honestly i didnt notice any difference in performance
when i downloaded reshade
even on gta
and gta is like
making my computer burn
It's the waistcloth you retextured for your Tsahik outfit no?
its the same one yeah
but i added different cloth
this is the only one i found to cooperate with me
so ill do my waistcloths on this one
so far
wtf? hunter is not opening,
I was wondering if you are still able to change the materials and stuff with this altered version of the waistcloth ?
you mean the part like the beads and the belt?
yeah
Okey, have have tested to remove the drap from the back to make it more like the ones we see in the movies?
yesss
it works
Oh nice
I'm not really speaking about a model in particular
It's just that I rewatched both movies recently and I realised that they never have a drap that covers their booty
ooh so just
cloth w/out the bottom part
any color u want or
So now I struggle a bit with the conservative aspect of each outfit we have in game
I'm looking for a waistcloth like the one you use but with a shorter front drap, no back drap with a a gradient from black to a beautiful orange
I might use the wrong words but what I mean is that in game the outfits are wayyy more covering than what we see in the movies
I thought it was mostly for the tops... But I realised the waistcloths too
can u quickly sketch it for me in painting or smth like that
oh yeah, thats why mods are last resort
since the in game are just
too chonky
I can for sure but not right now
dw i am leaving for apptin like 10 mins so just send it whenever
I'm thinking of creating a spot in the creation area to show designs that I would draw sometimes
I realised I had much fun drawing this one so I'm thinking of sharing more designs in one spot and the people who can actually make them can just pick whatever they feel inspired about 🤷
But Idk if people would actually use them
sometimes i get block of not knowing what to do so maybe
depends how hard it is
that decides for like
90% of stuff i do
By this one I forgot to join the image that is far up in the conversation but I believe you saw the one I'm talking about
i am deciding between these two rn
yess
i did
Oh okey
and idk which one
i am leaning more towards the neytiri one
but idk work equally long atp
and the collar is impossible
so idk
My first test was inspired by this version of Neytiri's top
i would do it so gladly but the COLLAR
yeah the hells gate one
works wonders
but i can never make it fit what i need
sadly.
BUT this one could work
Yeah a shame they put such a beautiful necklace with an rda fit
its not abt that its just
u cant customize it
like ifi could do outfits
complete models
And that's the top that inspired the last version of my design
it crossed my mind haha
Didn't I see someone in this chat post a picture of the necklace with a black and white reshade?
yess but i meant
u cant edit it completely
Oooh okey
i cant do
like the collar part
of the neytiri top w that
if i could it’d be nice
It would be yes
so sadly i need to do tops that dont have collars
But you could do something that kinda looks like it even if it's not connected ?
i dont think so. I mean i can try but since there is so much stuff that is like poking out (feathers, the “jewel” i think it will look weird
but it wont kill me to try
I mean when you don't know what to do, you could always test things out like that
both
🩵
HAHA i wish
i can do the blue one
100%
not sure abt neytiri :,)
yeah. Trial and error
is it the details that are challenging? i highly respect everyones remodel creation - while me thinking about, what kind of body paint theme i try to approach next 💀 lack of inspiration
Want any suggestions ?
always!!! ; my first one was super abstract - maybe of being a tattoo tho, and as i figured how to make multiple colours work i wanna make smth. with it - i thought of going for a feather/ikran one, yet no clue where to start
not the details
the collar is kinda impossible
oooo i see
That would be interesting
got it
Btw, @glossy knoll if you want some more references for Neytiri's top
hm?
Trying to get a picture but my phone's being a b*tch
feel u
probly ideally, starting something with this one - just colourize it - yet i don't wanna make a copy paste again at the same time idk 💀
probly i have to
just do it
and see
Yeah, go for it !
alrite, new years plans saved
thank u!
Has anyone tried making this top ?
tried making this a while ago
was a pain in my ass
but i could probably try again now that i know more
id also love to do this top on the right if elysaaan doesnt 
ooooh 😮
You could maybe try changing the _n to get slightly different textures
i think thats cause the sharpness is high maybe?
I like the idea! But it does kinda look a bit pressed on 💙 (Just trying to give constructive feedback mean absolutely no harm)
didn't put any n_ texture yet
no worries, i don't take it as harmful feedback
i wonder if i can fix it though
its not
trust me LOL
its pixelated af
look
Defo, I seen all your other mods lmao you're like the god of afop mods
they all are just the way i did the top the only issue is thi sone is supposed to have many layers
but thats kinda impossible
ill try
and ty!
