Modding

[restive prawn]

i did that and was confsued for 3 days on why nothing would work

[delicate trellis]

You mean these two? And put them into the AFOP folder?

[restive prawn]

uhhhh

yes

do that

[delicate trellis]

Thanks!

And what if I wanna download a mod now?

[restive prawn]

uhhh

pray

[restive prawn]

99% of the time, the mod page has instructions on where to put the mod.
youre going to end up making a dozen folders lol

[delicate trellis]

I found an eyelash mod, it is saying that I need to grab the Blue folder from the Eyelash mod and put it into the Game Directory, do they mean the AFOP Folder? Also do I need to extract the zip folder from the eyelash mod?

[restive prawn]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
yes extract
and yes stick the blue in the afop folder

-# i am not a modding expert so take my advice with a cup of salt

[delicate trellis]

Comeon, you are doing a good job xD

[restive prawn]

dude i fought with mods for many days before i figured it out

its a lot of opening and closing the game to see if it worked

and i am stubborn and refused to ask for help

[delicate trellis]

Atleast you found it out by yourself, that is quite good and you can obtain confident by that tbh

If I want another mod, do I just have to do the same?

[restive prawn]

uhhh it becomes a bit different. cuz idk if u can have 2 blue folders and not every mod comes with a blue

[delicate trellis]

Ahh okay, thanks alot ✨

[restive prawn]

good luck dude

[delicate trellis]

Ty
Are these the only mods in Nexus mods? 😆

[restive prawn]

wdym? theres many mods?? do u have the filters set to uhh new or popular recently?

[delicate trellis]

Oh wait

[delicate trellis]

Oh yeah, my bad lol

[restive prawn]

loll

[delicate trellis]

Im losing my mind lol
I am trying to download one of these Skins ( https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/291?tab=description ) for my Ikran and I don't know which one it is and how exactly it works, I am stuck at step 3

[restive prawn]

Wdym? Which part of 3 r u stuck at?

[delicate trellis]

The one with the Folders and Files

[restive prawn]

Uhhh pick which one you want the thing to replace
I’d pick either 03 or 04 unless you have the other 3 ikran patterns and wanna replace one of those

[delicate trellis]

Oh, you saved my life today again, thanks lol

[restive prawn]

Lol no problem i downloaded one of those skins a while ago

[urban quarry]

[pulsar trail]

Might figure out how to make ikran skins

[urban quarry]

🫡

[grim rivet]

does anyone have a tut on retexturing hair in the game?

[drowsy nexus]

Heyy, i wanted to ask if anybody knows how to have 2 skins for pali

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/336?tab=description

Heres my problem:
I have the pink pali skin on the young version, now i want to add the black and white one (link) to the adult one. Is that even posible?

currently very confused ( now 2 adult and young are the same skin, idk why)

[strong pilot]

Make sure you only have the V2! Delete or rename V1 and V3

[urban quarry]

‘Neytiri’s Hallelujah Battle Top’ made by @tame path: https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/341

[tame path]

YEEEE

[river hornet]

omg

[dusky temple]

these tops r really pretty but im having trouble getting them to work
you drop the picture from the mod into the textures folder, right?

[urban quarry]

make sure the folder pathing is correct

usually I upload the mods with correct pathing already

[dusky temple]

ill quadruple check but i think it's right

[urban quarry]

Universal Snowdrop Modloader installed aswell?

[dusky temple]

yes

all my other mods are working fine it's just this one that's giving me issues rn

let me try smth real fast and ill tell you whether or not it works lol

bc the pathing is correct

nnope

did not work

[urban quarry]

you also got the mgraph file?

@tame path

[dusky temple]

is the mgraph file the dds texture? im not familiarized w all the file terms yet

[urban quarry]

this one is needed

bcuz

that tap shirt itself is not available ingame after the "tutorial" quests

this file changes the "rebel chest "guard" being replaced with the TAP shirt

[dusky temple]

i might be slow omg

im doing the wrong file

i was doing a different top file

hold up let me try this all over again LOL

[urban quarry]

nw

[dusky temple]

ok yeah im not sure what's happening

still not working

troubleshooting smth if im optimistic this will work i swear

[restive prawn]

hopes and prayers bro

[urban quarry]

hm

having both files with their needed pathing works just fine

for me

[dusky temple]

im gonna

clear out all the modified files

and redownload them

and see

[urban quarry]

ye afop modding is alot of filemanagement tho

[dusky temple]

99% of the time i have trouble with mods it's my own stupid error so im gonna assume that's what it is and retry

[dusky temple]

fr

i uh

tried modding ikran skins

and nearly downloaded a trojan in the meantime

LOL

[urban quarry]

💀

[dusky temple]

ykw i got the skins to work though so

win win

agony

still not working

so! i will try the other shirt that i was goofing with and hope that one works

wait the graph objects folder is named graph objcets

IT WORKS

[dusky temple]

i figure youd wanna be informed

in the files right from the download, graph objects is named graph objcets

and i feel like that's what was goofing it up?

[tame path]

Yeah I can do that lol

[river hornet]

tysm

[tame path]

Would everyone like it to be lowered? I can throw in a second version if so, individualized if only a few want it

[river hornet]

yes lowered like 2-3 bead rows maybe?💙

[tame path]

Sounds good, will work on it soon

[urban quarry]

gud stuff

[urban quarry]

heading to bed now - just send it over whenever you're done for the modpage

[tame path]

Sounds good

[tame path]

also if anyone wants a different color feel free to shoot me a message- this is the only color that will be on the modpage and I can’t covert to .dds, so you’ll have to use paint.net for what I’ll send you since it’s .png

[urban quarry]

gonna add it tommorow as soon as i'm able to

[urban quarry]

[cursive fossil]

How do I install the ACES reshade? Instructions are very vague.

Nice but can you not post nudity on the discord? And yes, that counts.

@oak mulch

Modmail is blocking my messages

[river hornet]

so sorry, ill remove the post

[cerulean sigil]

Download the latest version of Reshade first, Reshade is just a universal shaders program you can use on a LOT of games, they have their own website

There's an addon support version, but I avoided getting that one because I dont know if Ubisoft will flag it as cheating software or not (it isnt, but some games anticheat dont like the full add-on support version) and I haven't experienced any artifacting

Then, place ACES, which is a preset for reshade, into at least the game directory, but you have some leeway in where you put it, as you can find the file in the reshade HOME key menu

Once you've placed the preset (.ini file) into the game directory, boot up the game, and wait for reshade to load. Once it's finished, press your "HOME" key, or whatever your home keybind is to bring up the reshade menu, select the dropdown at the top of the menu, and search for the ACES ini file. Double click that, and it'll activate ACES! you dont have to mess with reshade from there unless you wanna do some custom tinkering for your own effects

aces is the preset I use personally and the difference is SIGNIFICANT, couldnt imagine playing without it atp

[cursive fossil]

Game directory is where afop.exe is right?

[cerulean sigil]

yeah

[cursive fossil]

Perfect

[dusky temple]

so ive seen a mod that changes the skin color

and

now im curious if i can make a bit of an edit to na'vi skins and give the option for a human-toned skin color on a na'vi

i feel like thatd be really funny

progress

if anyone knows how to get rid of the blue thatd be highly appreciated

this is mostly a gag so i dont care that much but god itd be really funny

nvm i think it has to do w the saturation of the skin

"so how's modding going"

[glossy moth]

So, someone once mentioned about having a mod manager for the game and then I stumbled upon Vortex, a Nexus Mods' mod manager thing but it was lacking support for A:FoP.
Well, I found out about making extensions to it and just made an extension to add support for A:FoP 😁
https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/1237

[nimble cedar]

The texture itself for navi npcs has a minor blue tint to it. You could colour shift the texture files and then edit the hex colour codes of both the stripes and base body

[dusky temple]

ooh okay, i assume these would be different files than the skin customization ones ive been playing around with?

i might do some digging in the files later but there's zero guarantee ill find what im looking for

[nimble cedar]

If I had my PC I would tell you what they're called but sadly I can't remember their name. My advice, find a mod that edits skintone and stripes on the nexus and see what the file names are. For the hexes, it's the same colour editing process as you'd do for an ikran skin

You should be able to theoretically achieve a human-skin Na'vi this way hahah

[dusky temple]

i was considering doing this but i wasnt sure, thank you though ^^ if i cant find anything ill just try a really bright orange and hope color theory cancels it out to something skintoney

