As in I got these pics out of the base game files
Ubisoft’s files
If the stripes look like those, they’re not modded and your game is fixed
great im skedaddling now thati think solution has been found
If there’s nothing in pattern, you have no mods active and your stripes are completely normal
then wtf is this??
skin pattern 4 prob
So it is the normal stripes
100% the normal stripes
Besides it’s the pattern I use as a guide to make my custom patterns, I’d recognize it anywhere
I knew it 😭
how tf is that normal?
wtf is going on on the forehead?
If you don’t like those stripes just choose another one or download a mod, they’re the vanilla stripes that Ubisoft made so there’s nothing to do for the forehead unless you use a different pattern or a mod
no their not these are the vanilla ones no?
.
These are Xbox screenshots, the female character has the same exact stripes. You can’t mod on Xbox
So yes they are now 1000000000% the vanilla stripes
ty for your time
no fr i was like "tf is this?!"
bc ive never seen that pattern
Ubisoft creating scuffed designs 😂
no fr dude
I already have so many plans but be assured a full stripe overhaul is a part of those plans
As soon as I have the time lol
nicce so ur a modder?
Yeah, mostly tops but now that I have a PC I’ve been branching out
oooooo whats ur user on Nexus i wanna check
Mine is sarentuinari, but while I was on Xbox, FusseL97 was uploading my mods, so a majority of them are on his page
lol, thank you ☺️
ofc
for any of those who wanted to mod in tsu'tey's ikran.. heres both top and bottom.
- detail layout :]
- side
I LOVE YOU SM RIGHT NOW OMG
i think i can edit these textures in blender somehow? if someone knows how to import them I'd love to know, otherwise it's Clip Studio for me lol
oh my god please anyone who makes this tag me as i love his ikran so much
it gave me hummingbird vibes kinda or blue macaw
same let us know
Are we all just working on tsu'tey's ikran lol
apparently so
This was as far as I got until I put it on pause because working on it right after doing toruk started driving me to the pits of insanity lmao
my boi kytsu needs this
damn that looks so good
let me find mine
i dropped it bc it annoyed me that the head wouldnt match the body on all skins 💀
Genuinely all the mismatching colours is also driving me nuts, I really need to get around to purging all my modded skins and compile a list of all the skins affected to see if it can be fixed 😩
I fear there's nothing that can be done about the state of the secondary pattern type tho, they're the absolute worst for different coloured heads
it already looks so good
so does yours it already looks so good
can someone PLEASE explain how to edit these textures in blender?! I know it's possible and i really wanted to do this but my question never got answered
First you gotta become a wizard
my wizard powers are, as of yet, unlearned, but unmatched all the same. as soon as i crack this none of yall are ready
lmaooo
I will find the random blotch
I will find it 😭
oehh the neck part is so cute
I sometimes load the .dds files into blender and export them using this plugin https://github.com/matyalatte/Blender-DDS-Addon
does it show them on the model though?
you would need the model but yes
learning the wizardry
ok ok lets see if i can get blender to import things properly. every time i try something breaks, it never matters what XD
i gotta learn this too
should we hop in a call and ill screenshare so we can all sniffa at the same time?
wizardryyyy
i don't know blender terribly well, im more familiar with maya, but we'll see
most importantly is the import and export options
If it's an obj then you'll click on Wavefront (.obj)
what model would i export? there's several, does it matter?
i did find the model, hangon let me find it
yeah
also i see cuddlefish- my one savior from fear in that game
lol yeah
Since all ikrans are the same in the game, you should be able to use any, if the UVs are the same
now with the opacity painting, does the color hex code matter? i know the regions work in opacity, but say i need green- does that mean it has to be neon lime green, or does 'green' mean anywhere on that spectrum?
i guess i don't really know how to start this now that i have what i need
with blender you have to set up a shader... i havent quite figured how the masking from AFOP into blender
oh right, i think i might have a plugin for that
oh i thought i did it wrong lol
in hunter theres a option to change it to a obj
https://github.com/dtzxporter/cast/releases heres the plugin for cast, but i use obj
got it into blender
the texture is the mask
how on earth
i got the model into blender but i cant get the texture to show on it
also my model is sideways- is that meant to happen-
this is the shader setup
It probably imported sideways
i tried fbx and it imported the right rotation
obj and cast imports it sideways
ok lets see if i can get this i got distracted animating
let me see if it works for me then i can screenshare if you want
yeah
oh
yeah im just stupid
i foudn the shader thing
ive done it 🙏😭
now time to figure out how to edit and such
ok i got it
alright lets do this tseyks
im so ready- just gotta get the head texture on
yeah me too
my head isnt applying properly 🤨
oh my god okay this is so much easier
thank you so much seamodder 🙏
your welcome💙
yes you are a godsend 💙
might be time to make a pattern like neytiri's second ikran 😼
ooo and i could do one for Lo'ak or Neteyam
omg yes 🥺
would there be a way to get this to show as one of the in-game textures? i dont imagine it would work like that
as in, show like that in blender
We would have to somehow get the mask to work with the shader in blender
i have been using blender for a while but im not a pro at it
like set a color for each color of the mask
hmmmmmmm, so get it to work the way the game reads the colors
let me play around with it and see what i can do
Exactly
Have you put the rigged models into blender? If so, have you been able to properly mirror them?
