice files (but i might jsut be blind) im having a look through shader files now too

[tacit flame]

can we edit shader files?

[pine oracle]

im def having a go

[tacit flame]

👍

[pine oracle]

took a break from looking through shader files a while ago but while messing around w bio patterns, this looks slightly better?? idk (edited head, body is base game)

also night

[tacit flame]

whad you do to make it brighter?

[pine oracle]

Used pure white spots in the dds instead of the default grey, that’s the only thing I can think of, they may also be SLIGHTLY larger I’m not sure

[tacit flame]

how hard was that?

[pine oracle]

It was pretty easy, hardest part was figuring out the pattern I wanted lol

[unkempt minnow]

hey! mind sending me the zip as well?

[urban quarry]

kindly asking, are you able to share the file for your chest piece? asking for a friend C_C

[jolly elm]

OMG Neytiri's chest piece from TWOW! that looks amazing, would u be willing to share the zip? 💙

[tacit flame]

i found some shader files for biolumineces but not sure they can do anything

only a few of these can be opened with a text editor

[pine oracle]

Tried these and nothing seemed to change, but I’ll probably try again at some point

[pine oracle]

Of course 💙

[pine oracle]

[pine oracle]

managed to get my stuff onto nexus for those who also want em

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/33

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/32

[subtle nova]

Thanks for everyone putting the mods on nexus 💙

So excited for more clothes!

Has anyone taken a look at hairs?

[subtle nova]

Are you planning to post your ikran recolors on nexus?

[solar basin]

yes! however after i installed a patch for the messed up ikran colors seze's skin got quite a bit warped so i'm still experimenting to see if i can make it look better. my main issue is keeping the lower beak that bright orange without turning the top of her head the same color, but so far i think i'll just have to turn everything a bit more yellow.

here's the before vs what i'm currently working with

she's just a bit more yellow overall

[subtle nova]

Still looking awesome! Excited to use it soon 💛

[subtle nova]

https://www.reddit.com/r/FrontiersOfPandora/s/ejF2Hl05Zy

Has anyone thought about modding this top?

[mint snow]

Lol I keep getting jump scared by my own content. Yeah I might give it a whirl. Feather physics will not be there though

[subtle nova]

Awesome!!! I've loved this post since I first saw it

[subtle nova]

Does anyone know if the ikran recolor trick works with the cosmetic override skins?

[solar basin]

published the ikran recolors! have fun and let me know if there are any problems :) https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/35?tab=images

[supple marlin]

Ok i feel so stupid now but did Jake really name his ikran Bob

[vocal socket]

yep

i would too tbh

best name in the history of earth

[pine oracle]

ADORE the seze one 💙

[signal reef]

Any chance we could make the stuff on the legs purple? 💜

[pine oracle]

definitely!! ill do it in a little bit 👀 (i've made mine green )

[signal reef]

Awesome!!! Making my dreams come true! 🤣

[pine oracle]

is this a good purple before i go and edit the waist leg parts 👀

[signal reef]

Oh yes definitely 💜

[pine oracle]

any other parts you want changing?

[signal reef]

I think just making that purple is perfect!!

[pine oracle]

all done

[signal reef]

It looks gorgeous I love it so much 😍

[pine oracle]

here you go, just unzip and paste it into the blue folder 💙

[signal reef]

Thank you so much for real 💜💜💜💜💜

[pine oracle]

no worries

[pine oracle]

has anyone figured out models yet, this is driving me mad

[vocal socket]

would it be possible to replace the stormglider with a Leonopteryx?

leonopteryx is toruk btw

[tacit flame]

speaking of toruk im working on a toruk ikran skin.

[vocal socket]

yoo looking forward to seeing it

[pine oracle]

its probably possible to recolour it to a Toruk pattern atm

[mint snow]

Istg it's like they saved some of their models with wrong alpha settings or something

[pine oracle]

Ong I hate it

I feel like I’ve tried everything

[mint snow]

Would be in line with the folder I found called "textrues"

[pine oracle]

omg yeah I was lookin at that one earlier

There was also another one mispelled

I forgot what it was tho

[mint snow]

All the solutions I've found are about blender

[pine oracle]

[subtle nova]

Has anyone looked at swapping npc hairstyles yet?

[mint snow]

I tried and the game got mad. I think there's a lot of files that would need to be exchanged for it to actually function

[mint snow]

I wonder how easy it would be to size up the ikran model

[pine oracle]

Yooo I also made a Toruk skin (well inspired, I struggled 😭🙏)

I’d die for a slightly bigger ikran

Our ikran look tiny compared to the movie ikrans

Imo anyway

[vocal socket]

i agree

maybe they are juveniles?

[bright ledge]

I tried following the instructions on how to edit the ikran skins but it doesn't work, Hunter just says "Error" when trying to export the file

[solar basin]

make sure to check where your files are being exported, that happened to me as well until i changed the path to my general downloads folder!

[mint snow]

@subtle nova

it does use the same top that kali used so until we figure out how to add new things you'll have access to one at a time 😅

[subtle nova]

Omg thank you so much!!

Would you allow recolors for it?

[mint snow]

ofc

[subtle nova]

Amazing thank you so much!