Do you think upscaling is an option? Ik that can end in a smooth mess
reshade off
ooh
what is upscaling
english is not my 1st language
so i might be a tad bit
oblivious LOL
from photo mod its too bright.. hm
They're programs that give images more pixels
Usually the ones I see use ai of some sort to do it
OOH
you think
that would help with it looking
so flat etc?
i want to make it look more layered
i know its hard since the game allows only one layer
and it look svery bright
maybe you could make a light map for it? i dont know how to tho but that would give it more depth
light map?
texture map thingie
bruh i am clueless
i never do rlly texture maps
i just
try
trial and error
because then i get
confused
yeah!
sometimes theres one thats yellow as well
so just do the same thing
on the n file
and add itthere
pray for me to do it again and make it align perfectly.
just cut out the shape of the top and keep that i think
oooo
Which reshade is that?
like its worse lowk
causes weird shadows
Both maybe? Lol I'm not sure if it's any from nexus but it looks nice
yeah its my preset
from nexus
i have it there its called gloomy
but i have to update it since
Awesome thank you!
I would love that 🩵
okay holdup
@river hornet see the weird distortion after i did the n file?
@subtle nova
i think this should be it
Thank you!
yw :)
dont ask abt the pose but
i feel like its too bright
but maybe thats just my feeling since i dont do white stuf
i think that might be because the texture is meant to look like cloth on the original researcher top sadly
that looks sick tho!!
That happened to me a while ago when I was messing with a saddle. I think the way to fix it was to save it differently on paint net or whatever you're using
Have to check what it was exactly
Hang on, I can actually recreate it right now, taking some screenshots
doesnt look
too bad
given the circumstances
i am doing collab w tseyks, she is doing the collar and i am doing the top
so this will be fun collab haha
When I was on paint switching it to the BC3 thing fixed it from going weird
Also had to edit all 4 files for it to stick
oh
so
there rn
is M
N
and D
file only
but the d file is male version
not the female one
so only available files in this case
Had to make them match when I was removing things
What are the file names so I can take a look at them real quick
uh holdup
See whats going on with the different male and female ones
Okay, think I've found
I'll have a poke and see if you need to edit all four to stop the weird corruption from happening
yeah, thanks i have been busting my a55 for hours to make the top
so id appreciate somehelp lol tysm
I've not actually tried doing clothes before so this is gonna be interesting
I have been trying a few things and it is NOT happy no matter what so far
My running theory is that the files aren't enjoying being swapped when the piece you're switching it too has more files than the swap one and ALSO gets very mad when it doesn't perfectly match with all the masks and other fancy files
I was doing a bit of reverse engineering with the avatar set mod you made since it was using the shirt textures, did a bit of digging and found the rest of the files for the shirt swap and tried removing all the same to make it match and it wasn't working, tried copying the blue m onto the masks, still didn't work. So I think if you do customise those it needs to match both the shape and the colours they use and I don't know how to make those
Also odds are the amount of files varies depending on the swap since the shirt just does not have a mask file that I could find
Might be easier to try and fake the layers by handpainting some depth onto the texture one you're working on, maybe add some little shadows and highlights straight onto it
yeah i thought abt it and i might give it a shot. Thanks still, appreciate it lots and ty for ur research haha
guys help help help my ikran has one tailpiece visual stuck (it won’t unequip it) it lets me equip other visuals while this one still won’t unequip
so i have both at the same time
because one doesn’t unequip
it doesn’t even show as selected but it has an unequip option that doesn’t work even when i spam my spacebar
and i sent this message here too just in case (i originally sent it in another thread)
also note that i do not have any mods so it is unrelated to adding a mod or something
though i know you guys are great at editing the game files and stuff so maybe you all have a fix
Oh okay so do we replace it now?
There is a lot of issues with the ikran's cosmetics at the moment
Try to select an other tailpiece (not talking about the cosmetics but the tailpiece itself), switch with another then switch it back to the one that was equiped before
Once you did that, you can go back in the cosmetics and select the visual you want ( I recommend selecting the visual you want directly, don't wander around selecting a bunch in a row cause you might have to redo the manip)
Let me know if it worked, hope my message made sens, I'm so tired
happy new years!
