Mmmh the reshade looks really nice, I thought of getting a reshade mod too but I'm scared it might ask too much for my poor gaming laptop to handle

glossy knoll
glossy knoll
#

when i downloaded reshade

#

even on gta

#

and gta is like

#

making my computer burn

brittle garnet
# glossy knoll

It's the waistcloth you retextured for your Tsahik outfit no?

glossy knoll
#

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,

brittle garnet
#

Why do you keep having issues like that XD

#

What did you doooo

glossy knoll
#

i wish i knew too

#

thats the fun part.

#

nothing,

brittle garnet
glossy knoll
#

yeah

brittle garnet
#

Yes

#

Okey that's good to know

glossy knoll
#

thats how i did the full green look

#

i changed the belt and the beads

brittle garnet
#

Okey, have have tested to remove the drap from the back to make it more like the ones we see in the movies?

brittle garnet
#

Oh nice

glossy knoll
#

but i didnt do any like

#

movie cloth

#

i can though

#

this one spec?

brittle garnet
#

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

glossy knoll
#

cloth w/out the bottom part

#

any color u want or

brittle garnet
#

So now I struggle a bit with the conservative aspect of each outfit we have in game

glossy knoll
#

wdmy

#

wdym

brittle garnet
#

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

brittle garnet
# glossy knoll wdym

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

glossy knoll
glossy knoll
#

since the in game are just

#

too chonky

brittle garnet
glossy knoll
brittle garnet
#

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

glossy knoll
#

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

brittle garnet
glossy knoll
#

i am deciding between these two rn

glossy knoll
#

i am leaning more towards the neytiri one

#

but idk work equally long atp

#

and the collar is impossible

#

so idk

brittle garnet
glossy knoll
#

yeah the hells gate one

#

works wonders

#

but i can never make it fit what i need

#

sadly.

#

BUT this one could work

brittle garnet
#

Yeah a shame they put such a beautiful necklace with an rda fit

glossy knoll
#

its not abt that its just

#

u cant customize it

#

like ifi could do outfits

#

complete models

brittle garnet
glossy knoll
brittle garnet
glossy knoll
#

u cant edit it completely

brittle garnet
#

Oooh okey

glossy knoll
#

like the collar part

#

of the neytiri top w that

#

if i could it’d be nice

brittle garnet
#

It would be yes

glossy knoll
#

so sadly i need to do tops that dont have collars

brittle garnet
#

But you could do something that kinda looks like it even if it's not connected ?

glossy knoll
#

but it wont kill me to try

brittle garnet
#

I mean when you don't know what to do, you could always test things out like that

urban quarry
glossy knoll
#

i can do the blue one

#

100%

#

not sure abt neytiri :,)

urban quarry
# glossy knoll not sure abt neytiri :,)

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

urban quarry
# brittle garnet 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

glossy knoll
#

the collar is kinda impossible

urban quarry
#

oooo i see

urban quarry
#

got it

brittle garnet
#

Btw, @glossy knoll if you want some more references for Neytiri's top

glossy knoll
#

i lowk want to do piercings

#

also impossible cus ubosoft

brittle garnet
#

Trying to get a picture but my phone's being a b*tch

glossy knoll
#

feel u

brittle garnet
#

This might help

urban quarry
#

probly i have to

#

just do it

#

and see

brittle garnet
#

Yeah, go for it !

urban quarry
#

alrite, new years plans saved

glossy knoll
brittle garnet
#

Has anyone tried making this top ?

glossy knoll
#

not yer

#

yet

#

but its pretty

pine oracle
#

was a pain in my ass

#

but i could probably try again now that i know more

pine oracle
glossy knoll
#

got the top

river hornet
glossy knoll
#

i feel like it loks too

#

paperish

mint snow
#

You could maybe try changing the _n to get slightly different textures

river hornet
fringe compass
# glossy knoll paperish

I like the idea! But it does kinda look a bit pressed on 💙 (Just trying to give constructive feedback mean absolutely no harm)

glossy knoll
glossy knoll
#

i wonder if i can fix it though

glossy knoll
#

trust me LOL

#

its pixelated af

#

look

fringe compass
glossy knoll
#

but thats kinda impossible

#

ill try

#

and ty!

mint snow
#

Do you think upscaling is an option? Ik that can end in a smooth mess

glossy knoll
#

reshade off

glossy knoll
#

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

mint snow
#

They're programs that give images more pixels
Usually the ones I see use ai of some sort to do it

glossy knoll
#

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

river hornet
river hornet
glossy knoll
#

bruh i am clueless

#

i never do rlly texture maps

#

i just

#

try

#

trial and error

#

because then i get

#

confused

river hornet
#

looks like a negative version of the texture

#

in the files lol

glossy knoll
#

hmm

#

let me see

glossy knoll
#

this?

#

this?