[mint snow]

will definitely be using this myself. It does feel satisfying to see my vision from then through

yeah I've gathered it's more involved

[subtle nova]

Lol I'll take anything in the meantime, I've been staring at the same stuff for so long

[mint snow]

and I suppose it only takes a few seconds to swap images in the folder if you want to change in-game

[bright ledge]

It doesn't even let me do that

[mint snow]

You might just want to try reinstalling Hunter. Happened to me way back when I first tried to use it and got rid of it; second time around it's been fine so far

[solar basin]

hmm yeah that and maybe verifying game files

[bright ledge]

Did that and it finally exported stuff, edited a skin and put it back in, now ingame my ikran has the standard skin and all my cosmetics are gone xD why is this stuff so unstable

[solar basin]

yeah it took a few tries for me to figure it out, but if your cosmetics and the skins vanished you should just try and delete the folder and retry again

[pine oracle]

^ verifying game files also fixes it

[jolly elm]

Is it possible to change the face presets themselves, like the actual shape and dimensions of the faces? I'm not experienced in modding Ubisoft games unfortunately

some presets are kind of hideous so im curious as to if they can be improved? maybe with a couple that look specifically feminine as opposed to androgynous

[pine oracle]

would involve changing the models them selves (which we havent figured out yet )

[jolly elm]

ahh okay, thanks for letting me know 💙

[pine oracle]

just realised i forgot to post this one here, for yall wishing for better bio spots

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/34

damn this picture shows nothing 💀

[urban quarry]

will test this for sure

[vocal socket]

i was confused for a sec lol

[pine oracle]

look at it on nexus trust 😭 🙏

[urban quarry]

i trusted 😊

that's rly good. i love it 💙

[pine oracle]

so pretty ♥

[urban quarry]

this game + your mods = eye candy xD

and i realized that i forgor how my character looks without body paints

[pine oracle]

speaking of paints

i have a few ideas for new paints

[urban quarry]

😮

[vocal socket]

can you turn your contrast up in photo mode alittle? it'll be darker so we can see better

looks amazing tho

[urban quarry]

maybe i need to test a different area

0.8 lighting, 0.5 contrast, 0.1 saturation

and my graphics glitching out 💀 ubi pls

[pine oracle]

average ubisoft

[urban quarry]

ok i got smth.

inside caves it's crazy

[pine oracle]

my favourite part is when the teeny tiny spots become visible

[urban quarry]

oh ye

i never noticed until now you sayin xD

[urban quarry]

would be still cool, if the shiny spots are as shiny in the openworld areas like it is in the caves

if you just compare these pictures here, you can clearly see the difference

[vocal socket]

absolutely amazing

i wish i was on pc now😭

[dusk siren]

Me too, im on xbox😭

[tacit flame]

does anyone have any idea of what file that controls the texture file when looking in the hunter extractor? such as both male and female tops share the same material and i only want to modify one of them.

[subtle nova]

I've been messing around with the colors, you can't do anything to the eyes right?

Maybe I've looked at this for too long but I feel like the whites in the eyes are darker than they were

[mint snow]

There are eye textures somewhere

[pine oracle]

yeah i dont think changing the skin alters the eyes at all

think it just looks darker cos of colour theory

[subtle nova]

Makes sense

I was tweaking her for hours lmao

[wooden plaza]

Guys, sorry if I'm asking a stupid question. We can mod the skin color is it?

[mint snow]

Yeah, there's an overlay component that's the same as the file I used in my mod and I think somewhere there must be the base that changes when you change tones in the changing station. Haven't personally found that part though

[glossy knoll]

Hey, is there anyone who could help me with modding and answer my questions?

1. If i download clothes am I able to change them later in game or how does it work?
2. Does modding the body or bioluminscence pattern cause some things to be slightly off? (for body specifically, if riding looks off etc)

[pine oracle]

there are also individual skin files like the ikran ones

same for the eyes etc

[pine oracle]

if you mean change to another item, yes the game stil functions as normal -or if you mean change them back to how they were or to another mod, yes you can do that, but you have to restart your game

modding the bio pattern/brightness has no effect on the models, so that one is fine but modding the body itself (such as changing the shape of the model) might make things look a bit clunky

[glossy knoll]

1. I meant if it will be showcased as a selectable piece of clothing whenever I choose to change it (such as modded sims if you know what I mean. It is always there and you can always swap it to something different and then back)

and second one thank you lots :)

[pine oracle]

things will always show as a selectable cosmetic yeah (as long as you have them unlocked already ofc)

[glossy knoll]

That’s good then, thank you. Once i figure out how to mod stuff ill download LOADS of clothes because what is in the game rn is just… well not good

[pine oracle]

so real 😭

[restive sable]

Idk if there is a way to make new things yet but the thing that goes bellow ur chest on ur stomach is something I’d hope someone makes when it’s possible

[mint snow]

If anyone can find the control for breath holding underwater, I'm interested. Tried a bunch of words and the file evades me still

[mint snow]

lol I tried to increase a timer that definitely did not have anything to do with fall damage and the result was my character screaming in terror constantly + zero fall damage

I feel like whenever I modify any portion of a juice, it results in the entire thing not working. I changed a single duration and I'm not taking fall or drowning damage. Same sort of thing with my cosmetic hair mod; the whole thing acts like it's not there after I remove one entry

[pine oracle]

Yeah I tried editing a juice for a faster ikran, game proceeded to not even let me call for my ikran

[pine oracle]

I’ve been thinking about this for DAYS

[subtle nova]

which texture does the game use for our characters faces?

I thought it was cus_92 but nothing happens when I change it

[pine oracle]

any of the ones w cus_ are actual characters in story

gimme one sec and ill find our char

[subtle nova]

Thank you so much

[pine oracle]

is it the stripes or the skin details u want

or skin colour

[subtle nova]

I want to change the face shape if that's possible

Like eye shape and stuff

[pine oracle]

ah the models?

[subtle nova]

Yeah

I have the texture for it but I'm not sure if it works that way

[pine oracle]

yeah nah, to reshape stuff u gotta edit the models themselves

which needs to be done in the maya program bc the files need to be an mmb (maya only file)

then i might just be stupid, but i cannot get these models to show in game, even tho they're in the right path

its weird

[subtle nova]

Yeah that makes sense, I tried just using the texture file to see what happens and it's just the skin for sure

[pine oracle]

oh my god alma 😭

[subtle nova]

LMAO

It was just to see if I did it right but it was def not aligned or anything

It doesn't do what I want it to do so mission failed

[pine oracle]

im losing it over her face in the first one

she looks like she has a tache

[subtle nova]

she does 😭

[restive sable]

Eventually will happen just as it did in far cry games

Just gotta wait

[pine oracle]

i wanna make it so bad but its difficult to find a base for it

side note, too much bio?