Happy New Year 🎉 ✨ 💙
happy new years!!! ✨❤️
you'll see your mods but if the other player doesn't have the same mods he/she won't see them
happy new year gang
i mean idk what ur trying to do but these have got the wrong name so theyre not gna work at all
them having a different name is gna mean theyre busted in game
u can find all the relevant files within the mgraphobject
if u start adding extra files (like the masks) its not gna work
i think u would have to run a script for the game to even look at the mask file
Ouugh I forgot about that and I DID that in my saddle mod 💀 This is what I get for modding sleep deprived AND coming off of meds
I'm gonna have to poke it with a stick some more huh
Also, Happy New Year lmao
is there a way to replace an existing hair option with the hair from the hells gate veteran pack?
I installed a new reshade preset and updated reshade itself and it's not applying to my ingame screenshots, am I missing something?
that's weird, it worked like that for me before
js a suggestion but someone should totally make tsu'tey's ikran skin its so pretty !
it is possible, tho there is the issue of making paid items free so like
would need proof u have in fact paid etc
and cant share it

by underground archive do u mean llike not uploading to nexus/making it public? (sorry im a bit stupid andd this is the first game ive made mods for😭 )
gotcha
probably also a silly question
can ubisoft see what files were modifying
/swapping models around for
this is actually awesome news
tysm
so i vaguely remember someone asking for tsu'tey's hair a while ago, but i dont remember who, but i did find this hair if anyone is interested. Its a little bit goofy in the sense that it doesnt have a kuru unless you're riding a mount, so i've combined it with the bald hair and accept the fact i have a double kuru on ikran. unsurprisingly it doesnt change colour, same with the npc hairs
looks p cool with this hair too
cute
cutest couple in the plains
if its possible to do, i would reaaally appreciate if you could dm the mod to me ^^
lemme dm u rq
me trying to cook smth. multicolourish. i feel so smol between all those cracked mods with my few paint attempts lol 🥲
AAAAH GORG
these are so cool???
theres so much detail
i am in love wqith that last one
i love green
Really nice contrast with the red one
When you want to make a face paint, do you have a image of the face behind what you're drawing? How do you where it will be placed on the face (probably a stupid question but I can't help but wondering about it)
idk bout others but i do not
y'all too kind 🥲
i did that in the beginning for help
i kinda know now where to draw
Part two of recreating Ryder's stripe options, having fun and going insane at the same time
it looks so gooood 😍
In love
i have a question
shoot ur question
so it's my first time trying to mod I'm trying to do stripes any advice would be welcome but my question is how hard is modding?
you mean making them yourself or just downloading premade ones?
some parts of modding are p easy, others a bit more difficult, just depends what youre trying to do
yeah I'm trying to make stripes myself I've watch zeb video on the textures and stuff
gotcha, i def recommend getting the head base from hunter and placing it on another layer then lowering the opacity so you can use it for a guide
if i remember right, just search rnf_head
and ur looking for a file ending w _d
Ah thank you tseyks, very much appreciative
this is the one i was thinking of
Thank you
so i've made the stripes but im having a hard time trying to fit them into place lol
Lol
i have another question 😅
so i drew my stripe pattern how do i convert it into the game?
Basically make the background pure black
Then colour your stripes in white
Then in the video of squarezeb’s retexturing video there’s a text file, download that and use ctrl f to search for the name of your file
It’ll show you the place you need to move the DDs file to
Ah thank you again Tseyks 🤭
Hey Oriax I have a question for you when you do your stripes what brush or app do you use?
heyy, im wondering how one would go about removing the head part of this ikran headpiece?
its the zeswa warrior cosmetic
should be easy enough, just erasing the head parts in the dds file
if it behaves
just had a look, the file you wanna get is mtx_g_m_vlt_head_neck_legendary_01_d
ive been wanting to do some ikran stuff soon too
but
im bouncing between 20 different things
lmao
man same, bodypaint, stripes, tops, it never ends
literally
starteddoing some stripes and bio patterns the other day
its so much harder than it looks
to come up w a pretty pattern
ikr!
personally ive been editing all the patterns to clean them up a bit and add sort of eyebrow stripes to add definition while not looking human
i think my pattern is done lol
that looks awesome, how did you get that skin tone? doesnt look vanilla
i edited one of the skins to be more like the movie skin tone
would you mind sharing the file? its a beautiful tone
yeah ofc
tysm !!
It's this one
appreciate it !