they get imported with the bones if its exported as a cast or fbx
I've put both the rigged ikran and thanator into Blender, just can't mirror them properly
Hold up
I couldn't figure out how to mirror the post properly
One wing moved up when I tried to move them both down
oh
Asked for help in the Blender Community, but they couldn't help
what file type did you export it as
Because i exported mine as a fbx, and it's not doing that
But when you mirror it?
I found CAST files
Oh, those're fbx
so CAST and fbx files
To mirror, you should just be able to select one side of the bones, go to the right side into options I think, and there’s a setting for x-axis mirroring
👀
It’s in the same area you edit materials/textures in, just a different tab. I’m not at my pc rn or I’d check
There's bones already though, I just can't figure out how to pose them so the mirror'd work
You’re trying to mirror movement right?
Oh yeah
Yeah it mirrors the movement controls
Would it also mirror weight painting?
It does when I do it this way on other models, so I assume so. I haven’t tried with this one yet
I will when I’m home if it’s still not working
Great! I hope it does for this too
Imma try it some other day, it's closer to 3am now lol
Holy
Ywah 🥲
did you mirror the mesh?
I just used the mirror thing in the top fight corner
But as seen, the bones also point all to the same direction
Yes, that's what mirroring does
But if they are on opposite sides, it shouldn't look like that
In blender, the bone names need to be like wingL and the other side has to be wingR
But I'm taking a look, and it's doing the same thing to me too
Wizards
The bones are named properly, but the orientation of the bones are not because of how it's imported
Yeah 😭
imma try to mirror it
Ok, I can't figure out how to mirror it
I'll look up a tutorial later, once I'm finished with the thanator model
I have seen people here, mod npc clothes and other characters hair and clothes, but has anyone mod anufi,Mokasa and tsulo clothes?
I think someone's done Anufi's
this looks amazing!
SO PRETTY!!!
so...... any ideas on how to make it not pixelated?
Larger resolution canvas if you so desire and brushes with opacity that fade in/out and use a smudge/blur tool to smooth it out more if needed
i hope blender has brushes like that lmao
will try upscaling too
upscaling made part of the model disappear
I think the head resolution has to be half what the body is from memory
I don't know how to change the texture res, but i know the body upscaling isnt gonna work lol
wait i think i got it
yeeahhhhh i did
nice
get ready for 4k ikran textures
i keep running into things i dont understand and needing to change the way im doing it
Hey could anybody make Tsu'los hairstyle mod replace the bob hairstyle if thats possible?
current progress
really wishing the head symmetrized properly
and another two hours on the head but i will say i was watching critical role and a fight had me hooked for a bit
When we start at the same time and I have one line 
any ideas? nothing is in hunter for this
its in the body file
just put the body texture file in there
blender did its magic and when im on the body i can draw in there too
how did i do this and how do i fix it its pissing me off and i cant work like this
my ui is ✨ scuffed✨
absolutely no settings to turn off that transform things and put the viewport bs back
ah, the beloved button-mashing fixed it. now to find the button that worked
i literally just click the area
that bit on the right doesnt seem to help me in anyway lmao
interesting. ill have to hope mine doesnt break
fantastic
ofc its broken
yeah nothing i do fixes it naturally
the body texture is breaking the weakpoint
OH
it literally means the banshee in game weakpoint
im stupid
are you adding it as a new texture
or
going here
there doesn't exist a texture for me to add there, and when i add wl_banshee_body_pc, the texture doesnt line up. when i try to fill that empty part, it extends down on the weakpoint, same as trying to erase the extra red on top
i think the only time ive had an error with it lining up was when i changed the thingy from flat to something else
this sthing
idk what else would be causing that
does anyone know why this mod does not work? I have contacted the creator and such but even they cannot help me out, the necklace part (mtx) is supposed to overwrite the Guerrilla Visor item or the Guerrilla Visor cosmetic, I have it as a visual option, and I dont think you can get it as a item right? the mod doesnt show ingame (only the top does) even tho the file path is correct and the active file is correctly named
Show pics of the files and their paths?
check your graphobjects folder
if the model isnt transferring properly, its likely that something went wrong there
blue/graph objects/gear
I have one file in there
yeah thats the problem then
you should have a second one
g_res_head_part blah blah
that one
thats why it's not working for you 😋
I was literally about to download this mod yesterday (finally got my pc fixed!!) but I wasn’t sure if her nips would be visible or not.. it’s still reallly pretty though! And your girl looks awesome with it!
thank youuu! they are, btw, not that much tho!