[urban quarry]

you need the snowdrop modloader (dll files) in there at first. after, depending on the mods you wanna try, you either have to create the file pathing on your own or mods already have the correct pathings sorted by just dragging the blue folder in there. slightly differs between the creators.

ye can be. could also just be typo. mind sharing an example which mod you tried?

you don't need to create the afop folder

it all starts with the blue folder in there

you create this exact pathing

and drop the downloaded and unziped folder in there

everything before afop is irrelevant

this is how it should be (in this case being steam)

yup

just add them to all the other dll stuff

[glossy moth]

-# a bit of self-promotion but...
if you need help installing mods you can try this thing 👆 😁

[cerulean sigil]

vortex is a notoriously bad mod manager actually. It used to be decent back when it was called Nexus Mod Manager, but the rebrand to Vortex didn't just rebrand it, but made it really broken. I still hear from others that's still the case, and you're better off going manual, or using fanmade MMs unique to each game you want to mod

I'm unaware if it's improved or not, and I'm weary of vortex in general since my own experiences have quite literally made games unplayable before

[restive prawn]

-# i upvote while having no idea what this is about but youre using smart words that i like

[cerulean sigil]

like, I couldn't salvage the games unplayable, because it broke something semi permenantly that nobody could find nor could I, and I had to reset my system to fix it

[cerulean sigil]

TL;DR nexus mod manager used to be a fairly decent go-to mod manager with a lot of functional QoL stuff, over time it was outshown by other fanmade alternatives for their respective games (Oblivion being the best example of the one game to never use NMM with). Then, they rebranded to Vortex Mod Manager, which had a ton of bugs and I think it was supposed to have the same QoL, but everything was highkey broken and they moved everything around.

My own personal experience with the MM after the rebrand was it just permanently broke Skyrim, We ruled out interference from anywhere else, but after uninstalling and reinstalling everything and the game still being bricked, I had to wipe my pc and start over from scratch to get Skyrim working again. Haven't and won't touch Vortex since, now I just do manual modding if there isn't a fan-upkept MM

[restive prawn]

omg thank u for more smart words

[cerulean sigil]

On the bright side that incident pushed me to learn how to mod Oblivion by myself, and that's taught me a ton of knowledge for modding a lot of other games since Oblivion is a tough nut to crack

[glossy moth]

hmm I see, although I haven't had any issues so far. But since it's my first time using it I may not know how better or worse it was before 🤔

[restive prawn]

i like ur funny words magic peoples

[glossy moth]

it has an option to use synlinks instead copying files and stuff and for me it has been working fine with AFoP

[cerulean sigil]

I would imagine because A:FOP only really has texture replacer mods, Vortex wouldn't have anything to break, since it's simple "override xyz file" stuff

I would love to see unofficial patches for A:FOP. I'm still wondering how viable that is

it desperately needs bug patches

[glossy moth]

I see

yeah it supports scripting and stuff but I haven't seen anyone using such things beside that file cache thing

the mod loader dll I mean

oh also, in the extension I made for Vortex I had to code how the files are managed (what files goes where) then that might be less troublesome maybe

[pulsar trail]

Theres a mod that helps the game run on hard drives

[mint snow]

Also some gameplay-altering ones

[cerulean sigil]

What's the gameplay altering ones 🤔

get the gameplay altering homies on bug patching STAT

[restive prawn]

I use one that makes the rifle easier to use. Does that count as gameplay altering?

[mint snow]

Things like on-foot oob disable, changing incoming/outgoing damage, player speed, weapon effects

[restive prawn]

crunchy

[mint snow]

Oh also some people figured out how to force specific NPCs to spawn after events where they're supposed to not appear anymore

[restive prawn]

awesome

[tacit flame]

i really wanted to find the melee damage files but i couldnt

[acoustic loom]

so uh, i started a new save file and

would anyone perhaps know how to find the cause of this? im trying to avoid purging all my mods and redownloading them lol

[restive prawn]

lmao

[pine oracle]

gna be an mgraphobject file that's causing it, go into AFOP\blue\graph objects\gear and you're looking for a file named g_rnf_torso_base_03_m, delete that and it'll set his shirt back to normal, it might be g_rnf_torso_base_03_m_low or g_rnf_torso_base_03_m_lq - delete those too

you might need to restart your game to fix it tho

[acoustic loom]

that did the trick, thanks!

[jagged dune]

I got a new ssd card for the pc and now NONE of my mods work

[restive prawn]

[jagged dune]

Rip my albino Navi

[mint snow]

If that's just storage I can only imagine that something isn't in the right location

[dusky temple]

curious whether or not anyone would know if the stripes turning blue is something that can be adjusted

i know the tint of the skin can be adjusted but im not sure about the stripes

[mint snow]

That is actually quite odd-looking
Is that something happening in vanilla?

[dusky temple]

i have a few mods on, one that deals with the texture and one that deals with the actual skintone

i would assume this is just intentional though

[mint snow]

Yeah, I'd say it's a mismatch between head and body if it weren't for it extending along the arms

[dusky temple]

it looks like it could be cool but it's not the design im going for

[strong pilot]

Omg, direhorse!

Dang, that's a weird channel to say it... oops

[restive prawn]

Yeah

I am still confused

[strong pilot]

About why I said direhorse (you have the role, I hadn't noticed that before) or the channel (I didn't realize which channel I was in lol)?

[restive prawn]

silly lmaoo

i yap more than u

[pearl socket]

Are there any gameplay/mechanic mods? Like not cosmetic

[restive prawn]

Uhh I use a mod that makes the rifle much easier to use, so id say yes theres gameplay/mechanic mods

[pearl socket]

Whats the website for it?

[restive prawn]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/43

[strong pilot]

Yeah, I've been pretty inactive here

Yap yap yap

new @tame path mod soon 👀

[sand prism]

i cant rn but i need help adding mods i tried to follow other videos on how to but i cant do it XD im also a hands on learner not visual

[autumn shale]

Can you use the snowdrop modloader with the steam version of AFOP?

[sand prism]

u can i just dont now how to XD but simple answer yes

[autumn shale]

Damn. Im not sure how to get the modloader to work

[tame path]

There should be a tut for pathing everything on the mod page, if you’re meaning the mod we just released

[sand prism]

nu i mean like idk if im puting it into the right folder or somthing same thing with zemma here i belive

[autumn shale]

I swear I also saw a mod for sitting here at one point?

[tame path]

Yeah the mod page has the tutorial of what folders you put the files in, that’s pathing

The file you need will change depending on which top you’re retexturing. That’s the one for the Rebel Chest Guard turning into the TAP top, and the TAP top being retextured into the designed top.

This one is for changing the Researcher Top into the designed top

The “blue” folder is, by my understanding, a folder created by you, not originally in the files, that the mod files are dropped into

It may also be included in the mod files, but I don’t have a computer so I don’t know that for a fact.

[urban quarry]

You drag and drop the files from the snowdrop modloader into the game folder ( called "AFOP", where all the other dll files are located)

[sand prism]

Thank you ;-;

[pearl socket]

Do mods have the possibility of getting you banned in afop?

What file do you place the snowdrop modloader?

I dropped it into the same folder as the AFOP.exe file, whats the next step to actually add a mod, I heard you make a blue folder?

[restive prawn]

Take the files of the snowdrop out of that folder and stick the files straight into the afop folder

Otherwise it won’t work and you’ll end up like me spending 5 days crying that mods won’t work

[pearl socket]

Like this?

[restive prawn]

Yes

And that is where my knowledge ends

[pearl socket]

Now Im adding a mod, what do I do to add it?

Ohh

[restive prawn]

Pray

To any god

And to the folder making gods

[pearl socket]

T-T

Yeah it didnt work

[restive prawn]

The prayers?

[pearl socket]

I think its an issue with the mod loader, def need someone to help me download snowdrop

I got the versions in there, but nothing happens

I think I got it to work!

Ish

One works

[glossy moth]

now you gotta have a folder called "blue" in the same folder as the main game files, mods will usually come with that folder in the package but some won't

[pearl socket]

How would I download a ikran recolor mod?