[urban quarry]

holy shiny

✨

[still mango]

Nope. Let it glow let it glow

[pine oracle]

[glossy knoll]

HOW

iwish i could make it bore bioluminescent

more*

[mint snow]

The longer I look at it the cooler it looks. I think my vram, all 4 gb of it, would be a touch unhappy though

[glossy knoll]

hey can anyone help me with the biolumisncence modding? I am just like... dumb for this i guess? AlsooI need help with clothing, so if anyone could spare few mins I'd really appreciate that 🙏

[pine oracle]

which bio parts are you trying to mod?👀

Like the skin, terrain, wildlife etc?

[glossy knoll]

I'd like to mod clothes, bioluminsecent pattern and nature <3

[pine oracle]

Can definitely help you with those

Well I’ll try my best anyway

Those are all things I’ve tweaked

[glossy knoll]

I would appreciate it lots

I am clueless

When do you have time for this? <3

[pine oracle]

Give me like 10 mins (I just woke up 😭🙏)

[glossy knoll]

no worries, take your time :)

[inner charm]

Is there a way to change our Na'vi's skin and stripe colour and hair colour? If so what file name should I search for?

[pine oracle]

item_customization_player_skin_color (skin base & stripes)
item_customization_player_hair_color (theres 3 files for each hair colour, some 4, im not really sure why but to get it to work in game, i've had to edit them all)

[inner charm]

Alright! Ty! Wanted to try and messing around w the skin colours to see what I can get ^^

[inner charm]

Follow up question relating to skin stuff, is there anyway to like see a live edit of it or do I just gotta deal w the whole hex code value thing.

[inner charm]

cuz like when I try to change the skin colour it only does so for the stripes

[pine oracle]

are u changing both colours in the file?? its been working for me

[inner charm]

I am but it still is more of a blue hint

like I don't see much of a difference when I'm trying to change the hue, even if I say turn the stripes black they still turn up as a dark blue

[pine oracle]

ah yeah

so the blue tint will always be there

to combat it

u just gotta do a little colour theory

[inner charm]

Aight

[pine oracle]

i found adding like an orangey hue helped

[inner charm]

wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong lol

[pine oracle]

nahh ur not dw

[inner charm]

okay glad I wasn't messing anything up ^^'

[mint snow]

I think that blue hint is coming from rnf_body_01. That's what I changed to red to make my joke, and it had a blue undertone from the hex stuff.

Ig you could recolor that too if you want, but it'll turn everyone that color. Oh and the head file is separate

[pine oracle]

ooh

something you could do is recolour that white

would np'cs still have a blue tinge??

[inner charm]

Think I'll deal w it as it is. Managed to get the colour I somewhat want. Now I just gotta play w the stripes.

Trying to go for a colour similar to this (not my art something I found on Pinterest sadly didn't lead to the actual artist)

Wanted to see how the colours would look in game since the concept is pretty

[bright ledge]

Now that the modding thing is taking off I'm really hoping for someone to make the night a lil darker so that the bioluminescence stands out more

[pine oracle]

Bro

Every one is like reading my mind

I start working on something or start looking into it

Someone else also mentions it

I’ve managed to get increased bio

But making night darker is a pain in the ass😭

[lone quail]

There is a mod with increased bio but the bio markings get bigger as well which I am not a big fan of I would only like the spots to be brighter

[dry summit]

[wooden plaza]

i felt we are a steps closer to a world of Pandora with fan made mods which is where we can do everything we saw in the movies. I just want to make my own campfire anywhere i landed with my ikran. Just chilling and basking in the peaceful yet dangerous wild

[tacit flame]

sounds cool

[glossy knoll]

that is what i was saying, there are finally mods and we can have stuff that is in the movies, or at least very similiar

i have just few from nexus and i already love the looks of the game way more

also is there anyone who could tell me where do I put the ikran skin mod? Its my first time modding ikran

[wooden plaza]

I really love to help modding but I really don't have the skills. Hopefully someone there can help make this into reality

[inner charm]

Ty for being able to find them and linking them ^^

[glossy knoll]

same i wanted to try but just the tutorial made me realize i could not do it

[urban quarry]

no problem 🥲

[inner charm]

It's really not that hard (saying this as someone who can't code for crap lol) You just need to be able to be willing to log in and out of the game to play around I also reccomend using these two things here for the colours since some are ya know actual hex codes while some are decimals. https://www.checkyourmath.com/convert/color/hexadecimal_decimal.php
https://www.color-hex.com/

[glossy knoll]

no idea what decimals it. I wanted to try do m yown clothes re-texture but no clue how sadly

even the tutorial pinned on the start of the post didnt explain i tto me

but i have so much ideas of clothes

[inner charm]

These are colour decimals ^^

[glossy knoll]

d-amn no clue what is going on there

damn*

[inner charm]

Pasically each number line there is just a colour code.

you throw em into the conversion thingy it'll show you the colour and it's hex code

[glossy knoll]

and with that i can redesign clothes?

[inner charm]

this is me re-colouring hair atm lol

no that would probs need you to do like 3d modeling

and then somehow get those in game....I'm just focusing on Na'vi apperance atm

[glossy knoll]

cus i would LOVE to try the clothes

and for the na'vi appearance

all i want more beads in the hair

that don't give me massive forehead

[inner charm]

lol mood, but that would take editing the model and then putting it back into the game most likely

not my forte

I'm just sticking w the recolours atm

[glossy knoll]

yeah i dont even know how to properly do stuff with my pc

[inner charm]

cuz i've started a new game i'm holding off on the ikran thing until I can see which colours do what on which skins lol

thankfully re-colour isn't that bad to do

[glossy knoll]

i have seen a girl over here do some cute ikran recolors

this one got me on my knees

[inner charm]

Yep i'm excited to get to do them. Gunna try and make a piebald one the best I can seeing how we can't like...re-texture em

and oml that is GORGEOUS

[glossy knoll]

kali made guide for that

if i understood that

pink ikran would be like

100% something i would do

[inner charm]