I know I asked a while ago but I’m not sure if anyone responded or not.. but is it possible that some of these top mods can replace other pieces? Like the RDA tops are cool, but not for my OCs and I’m very limited on what mod is active based on the character I’m playing at the time. And there is WAY too many dope mods that replace the researcher shirt..
So glad you got this figured out. I have a file that removes the nips but keeps the nakey everywhere else, would you want it?
No thanks! I dont really mind them, thank you very much tho!
Same, but I post a lot on my insta/tiktok so I have to be careful with some of the mods lol
haha true, I dont post so I gladly dont have that problem lmao
a lot of them replace the researcher shirt because they are retextures of said shirt (they aren't new models or anything that can be applied to different models)
AFOP modding is very limited
because of the modloader and the limited knowledge of snowdrop engine
so its only ever one retexture of the researcher shirt working in game
if thats what you mean?
models can be moved around but you can never have two retextures of the same shirt active in game unfortunately
Right, I was just curious if anyone has found a way to retexture some of the other RDA pieces for the game yet, basically if it’s possible to retexture some of the more human looking pieces to be more Na’vi “coded”
yeah we can retexture them, only issue is they're quite chunky which means any retextures are floating 397240 meters off the body
😭
and nobody likes that so
Oh no😭
Well, thank you for answering me! Hopefully a solution comes soon 🤣😅
I think that's mostly the reason of why Researcher Shirt is the most/main used one, because it's basically a plain and simple one. All other skins have some detail that wouldn't allow a full retexture to look right
so unless someone finds a way to fully replace a skin model, the options will be limited
praying every day that we figure it out 😭 🙏
Ig by editing the mgraphobject?? Just guessing based on the few facts I know about afop modding
Ime either the game ignores it or majorly doesn't like it
^
chat does anyone know if this top exists on nexus? im on a quest to help this person identify the mods 😔
i recognize the top but i cant find it 😔
This but red and with a different neck piece https://share.google/tYmZRTZdVc1t6OcCd
A prettier top created using the tap shirt that originally replaced the rebel chest guard
Could be a retexture, but the feathers are exactly the same either way
Idk which one's origibal, but I'm assuming the link I sent. No idea if the red one's available somewhere, either
Looks like the neckpiece in this one though, sooooo... I'm guessing someone combined and recolored them
hmmmm
funny enough this is kira, oc from @the.winged.shadow (blacksinner) on tiktok, someone took her pictures and posted it there without her permission. the top does exists on nexus just not that color i think
OH I THINK I FOLLOW THEM
God I knew I’d seen her somewhere but for some reason whenever I saw her on Pinterest my mind always went UTOYA wait no who?
I researched it annd the top's basically 2 combines mods, one for the top and one for the neckpiece, both recolored to red :)
A shame someone's posted stuff without permission, though :(
it happends sadly but ey i would also take it as a compliment of someone taking my oc as eitehr their idea or anything
True! Should always credit the original owner tho
I just hope I never see my Peyral’ìn on Pinterest cus she’s my self insert and very very personal. I’d be so offended lol
omgg it's you from tiktok haha 😭
thanks to you I've been convinced to mod outfits cuz yours are so pretty
love your content 
Omg that makes me so happy 😄 glad to be inspirational lol
:3
etuwa headband by @pine oracle , brows most likely done by me- Eyelashes also by tseyks
Yeeeep I already got the person who asked most of the rest of the mods :> ty for confirming tho lol
ofc :)
just to confirm for my own sanity's sake, there isnt an easier way to mod ikran skins than having to close the game and reopen it to see the saved changes right?
Uhhh I think fast travelling away and then calling your ikran might work
So that the game has to reload the textures
hm doesnt seem to work sadly
i wish you could see the changes in real time it would make ikran skin modding so much more fun
A shame 😔
How far did you travel?
I think I've seen someone say that for clothes changing them to something else and then changing back is enough, but not exactly sure...?
Probably something to do with file type
Textures and object graphs can update live; other things like blueitemtype don't
i tped to the dlc worlds🥀
Oh 😔
my games textures tend to freak out a lot, is this being caused by a mod?
Are your graphics drivers up to date?
That's always the first thing people ask, but this problem seems to be caused by current drivers
Let me guess: you have a Nvidia gpu
If nothing else works out, install driver 552.22
ill try these, thanks yall :)
and to answer it, no, mods hardly would cause those (at least there is no mod for changing ground textures so far 😄 )
haha alright thanks xd, i suspected mods cuz my vanilla playthrough didnt have these issues
understandable. But I also have had these issues even before I started using any mods
Hey I know your questions have pretty much been answered but this is a recolored version of a top I made and it is on nexus, the neck piece is a separate mod that is also recolored 🙂 they're separate and I haven't made any official recolors, blue is the original
Mods shouldn't affect files you don't have a mod of, could just be they started for different reasons around when you downloaded mods
I also had texture bugs at one point, and I don't think I had any mods yet back then 🤔
If I did, it was ikran skin mods I had
anyone know or have the dds file name for this hairstyle? i want to change the color of the feathers
One will come up if you search "fur removal" on nexus
Nws! All I did was erase the textures of the fur in the file I mentioned there, and much is the same file as that fur removal mod (Ubisoft made it so all the fur used in the spires dlc share the same texture file)
Which fur was it you were looking to play around with?