Np
oooo would love to see some!! 👀
I'm gonna go work on some more skin tones
for sure, i’ll try to get some pics soon ☺️
my half assed wip stripes
loveeeee
@lunar agate Did you fix your ikran issue ?
I've been doing them in krita, the brush is a custom one I got a while ago, can't remember where from but I'll try and find the name of it first
Okay, found it again. It was deevad stamp texture big, and I got it here https://www.davidrevoy.com/article319/krita-brushkit-v8
Pretty good collection of brushes in there for krita
Sweet Thank You Oriax 🤭
Hey. Can anyone help me with the mod for the Etuwa headband? I've tried it 20 times now and it doesn't work. I think I'm misunderstanding Nexus Mods. ^-^
Looks incredible
heya, i made the mod, ill dm u ^^
Thank you so much ^^
Number 3, which for whatever stupid reason is pattern 8 in game, is done and a bonus variant of pattern 2 based more on the preview in the old game rather than the in game model
https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/269?tab=description anyone tried this out and seen if it works yet?
not yet
Also I ended up using your edits to the base loincloth and it's unbelievably better
ooh awesome! and ty ^^
I cant understand it Dx
How does one install it
it uses a program called keyran, never used it before and im kinda scared to f something up xD
Hi, I might ask a stupid question but I was wondering if it was possible to retexture the tshirt and the vest of the guerilla protector cosmetic separately or are the vest and the tshirt fused together ?
Felt lol
they are the same model, so you cant have one without the other, however its possible to retexture/recolor just the shirt or just the vest. its the same dds though
It's all one and it can't go transparent
oh okey, good to know
things that can't go transparent depends on the models right, some can while others can't ?
It seems like it
I feel like it's something on the model end that they just didn't apply consistently (shocker), and even if we find the culprit setting we wouldn't be able to change it unless we manage to implement edited models
Work in progress🤭
And what's causing things to go black ?
yeah
tseyks tested it and it said malicious
and apparently from what i understand u can use it only 2 hrs a day
hmm hopefully someone will make a more accessible version of the mod one day
hope so too
i wanted l.lowk to do
custom anims
but god damn maya is so expensive
like.....
do i look like i have 1 276 usd spare
??? cus i dont
holy-
yup :(
Didn’t even test it, google just told me it was bad 
quick question do the patterns have to be perfect?
I don't really know. Something to do with it not being set to register alpha correctly
So perhaps it's fixable when it happens no?
Not that I know of. Like I said I think it's on the model end, and we can't change anything about the actual models rn
how does it look?
so now that im done with my pattern do i add the texture to it or not?
This looks gorgeous oh my god. I loved the old games 🥹
i think this is my pattern
How do we edit the files that end with _n.dds? I want to mess with the skin file but I'm not sure where to start for that one specifically
I put a temporary white layer behind it to see what I'm doing and mostly use the clone tool to preserve transparency levels
Thank you, I'll try that 🙂
really like that scar!! 💗i wish they added scars to the base game so much.
honestly yeah thats exactly what i did, i was just struggling to get the timing right
thought it was a bit fishy when it told you to download smth else, which then came up with warnings on google..
might have just found my new favourite hair combo 
Tseyks quick question is etuwa headband meant to overlap with another hair?
yeah its meant ot overlap with the one with her hair, if you dont want it to overlap, just use the bald hair style 
Allright👍
i have a question while making ikran recolor skins is there an easier way to see them insted of entering and exiting the game?
not sure if itll work for ikran skins, but its been working for other clothes and stuff for me atm. you wanna fast travel away from where the skin naturally spawns to a different region (say its a kinglor forest spawn, go to clouded forest or plains) then equp and unepuip the cosmetic
ok
oh my
i think it's going somewhere 😭 🙏
tseyks inspired me to make my own section, if anyone's like to https://discordapp.com/channels/846716389037178901/1324449574462689290
yeah thats what i said too.