[glossy moth]

and yep, that's correct, version.dll and version.ini goes into the same folder as afop.exe and all

[pearl socket]

This is what it says

SNowdrops fine now

I got that working

But how do I download this mod? That gives ikran skins

[glossy moth]

you download a zip file with the files, then you extract the contents into a folder called blue

[pearl socket]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/209

This is the link to it

It doesnt say to put it in blue

[restive prawn]

oo pretty

[pearl socket]

and I dont have the folder its looking for (I do have the dlcs)

[glossy moth]

lemme check

[pearl socket]

I wonder if its cause I havent played the DLC yet so I dont have the gameplay folder yet

just the dlc folder

[glossy moth]

ok, that package isn't well structured

[pearl socket]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/291?tab=files What about this one

This look snormal

[glossy moth]

all mods go into a blue folder, that's where the modloader looks for likes

[pearl socket]

So I just copy the folder paths?

[glossy moth]

hold on, let me check

ok, the instructions are unclear there, other people seems to have issues with it too:
https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/209?tab=posts

[pearl socket]

Thats the other one

I picked a new one thats better formatted

And I cant seem to get it to work

This is my file path

That I made

Same as where the snowdrop loader is (I have verified the loader works with a diff mod)

[glossy moth]

that's almost that, just you can't have those folders like that. It must be like the original game files are and those are unknown to the game

[pearl socket]

It gives me this when trying to make another blue folder for the texture fix

Oh wait

Okay so

[glossy moth]

in this case, for that Smoldering Skies Ikran Skin Recolor try to put the extracted file in a folder like blue\gameplay\vanity\juice with the wildlife banshee veldt12 body color pattern.mcolorpattern file right inside juice

[pearl socket]

I replaced them

Okay gotcha

Lemme try that

Like the whole folder?

Like this?

[glossy moth]

not the folder, the contents of it. The game won't recognize "Pattern 03" like that. It's just the mod creator made that for you to pick which one you want

[pearl socket]

So drag all these contents to the juice folder?

[glossy moth]

Step 3 - installing the skins: all is left to do is to install the skins. Choose the skin you'd like to install, download its file, extract its contents (you can use WinRAR for this), open the folder, choose which skin of the 5 you'd like to replace with the mod one, open the corresponding folder, then simply drag and drop all 4 files inside the "juice" folder. You'd obviously do the same for the packs.

[pearl socket]

So I do drag the folders?

[glossy moth]

see the highlight

[pearl socket]

So those four files

[glossy moth]

yup

[pearl socket]

That I showed you

Okay testing

[glossy moth]

all the 4 files inside blue\gameplay\vanity\juice

[pearl socket]

This is now what my juice folder looks like

Didnt work, I cant pick that ikran skin

[glossy moth]

did you restart the game? Mods won't be applied while the game is running

[pearl socket]

Yeah I restarted, I m gettting very bad graphic glitches around my ikran tho

[glossy moth]

hmm

[pearl socket]

Those squares

[restive prawn]

funky.

[glossy moth]

sorry but I need to go afk for a while now, if nobody else chimes in I can try to help you better later though

[pearl socket]

Alr thanks for the help!

[glossy moth]

weird, I usually get those too but nothing to do with mods or anything, just game glitching

[restive prawn]

samesies

[pearl socket]

They only started when I downloaded the ikran mod haha

[pearl socket]

Does anyone know what skin this replaces?

Also why do all navi skin overrides deplete my fps? Like by half

[glossy moth]

@pearl socket did you install this one too https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/21? Both mods you linked tells this is needed as a requirement

[high fulcrum]

No, why exactly would you get banned? Ubisoft oppend afop for mods, like the sims 4, its not cheating like cs:go or other shooters

[solid knoll]

Hi, a little late to the party here but when it comes to Smoldering Skies and a couple of other ikran skins, they don't actually belong in the blue folder at all, they go into one called 'dlc1' which you put alongside the blue folder if you will in afop where the game exe is, when done it should appear under blue!

Should look like this when installed

[solid knoll]

I believe that TMP09 is the Clouded Forest - Crimson Great Wood ikran skin

[glossy moth]

hmm interesting, I thought all mod stuff would go into blue. The dlc1 folder already exists from the game itself I suppose, since I have it and never create it for any mods though

[solid knoll]

Most mods do go in blue, it's just a few weird outliers! There's a few ikran skins that were added alongside the first dlc and those are the ones that tend to land in there, but as a fun piece of trivia I discovered that the Dusk skin used to go into the dlc1 folder for modding, but a later update shifted it into blue, found that out when one of my own mods stopped working

As far as I know, it's the only ikran skin from that pack that got moved around, no idea why

[glossy moth]

oh I see

[pearl socket]

Yep! I got all mods working :D

[pearl socket]

Tysm! Do you know where to find it / get it?

[solid knoll]

It's part of the Clouded Forest Ikran Patterns in the game store but Kukulope might have it on offer once in a blue moon if you don't have the tokens for it

[pearl socket]

Ohh okay thanks!

[glossy moth]

yay nice to hear 😁

[dusky temple]

im so grateful for cosmetic mods

like yes give me etuwa's headband idc if it's not meant to be worn by the player

so pretty

[pearl socket]

The only reason I didnt get the headband is because it takes it off etuwa

[pearl socket]

Is Nexus mods the only mod website for afop?

[glossy moth]

apparently yes, at least it's the most known

[pearl socket]

Does anyone take commission for custom Ikran skins? Like if I gave an image with the colors Id want

[open meteor]

What skin tone mods exist? I never find any

[restive prawn]

There’s at least two for albino skin, there’s one for uhhh a really dark blue and the title has a word that I cannot remember. There’s some for the bioluminescence patterns, which I’d say count as skin.

[open meteor]

Where can I find rm

[restive prawn]

Nexus, or just google afop albino for the albino ones. I can’t remember what the other skin tone one is actually called so idk what to google

[open meteor]

Can I get the link where I can download neytiri's bioluminescence. I remember seeing it here but never again

[restive prawn]

Have you already tried searching on nexus for it? I don’t have the link atm but I can get it in a while

[glossy moth]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/307

also, quick question: by chance has anyone around here given this thing https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/1237 a try? It has got some downloads but no feedback so far. And since someone here said it could break stuff but for me it worked fine I'm wondering if it has been working for anyone else. Also I'm open to suggestions for changes and improvements

[pearl socket]

Ive heard Vortex sucks and to just use Nexus

[glossy moth]

that's why I'm asking, I haven't had any issues but I heard some people having bad experiences with it

it integrates with Nexus website pretty well

[open meteor]

how come the mods i donwload dont work?

[restive prawn]

Do you have the modloader? If so, are the files from the modloader folder out of the folder and in the afop folder?

that was my problem when i was first downloading mods

[open meteor]

only the one that ends in .dll

[restive prawn]

i think u need both of the files from the modloader

[open meteor]

when i downloaded the Universal Snowdrop modloader

oh both?

[restive prawn]

yeah

and both of the files need to be in the afop folder, not in the modloader folder

[open meteor]

These right?

[restive prawn]

yeahhh

[open meteor]

oof lmao

ok ty

[restive prawn]

im not an expert so idk but that look right

best of luck

if that aint the solution then i have no idea

[open meteor]

yes it worked tysm

[restive prawn]

HUZZAH

[bitter rapids]

hello?

im having trouble finding out how to download Universal Snowdrop Modloader

[glossy moth]

how so? What type of trouble?

you download it from https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/20, unpack the zip file and put the 2 files in it in the same folder as the afop.exe file

[open meteor]

I need help, I can't figure out how to get this to work

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/292

[glossy moth]

well, firstly, you got the modloader (https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/20) properly installed already, right?

[open meteor]

Yea

[glossy moth]

ok, what are you having trouble with?

That mod has different versions to choose from. Pick the version you want and put the unpacked file into blue\baked\characterart\gear\player\res\torso\base\g_res_torso_base_02\textures.
The files are named in a way to identify the version but they won't be recognized by the game that way. You must rename it, e.g g_res_torso_base_02a_d (0).dds must be renamed to g_res_torso_base_02a_d.dds and be inside blue\baked\characterart\gear\player\res\torso\base\g_res_torso_base_02\textures

[bitter rapids]

i figured it out:)

[open meteor]

I'll check when I get home cuz idk how I did it

[glossy moth]

ok

[open meteor]

i might have figures it out because i had it as gear/res instead of gear/player/res

Yeah I fixed it

[glossy moth]

nice 👍

[tardy gazelle]

Good day to yall! Does anyone have The Directors Cut Reshade? It was my favourite but the shader has been deleted from Nexusmods. 😦

and my computer has been reinstalled

[jagged dune]

I can’t get mods to work and I have the mod loader

💔💔

[restive prawn]

and youre 110% sure you put in the modloader the correct way and all the folders and crap for the mods are right?