Pfft the RDA just get taken out by pink Ikran sounds majestic

[glossy knoll]

right????

thats what i am saying

if anyone takes comissions for my pink ikran

i volunteer

[inner charm]

think i got the apperance down for my Na'vi now I just wish I could re-colour the bio 😭

[glossy knoll]

ooo show me what u did <3

[inner charm]

will do in a second lemme just do a few more tweaks here

messign w eye colour

[glossy knoll]

yes <3

[inner charm]

now gotta fix the skin since it isn't the colour i thought it was so yay colour theory XD

still fixing the skin colour, gotta play round w colour theory to get that a bit more well less green XD

[inner charm]

hah i've done it!

now to see her in game

I think it turned out well probs will change the hair later on but woooo

[inner charm]

looks a lot better with certain hair types than others

[pallid sandal]

So i was thinking, if i get figure it more out how the system is set up, maybe it could be possible to change the ikran model and/or the colors too, and it may be possible to make the leonopteryx, the problem is that it's tricky and the leonopteryx should be much larger, but that would ruin the sadlles and player position

[urban quarry]

white hair is wild tbh

[vocal socket]

Old ahh na'vi

[pine oracle]

we have already figured out the ikran colours, someone else made a toruk inspired pattern and i have too ^^

as for the size of it, ive searched every file and only managed to break the game

probably need to use maya (super expensive program, the only one that supports the file type needed for the models) to make the ikran bigger

[pallid sandal]

Oh, i didn't know that😅

[pallid sandal]

I used UABEA so far when i wanted to change somethings size, but in different games

[inner charm]

in a good way or bad way XD

[urban quarry]

definitly good. idk, it's just a haircolour that always looks good/fancy.

[inner charm]

lol alright

[subtle nova]

Here's my recolor 💛

[inner charm]

So pretty!

[subtle nova]

Thank you!!

[nimble cedar]

Bumblebee. Pretty.

[jolly elm]

wow this looks beautiful! how did you make it work?

[inner charm]

If you go into the files and look for player_skin_color
player_eye_color
player_hair_color

Those will give you the files you want to re-colour your Na'vi.

The skin is always going to have a blue tint to it so if you want a paler Na'vi use something like a light red-yellow so it will counter balance it out. What I have is the palest you can really get. If you do full on white you get a v sickly green looking colour. If you go darker tho it makes it easier as the blue tint doesn't effect it.

Eye colour just make sure your chosen eye is a vibrant colour and you need to change all four hex codes in the order they are in (it's gunna go primary secondary primary secondary. They need to match each other)

Hair wise there is 3-4 files per each hair colour. You need to alter all of them so your custom hair can match.

I'm planning on posting the mod to Nexus tomorrow.

[jolly elm]

YAY thanks so much, youre an angel! id love to edit things myself but i don't have the software for that at the moment

[inner charm]

Np!

I plan on making some other custom skins now (it's kinda fun lol)

Only downside is I haven't found how to change the bios colour

[glossy knoll]

she look majestic

i wish i could give my na'vi purple eyes can you imagine how pretty

or pink

[inner charm]

I'll be posting them tomorrow and a few other eye colours.

So you could download em off nexus

[glossy knoll]

ily ily

[inner charm]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/57/?tab=description

Here is my albino Na'vi mod! There is a pink eyed version and then the purple eyed one I use!

[lone quail]

Thank you to everyone who uploads their mods! I love this community

[dusk siren]

All the modings are very cool and beautiful! Too bad I can't add them too, I'm on Xbox. But I have a question, if you add the mods but then decide you don't want them can they be removed? Or will you always have them?🤔

[glossy knoll]

can be removed :)

[inner charm]

Just take the eye file and adjust the hex colours to your desired one!

[dusk siren]

@inner charm @glossy knoll thank you for the replies 🫶😁

[glossy knoll]

you are welcome :)

[inner charm]

No problem!

[inner charm]

I have made a melanistic Na'vi mod as well if anyone wants to use it

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/61/

Photos of the skin in game

[pine oracle]

YOOOO i finally figured it out

mama kataru's hair next

[inner charm]

omg that's so pretty

[urban quarry]

WOAH

[solar basin]

damn thats amazing!!! super exciting stuff for hair :D

[restive sable]

is that a thing that can be made or no ?

[pine oracle]

i can attempt it but no promises

[restive sable]

ok I mean bro will do a better job then me at attempting it lol

[subtle nova]

Omg I've been waiting for this!!! It's my favorite hair

[pine oracle]

fr me too!!

[pine oracle]

u have too much faith

[subtle nova]

When's the release for the fans 🙏

[pine oracle]

depends

what hairstyle do we want to sacrifice for it

im thinking the like bald one

[subtle nova]

Tbh I was thinking the bald one

Yess

[pine oracle]

thats available at the start

LMFAOO

incredible minds

[subtle nova]

I feel like it's the least used

[pine oracle]

yeah

i only use it when im looking at the back of a tshirt mod or smth

to amke it all line up

only downside is the colours dont work

[subtle nova]

If it's not too hard I'm sure you could include swapping instructions in the mod download

In case people wanna be bald

[subtle nova]

Luckily for me they're already the color I want them 🫡

[pine oracle]

yeah i only use the dark colours anyway

so

sucks to have blonde chars

does also seem to change npc's as well

so no more bald sosul

[subtle nova]

Probably have to edit the hair model itself or something

[pine oracle]

maybe

idk

ill mess it up if i do that

[subtle nova]

Honestly if it means I can be pretty I'll take their baldness away

[pine oracle]

REALLLLL

SO REAL

do we want ri'nela's hair too?