Hello ! I was wondering if anyone knew how to combine Tail Wrap + Hiding the chest thing. Because I'd like to keep the lower hidding part and only remove the two plates on the female's body :)
Hiding chest thing?
The two breast plates
The cloth patches?
Yeah !
It should be as simple as just having both paths in your blue file.
Because the tail wrap mod is complete nudity, but I'd like to keep the panty the female model had :/
Oh okay so
I'm not at my pc rn but when you open the mod is their a separate path that contains the tail wrap? ( I haven't used that mod as of rn. )
No, if I remember correctly, it directly changes the entire body texture :/
I changed my pc so I need to download the game again and everything to check :/
Let me go check out the mod and I'll see if I can help.
Tysm ! 
Nexus home page has just gone down so gimme a second
Oh, take your time 
Yeah so the tail wrap is drawn onto the mod, you wouldn't be able to have it separately - unless you were to ask the creator of said mod to maybe make a version without the better body. Pretty sure Tseyks made the mod
Aww, okay thanks ! Will check and see ! Ty !
No worries!
yeah the no fur mod is what you're looking for then - itll do everything that is in my photos 😋
The only way we can remove fur is to do all of it
^as casocki said, they share the same texture file, so by editing it, you remove all the fur from all the cosmetics added in the spires dlc update. Kukulope’s outfits fur and I think a zeswa loincloth are an exception to this, but they can’t be removed
ive been scrounging around in the files for awhile now and i cannot find these feathers for the life of me. i know a few months ago someone posted something about them here, but i cant find it
I'll send you the file
thank you so much!!
2nd account, just grabbing the file. @acoustic loom
you'd just need to remove the (1) before putting into the path on your blue file.
thank you again!!
no problem!
@acoustic loom pretty sure these are the feathers you're looking to recolour
If that makes it easier
hello could anyone mod the brown chain on nefikas great games waistcloth for me rq? @restive prawn
I have a question about modding. When you play co-op with a friend, could you download the mods they have and see them on their character while still keeping your own mods on your own character?
as long they don't clash, I believe so
clash in like different mods changing the exact same thing
like, let's say you use a Mod A that changes item A, they use Mod B that changes item B, all fine, you will see both. But if their Mod B also changes item A you will see like Mod A on them
Ahh, okay, thank you. :>>
What are you pinging me for?
if you know anyone that can help me
If I knew someone that could help, then I’d respond on my own time.
Editing a message to ping me doesn’t actually ping me, I only saw this because I was looking for something in this channel.
You also need to be patient or learn how to do it yourself. I know you want these things done, but pinging people without permission or waiting for a response and posting the same question in multiple channels/servers isn’t how you go about asking people to do things for you.
Modding is admittedly very easy once you get started from the things I see you wanting done. Erasing parts of textures and recoloring things are what I’ve seen, and both of those are 20/30 minute processes if you know what you’re doing, but very easy to learn if you don’t.
The absolute hardest part of the process is picking out the file names and paths, but there’s a “code” we can use to figure that out so you can find the items you’re looking for, and Hunter gives you the file path already.
I’m not trying to be rude, I’m just trying to bring some things to your attention.
-# thank you for saying such wise words lightchaser
I was going to install some mods on my computer, just to try it out and I noticed in all the tutorials on installing mods they have a "blue" folder. I do not have this and I've Uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Is this something I'm suppose to make or is it something else?
A good rule of thumb for afop modding: if you don't have it, create it! So yes, you'll need to make it. If downloading multiple mods, though, make sure you always have only one of each folder - most have different paths afaik, but some'll have the same folders at the start
yep, the "blue" folder isn't native to the game, it's made specifically for mods so yes, you will need to create it (some mod packages will come with it then you could just drop those directly)
Hii, would someone delete these beads if possible? Idk how to mod by myself 🥀
Can I ask for a little help? Can I ask someone to replace the top in the mod below with the Researcher shirt instead of the Rebel Chest Guard?
https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/449
Thank you in advance if you can do it! ♥♥♥
you can install the mod as is and then add this file to blue\graph objects\gear
put this in blue\baked\characterart\gear\player\rnf\waist\part\g_rnf_waist_part_camo_t3_01\textures
Tyyyyy ♥
I mean ty, I answered for the wrong ping lmao
I need some help.. whenever I use a chest piece like this it puts pads under it, how do I fix this?