[jagged dune]

Is there a certain order the mod loader is supposed to be in ?

I had all my mods and stuff working before but I got a new graphics card

💔

[restive prawn]

oh that sounds like an issue i dont know the solution to

good luck dudee

[glossy moth]

modloader files (version.dll and version.ini) must go in the same folder as afop.exe

[jagged dune]

Yeah they are in there

[glossy moth]

most of mod files usually go into a blue folder, that doesn't exist by default, you have to make it

some mods will make it when unpacking, others won't

[jagged dune]

I have the blue folder aswell and they don’t work

[glossy moth]

is it some specific mod or none of them are working?

[jagged dune]

None of em

[glossy moth]

right-click the version.dll > Properties, check if there is something about unlocking it (a checkbox or a button) on the very bottom, if so click/check to unlock. Files downloaded from internet are "tagged" like that and may be locked from loading and such

[jagged dune]

i dont see anything

oh wait found it

ill try it noe

now

still nothing

[glossy moth]

that's odd

mind to share a pic of the game folder?

[glossy moth]

huh no, wrong folder 😁

version.dll goes into the "game folder", the same one where afop.exe is

same as the blue folder

it's usually at ...\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\AFOP or ...\Steam\steamapps\common\AFOP

[jagged dune]

I don’t have either

[restive prawn]

thats weirdddd

[jagged dune]

That’s the only folder that afop is in

It worked for me in that folder before

[glossy moth]

I mean, where is the game installed? Do you start it through Ubisoft Connect?

if so, go to the game's page in it, click the little ⚙️ icon > Properties. Then click Installation and click the Open Folder button. That is the folder where those files go (mine isn't the default, then your will be different)

[jagged dune]

I FOUND IT

IT WORKED

TYSM

THANK YOU FOR BEING SO PATIENT WITH ME

[glossy moth]

yay \o/

lol np

[acoustic loom]

anyone know what the dds file name is for koranus headwrap mod?

nvm, found it!

[tame path]

Hey everyone! This mod will be getting a revamp! I’m letting everyone know now that when the updated mod is released, this mod will be shelved.

[restive prawn]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

👀 👀

i dont use that mod but i am excited to witness

[jagged dune]

Does anyone know how to fix the head being a different colour then the body with mods?

this is what im talking abt

its like that for two different skin colour mods i have and im not sure how to fix it

[tame path]

Might be a problem that’s similar to this one? I’m not sure the fix will work #1299126071215521834 message

[sour plover]

has anyone found out how to seperate the gear of this ikran bcu i really want it but the ikran itself i dont

[cloud cedar]

can anyone tell me how to use mods? i downloaded some mods and tranferred them in the afop folder (i also downloaded the avatar modloader) but i still don't see them on game

[restive prawn]

Do you have the files from the mod loader folder in the afop folder? Like take the files out of the mod loader folder, and just stick the files in the afop folder.
That is the extent of my modding help knowledge, but tis what I had most issues with when tryna do the mod stuff

[cloud cedar]

ok ill try! ty!

[cloud cedar]

ok i tried, i think its working?? Idk the pc graphic kinda sucks but i can see the mods now more or less

[restive prawn]

huzzah?

[cloud cedar]

ill check the others

[cloud cedar]

the difference in game and in the edit thing. I think it's working...

[glossy moth]

it might have to do with environment lighting

[cloud cedar]

it's mostly bc my graphic sucks prob bc im on pc

i even unlocked the unobtanium settings but all i got was this

[glossy moth]

I don't see any issues actually

also what mod are you trying?

[cloud cedar]

better bioluminesence

[cloud cedar]

well...

[glossy moth]

hmm there the skin and stuff look blurry 🤔

are you trying any other mod? I mean maybe use some that changes more visible stuff to make sure mods are working

[glossy moth]

in the first pic I couldn't notice the blurriness due the fog 😄 it's more noticeable in the second pic

[cloud cedar]

i mostly think is bc i play on a PC i literally tried anything. But if there's a mod for yk improve the graphic it could help, id like to take pretty pictures of my na'vi too

[mint snow]

Open the graphics config in documents and check the streamer dedicated budget. If your PC can handle unobtainium then that number should be set to at least 512

A lot of us on PC have this bug where it's set to 64 by default, which is way too low

[cloud cedar]

you mean the graphic settings in the game? i already have it on 512

[mint snow]

No. The config file in the game's folder in the documents folder

[cloud cedar]

alright i think i did it

ok its def better now ig

[mint snow]

You could also try 1024 or 2048. Idk at what point it'd stop getting better

[cloud cedar]

ok ty!

[glossy moth]

I play it on PC and I don't have issues with textures being blurry, but I play at most on Medium though

[cloud cedar]

i fortunally fixed it!

[brittle garnet]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/357?tab=description

^^

[acoustic loom]

WOAAAHH that’s so pretty!!

[bitter rapids]

is there a mod that takes this off the ikran?

[mint snow]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/136

[brittle garnet]

Idk what to do, I was asked to pick which isn't the problem, the problem is now, I'm stuck on this screen... and I'm afraid if I Alt F4 it might glitch my save

I can hear the menu and see it moving behind, my cursor can go over the thing so it's not frozen... it's just stuck

[brittle garnet]

well it's been 20mins ish, I guess I'll just try and see🤞

it worked, I worried for nothing lol

[cloud cedar]

guys are there any mods for pictures poses?

[sour plover]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/289

only this one i think

nevr tried this one myself tho

[cloud cedar]

i meant more poses but thank you

[restive prawn]

Yall know if its possible, or if a mod already exists, to change the background and/or lighting of the character customization screen?

the bright blue does not sit well with my eyeballs

[glossy moth]

I haven't seen any doing so

[restive prawn]

😔

😭

[mint snow]

I might look into that

[restive prawn]

please

the blue is so ugly

[tame path]

Oooo what if it was like a soft green or purple? Be so much easier on the eyes

Also, sneak peek of my WIP- pic by FusseL97

[restive prawn]

I do love purple :> perhaps a pastel purple or even just a darker, less saturated blue

[cloud cedar]

guys does some mods for hair exists? Like i was searching for a mod withe the red color for hair

[restive prawn]

I think Ive seen a red hair mod before? I know mods for hair color exist I just cant remember names

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/105
This is the one i was talking abt. Not sure if it has red red, but theres an orangey color

[tame path]

Almost done with the update for Neytiri’s feathered top, reminder that the OG mod will not be available once this is uploaded

[restive prawn]

Nom nom nom

[tacit flame]

Just curious, how did you make those feathers?

[restive prawn]

Wizardry

[tame path]

Honestly I use a hair texture brush to get the right texture

[tacit flame]

So it's a preset?

[tame path]

Yeah, I can send you the brush pack if you’re also a procreate user

[tacit flame]

no i dont use procreate, i was just wondering how it looked so real

i use blender and krita

[tame path]

Ah okay

I make the blend brush use the hair brush so it blends well

[urban quarry]

soon a new top, with 10 different variations 👀

[urban quarry]

Here it is: @tame path new version of a feathery top https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/362

[acoustic loom]

anyone know what the dds file for the stormchaser head cosmetic is called? ive been snooping around in the files and cant find it

[mint snow]

Has 'rasi' in the name
Search either rasi_head or head_rasi
I don't remember which

[urban quarry]

@tame path 's recent top received an update, adding 3 more versions: https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/362

[brittle garnet]

New Mod out, 7 versions available ^^ https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/363

[steel cradle]

Could anyone help me mod my game please? T-T

im struggling

[strong pilot]

What do you need help with?

[steel cradle]

Essentially everything lol. I have mods downloaded, but can’t figure out where to put them and how to actually get them in game

[strong pilot]

I believe all mods have that in the mod page!