[inner charm]

Please give Ri'nela's hair

[pine oracle]

ok consider bald hairstyle gone

which one do we sacrifice next

for ri'nela's hair

and which one for kataru

[inner charm]

The weird bob

[subtle nova]

Yes omg

[pine oracle]

alr

[restive sable]

Faith is all we have in everything

[pine oracle]

dawg the bob drives me insane

changing my eye colour

wait ri'nela's hair with or without the decorations-

[subtle nova]

Maybe make options for both in the official mod

[vocal socket]

Ohh please I want Jake's dreads😭🙏🏽

[pine oracle]

if i make the normal one a default hair choice

then the decorated one a clan contribution one

even making game content

yippieeee

[subtle nova]

It's so pretty omg

[pine oracle]

the kuru disappears while flying

gotta fix

[inner charm]

So gunna have that hair when you get it all fixed

Does it change colours when the player picks a new hair colour?

[pine oracle]

good question

the solek one doesnt

ill check this one

this one doesnt either

[inner charm]

Well darn

Can't change it to white 😭

[subtle nova]

I'm literally watching this every hour

[pine oracle]

yall can blame the ikran for delay

it keeps making me bald.

[subtle nova]

Omg I was sending a screenshot of the nexus page but my internet hates me and send my message first

[pine oracle]

[subtle nova]

But yes I am also super intense waiting for the hairs

Also I have Photoshop if I can be of assistance to anyone and recolors

Not sure if it's all hex color based but if there's an image I can color it 🫡

There it goes lmao

[pine oracle]

assault rifle rework?

[solar basin]

i neeeeed. love fps

[inner charm]

For the models so far it's all either decimal colours or hex colours it seems (at least for the Ikran and Na'vi)

[pine oracle]

A lot of customisable stuff is hex colours

But Clothes can be recoloured by drawing

[inner charm]

I'm excited for when people learn how to re-rig and model stuff back into the game

[subtle nova]

does the slash need to be the other way for it to work?

[mint snow]

keep it the same as the others

[subtle nova]

Hmm

Not sure why it doesn't show up for me then 😭

[jolly elm]

does anyone know if its possible to recolor ikran saddles/gear?

[subtle nova]

I saw the textures in the game files but it's not the easy hex one, probably have to recolor it manually

I also just started looking so I could be wrong

[mint snow]

Try it flipped then

[subtle nova]

I actually don't even know how to do that lmao

[mint snow]

Does your keyboard have both slashes

[subtle nova]

But I couldn't figure out what any other differences there would be

I'll keep trying it

It goes, but I'm not sure how to make new file paths in the bar

I'll look into it and see if that's mt my issue

[mint snow]

What file are you trying to get working

[subtle nova]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/60?tab=images

I did notice that the dds file is black for me

[still mango]

Anyone modded a Jake like cumber band and knife?

[glossy knoll]

I keep checking this channel and nexus page evry 30 mins

[still mango]

Haha same. Even though I don't even have the game

[glossy knoll]

how come so

?

[still mango]

I don't have an electronic that will run the game

[glossy knoll]

ooh :/

[pine oracle]

Yes it is!!

[pine oracle]

It’s supposed to be just black bc the entire layer is erased!!

Did you get it working?

[glossy knoll]

some ikran skins sadly do not work for me no clue why

[jolly elm]

omg yay! i can’t experiment myself atm but hopefully someone else does

[pine oracle]

ive played around a lil bit

this is my ikran atm

was originally the ikran rider headgear or whatever its called

[glossy knoll]

so good omg

[inner charm]

Hey Kali you were messing w the bio stuff right? There anyway to change our Na'vi's Bio colour???

[pine oracle]

i was yeah, havent found a way to change colours yet unfortunately

[inner charm]

Darn, was hoping to try and change it for this one skin i'm trying to do

[pine oracle]

ill have a lil look now

this hair is driving me crazy

[inner charm]

XD mood

why i've just been ya know making skins

[pine oracle]

my kuru keeps disappearing when i ride smth :')

[inner charm]

the sky people really messed you up 😭

[pine oracle]

frfr

cant even bond w my ikran now

[inner charm]

how you control it is an amazing feat

maybe you are the kiri of the western frontier of Pandora XD

[pine oracle]

imagine

[inner charm]

Well figured out why there are four eye hex codes, the first colour is the inner ring of your eye, second is the outer ring. been playing more w my albino Na'vi pre-set

[pine oracle]

yeah i messed around w making some heterochromia

its pretty

[inner charm]

can have centeral heterochromia as well

trying that out to see how it looks

lol found a fellow white haired Na'vi XD

[mint snow]

ok yeah, from tmp you need to go torso\part\armor\g_tmp_torso_part_armor_t3_01\textures

and replace "vlt" in the file name with "tmp"

[pine oracle]

whoops did i do it wong

[mint snow]

ye just rename the one folder and the file and it should be good

[pine oracle]

oh isee what i did

i accidentally put in the zeswa one lol

[pine oracle]

dude i try to upload the right one and it keeps the zeswa one what-

[subtle nova]

Thank you!! I'll try it after work

[glossy knoll]

the purple skin recolor :o

it doesnt work for me tho idk why

[lyric jay]

How do you do the ikran recolors

?

[pine oracle]

you mean make them yourself or use already made ones from nexus?

[lyric jay]

both 👀

[pine oracle]

i wrote this tut here that shows how to make your own ones
https://www.reddit.com/r/FrontiersOfPandora/comments/1grrk3e/how_to_mod_custom_ikran_skins/

i think most of the skins on nexus also tell you where to download them to in their description, if you need help w anything, lmk!!! (some of the skins have a different path to save them to, the ones that came w the last dlc)

[subtle nova]

it worked! Thank you

[tawdry kindle]

reminds me of the movies, that's hope bright it got in some places!