Half asleep but there’s another mod that removes that, nudity chest removal something- can find link in morning
There’s a few similar mods
Ah ok thx, I'll see if I can find it in the meantime
I found this one https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/22?tab=description but its not working, I haven't been able to find another one.
Replaces textures to change the cloth patches on the feminine model to normal skin, similar to the masculine model.
Nvm! I had to restart my game.. usually I don't have to restart for stuff to change lol
is anyone able to make etuwas legwraps replace one of the ankle gaurds?
these leg wraps are actually Etuwa's skin, they wouldnt be able to be added to a gear mod unfortunately
oh so theres no way to mod them?
the only way they can be modded is to add them to the player skin (which would also effect all of the young adult npc's)
There is a leg wrap cosmetic that is very similar to these though!
and can it be done? like with swapping items?
really which ones if you dont mind me asking?
it uses the same file that your player skin is - so the same file as the mods that remove the leaf patches and the underwear
you'd just need to edit the texture files
so will it put the whole outfit onto 1 item?
so like if i equip a certain skintone it will appear with the outfit?
no
I don’t know which ones off the top of my head, but I believe it’s the “Ikran rider” set
itll appear on all skin tones
its the base skin texture
the same skin texture that has the underwear
ohhhh
and the leaf pads
anyone know how to fix this issue im running into with the body being the color i got a mod for and the head not? ive been messing with the files for over an hour and still no luck. @ me if you respond please. its like a perfect circle around the head and its happening with all my skin tones the head being lighter.
first thing that comes to mind is you've got either a head file thats been lightened (i know one or two of the albino mods do this) - or your body file has been darkened
body files will be here: blue\baked\characterart\npc\rnf\default\body\female\rnf_body_01_f\textures
head files will be here: blue\baked\characterart\npc\rnf\default\head\female\rnf_head_01_f\textures
you just wanna remove whichever file is causing this (my suspicion is the head?)
I figured it would be the albino mod should I remove the file that has the albino color altogether?
I’ve replaced them multiple times with the new files but uhm lemme try again
the colour itself should be fine, the head and body will be the same - its the actual texture file itself
I am trying to get Afop to work on Vortex and I am using the Modloader extension but it fails to set the mode. I the mod version too old or am I doing something wrong?
are you using the extension to enable Afop with Vortex?
it does, I made an extension for it 😛
but that's different from offical, right?
but it's still experimental and lacking a few stuff
like if you go to the vortex page and read the list of games
yeah, no official support no. But it allow community made extensions to support more games
Yeah
ah, it shows up there yes
ok well, that extension won't be able to install the modloader directly yet (I'm about to implement that). You have to install the modloader manually. After that, you can use it to install//manage the other mods
just drop version.dll and version.iniin the game folder. After that you can use Vortex to manage it just fine
I did that, so I manually installed it and traged the file to the drag section in the extensions
ah okay
yeah, the Universal Snowdrop Modloader isn't compatible with the Vortex extension for AfoP (yet)
and thanks for trying my extension ☺️
Yeah I look forward to it's progress it will make everything so much more easier and faster
thank you! Yeah, it's still on the very first iteration, a lot to improve and some improvements already in the works ^^
Great, I hope it will do the trick for the few cosmetics I use.
to clarify my response, yes, Vortex shows Afop in the list of compatible games, but it will be labeled "Community" though
nice and hopefully. And happy to help
oh interesting
Meh still not working, this is the message I get
huh, it's saying a game file is missing 🤨
Yeah but that shouldn't be possible
I put afop_plus.exe as a requirement, but I think it's not available on all types of installation
Yeah I don't have the _plus.exe I just have afop
interesting. I'll remove it from the requirements. For now, copy afop.exe and rename as afop_plus.exe. I don't think it will break anything
I have it on Uplay and I got both, that's why
The files have different contents, they're not the same size
I see, but I don't think it will cause issues with Steam since it's not expected there anyway. My extension just expects it to exist
This didn't seem to work the game wouldn't open if I named it like this but I will try to make a completely new file named afop_plus.exe
nope
hmm
mind if I DM you real quick?
I think it'd be good to do it here on the server, so anyone who possibly has the issue in the future will see what worked
oh, it's just I was going to ask them to edit a file of my extension as a "hotfix" for now until I properly release an update 😄
I just wanted them to get it working for now
Ah it's alright I will continue to fix it tomorrow. It's very late here. But you can DM me the instructions if you want. I will try it when I can.
ah all good. I'm working on a fix for that. I'll tell what you can do then in case I don't release it later ^^
Thanks
did anyone try to make human skintones for na'vi?