Dont remember if i posted this before, ubi WERE cooking.
could we get a mod to make the game posible to finish using only our fists and ikran meele? like bufffing the meele damange to a point where its possible to use that as only weapon
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
technically u can do this already, no? stun & rip out of amp suit
I KNOW.
bet someone on the way was like "erm our shareholders are scared of boobs!" and that's how we got robbed 😔
Does anyone know if the peace bringer waistguard is editable without parts of it going black?
that would be great
Real
It is possible however no matter what, that giant yellow pouch doesn’t go away, so it just floats there awkwardly…
Was one of the first pieces I attempted to change 😭
It looked SO good without all that waist stuff
But that damn pouch :’)
Helllo everyone!!
noooo 
Is it the same model as that chest mod?
according to the mgraph yes, but replacing it does nothing
iirc anyway
this is the gear on So'leks ikran, as far as i know you cant get it in the base game, does anyone know if they can mod it to replace a saddle we can use? or somehow get it onto our ikran because i adore this
I’m going to sleep soon but if nobody has done it before I wake up then I’ll give it a go
Its in the shop in green, the saddle
hey, are you all using paint.net to easily work with dds files or is there an alternative? Some people say it's safe others don't and the web page looks a bit shady... it's all very confusing
puzzle force you to shot at least 4 arrow in the whole game and you can't really hunt anything
i tried finding the melee damage file but i couldn't, i found files that looked like it changed somthing i tested it ingame and nothing changed 😦
ow :<
maybe it was cus the melee damange is based on various factors? (speed and distance)
when putting the mod that removes the chosen hairstyle that comes with the store bought headbands can you Preview it? or do u need to have the headband first? 😭
yeah probably, im not very good at code modding.
didn't expec it to work honestly
(specifically this one) https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/24
I don't know of any other. You're at getpaint.net right?
I mean it's been fine for me
same here
+1
wanted to make a ride-able thanator so i swaped the .mgraphobject but i cant ride it
omg please 
not sure how to mod the game to let me ride it
Omfg please
Make it reality
I beg you 10000 times
based based based
id love to but theres no prompt to soothe then ride it 😦
not sure but im trying 🙂
If you figure out some way.. that means the Stormglider is also a possibility
I'd guess it's because there're no animations? Maybe
well there are but it acts like a horse
Less likely I'd say, at least without new animations because Stirmgliders are so different in size
Oh haha, that sounds interesting... but cursed
just dont know how to get the prompt to let me soothe it
Do you have the files? I could try it some day if you can't get it to work
i was going to take a look at the .fruit or .juice files
heres a few pics of the thanator at the zeswa camp
yeah LOL
And kurus, those too...
awww hes just an eepy little guy
hmm i tried it with a hexapede it let me soothe it but when i tried to mount it the game crashed 😦
That’s so cool!
What does it take to mod stuff like this?
I swear if this thanator thing works at some point I’m gonna have to superspeed getting a PC so I can get my grubby little blue hands on all of you guys’ gorgeous mods
Apologies for interrupting a bit
i think it would need advanced scripting to get it do work
me n my friend made this ikran skin !! i love it sm
we taught ourselves how to mod some of the simpler things
if u fogure this out u will be known in history forever
OH EM GEEEE as soon as thats available lease let me know its so gorgeous
that scar is sick, did yo make it or did someone else?
does anyone have an easy explanation for how to swap clothing models? i want to get some npcs clothes, and id love to learn how to make my own
For swapping you find the model you want in Hunter, export the .mgraphobject by the same name, rename it to the model you will replace, and put it (most likely) in blue\graph objects\gear
thanks!!
Advance warning: for some reason a lot of the npc clothing floats further in front of your body than it should, and only in first person
good to know, thank you
know any easy way to recolour gear? liike making something a deep red
explain to me like im an idiot because i am lmfao
Go to getpaint.net and download paint.net
Have Hunter export images as DDS
Once you know the file name of what you want to recolor, search it up in Hunter and export the dds image ending in _d
Open the dds in paint.net, which has a recolor tool you can experiment with
Save the dds as BC2 (dxt3 linear) and with error diffusion dithering unchecked
Also
If by chance
You're the person who asked for a deep red recolor of that top on nexus, I did add one now
If not
Coincidence ig :]
This makes me wanna try do the storm glider again
have tried but its incredibly difficult to make it look good/ not flat
i feel like you probably wouldnt be able to get good stat materials with punching only
AHH fair enough
i can only imagine how limited stuff is
Is there anyway to make a more detailed head piece without the little flaired pieces
depends what ur idea is
Like the champions headpiece because that one is really lacking in detail
This sort of has the same shape without the little pieces so like something with a better texture even
I’m not sure how modding works but like yeah it is and it totally sucks bc the only piece we have thats interesting is the mod that got released of Etuwa’s headpiece (which is gorgeous but glitchy)
i can def try make the navi champions one better
but no guaruntee how long itll take
i have the attention span of a walnut so bounce between 20 different things
haha all good!! No worries ab this
even trying it is good enough for me
the champions headpiece deserves some love
how do people make such good looking ikran ive tried and they come out looking crappy lol
are npc skin tone easy access like the player skin or is that another can of worms unopened
How am I able to discover the directory where assets need to be placed to replace them in the base game?
for example, to replace an armor piece the directory is
torso\part\armor\g_tmp_torso_part_armor_t3_01\textures for one of the mods on nexusmods.