[pine oracle]

kind of yeah, but kind of blinding all over the map 😭

[inner charm]

I feel like modding bio will get easier the longer people do mods

hopefully it'll be able to eventually be done in chunks so like certain plants glow more than others lol

[pallid sandal]

I'm so glad that it can be easily changed with hex codes and i don't need to suffer in Krita and Blender for it

[pine oracle]

yeah im gna get onto better bio for plants etc

but as far as i can see, they have to be done one by one 😭

[marsh loom]

If you have mods dose it stop you from playing coop? Mostly just want to know if the two better bioluminescence mods well stop me from playing with my friends

[pine oracle]

cosmetic mods at the least shouldnt mess up co-op, tho only you will be able to see your mods (unless the other person has the same ones)

idk abt the weapon mods etc tho

like that rifle rework

[marsh loom]

I dont mind only me being able to see it xD. Just glad they shouldnt mess with co-op

[solar basin]

something i was curious about is if it’d be possible to get the camo pants our character is originally wearing as a mod. i do love the explorer shorts but i think they were a missed opportunity for clothing

[pine oracle]

definitely something i can give a go

i've switched up some other stuff so it should be possible

i also love the camo pants

[solar basin]

that’d be awesome! sort of on a related note, is there any post that explains how you guys are doing all these mods for the clothing? i’m super curious as to how you do it. i’m guessing you extract the file you want and just slap it onto a currently existing clothing slot, right?

[pine oracle]

I havent seen a post so far (other than the ikran one i made) but it really depends what you wanna do, like some clothes are simply just erasing bits and drawing bits on, new models etc are pretty much just slapping them in and all their juice files into the right folder yeah

[solar basin]

gotcha… i might mess around with that whenever i’m free just because i wanna learn lol

[viral wyvern]

Has anyone modded a waistcloth to not have the back flap?

[mint snow]

I have. Are you interested in a particular one? Some use the same texture for both sides and some turn black when you try to go transparent, but several should work

[viral wyvern]

Not one in particular was just wondering if it was even possible for that exact reason xD

[mint snow]

I think I've done 5 of the store cosmetics and 3 of the visuals so far. Definitely still a lot to choose from

[tacit flame]

im trying to change the melee attack damage and found some fruit files and moddifyed it a little but when i test it ingame nothing changes

[subtle nova]

I'll yoink some waist cloth mods

[mint snow]

from me you mean?

[subtle nova]

Yeah, unless I misunderstood

🥹

[mint snow]

ya I'll send all the ones I've done over and you can pick and choose n stuff

[subtle nova]

Amazing! Thank you so much 🫡

[glossy knoll]

hii does anyone else have an issue that certain ikran skins recolors dont show in game? :(

[glossy knoll]

Hii can anyone help me real quickwith modding?

[inner charm]

chat which ikran skin should I go ahead and mod for my Na'vi. (I got all the dlcs)

[glossy knoll]

i dont like the wild vines

[sand bough]

Hey, I'm just searching through the files and seeing what I can find, is it possible to change player stats, like speed, damage, etc within the files. And are there any better ways to manipulate rarity of items without manually going through each file and changing them? Thanks.

[mint snow]

Player stats, yes. Rarity, you're probably the first to look into that specifically

[viral wyvern]

Is there a way to significantly increase the amount of RDA at base locations?

[sand bough]

You wouldn't happen to know what file it is to change players stats would you?

[inner charm]

You'd have to just play around and figure it out sadly. Majority of us here have been modding for cosmetics more than ways to alter stats.

[sand bough]

Alright, no worries👍🏽

[pine oracle]

dont suppose anyone knows how to fix this when using new models?

[glossy knoll]

at least you can se they take care of their teeth ig

[mint snow]

Might have something to do with bones? When I was looking at camera stuff I think I saw that first person is tied to the location of a certain bone

[inner charm]

aight my first modded Ikran skin dunno if I really like it lol

[pine oracle]

ohhh maybe, whole new thing to teach myself 😭

[inner charm]

Alright I think I have done it! Introducing Fury the piebald Ikran lol

[orchid scarab]

Hi anyone able to add a 3rd person mode in just how the glitch used to work, i don't mind if its broken when u interact with stuff just something to be able to toggle back and forth so when it gets bugged in 3rd person when interacting with objects switch back to 1st and do it that way

[nimble cedar]

Beautiful! Reminds me of Toxic Love from Fern Gully.

[north notch]

That one is so pretty i can't

[urban quarry]

is this one sharable?

so pwetty

[inner charm]

I can make it sharable

[urban quarry]

would be amazing - if you don't mind of course 💙

[inner charm]

Will do so later today

[urban quarry]

no worries

[runic laurel]

OMG I found you! any chance you could help me out?

I am getting an error message when I try to export my desired pattern files from Hunter. There was a comment on your Reddit post about this but it doesnt look resolved. Any updates? Thanks for your work!! literally so many people are able to create and share beautiful custom skins because of it <3

[mint snow]

You could try reinstalling Hunter (that worked for me for some reason), but if that doesn't work I think dtzxporter is interested in hearing from people who get errors

[pine oracle]

Yeah definitely try reinstalling Hunter, that’s fixed it for a few people 😭🙏

[solid knoll]

Started playing with modding the saddles and swapped the cosmetic resistance saddle around with the normal resistance one, was bugging me that we couldn't get that on its own

Just go to my mods here and it should be there

[urban quarry]

🙏

[inner charm]

Alright lol

[urban quarry]

thankies 😊

[inner charm]

np!

[runic laurel]

Okay thank you!

[solid knoll]

Done some more meddling. Had to edit four files just to remove the headpiece and stop the texture from turning into squares but it still looks a little weird

[pine oracle]

love this!! the head piece is just.. it could be nicer

[solid knoll]

I kinda like it but I feel like it needs a set of its own with matching stuff, not combo'd with the RDA style

Kinda clashes

[pine oracle]

100%

idea for future us

[sudden panther]

Does anyone mod gear

With high stats

[solid knoll]

I've no idea about changing gear stats, probably possible but I don't know where to start looking at it

[pine oracle]

might be in juice files somewhere

tho i havent looked for damage numbers at all

or health etc

[solid knoll]

Fixed it. Turns out paint was saving the normal map weird

Yeah, gonna have to have a rummage through the files and see if theres anything obvious in there

Also trying to figure out if I can yoink Alma's avatar boots but I haven't found anything, fear it may just be one big model with her body and I don't have a way to look at that

[pine oracle]

can confirm her boots are attatched to the rest of her outfit, i havent foudn a way to separate them yet (everything ive tried does not work or breaks the game)

we can prob use these tho

if ur looking for shoes

these are the tap ones

[solid knoll]

Ooh, haven't came across those before, neat

[pine oracle]

not quite as cool as combat boots but

[solid knoll]

The only other boot related things I found was some unused art

This made me laugh more than it should have

[pine oracle]

[grizzled carbon]

I'm so afraid that Ubisoft close my account or something else if I use a mod... o_o

[stark turtle]

Has one tried to make a mod that readds the mixing ingame hairs with cosmetic hairs?