#

or this

river hornet
glossy knoll
#

okay

#

never done that

#

pray for me

river hornet
#

sometimes theres one thats yellow as well

glossy knoll
#

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.

river hornet
#

just cut out the shape of the top and keep that i think

glossy knoll
#

oooo

subtle nova
#

Which reshade is that?

glossy knoll
#

i feel

glossy knoll
#

like its worse lowk

#

causes weird shadows

subtle nova
glossy knoll
#

from nexus

#

i have it there its called gloomy

#

but i have to update it since

subtle nova
#

Awesome thank you!

glossy knoll
#

this is updated version

#

if you want i can send the updated here

subtle nova
#

I would love that 🩵

glossy knoll
#

okay holdup

#

@river hornet see the weird distortion after i did the n file?

#

i think this should be it

subtle nova
#

Thank you!

glossy knoll
#

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

river hornet
glossy knoll
#

that sucks

#

i wish it looked more realistic

#

but ig i cant be picky bcs ubisoft

river hornet
glossy knoll
#

tysm <3

solid knoll
#

Have to check what it was exactly

glossy knoll
#

i tried to like

#

do it once again

#

i think its just the file itself

solid knoll
#

Hang on, I can actually recreate it right now, taking some screenshots

glossy knoll
#

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

solid knoll
#

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

glossy knoll
#

oh

#

so

#

there rn

#

is M

#

N

#

and D

#

file only

#

but the d file is male version

#

not the female one

solid knoll
glossy knoll
#

so only available files in this case

solid knoll
#

Had to make them match when I was removing things

glossy knoll
#

are n and d

#

m

#

i am lost

#

D_F

#

and F_N

#

the rest is male

#

sry

solid knoll
#

What are the file names so I can take a look at them real quick

glossy knoll
#

uh holdup

solid knoll
#

See whats going on with the different male and female ones

glossy knoll
#

its just mirrorred

#

let me check

#

g_tap_torso_base_01_f_d

solid knoll
#

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

glossy knoll
#

so id appreciate somehelp lol tysm

solid knoll
#

I've not actually tried doing clothes before so this is gonna be interesting

glossy knoll
#

its quite fun

#

if nothing like thishappens ofc

solid knoll
#

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

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

rigid perch
#

Oh okay so do we replace it now?

brittle garnet
# lunar agate and i sent this message here too just in case (i originally sent it in another t...

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 year gang

pine oracle
#

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

solid knoll
#

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?

subtle nova
#

I installed a new reshade preset and updated reshade itself and it's not applying to my ingame screenshots, am I missing something?

fringe compass

Because it doesnt

#

@subtle nova

subtle nova

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 !

pine oracle
#

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

pine oracle
#

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

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)

Part two of recreating Ryder's stripe options, having fun and going insane at the same time

woeful trail
#

i have a question

pine oracle
#

shoot ur question

woeful trail
#

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?

pine oracle
#

some parts of modding are p easy, others a bit more difficult, just depends what youre trying to do

woeful trail
#

yeah I'm trying to make stripes myself I've watch zeb video on the textures and stuff

pine oracle
#

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

woeful trail
#

Ah thank you tseyks, very much appreciative

pine oracle
woeful trail
woeful trail
#

so i've made the stripes but im having a hard time trying to fit them into place lol

woeful trail
woeful trail
#

i have another question 😅

woeful trail
#

so i drew my stripe pattern how do i convert it into the game?

pine oracle
#

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

woeful trail
#

Ah thank you again Tseyks 🤭

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

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 ?

river hornet
mint snow
brittle garnet
#

oh okey, good to know

#

things that can't go transparent depends on the models right, some can while others can't ?

mint snow
#

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

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

mint snow
#

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

charred shell
#

thanks!!

mint snow
#

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

charred shell

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

mint snow
#

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 :]

depends what ur idea is

#

Like the champions headpiece because that one is really lacking in detail

pine oracle
#

thats true

#

that piece is a bit..boring imo

shy sand
#

This sort of has the same shape without the little pieces so like something with a better texture even

shy sand
# pine oracle that piece is a bit..boring imo

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

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

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.

wheat roost
#

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

pine oracle
wheat roost
#

awesome I'll take a look

pine oracle
#

just be mindful to not make paid items free etc (ubi might get upset)

wheat roost
#

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!

pine oracle
#

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

wheat roost
#

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

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

brittle garnet
#

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

urban quarry
#

if someone can confirm, not 100% sure

brittle garnet
#

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...

strong pilot
#

Do you have Hunter? You need it to extract the game's files

gilded ember

Np

strong pilot
#

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

woeful trail
#

alr

#

Thank you both for the advice

brittle garnet
#

@strong pilot would you happen to have the dds ? 👉 👈 👀

brittle garnet
#

ooh yeahh thank you so much !!

woeful trail
#

strong pilot
#

I'd use a red-ish orange

woeful trail
#

#

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?

wheat roost
#

has anyone done custom banshee skin textures yet?

#

not just color swaps

wheat roost
#

transparent ikran hahah

wheat roost
#

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

woeful trail
#

That's really cool!

wheat roost
#

been trying to figure out what's actually controlling the ikran patterns themselves. been a bit difficult

woeful trail
#

i can imagine

wheat roost
#

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.

woeful trail
#

okay!

wheat roost
#

heya @woeful trail are you super familiar with the ikrans?