[restive prawn]

Its a lot of making folders, and make sure when you grab the modloader that you take the files out of that folder and stick them straight in the afop folder

[glossy moth]

Firstly, you need to download the Universal Snowdrop Modloader, unpack the files (a version.dll and a version.ini) and put them int the same folder as the afop.exe file

[restive prawn]

thats basically what i said but 10x smarter

[steel cradle]

would anyone be willing to hop in a vc and walk me through it?

[glossy moth]

😄 highfives

and then, for most of mods you need to make a blue folder in the same folder as afop.exe, how the rest of files goes into it depends on the mod. The instructions would usually be in the mod's description at the website where you downloaded it

if you wanna give it a try, Nexus Mods have a modloader tool called Vortex and I made an extension to make AFoP compatible with it (https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/1237). It has been working fine for me and no reports of issues so far

[steel cradle]

im so confused T-T

[restive prawn]

i spent 3 days tryna get stuff to work, the confusion will end one day

[steel cradle]

anyone available to maybe sit in a vc and help?

[glossy moth]

I have no much time now otherwise I could try to help you more, not in voice though

[steel cradle]

this is what i have installed

what do i do from here

[restive prawn]

pray

[steel cradle]

oh lort

[restive prawn]

i have no knowledges on modding lol

[glossy moth]

lol

[restive prawn]

pray is always the next step

and jazz music

[glossy moth]

ok well, you unpacked everything on desktop I see 😳

[steel cradle]

i just dragged them there to take a pic of them

[restive prawn]

pray that one of them already has a blue folder somewhere and stick that in the afop folder then youre gonna have to do some reading and some other stuff i cant type rn

[glossy moth]

anyway good, you located where the game is installed. Now, copy the version.dll and version.ini from "Universal Snowdrop Modloader" to the folder with the game files

[glossy moth]

this folder I mean

[glossy moth]

ah ok, but np anyway

[steel cradle]

so take the files in the snowdrop folder and put them into the game folder?

[glossy moth]

yep

[steel cradle]

got it

[glossy moth]

so you should have like afop.exe and version.dll in the same folder

(or just afop - Application since you have extensions hidden 😄 )

[steel cradle]

indeed

[glossy moth]

ok, now, if any of the mods has a blue folder, just copy that folder in the game files folder

[steel cradle]

blue folder?

[glossy moth]

you should have a blue folder in the same folder as version.dll and the afop application

yup, a folder named "blue"

[steel cradle]

i aint got that 🫣

[glossy moth]

if the mod doesn't have such folder, you will need to check the instructions in the mod's page to learn the structure

ok, let's see.. open that Na'vi Champions... folder and post its content here

[glossy moth]

meh that one doesn't have it

ok, open the others and see if any has a folder named "blue"

[steel cradle]

this?

[glossy moth]

there you go, just copy that folder in the game files folder, the same with afop and where you put version.dll

[steel cradle]

this is another one

what if one of them doesnt have that blue folder

[glossy moth]

you will need to check the mods page for instructions. You will need to create a series of folders within folders according the path shown there

well, I need to log off for a while, if nobody else can help you I'll try to get back to you later if you will be still around

[steel cradle]

thank you!

[glossy moth]

hi there, sorry for taking too long but if you are still around and still need help just let me know

[steel cradle]

i think i got it thank you so much though!

[glossy moth]

nice nice! Np 🙂

New mod incoming!! Pic by FusseL97

[brittle garnet]

ooooh veryyy prettyyy, this top looks familiar 🤔 was your inspo from a side character in one of the movies?

[tame path]

Probably? I feel like I remember seeing something like this, it’s not the one Neytiri was wearing to Jake’s ceremony, but I can’t remember where I saw it

[brittle garnet]

mmmh

[brittle garnet]

Oooooh yes yes, I found it, it was a concept art on Pinterest

[tame path]

Yes yes this one

[brittle garnet]

yeppp

very nice with the extra feathers you added

[topaz compass]

Idk if it's been asked before but has anyone modded the game on xbox? Is it possible? If so, is it somewhat easy? I want to try and few mods out but my pc can't handle much more I don't think

[runic laurel]

anyone got the reddit how to mod ikran skin colors guide link handy? having trouble finding it again.

it looks like that guide got deleted.. anyone have any good guides they recommend

[tacit flame]

i made a video a while back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEbecyK2r18&ab_channel=BlueGiant24

also 2 tutorials on nexus for skin and eye colors

[tame path]

It’s not possible on console, maybe it could be if you jailbreak it but that’s never a good idea (also illegal I think idk)

[runic laurel]

Thank you!

[vivid arch]

Okay could anyone help me wiht modding? I justr started and its making me frsutrated on how many times i watched, and looked at instructions but nothing seemed to work, could yall help me with it? 😭

[tacit flame]

making them or installing them?

[vivid arch]

Installing, cause ive been reading the instruction which is putting the blue folder etc. but when i do it it doesn't seem to work

[tacit flame]

okay its probably the folder structure

the descriptions on the mod pages should say what folders to make

[vivid arch]

ooh man

alright

lemme try these again then

[tacit flame]

Sometimes they just upload the files, not the folders

[vivid arch]

OH

[urban quarry]

@tame path newest top is now on nexusmods! https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/364

[sour plover]

@pine oracle did you create some navi patterns, if not who did??

[pine oracle]

yeah ive made some, whats up?

[sour plover]

so if im correct you got the files of a pattern or is it basically a paint

[pine oracle]

its the pattern files

[sour plover]

sorry for the late reply, okay so you create a name pattern perhaps with some tattoo's on them or maybe just tattoo's as a body paint thing

this idea popped up in my head today

[pine oracle]

i think tattoos work better as a body paint

bc the stripe patterns colors are decided by the skin color file itself

so youd have to change those and then the tattoo might not look quite right

[sour plover]

smart smart

[magic harbor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvxMTF96Hog&list=PLOdEcHyTZ5WWtACbV__XCOrp6hMaXgq8D

[brittle garnet]

That's actually super cool for those who finished the game
Gives more challenges

Love the idea but wouldn't it break the game during coop ? Like if the coop player doesn't use it?

[magic harbor]

Yes, the client needs to be the same. Both players have to install it to make it work with co-op

[brittle garnet]

But if one of the player doesn't use it
Would it break the game for the one who does? Or would it just be normal?

[blazing sierra]

Are there any tutorials on how to recolor gear and make facepaint retextures?

[magic harbor]

I did not test that. But i think it just won't be possible to join each other because of non-fitting client

[brittle garnet]

mmh

[acoustic loom]

does anyone know the dds file name for the storm chaser chest guard? i cannot find it for the life of me

[mint snow]

should have "rasi" in it

[cursive cradle]

Does anyone know if it is possible to edit names and descriptions of flora and fauna? I would love to have the Na'vi names as defaults instead of english

[mint snow]

Should be; just a matter of finding it

[acoustic loom]

should be mtx_g_sar_torso_rasi_01 right? hmm, maybe im getting the file path wrong or smth

[mint snow]

blue/baked/dlc_shared/gear/player/mtx/torso/mtx_g_sar_torso_rasi_01/textures

[acoustic loom]

hmm, that’s the path I have it in, weird. I’ll have to mess around with it tomorrow

[open meteor]

Is there someone here who knows if there's a mod with Quaritch's avatar patterns?

[zinc pewter]

Does anyone know how to download a mod step by step. I have tried to follow the instructions on the web but it is hard for me to understand

[reef ridge]

man i dont know how download mods but i want those outfits so baddddddd

[restive prawn]

Is there any specific mod youre trying to download?

[restive prawn]

Welp, thats what this channel is for lol, talking abt mods and helping ppl install them

[restive prawn]

Alright soo lemme figure out how to word this...

• Figure out which variant you want by scrolling thru the images and then downloading the file with the same number as on the image.
• Find where your afop app is located, theres location stuff in the desc of the mod.
• Extract the zip file, or if youre lazy like me, just go into the folder and grab the blue folder.
• Stick the blue folder in the same folder that afop is located in
• Tadaaaaaaaaa hopefully that works

[zinc pewter]

I got it working now.

[restive prawn]

Woohoo!!

[tame path]

New mod in the works, drop color ideas/combos?

[dusk siren]

Pink with purple would look amazing

[royal marsh]

If I’m considering looking into modding (maybe just the player model to give a Reef tail or something, maybe changing the ikran eye color), what is the learning curve like? (I know a little bit of blender) How much SW is needed?