If I wanted to replace, lets say, a texture of a creature in the game, how would I discover that?
oh! I found it, theres a FilelistDump.txt provided in this video description here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwKB3MtFyW8

that why it needs ajustment like guranted pristine in hunt? okay forgot this is goofy anyway
Is there a way to export the sounds of the game? If so, i would like to have them in any variant, like the only percussion or only instrumental stuff.
I successfully removed the streamers off the back of this saddle as a test. yay!
going to look at how to do model swaps now
im also pretty sure I know how to set it up so the color-changing saddles can have their color areas changed, and the colour options changed too
models are easy peasy, just rename the relevant mgraphobject file
awesome I'll take a look
just be mindful to not make paid items free etc (ubi might get upset)
yep for sure. I've got maya so I was going to see if I could figure out how to import edited models.
it seems like all the ones so far are just making parts of the asset transparent via retexturing, but no actual custom models yet. Unless I missed something!
yeah thats all everything is rn (and moving models that have been hidden away in gamefiles) bc nobody has access to maya or wants to pay $59834928 for it
yeah Maya is pretty expensive. just trying to figure out this mgraphobject format
looks like the star wars outlaws modders are also just doing model swaps so far
gorgeous
literally cannot compete
pls i LOVE your mods
tseyks -> s-tier modder
Facts
Precious 
real
i have an idea for the different clans that I'm gonna work on but i'm looking though hunter to see if i can find the npc skin or something close
Hey, I don't have hunter yet and I have no idea how it works either, in the meantime, could someone send me the dds file of this shirt pls? I'd like to try something
when I look for it, I only end up with the mods I downloaded, I can't find the original texture. I'm a bit stupid when it comes to dealing with files and stuff...
Do you have Hunter? You need it to extract the game's files
Is there anything you’re confused about? I’ve been using a guide I found on Reddit, it shows you each layer and which pattern belongs to that layer so you aren’t just guessing
I don't, yet, that's why I was asking if someone could send me the dds of this shirt for now
yes and no i also saw the guilde on reddit but tbh i'm kinda dumb when it comes to it
I recommend using coolors and inputting all the unmodded colors and using a reference photo of the OG skin, that helps me when the patterns don’t match any guides
I'll try that thank you
Np
Trial and error lol
But seriously, you'll learn over time. I have a 10x4 grid on a drawing app that has the body and head colors of the original skin on one side and the colors I've put to the new skin on the other. That lets me make sure the colors don't clash with each other, and with a reference of the skin I can somewhat easily see where each color would go
Iirc the app also shows the hex code
And the reference I use is either a picture of the original skin or how the skin looks in-game at that moment
@strong pilot would you happen to have the dds ? 👉 👈 👀
ooh yeahh thank you so much !!
what other color should i use?
I'd use a red-ish orange
okay
Oooo Like making like a fire ikran
ooooo
i have a question
this what i have so far
the head on this looks awesome
the way the teal markings fade is really unique and pretty
uhhh some npcs use the same skin tone as player. i edited a skin tone and now like half of the zeswa is a dark grey with black stripes
if ur going for a specific npc then probably though
Ok i'll see what i can do with them
I also have edited skin tones but i havent seen them affect the npcs
it worked and i just did not get a chance to respond
depends on the skin tone, i’ve only ever seen my modded tones on the zeswa. like random zeswa looking npcs in some areas
the reused npcs u see everywhere
Oh Lol
here's an update with the head
i want to edit nor and Teylan , Ri'nela to have the same kinda skin tone as Ngewì
not yet still working on it
but avintic ill let you know when im done
i'm done with this one
somehow even better, I am completely in love with the blue-teal-green fade it's so vibrant and eye catching
i have the file if you want to use it it replace jungle green ^v^
Here you go anyone can use it ^v^
working on my second one
second one done
How do ppl mod ikran skins aaaa
Another one done ^u^
Is there a tutorial somehere how to mod ikran skins?