i think i remember someone trying that but idk
yeah I saw something about as well, it didn't work because the blue tint I think (it's not tied to the skin itself but comes from the player's skin choice or something)
Hey there. I have released a hotfix just for that Steam related issue, I had no time to implement everything else I wanted though (like it being able to manage the modloader xD ). Feel free to give it a try and let me know if you still have issues
Oh super, thank you so much
It can be fixed, it's just a manual thing that has to be done
The "tint" is something that's applied to all na'vi, npcs included
It's an actual texture
So like.. It's easy to fix but people just don't want to (Me included)
Something I've only really seen done for major skin mods
I see. Yeah, I meant it's not from the skin texture itself but something applied onto it, that makes it tricky I guess. I vaguely remember someone trying it and ending with a purpleish human skin 
@glossy moth Hell yeah it's working. Thanks a lot mate.
of course happy to help
I finally got around to downloading some mods yesterday, and gosh it was easy... I've done a couple ikran skins myself in the past so I know how the file paths work
I'm still using the old modloader, though, so I should probably upgrade that some day
Glad you found it easy; we really try to make the process as straightforward as possible, but there's only so much we can do if someone's not familiar with file explorer 😅
Yes! I've also helped many others download mods, which definitely helped my case lol
that's why I'm making an extension for Vortex, to make it even easier 😁 but I'm still learning how Vortex does stuff then it's not fully implemented yet 😬 (I would say only mods with "blue" folder in the package is 100% guaranteed to work for now lol)
So what is vortex and why would someone use it over just the universal snowdrop modloader?
I think Vortex automatically downloads them for you? Correct me if I'm wrong tho
these are two different things.
Universal Snowdrop Modloader is what actually loads the mods in the game, you still needs it even if you use Vortex.
Vortex is just a tool to manage the mod files, so instead you unpacking stuff and placing it on the proper places Vortex will do that for you
TL;DR: USM is the mod loader, Vortex is a mod manager
Ahhh ok
yep, you can download and install them directly in Vortex (it will require an additional extension to be able to access Nexus Mods page from within it though), or you can download them through a regular browser and drop them onto Vortex for installing
Starting Vawta's From the Ashes outfit way too early LOL
@pale basin can you send a picture of your AFOP folder? The same one where afop.exe is
You need version.ini
You seem to no- yup
I win garm
So the modloader comes with version.dll and version.ini, and you need to put both into that folder
Oh, do I take out the dll and replace it with the ini?
This time 😉
oh my gosh if that was my problem i swear, thank you guys, I will try and that!
You need both
The only two things within the zip is the version.dll and something just called version, I am assuming both of those is what i need in the AFOP.exe
Oh I see, nevermind I figured it out I think
It worked! Thank you guys so much
Great!
The only thing not working is the albino mod i have, it works for the head but then it cuts off at the neck and the rest is default colors
I've redone the files for the albino mod too for the head and body but it still won't work, wondering if it conflicting with another mod I have
It might. go to its file path and see if there are any files there by the same name.
i think it may be trying to conflic with the natural nudity mod I have
Yes, they seem to share the same files.
So do I delete the folder for the mods and restart on that?
i got rid of the mod but now there is still a distinct color difference between the head and body, no idea how to fix that, and my feather top mod is half working, it is there but another piece of armor is laying over top of it
i think i am going to delete all mods and restart, just not do the albinism one
Hey, any updates about the starter pack not being in the shop?🤔 or no answer from ubisoft?
I dont know if I write to the right theme, but does anybody know how can I delete the shader cache in ubisoft folder?
They said that they don't handle store issues and locked the thread. I haven't gotten the courage to open a ticket on the website yet, because that's guaranteed to be an awful time
😕
Sad
I was like
Why do you have a "store" tag for posts then. Not even getting into how my post wasn't a purchasing issue
I bet they were just looking for a reason to lock it because they didn't care
They've been very lock-happy the last few months
😐
Then why create a server to help people when you're just going to lock every thread
Nah, they greatly increased it just a couple weeks ago. I'm guessing they got new instructions or smth. I kinda understand why, but also I see many threads where they could've provided much better support by not closing it and waiting for a reply.
Exactly. We don't even get the opportunity to say "hey, wait, this doesn't solve my problem or help me in any way or answer my question"
Yeah :(
maybe a bit of a random question but I feel like the folks here actually have the answer—did they ever fix that weird bug a long time ago where even if you purchased ikran skins they only showed up in one save? but if you accidentally deleted that save you lost total access to them anyway, even after that first patch?
Is there any mods that have more hair options for your Navi anyone knows about?
There's a few that give special npc hairstyles
if u search up hair
I don't think they've fixed the part about needing the save with the skins. Someone said they were able to get them back by reinstalling the game
^
I managed to fix my missing ikran skins through messing around modding, but I tried to help someone else w this method and it didn’t work for them
I can see if I can find it again and you can try it but idk if it’ll work 
i'd much appreciate that :,)
Try the website methinks
I had an issue with the ingame shop just not appearing at all, the website worked though
Website/launcher/whatever
Thank you I will give it a try 
anyone made a tsu'tey set
Well we can't make it exactly because we currently can't import 3d models
buuuuuut
There's an unused top in the game that looks pretty similar which I have made useable with a bunch of recolours :)
https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/434
I might work on a Tsu'tey inspired recolour
combine this with the Hell's Gate necklace and Fusse's paint and there's Tsu'tey
I was thinking about also using the ikran rider chestpiece
oh, and the feathered hair
Not the fabric but the ropes
yeah that would work, and mesh well with that one
And feathers
I think I'll keep this in mind for the character bundles I want to make
guys please help me with the recolors idk what im doing wrong
Uhh note that I have no idea and may be making up nonsense- looks like g_p_vanity_upperbody_02 is part of the file path and then needs to lead to a folder named textures?