[stark turtle]

It’s only like hacking or exploiting the game that’s bannable

[pine oracle]

^^

i've been messing around w all the game files since squarezebs first video came out

im not banend or anythign

i cant type jesus

[subtle nova]

I'd love the zeswa one if you figure it out and have time 🫡

[grizzled carbon]

Really? :0 Maybe I'll give it a try then!

[cursive turret]

?

[still mango]

?

What do you mean?

I think that they ment "I can't type, Jesus". As in using the name in vain

[wooden plaza]

is it possible to make a mod where we can camp and sit with the fire anywhere we want?

I only want this.

Hearing crackling fire while watching western frontier biomes

[viral wyvern]

what

[solid knoll]

I've got nothing but time, I'll see what I can do!

[inner charm]

Could be wrong but so far I don't think that is possible yet or someone hasn't figured that out yet since it sounds like some re-coding would have to be done to do that. Right now people seem to only really be able to do cosmetics and change the colours of things or change the hair models from npcs to the main character.

Doesn't mean it isn't impossible just that no one has done this yet so you may have to play around yourself to find it.

[mint snow]

Turns out there's already a model for it. Looks passable in photo mode

but it is floating in front of you in first person. not sure why that is or how to fix it

same thing happens with the waistcloth I replaced, but only for one body 🤔

[pine oracle]

so weird

[inner charm]

It looks like his pants fell down XD

[mint snow]

There's always something 😒

[stark turtle]

No but seriously has anyone figured out how to the cosmetic hair mixing it back I miss making unique hairstyles

[glossy knoll]

wdym? the paid headpiece not doing what it did before,

[stark turtle]

You used to be able to mix cosmetic hairs with normal in game hair but they removed it

[glossy knoll]

did u download the mod?

[glossy knoll]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/24

if i am thinking of the same thing

[stark turtle]

i know that mod exists but thats not what im talking about

i meant more like back when we were able to merge hair together like this

[mint snow]

yeah unfortunately my mod shows only one hairstyle. Anything I do to the juice has the same result

fascinating

[stark turtle]

yeah thats what ive hear which sucks

[solar basin]

woah 👀

[pine oracle]

ive been looking at this model for so long but never got round to it, looks better than i thouht it would

[restive sable]

Looks really good

I wonder y it floats

[mint snow]

Yeah
I was thinking another option might be Ka'nat's cummerbund, but I'm having trouble finding his outfit

[pine oracle]

ooo

i saw it the other day i think

gimme one sec

[mint snow]

🥺

[pine oracle]

cus_10

it is the whole fit tho

..so good luck

[mint snow]

Thanks
Yeah, I was thinking I'd try making the unwanted parts transparent

[pine oracle]

some work

but

i tried that w ri'nela's it went black

[mint snow]

Foiled again

[pine oracle]

got kataru's top by making her bottom half naked

its tragic

[mint snow]

Ig I can still try with his. Doesn't seem to be a pattern to the alpha problems

I also at some point want to try figuring out the floating too so maybe it'll be unnecessary

[pine oracle]

yeah the floating is super annoying

wearing kataru's/so'lek's hair is like wearing a wig thta falls off every 3 seconds

[subtle nova]

This looks amazing

[mint snow]

I found it in the files. It and a few others I want to try; I think they're listed as deprecated but yeah this one looks pretty good and behaves itself

[feral anchor]

anyone willing to help me and my girlfriend figure out how to do custom ikran skins lmfao

we already have hunter and everything we just cant figure it out lmao

[feral anchor]

(real talk ill cashapp you if you help me, this woman is going to go feral if she doesn't get her custom skins)

[mint snow]

I think someone might have made a video tutorial

[stark turtle]

Man I’ll do it for free what’s up

did she get it off steam or like the official Ubisoft store

[mint snow]

Maybe not; I can't find anything
In hunter turn on raw files and look up "color pattern"
There should be head and body files and if you export them and open them with a text editor there will be rgba color codes

[stark turtle]

If it’s off the Ubisoft store you find the files through the epic games folder

I had to helo my friend find it earlier

[feral anchor]

Ubi store

We've found the files and gotten literally all the stuff we need to get from the guide we were given, up to and including the modloader and "hunter" to access the rawfiles of the game

we got to the point of editing the hex codes in the files, but we are unsure how to get those files into the game files and have them actually work properly

[stark turtle]

I’m not exactly sure how to change the hex codes but I think there’s a Reddit tutorial

[feral anchor]

We did most of the reddit tutorial but we are lost after a certain point

This is where we lose it

[stark turtle]

Oooohhh

[feral anchor]

She has edited the hex codes to be how the wants them, in the file for the skin she wants to be edited

But we are unsure how to put it into the gamefiles and have it work

[stark turtle]

So basically you want to make sure you files line up with the ones shown

Has she made a blue folder yet?

[feral anchor]

I did that when I took over and started helping

I made a blue folder

And then the gameplay

and then the vanity

and then the juice

and put both the text file and the other file into the juice folder

and it still didnt work

[stark turtle]

huh

Did you add the edited skin files into juice?

[feral anchor]

These would be the edited skin files, yes

[stark turtle]

It should be working then that’s odd

[feral anchor]

Do we need to replace them in both the normal blue folder as well as the raw_files blue folder?

We don't have it in the raw files blue folder I don't think

[stark turtle]

Maybe try that

Is she using a DLC skin for her edit?

[feral anchor]

Now that I see that folder, its the one that she made her skin with

Nah she said no

[stark turtle]

ah okay

[feral anchor]

Any further advice?