yeah i can send you the link where i found a guide on reddit
Please! Thank you so much <3
bro y’all’s ikran skins are 🤌 💯
Would something babyblue white be possible?
very pastel colored?
yeah i can see what i can do
Tysm <3
i dont think i like this one
i’d change the main orange color
Do you want differnt shade of blue or what
Ill see what i can do
that is your catchphrase and i am here for it
Lol
Here you go ill get file in a min
If you need me to put it on another skin let me know
has anyone come across the file that controls the materials in the cosmetic overrides
Could someone help? So on another PC I redownload all the mods (including the mod loader and the other thing it needs to work), and none of it seems to be working?
transparent ikran hahah
getting closer to understanding how the masks work and are read!
removed the underlying pattern from the great games ikran skin.
fully glowing ikran!
patternless ikran!
ikran with fully patterned belly and underside of wings
That's really cool!
been trying to figure out what's actually controlling the ikran patterns themselves. been a bit difficult
i can imagine
I can add and remove pattern areas, but the actual squiggly lines are packed masks that might be in the proprietary format. but I'll keep looking.
okay!
heya @woeful trail are you super familiar with the ikrans?
for example, do you know if certain ikrans have different bioluminescent patterns?
i think there all the same
interesting. I think there might be some unused assets here then, because there's 3 different glow patterns.
i can double check
can you take me 1 top down view with a fully glowy ikran at night time?
ill try swapping it out with a possibly unreleased one
gotcha let me try and see if I can get this new version working
yeah this is definitely different! @woeful trail
wow
so theres 2 extra unused ikran glow patterns
welll now thanks to mods they can be used!
i wonder what other things theyve cut from the game
ill be sure to take a look through
I’m so sorry but can somebody help me with this? It’s super frustrating and idk what I did wrong 😭
Hm I'm not sure what could cause it but if i were you i would install one by one slowly and double check everything just to make sure
I would need more information to help out, maybe if you could take a screenshot of your avatar installation? are you on steam or the ubisoft launcher?
I’m on the Ubisoft!! I’ll have to take a photo on my phone
Do you need the photo of the files?
sure, the directory to where the files are is important
kinda like that
and i'm assuming you have already put the "version.dll" and "version.ini" into your AFOP folder
OH CRAP do we need to do both?? I only put “version.dll” in there last time
And it worked 😭
Lol
I love that one! Omg
THESE ARE SOOO PRETTY
sure let me just do the head too
thank u so much ur amazing
Okay yeah both versions are in the afop file now, ima open the game and see if it works
what i'm working one
looks amazing Ghost
Thank you
want me to send you over the files to remove the belly white colours?
yes please
arg that's annoying. the two colors are different between head and body
IT WORKED LETS GOOO
Sweet
glad it works!
not sure if i love this one
fully coloured undersides + extra glowy night time patterns
wow just wow
really annoying how the head glowing colours are just different from the body
i love it
ill see if I can get an entry up for nexusmods
alr
@charred shell here's the glowy textures. put these into the location:
\blue\baked\characterart\wildlife\banshee\wildlife_banshee_01
THIS IS SO SICK THANK U SK MUCH
np let me know how it goes
it works
wow looks awesome!
I can make you a custom ikran skin if you want!
ooo that's super kind of you to offer
Though I will be ok for now! Just going to focus on getting textures working for the ikrans and stuff!
Okay!
How do yall change your Ikrans color btw?
i use hunter and search for mcolorpattern and all that show's up i extract and start changing the color's
sometimes they come out the way i want the other times not so much
will let u know tmw!! i’m not on rn lmfao and can’t get on
just published it as a mod yay. https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/276
I’m a bit confused on how to do that, sadly 😭
Oooh!!
so many pretty birbs 🌟
awesome, I am getting closer to doing custom skins!
smileyface :D
it works!
@woeful trail
you can draw onskins now?
yep! I figured out how it all works
you mind telling me how?