omg thank you i got it 😭
Hello could anybody mod the herabilsts cuff into being replaced by the child of two worlds bracer? Becouse one of my friends tried and the assets didnt load so the Palm part didnt show could anybody make it to show?
@pine oracle is there a way for you to mod this? I’ve seen you do some amazing mods 😆
these assets are broken
awwwww mannnnn
its possible however it does involve making preorder/paid items free which is a whole lawsuit waiting to happen
im not willing to risk being sued
i dont have the money for that 💀
Yeah let’s not get you sued 💀 your mods are literally 🔥
pretty sure the textures themselves are broken as well
like they go hot pink?
i think u can make it a armgaurd which would work tho no?
no, they dont align
if someone wants to get sued, sure
i havent really touched that set
LOL
I figured it out lol
dw not gonna publish it or anything like that
we love being law abiding
I want to use this one so bad but it's the only mod that just won't work for me for some reason
Hey yall @proud saddle and I are curious if anyone can make this look more cohesive
You mgraphed the child of two world sets without owning it? I would really take this down because that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Which I'm pretty sure I've told you before anyway, looks like you still went ahead with it.
That's fine it's just Sarentu has still gone ahead with this despite me ( and others ) informing them more than once that this is not a good idea.
I just don't want them to get sued that's all. I actually think they still have me blocked
I don’t want them sued either 
I actually own this set proper and they do too but it’s only Xbox and they no longer play on Xbox just pc so it’s really crushed their spirits that they can’t have it on their pc now
That is unfortunate however it's still not a good idea - there are also Ubi members in this server.
Yeah that’s what I said
-# should the ubis be summoned?
I'm genuinely not sure how it would all work or if the ubis have the power to do anything? But I know this isn't Sarentus first time doing it.
They've deleted the image.
Yeah let’s just delete this please because none of this is my fault 😭
I’m just here to help people 😭😭😭
They should still have it on pc as it’s cross platform so long as the ubi account is logged in to both.
Nobody is saying it's your fault & nobody is blaming you, it's okay
I’m like almost in full panic mode 😭
I’m sorry
You cannot get in trouble for someone else's actions.
The world is not ending, it's not your fault, it's okay
There's nothing to be sorry about, you didn't mod it for them as you've said, it's okay.
I play both PC and XBOX and I’ve never had this issue..
It's not really an issue it's more about tempting a lawsuit
btw yall i didnt even mod it Kell did and my other modder friend helped me so why yall blaming me.
No i mean about my cosmetics from the game itself.. as my Ubisoft and Xbox and steam are all linked..
Kell did? it could've been a mistake or done in confidentiality even so you probably shouldn't have made it public either way.
That’s wild like it’ll show on their Xbox but not on their pc so I dunno
they did it with no problem so im sure u do not know what ur talking about
I'm fully aware with what I'm talking about and I'm sure the ubis would agree with me as it has been asked before.
but like why r u blaming me dude i didnt mod the thing 😭
I ( and others ) told you it was a bad idea multiple times, you still went along with it. I do not care what you do but I'm warning you incase you get in trouble.
but like why are you acitng like i modded it when i litearrly didnt
and dont blame me for it at all since i didnt mod it
and yes i went along with it and? what about it why do you care?
I know you didn't mod it, I'm trying to stop you from posting about it every 5 seconds because the child of two worlds set was a pre paid bonus, not something that people should have now.
Because I don't really want you to get in trouble but if that is a risk you're willing to take you are more than welcome.
why do you care about what i do just stay out of my buisness
Bro, why are you being so defensive?
becouse shes litearlly poking her nose into a problem shes not invloved in so just stay out of it§
Whatever, she’s just looking out for people that mod and making sure legal action isn’t taken against them or you.. it’s nice bc she could’ve said nothing and stayed out of it, sure, but that’s not what happened and now I think we’ve all learned something and can just drop the whole thing.. 🤷🏻♀️
you made your business public, why are you getting upset at people who are actively trying to help you
if you want it to be private then go to DMs like goddamn
^ Can't stop people from replying to public messages in a public server
becouse their acting like they know best why do yall even care what im doing
oh and btw this is why im taking my anger out on these ppl
like wtf
????
what
dont act stupid Kal like bruh u litearlly said should the ubi be summoned
I reckon we should stop this conversation now, it's not going anywhere and we are just feeding the ongoing drama.