[stark turtle]

Hmm that’s really weird I’m not sure why it’s not working

[tacit flame]

do you have the modloader?

[stark turtle]

My mods were a bit glitchy this morning so maybe it’s the game files?

Oh yeah the modloaders important I didn’t think of that yet

And the Ikran skin fix

[feral anchor]

we do, yeah

ikran skin fix i believe we do as well

[stark turtle]

Huh

That’s weird

[feral anchor]

i beg for help @grim rivet is gonna kill me fr

[mint snow]

Do you have squarezeb's file dump? Maybe look up the file names in that to make absolute sure they're in the correct path

[feral anchor]

We got the file dump from an application called hunter that was in the guide we were using

[stark turtle]

I can’t wait for the new dlc to come out and break every mod /sarc

[feral anchor]

😭 Real spill tho someone help us get this stuff to work and Ill give you some cheese or something

[feral anchor]

the one that should have been out yesterday smh

[stark turtle]

yeah

[stark turtle]

Man I have no idea what could be wrong 😭😭

[grim rivet]

the answer is simple: the world just hates me frfr

[stark turtle]

Maybe download a skin mod off nexus and load it in to see if that’s working?

[feral anchor]

Im too braindead for this stuff

I think I shall just wait until some random AFOP player wants to make $10

[stark turtle]

wait until you try to figure out fallout mods

[feral anchor]

bro i thought modding GTA V with OpenIV was hard

this is aids

[stark turtle]

Ubisoft games are hard to mod 😭🤚

[mint snow]

Might be worthwhile to send screenshots of her files. The afop folder and the juice folder

[feral anchor]

That's because Ubisoft hates their players and have for like 8 years now

[stark turtle]

Ohhh I see the problem

[grim rivet]

what did i do PLEASE

[feral anchor]

please see the problem

i beg

[grim rivet]

we’re at like almost 24 hrs of tryna figure this out😭

[stark turtle]

You need to find your afop.exe

[feral anchor]

she was doin this on my pc at 5am while i was asleep

[stark turtle]

That’s were you load in your mods

[feral anchor]

Blud wut

[stark turtle]

It should look something like this

[grim rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-huh-m4rtin-huh-huh-meme-what-cat-gif-15446602901786973981

[mint snow]

Look in program files folder, then ubisoft, then
Uh

[feral anchor]

so put modloader in there

then make blue folder and the other folders in there

and put her skin in the juice folder that i make in there

[stark turtle]

Yuh

[feral anchor]

Bout to see if it works

[stark turtle]

It’s easier to find in folders if you try to look for dlc1

It’s a pain I’m telling you

[grim rivet]

if this works i think i may have to give you my soul in repayment

[stark turtle]

Nah it’s all good man

[feral anchor]

she wont even give me her soul so thats saying something

[stark turtle]

I know the struggle

I have steam so it was a whole thing of looking for the files 😭🤚

[feral anchor]

i am going to say a swear word

[stark turtle]

Did it not work?

[feral anchor]

I do not believe so

[stark turtle]

Damm

[feral anchor]

i put the modloader in with the exe

and made the blue file

im sick

[stark turtle]

Rip

I know some people in this thread know how to edit Ikran skins so maybe they’ll know because I’m all out of ideas 😔👊

Good luck tho my guy

[mint snow]

One question
Please don't be insulted
Did you save your changes in the text editor

[feral anchor]

Idk @grim rivet did you

?

i saved them this morning when i woke up but i dont know if you closed them and reopened them or what

[grim rivet]

i THINK i did but deadass i repel technology and it was like 5 am so i dont know

[stark turtle]

That could do it

[grim rivet]

i will say i wrote down the hex codes i put in and they are still the same as what i put

[stark turtle]

Also did you add the extra folders inside the blue folder ryan?

[feral anchor]

yes

[stark turtle]

Huh

It could be the text didn’t save

[mint snow]

Hit us with some more pics

[feral anchor]

i believe this would be our problem

the .txt and the .mcolorpattern have different hex codes

i bet she put what she wanted in the text

and not in the mcolorpattern

[grim rivet]

i did in fact do that

[stark turtle]

Oh

LMAFO

At least it’s a easy fix

[grim rivet]

i wanna know exactly how people understand any of this bc what the actual hell

[stark turtle]

I have no idea

[feral anchor]

lets find out if it worked

[stark turtle]

I haven’t even attempted to touch it

I just want the old hair and cosmetic hair combo glitch back as a mod istg

[feral anchor]

if this didnt work i may eat my cat

[stark turtle]

Oh!

[grim rivet]

bro your cat would feed an army w how large he is

[feral anchor]

so i got it to work, but i believe she only pulled out the files for the head lmao

[stark turtle]

Looks pretty!!

[stark turtle]

Me when my outfit don’t match

[feral anchor]

So how do I access the .mcolorpattern files? She didnt get the file for the body so now I must hunt for it

[tacit flame]

one says head one says body

[feral anchor]

well yea i get that i jus dont know how she even got those files in the first place

but i think i got it

ill find out in like 30 seconds

it has been done

[stark turtle]

Yippie congrats 🎉

[viral wyvern]

@mint snow just wondering if youve uploaded all your tops/no breast patch mods anywhere?

[mint snow]

Patch one is on nexus marked as adult content (guidelines -.-) and I haven't put any tops out officially. Which ones you want?

[viral wyvern]

The one neytiri bead top mostly, and then possible that one with the feathers? Cant quite remember. Anywho im off to bed so just shoot me an dm and ill respond in the morning

[glossy knoll]

could you send me neytiri top and the feather ones too please?

[minor ocean]

Hii, I have an issue with ReShade. It doesn't detect AFOP at all. Any ideas what to do? 😅

[pine oracle]

click the browse button and find ur AFOP folder, then click afop

the exe file

[serene parrot]

how do i do mods???

[lone quail]

When you download an avatar mod from nexusmods there will be info in the description on where to put the file

it could be a little tricky at first to understand it

[serene parrot]

ah okay