[glossy moth]

changing colors and textures seems to be pretty easy, changing models might be a somewhat challenging though. It's not just a matter of sculpting the model but also making sure the rigging is correct and stuff

[royal marsh]

Figured, so in terms of changing the colors, that's a matter of opening up the textures?

[restive prawn]

Is there a way to get first person view while on a mount like ikran/direhorse? Idk if ive asked this before 😔

[mint snow]

ik Tseyks was experimenting with that. They kind of got somewhere, also I haven't heard from them for a while

[restive prawn]

oof

hopefully its possible

[glossy moth]

kind of, usually it's a matter of editing a texture, others it's some type of settings or something (like character eyes)

[marsh reef]

I play Spotify in the bg (I’ve created a playlist of Avatar soundtracks)

Hey guys! Does anyone here create the mods on Nexus?
I’m trying to see about new scars so that my save files have different options..

[lunar agate]

purple and then green for the little stone in the middle

[marsh reef]

This looks amazing! An Orange and Red combo (like a tribute to the Zeswa) would be fireee

[bitter rapids]

is there a mod that removes these?

[restive prawn]

What is that in the image?

[bitter rapids]

its the cloth patches for the females

[restive prawn]

Ohhh

Yeah I saw a mod removing it

I think

Tryna think of where I saw it and what’s the name

I’ll find it when I hop on my computer within the next 20 mins

[tardy gazelle]

I think if u write in nexus mods "nudity" you should find that immediately. 😊

[bitter rapids]

okay il try

[restive prawn]

HOLD ON I FOUND IT

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/22?tab=description

[bitter rapids]

OMG TYYY

[restive prawn]

YO WELCOME

HAPPY TO HELP

[marsh reef]

There’s one that’s a bigger download, but it adds nips to the Na’vi and removed the “underwear” pieces on some of the bottoms too. Also it adds tail wraps!

[bitter rapids]

i'll look into that

[urban quarry]

New Top modpack released on nexusmods by @tame path and me: https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/366 Check it out if you want :>

[marsh reef]

YESSS ILL BE CHECKING THIS OUT LATER!
Also is there a way to make it replace a different base game or cosmetic top?

[royal marsh]

if I could mod this kind of "zombie skin" (as I call it) into the game I would, always amused by the VRAM bugging out
would this kind of look be feasible at all? more curious than anything

ik this skin is too dark to see but it's happened to me before with others

[restive prawn]

I can’t see anything 😔 but I’ve seen uhh full black ikrans before and there’s a mod that changes eyes to be white ish… so I think I would be possible tho I have no experience making mods.. 😔😔

[marsh reef]

So there is a “custom eye” and “custom skin” mod on nexus, basically save them to their respective folders and you can go in and change how they look using hex color codes!

I can’t remember the name of the person who made them, but it’s pretty cool. I played around with eye colors last night

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/352

[royal marsh]

If my install folder doesn't have the blue folder can I just create it?

[restive prawn]

Yep. Ya make a blue folder in the same folder that the afop application is in.

[royal marsh]

Ig it’s probably a good idea to turn off cloudsaves lol

Will try this later but just trying to grab what I need

[royal marsh]

this is a really cool one

Does anyone know if this skin would be compatible if it lists the modloader with the outdated name? https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/201

[mint snow]

it should be

[marsh reef]

They just did an update on the modloader and changed the name, so it’s still compatible, most of them that still have the old name in the description just haven’t updated that bit. Everything I’ve downloaded after the modloader update/rename has worked so far!

[mint snow]

shoulder pads can be removed. Several months ago I and another person really, really tried to get rid of the fur on any gear and didn't manage it

[pine oracle]

i think it is possible to remove the fur but it also removes the fur on EVERYTHING (if i remember right anyway, its been a hot minute)

ill see if i can find it

[pine oracle]

when i say everything i do mean EVERYTHING

(pls ignore my ugly ah ikran rn)

fur file is g_tmp_torso_part_06_fur_n for future ref

[mint snow]

Implementing this immediately

[cosmic patio]

didnt realize people didnt like the fur

[mint snow]

I don't like the bulky stuff in general
also developed a dislike for it when I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it because it pretty much stopped any nice texture editing in its tracks

[cosmic patio]

i do think some of the bulkier stuff is hard to balance

i wish we had access to all the outfit stuff seen on npc's

there are some low profile loin cloths that would work with so many outfits

[zinc pewter]

I personally like the fur.

[high tulip]

anybody know how to make frontiers of pandora mods

[cosmic patio]

there is a discord that might have resources for you

ill send you a link

i think it feels that way cause the cultures we have seen in the movies are both cultures that benefit from minimal clothing. one for heat and humidity reason and one for swimming reasons. (also for a long time it seemed like there was like no animals with fur)

[cosmic patio]

something i wish the game had more of is less body covering clothes in general. i get it, for ratings and its likely that zeszwa and kami need more robust clothing for the temperatures of their homes but some of the top choices don't really feel apart of the setting. i think if they balanced it out or at least let the male charecters be topless it would help alot.

[mint snow]

yeah the obvious censorship is annoying
I'd also be annoyed if it wasn't applied equally. so. at least we have gender equality

[brittle garnet]

Might be a stupid question but would it actually be possible to remove the tops for the male npcs for a more movie vibe ? Or would it remove it for females too?

[mint snow]

I believe it's possible. Same texture, different models

[brittle garnet]

That would be a good mod, I just hope it won't be game breaking since it would affect so many npcs

[mint snow]

Something like that should be fine

[brittle garnet]

Good to know ! 🙂 would it be hard to mod?

[marsh reef]

Idk if it’s for all males in game, but there is one already that removes the males tops

[mint snow]

No it would not
Only thing is if you play with that body, then you'll lose a lot of tops

[glossy moth]

there are already a few mods that do so. Some removes the patch thing baked into body, others make certain clothes invisible

[tacit flame]

heres one https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/148 some tops are WIP

[brittle garnet]

oh well yeah, but I thought maybe the npcs tops wouldn't affect my character's tops, so nvm haha

[tame path]

what's the neck thing mod from?

or is it with the mod being made?

[marsh reef]

The necklace kinda looks like the “Hells Gate Veteran” just recolored..

[tame path]

Recolored hells gate necklace

[bitter rapids]

i can't seem to find it

[tame path]

It wouldn’t be on nexus since it’s a paid item, it’s custom

[bitter rapids]

ooooo

[urban quarry]

it's a unique requested recolour made by a very sweet person

They're .mmb and require a corresponding . mgraphobject, .juice, and sometimes a .mcloth or .mreflex

We don't know how to do that directly, and no one's attempted other possibilities yet

Like scripts
Idk the extent of what scripts can do, but I want to look into them eventually

I'm back after three months or so. Are there any advances in modding? Some official modding support etc.?

[glossy moth]

I don't think much has changed about it on past three months, and no official support yet

[unreal adder]

Hello! I need help for mods : I want to install them but I’m really lost with how to 💀

Keep in mind I’ve never had mods before

[mint snow]

What point are you at right now, if any?

[unreal adder]

None I think tbh💀

Right now I’m not at home but I’ve tried for hours yesterday and nothing worked

I don’t think I was doing it properly yk

[restive prawn]

First ya gotta say a prayer, then get the modloader

And hope nothing goes wrong

[mint snow]

Some common troubleshoot stuff is gonna be:
-are you in the correct AFOP folder that has a million dll files
-did you put both files that came in the modloader into the AFOP folder
-is the blue folder set up correctly

[unreal adder]

I don’t even think I had a blue folder 💀

I was super confused, I’ve never done this before

If I remember well I only saw one AFOP folder

[restive prawn]

You gotta make a blue folder

[mint snow]

All mods should have installation instructions too (if they're any good)

[glossy moth]

• download the modloader and extract the files, it will give version.dll and version.ini. Put these files in the same folder as afop.exe is
• download and extract the desired mod files. If it gives a blue folder, just put this folder where the afop.exe is, if not, make a blue folder there and check the mod page for instructions on how the path beyond the blue folder should be

[unreal adder]

I’ll give news later, thank you guys💗

[unreal adder]

Yeah yk I was on Nexus but didn’t saw any, either I just missed it or there weren’t any💀

[glossy moth]

if you wanna give it a try, you can try using NexusMods' Vortex tool, I made an extension for it to deal with AFoP mods 😉 😛

[wooden sage]

Hi ! I know nothing about modding the game, but I'd like some help with some cosmetics for my sarentu, like something original. If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it ! Please feel free to DM me !