#

for example, do you know if certain ikrans have different bioluminescent patterns?

woeful trail
#

i think there all the same

wheat roost
#

interesting. I think there might be some unused assets here then, because there's 3 different glow patterns.

woeful trail
#

i can double check

wheat roost
#

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

woeful trail
#

yeah

wheat roost
#

gotcha let me try and see if I can get this new version working

#

yeah this is definitely different! @woeful trail

woeful trail
#

wow

wheat roost
#

so theres 2 extra unused ikran glow patterns

woeful trail
#

welll now thanks to mods they can be used!

#

i wonder what other things theyve cut from the game

wheat roost
#

ill be sure to take a look through

rigid perch
woeful trail
#

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

wheat roost
rigid perch
#

I’m on the Ubisoft!! I’ll have to take a photo on my phone

#

Do you need the photo of the files?

wheat roost
#

sure, the directory to where the files are is important

charred shell
wheat roost
#

and i'm assuming you have already put the "version.dll" and "version.ini" into your AFOP folder

rigid perch
#

OH CRAP do we need to do both?? I only put “version.dll” in there last time

#

And it worked 😭

woeful trail
#

Lol

wheat roost
#

hmm maybe doublecheck the tutorial then

#

just make sure you follow it exactly

woeful trail
charred shell
#

PLEASEEE it’s so beautiful

rigid perch
wheat roost
#

sure let me just do the head too

charred shell
rigid perch
woeful trail
#

what i'm working one

wheat roost
#

looks amazing Ghost

woeful trail
#

Thank you

wheat roost
#

want me to send you over the files to remove the belly white colours?

woeful trail
#

yes please

wheat roost
#

arg that's annoying. the two colors are different between head and body

woeful trail
#

OMG

woeful trail
wheat roost
#

glad it works!

woeful trail
#

not sure if i love this one

wheat roost
#

fully coloured undersides + extra glowy night time patterns

woeful trail
#

😱

#

OMG I LOVE IT!

wheat roost
#

but I kept it so the mouth still has the flesh colors

woeful trail
#

wow just wow

wheat roost
#

really annoying how the head glowing colours are just different from the body

woeful trail
#

i love it

wheat roost
#

ill see if I can get an entry up for nexusmods

woeful trail
#

alr

wheat roost
#

@charred shell here's the glowy textures. put these into the location:
\blue\baked\characterart\wildlife\banshee\wildlife_banshee_01

charred shell
#

THIS IS SO SICK THANK U SK MUCH

wheat roost
#

np let me know how it goes

woeful trail
wheat roost
#

awesome!

#

ill upload one to nexusmods in a bit that is JUST the clearer undersides

woeful trail
#

Okay

wheat roost
#

wow looks awesome!

woeful trail
#

I can make you a custom ikran skin if you want!

wheat roost
#

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!

woeful trail
#

Okay!

rigid perch
#

How do yall change your Ikrans color btw?

woeful trail
#

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

charred shell

#

#

it works!

#

@woeful trail

glossy knoll
wheat roost
#

yep! I figured out how it all works

glossy knoll
#

you mind telling me how?

wheat roost
#

Sure, but it's a bit complicated

glossy knoll
river hornet
#

custom ikran paints on the way??? 😮

wheat roost
#
  1. extract wl_banshee_body_pc.dds
    It's a red/green/blue/alpha packed texture, but you can make edits on the texture
  2. Make your edits
  3. put it in \blue\baked\characterart\sharedtexture
glossy knoll
wheat roost
#

i haven't figured out exactly which channel does what yet

glossy knoll
#

if i figure it out

#

i can send it

wheat roost
#

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

glossy knoll
#

mhm

#

so in order to do

#

idk

#

flower

#

i would have to do the same thing

#

on all of the colors

#

red green blue

wheat roost
#

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

glossy knoll
#

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?

wheat roost
#

you can see some skins are more impacted than others

glossy knoll
#

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

wheat roost
#

oh interesting

#

replace direhorse with thanator?

glossy knoll
#

i saw someone tried it

#

but it didnt give theoption

#

it just replaced all direhorses with thanators

wheat roost
#

yeah

glossy knoll
#

so i am thinking more

#

makingit non agressive

#

and somehow putting

#

seating on it

#

thus why i am looking thru the files

wheat roost
#

no clue. I think replacting the direhorses with thanators is more likely to work

wheat roost
#

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

pine oracle
#

I can make one tho if that’s something people would be interested in

urban quarry
#

but definitly a valid idea

wheat roost
#

Sure! I'll make one now. I mostly wanted to share resources and modding tips

urban quarry
#

Oh that'll be helpful!

pine oracle
#

might be worth posting a link on the afop modding reddit too

wheat roost
#

awesome I just created the server. but I can't send a link in this channel

#

just remove the space

brittle garnet
#

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 :/

mint snow
#

You are not
I reported it in one of the threads on the ubi

brittle garnet
#

oh okey good

#

I mean good not to be the only one haha

fringe compass
#

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