Sure, but it's a bit complicated
i slept well so i am ready
custom ikran paints on the way??? 😮
- extract
wl_banshee_body_pc.dds
It's a red/green/blue/alpha packed texture, but you can make edits on the texture - Make your edits
- put it in
\blue\baked\characterart\sharedtexture
correct
i haven't figured out exactly which channel does what yet
let me try
if i figure it out
i can send it
Sure. I believe there are multiple textures that combine together depending on the skin
For example, texture 1 is used for the base
and then red channel of texture 2 is used for the pattern
mhm
so in order to do
idk
flower
i would have to do the same thing
on all of the colors
red green blue
Yes I think so.
it just interacts strangely
just need to do process of elimitation to figure out each channel and what it does for each skin
i was wondering
i can help u w that
i can mjust make all white skin
erase one color
boot up the game
yk what i mean?
with my stripy test texture this is what my ikran skins look like.
you can see some skins are more impacted than others
mhm
soit changes
all of them
okay thats interesting
but also
lowk bad
but dayum tiger skin
i am trying to make
rideable thanator
but
i am scared it wnt work
i am looking throughthe files tho
i saw someone tried it
but it didnt give theoption
it just replaced all direhorses with thanators
yeah
so i am thinking more
makingit non agressive
and somehow putting
seating on it
thus why i am looking thru the files
no clue. I think replacting the direhorses with thanators is more likely to work
is there a dedicated modding discord for this game anywhere?
I'm going to try my hand at making a detailed ikran mod that improves the textures
Not that I’m aware of, modding is still very new for this game
I can make one tho if that’s something people would be interested in
i'm in if there will be enough people for that. it's personally only about being necessary? cause i feel this chat is clean/smol enuf for us already, sharing our works etc.
but definitly a valid idea
Sure! I'll make one now. I mostly wanted to share resources and modding tips
Oh that'll be helpful!
might be worth posting a link on the afop modding reddit too
awesome I just created the server. but I can't send a link in this channel
https://discord.gg/ MMj7jcEaN6
just remove the space
hey I have a weird bug and Idk what's causing it, it only happens when I hold a bow on my ikran (stationary flight), am I the only one with this bug ?
it doesn't look very comfortable :/
You are not
I reported it in one of the threads on the ubi
Is there a way to completely get rid of all mods? I read somewhere verifying the game files should remove them all but it didnt for me hmm
Nvm had to delete the BLUE folder then validate and then start the game
wow looks fantastic!
has anyone done a video on how to install the ikran skin replacement mods?
cause i think i need a visual 😭
hey there try this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwKB3MtFyW8

does anyone know the exact file name for nefikas great games waistcloth? i want to edit it but cannot for the life of me find the dds
this one
which part do you want to edit? the cloth part?
yep the cloth ideally
ill find it for you! ^^i have a mod that removes the underpart of the waistcloth as well, if you wanted to get rid of that also
g_rnf_waist_loincloth_01_d
oh, tysm! i also have a mod which removes the underpart of the dyer waistcloth, so since the great games one is basically identical i wanted to edit this seperately
perfect ill search for this in hunter
this only edits the cloth part, but the dyer waistcloth and nefikas share the same texture file fyi
np ^^
hey! hate to take any more of your time, but i was wondering if you know which file id need to recolour the unaffected light blue and brown parts?
i think its g_rnf_waist_base_04
i havent tried recoloring that myself but should work
oh thanks so much!
hope it works ^^
i was able to find the file and recolour it, though im not entirely sure which path to use since its name is different from the loincloth
i'll find it
oh, i found it ! no need
tysm for your help 🙏
oh great ^^
sure thing ☺️
if u could make one recoloured to like a deep red i would love u forever
cause i have no idea how to LMFAOOO
i could definitely try !
aww that would be so kind of you! i have been trying to get a nice deep blue like this one from FusRoNoh, but lighter if possible?
yes! i could do that. lighter in saturation or lighter in lightness?
like a sortve blood red like 🩸
the darker end of it
at the top
wait if ur on oc it’ll look diff LMFAO
one second
yeah it just looks light red LOL
either of these
okay!! that works
ok sounds good, ill try these out
thank u!! i’ll get ur eyes done in a little bit
which eye colour would u like replaced? or does it not matter lmfao
i find my numbers always switch up so maybe just try and replace the very orangey ones?
atm theyre 01 in my game
@charred shell also just wondering if this is too dark?
no that’s gorgeous!! tysm
oh great! ok ill finish up some little details and send it over
working on another skin
@jolly elm \
these are beautiful! wow thank you
here are the files
the path in your game directory should be blue\baked\characterart\gear\player\rnf\waist\base\g_rnf_waist_loincloth_01\textures and the same but g_rnf_waist_base_04\textures for the other
tysm 🙏
no problem ! thank you