[tame path]

Are you looking for stuff like warpaint or clothing? If it’s clothing I could help you with it

[wooden sage]

Yep ! ^^

Would be great ! :)

[tame path]

Will DM when I get home 😁

[native apex]

It’s there any chance you could help me too? I’ve been trying to follow a YouTube tutorial for a while now and I really don’t get it

[tame path]

For sure!

[native apex]

Omg Tysm, I’ve been trying for ages 😭

Pls let me know when you’re free

[unreal adder]

I have been trying to download mods but when I arrive to the image where you can see the top and click on it, it says that

Anybody knows why?

[glossy moth]

the file may have got corrupted when you extracted it. Trry to download and extract it again

[unreal adder]

So restart from the beginning, download the mod again?

It happened with another mod too 💀

[glossy moth]

try just to extract the file again, maybe that what failed. If it still doesn't work, download it again

hmm, then whatever you are using to extract the packages is broken

[unreal adder]

Do you know something thats good to extract?

What do you use if it works for you?

[unreal adder]

I really don’t know why it’s not working atp💀

[glossy moth]

sorry I had to go afk, I usually use 7-zip but any tool should work fine

[unreal adder]

No problem don’t worry 🙂

Cause if I click sometimes to open a file or smt they ask me with what I want to open it, if I click on WinRar it doesn’t seem to work too

So I’ll try with the one you use

[glossy moth]

what mod is it btw? Also, was that error message from the game?

[pine oracle]

^ is it from opening the game or the actual dds file itself

[unreal adder]

Oh it’s not from the game at all! It’s when I’m still in the files

[unreal adder]

Ive tried a few, I’ll try to find them again

[pine oracle]

ah

are you trying to edit the mod or

if so i can only think ur pc is tweaking out because it doesnt have a program that supports opening the file type

[unreal adder]

No, I’m not trying to modify it I’m just trying to get the mod in the game 😭

[unreal adder]

One of them is the weaver shawl- refreshing NPC’s

Also my pc is a gaming one? I do not know atp what’s going on💀

[pine oracle]

ah you shouldnt need to open it then :p once its in your afop folder it should be working in game (provided you have the mod loader installed)

[glossy moth]

oh? Did you get that when trying to extract from the zip file?

[unreal adder]

Oh! 😭

[pine oracle]

all good

[unreal adder]

Oh wait I don’t think it was a zip file 💀

[pine oracle]

modding my first game was a real horror show 💀

[unreal adder]

How do I modify it to one?

I’m so sorry I feel so bad for being this lost 😭

[glossy moth]

when you download it you get a zip file (actually a .7z file if I recall right), you unpack it and put the unpacked files as required by the mod, No need to open or do anything else with said files yes

if you try to open those files with an app that's not compatible (e.g notepad, paint etc) you will get errors like that one

[unreal adder]

Makes sense now with errors 💀

Also do I put the afop.exe file in the blue one too?

I had to create the blue file, some of the mods have one so I just deleted it since I already had one

[glossy moth]

nop, you make (or put) a blue folder into the same one where afop.exe is, no need to do anything with that exe

and yeah, some mods are packed in a wait the structure starts with a blue folders, others don't and for those you have to make the folder yourself

if you feel having too much trouble with these you may try Vortex, I made an extension for it to support AFoP 😬

[unreal adder]

Okay, I’ll move the blue folder in the afop.exe one

Yeah some already had a blue one but since they were already copied in the one I made I removed the one they already had

[glossy moth]

you just have to merge them if you had that folder already

[unreal adder]

Okay, when I tried to slid the blue folder in afop.exe (both of them are the in big AFOP file) , it sent me to the game

[glossy moth]

nono, don't drop it onto the exe, put the folder in the same folder the .exe is

[pine oracle]

^

[glossy moth]

if you drag it and drop onto the .exe it will run the game 😄

[pine oracle]

should look something like this

(u prob have less folders, ive been messing around w stuff w modding)

[unreal adder]

Yeah haha 😄

Yep, it’s something like this!

That’s my blue folder

[glossy moth]

for real, Vortex makes it way easier to deal with that 😄

[unreal adder]

Yet nothing is in the game (mods)

[glossy moth]

eh, it's a bit messed. version. files go along the afop.exe, see the pic hiraya showed

the game doesn't support mods officially, you won't find anything about mods within the game

[pine oracle]

^ L ubi moment 😔

[unreal adder]

So what do I need to do?😭

[glossy moth]

see this pic, your files structure should be similar to this

if the mod contains a blue folder, you just drop that blue folder in that AFOP folder.
If it doesn't, check its description for instructions of the folders you need to make and where to put the files

[unreal adder]

This is out of the blue folder I made

[unreal adder]

So just freely? I don’t put it in my blue folder, just in the AFOP file?

[mint snow]

You need to check the mod description for the path. Most mods still go somewhere in blue

[unreal adder]

Just asking like this but is there any of you who can screen record to show me a tutorial? I think it will really be easier 😅

I feel bad for asking I’m sorry

Im really asking if someone has an ease with modding

[glossy moth]

as I mentioned, you might try using Vortex, it makes dealing with these mods easier
(some people has mentioned having bad issues with it on past, but I have used it just fine. Also a dozen people has downloaded my extension for it with no complaints so far)

[pine oracle]

a proper modding tutorial is probably needed at this point

the blue folder will always go into the AFOP folder

if a second mod you download comes with another blue folder, open it up and move the next folder inside into your already existing blue folder

so like example, i open up my already made blue one then i open up the second mods blue folder, inside is a folder called baked, i put that into my already made blue folder

same if you already have a baked folder, move onto the next one, characterart, move that into your existing baked folder

there should never be duplicate folders

i hope that makes sense

maybe ill try recording a tutorial or something soon

just need to tidy up my desktop first 💀

[glossy moth]

if the mod has a blue folder and you already have it you can just paste the folder there, the system will merge both folders, then no need to go deep checking what you have or not

[mint snow]

If you make a video, make sure to highlight that both modloader files need to go into AFOP

That seems to lose a lot of people, even though it's said directly on the modloader instructions

[pine oracle]

yeah for sure

[unreal adder]

Okay I though I did good, I followed the steps asked for a mod and still nothing in the game 🫠

I created all the new folders I had to, have the exact same names

[brittle garnet]

I can help you tomorrow in a voice channel if you want

[brittle garnet]

Do you still need help? @unreal adder

[unreal adder]

Yes! 😭

Tho I won’t be able today much until tonight

[brittle garnet]

okey sure, feel free to dm me when you free

[unreal adder]

If anything, feel free to send me a video or anything 🙂

[brittle garnet]

it would be easier for me to show you on screen share but if you're not comfortable talking, you don't have to say anything

btw, I speak french as well if you're worried about the language, I noticed your pc is in french

[plucky bramble]

Hello

Hello!
How are you all?

[fringe compass]

Reminder to not fall for AI art scammers ^^ cough

[restive prawn]

-# cough cough and reminder that there is a rule against advertising and against selling or buying conversations on this server

[nimble cedar]

@raven zealot File directory should follow this path in your AFOP folder where the .exe is also located. You can then make the lashes any colour or form you want just by drawing on them
(Assuming you've already primed your game for mods, if you haven't, follow the modding guide ^_^)

They have to be .dds format so use gimp (my bad for saying PNG earlier, might've been your issue if you saved .png), don't change anything about the resolution

[raven zealot]

thank you, I will give this another try. I was using Clip Studio (which you have to convert the files to work) so it could have also been on my side where it was messing up 😂

[raven zealot]

it worked! Thank you soooo much. I really appreciate all your help.

[lost pine]

Is there a mod that removes the headgear from the resistance override ikran skin?

[mint snow]

Not published that I know of, but I have that implemented in my own game rn
I can just zip it and put it here in a bit

[raven zealot]

I'd like to see that too.

[mint snow]

here it be. should be it

don't ask to remove the rest of the gear yet because we haven't figured out how 😳

also if any of you want the paint taken off, I have those too
for any of the overrides

[raven zealot]

yes please

I've been wanting the green/orange ikran without the paint for some time now. lol

[mint snow]

if you can believe it, that's the great games ikran under all that paint
one sec

[raven zealot]

Before the dlcs came out, I was hoping it would have been added to the store. When it had the paint all over it, I was so bummed out

[mint snow]

it's definitely a choice to have ikran paint and gear be locked to certain overrides, rather than something more like our own body paint

[raven zealot]

I would have loved if they just had a second station to customize the ikran, such as paints.

[mint snow]

ok here she be

[raven zealot]

thank you ❤️

[mint snow]

and the resistance ikran blue is just gorgeous. A shame it's only available with paint and human gear. Halfway to freeing it though; it doesn't help that it seems to play by its own rules. We haven't tracked down the actual skin, and we can't get the gear off in the usual fashion

[raven zealot]

Too bad the skin could just be a mod to put on a pre-existing ikran (override a skin)

[lost pine]

i managed to make a fake resistance ikran skin thats close enough for me, i might share the skin if anyones interested in it

it has minor differences from the original and depending on which skin you use it changes slightly, this one being on the ikran pattern 05 while the other one is on jungle green

[mint snow]

I went through and checked all the color patterns that aren't known player skins, and yep--wherever the resistance skin is, it's not a color pattern file

[raven zealot]

darn x.x

[unkempt minnow]

Hey everyone! I installed the no songcord mod and when I didn't want it anymore I deleted all the files, but the songcord still isn't showing up in game. I checked if I'd screwed something up by removing the mod loader entirely and then it did show up. However when I readded the loader yet again no songcord. i'm pretty sure there's no leftover files bc i downloaded the mod again and checked for each file in the specified path

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/231?tab=files

if anyone has any suggestions i'm all ears lol

ok nevermind there was in fact a leftover file i am simply stupid

[restive prawn]

*simply an oopsies

[glossy moth]

yeah I was going to say the only explanation is some leftover somewhere 😄

[pine oracle]

happens 😋

[unkempt minnow]

modding games is an adventure sometimes your 70gb fallout 4 mod folder goes swimmingly sometimes a 14kb avatar file takes 2 hours of troubleshooting

[restive prawn]

took me 3 days before i could get afop mods to work 😔 took maybe twenty mins to figure out on my own with a bit of reddit how to do bg3 mods

that is life 😔

[raven zealot]

Question, can you play with friends (co-op) with mods installed?

[restive prawn]

Yes, you can play coop with mods. However the other user wont see the changes of cosmetic mods unless they also have those mods. Like if you have a mod that retextures a top, they'll only see the original thing if they dont have the same mod installed.

[raven zealot]

Thank you for replying, that makes sense. I was simply worried co-op wouldn't work or the mods would mess up.

[restive prawn]

I think I saw like 1 mod that would mess things up with coop but it's somethin fancy that messes with difficulty. I dont remember what the name of it was

[jagged dune]

is it possible to change the colour of the feathers ???

[mint snow]

Should be; just a matter of finding them

[jagged dune]

if any modders out there find it and have sum free time could anyone make them a baby pink colour.... ?

[urban quarry]

i should have a file of those somewhere

[urban quarry]

pink

[heady plaza]

so pretty!

[jagged dune]

OMG COULD U SEND ME THE FILE + PATH IF POSSIBLE ??

[urban quarry]

sure

[junior gale]

Are there any mods that improve FPS?

[mint snow]

The modloader itself should kinda help. None that I'm aware of other than that

At least for me it's an area of interest, though

[silent mauve]

i cant get my mods to work i have to be doing something wrong T.T

[glossy moth]

well, first of all, did you get the modloader properly installed?
I mean, did you put version.dll and version.ini from it in the same folder as afop.exe?

[silent mauve]

i think so, but i dont see anything that explicitly states afop.exe

i went through the ubisoft pathway, to games, then AFOP

[glossy moth]

afop.exe is just to refer to where the game is installed, since the install path can be changed

can you show your AFOP folder?

[glossy moth]

ok seems correct, although the mods folder must be named blue, rename blue.1 to blue

[silent mauve]

done!

[glossy moth]

now it depends on what mods you want, you have to put their files into the blue folder.
If the mod archive already contains a blue folder, just drop it there (merging its blue folder with your blue folder),
If not, you gotta check the mod's instructions to learn how the folder structure must be

[silent mauve]

if it says something like this

To install follow this patch:
\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\AFOP\blue\gameplay\vanity\juice and drop the files

how do i get to gameplay? i get to blue then im unsure where to go

[restive prawn]

Ya make gameplay

-# now we wait until shadow explains it more smartly

[glossy moth]

these folders won't exists by default, you must create them. Make a gameplay inside blue, then vanity inside gameplay and so on

[silent mauve]

okay that makes more sense haha. Thanks! Ill do all that nd hopefully it works!

[glossy moth]

once you create the juice folder, drop the mod files in there

some mods make it easier by having the full structure in the archive (you see it containing a blue folder). Others will just have the mod files and you have to make the folders yourself, like your case

[mint snow]

hey, I made a mod that makes the 5 default ikran skins a a permanent reward across saves (because I was missing one from a duplicate reward in one save). Saves will keep the skins even after removing the mod, but curiously, this seems to continue to apply even to saves created after removing the mod.

I used the mod for my one save, removed it, relaunched the game, created a new save, played it through First Flight, and I have all 5 skins right away.

Would y'all be interested in this being published, even with the apparent permanent effect?

I wonder if it would be reversed with a mod that tells these skins to reward on certain saves only (which is their default state)

[tame path]

That’s interesting, I wonder if deleting/reinstalling the game would reset

[pine oracle]

yes, i was missing one of the skins for forever and it was driving me mad 😭

would be a godsend for my next save 🙏

[grizzled mantle]

Hey sorry to ask again but I got logged out of that account , , , could u resend me it ??

[urban quarry]

ah sure

[heady plaza]

dose anyone know if there is a mod that allows you to use Rasi’s face settings? some people got it and others didn’t and i was wondering if that was even possible to mod in

i had a save file with them but deleted it and the restore file feature on ps5 is basically useless 😅

[fringe compass]

Verifying files on ubisoft deletes all the mods right?

[wooden sage]

Hello ! I have a problem. I recently made my own retexture of the researcher shirt but when i put the dds file in the textures folder (with the correct name and everything), it doesn’t show up in game. I tried various ways to make it work, but it just doesn’t.. and then when I logged back in after trying again, I saw this :

(to be more simple : the top doesn’t appear, and my navi stays naked, but when I try another retexture, it works perfectly fine, just not with mine..)

Edit : I did it on Ibis Paint on iPhone

[vapid frost]

can anyone dm me to help me with modding? I’ve followed a few tutorials but it’s so confusing 😭 😭

[glossy moth]

no need DM actually, we can help just here. You can even check posts here about people with similar difficulty 🙂

[glossy moth]

first of all, have you downloaded the modloader and put the files in the proper place? The version.dll and version.ini files go in the game's installation folder, that's the same folder where afop.exe is in. By default it's something like ...\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\AFOP, you can check it through the Launcher

[vapid frost]

I downloaded the universal snowdrop modloader and put the files in the games installation folder

I’ve done this yes

[vapid frost]

hmmm I’m gonna check this out after I shower

I swear I’ve tried it 😭

how does mods appear on the clothing in the game?

do they just replace the specific item (if I have mod for for example the researcher shirt)

[glossy moth]

usually they replace already existing stuff, you need to check the mod page to know what

yeah, so you would need to equip the item it replaces

[vapid frost]

hmm I’m gonna try!

I’m gonna update here soon guys

[glossy moth]

👍

[restive prawn]

Best of luck

[vapid frost]

I haven’t even started

okay wait

should I extract it with winrar?

the download

I see a lot of tutorials saying that

[glossy moth]

yeah

do you mean the modloader?

[vapid frost]

I mean the mod file 😭

not the loader

[glossy moth]

ah ok. Well yes, you must extract it. The way the files should be dealt depends on how the mod was packaged though

is there a blue folder in the mod's archive?

[vapid frost]

yes!

💕

[glossy moth]

great! Just extract it and put that blue folder in the installation folder, along afop.exe and stuff

[vapid frost]

ahh okay I understand

[glossy moth]

your AFOP folder structure should be something like this (ones with [] being folders):

[blue]
...
[uplay_download]
...
afop.exe
afop_plus.exe
... (bunch of .dll files)
version.dll
version.ini