I never thought i would ever say this but i agree with Takpo it isnt going anywhere
i just got angry since Kal was about to tell ubi
The Ubi people can see this channel anyways
Btw that's literally not an excuse to take anything out on anyone
Nor was it wrong for Kal to ask as it very much was an issue
Nor was it even about you back then anyways
Lol are all of you guys 12
<@&1092767914354020372>
I saw the insult btw. I literally just misunderstood the messages. You could've easily just not been a jerk and informed me.
And I would've said sorry and deleted it
im just really mad rn okay just stop talking with me
There's only one person here insulting someone and acting like this so. Let's not loop everyone into it.
Agreed.
I never blamed you for anything, I was warning you about a lawsuit. That's all I gotta say.
yall gotta chill jesus
no u were blaming me actually
^ ( when a mod does look at this, they've said multiple aggressive things and deleted them 👍 )
Unfortunately it's not. The code has to be claimed through the xbox store on xbox and ps store on playstation, and stuff from those stores are limited to the said platform. This has been confirmed by ubi staff.
Also the reason I'm missing Sarentu heritage and Child of two worlds on PC, but have them on PS :/
Weird because I have them on both🤷🏻♀️ and never needed a code…
Could be that yours was different, somehow
I got them both through the special edition, not from a preorder. I also indeed had them as codes that I had to claim through PS store
I think the system on PC is different, but I don't know how it even works tbh
Trying to complete my guide is a nightmare because of all this. Exclusivity is a cheap trick anyway
🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ honestly who knows 🤣🤣
I just know that I have them, like I could’ve gotten them from Ubisoft directly(their rewards thingy, from kukulope (the air merchant at home tree.. is that her name or am I losing it??)
This one! Because I’m still missing like three things, and I don’t know HOW bc I use my Na‘vi senses on EVERYTHING
It's a preorder only except it isn't because you can get it with this specific Xbox version that isn't listed on Ubisoft's website and also on this other specific ps version that also isn't listed on Ubisoft's website. And you can get codes for it for any platform maybe?
My suffering is self imposed. I do this because it's "fun"
Oh noo you're on Xbox. Those three are bugged unfortunately 😭
I mostly play on my pc actually bc of the mods for cosmetics 🤭
But I started off on my XBOX
AND a specific PS version
That costs the same as the normal version, and at least here the special edition is what they sold the most
Me when I get scammed simply bc I play on pc
Same but for PS and my reason is that I don't wanna buy PS+ to play co-op, and I also don't have season pass on PS so I can't even play my saves lol
Me when I get scammed because I have to play on PC and can't use the cosmetics 😔
There'd be an ikran override, too
I think
Is it not normal that my Xbox saves and purchases carried over with a linked Ubisoft account? It’s not sounding like it’s supposed to?
It IS supposed to though.. which is what’s confusing me honestly..
i went through ubi support for this a while ago and everything is meant to carry over except the child of two worlds set apparently
Everything but things you get through the console's store*, child of two worlds just happens to be one of those because it's claimed using a code through the store :)
That’s so strange. I purchased the season pass through the Xbox/microsoft store and it still transferred
Sarentu why'd you delete?
But yeah, interesting. On Xbox?
It shouldn't be
Only in the same console family, not cross-platform
ALL of my things are shared across the game, whether I play on my PC with Steam, or on my Xbox. Including in game currency.. and all I did was connect my Ubisoft account to everything..
In-game currency should be shared, and so are cosmetics from the in-game store. The only things not shared are season pass and things bought from the console's store, like the packs claimable through a code
These for example aren't on PC, because I had to claim them through the PS store (codes used already). However, the Aranahe Warrior pack that came with the game itself transferred, even though it apparently is a PS5-only pack??
Or at least Aranahe Warrior is given to everyone who plays the game on PS5
Aranahe warrior pack probably transferred since it is in the store, so it's not "special"
Although that should also start applying to Sarentu heritage
But Aranahe Warrior didn't start in Kukulope's rotation until later, so it had some semblance of exclusivity? But the same is true of peace bringer, and afaik that didn't come with any edition
Nah, I think it's because I never had to claim Aranahe warrior through the the store. I already had it when starting the game.
So far everything that can't be accessed whenever includes child of two worlds, fiery justice, and the two twitch trinkets. At least mods allowed me to get pictures of the items and their icons for my guide -_-
I can't access Sarentu heritage, either
I believe
I don't remember any of those cosmetics in the picture
The heck
If the page I'm looking at is real, someone has listed a code for $765.64
yeah 😳
it had conversions for a buncha stuff, gbp was 500 some, aud was over 1000, and back to usd was that 700 figure
Yeah I’ve had the Aranahe warrior pack since I got the game..
haven’t seen anything about the “fiery justice” one though. Also, TWITCH TRINKETS???
these girlies right here
they streamed I think shortly after launch where you could get both, and then they had a direct over a year ago where you could get the first one
Oh 😭
quick question, would it be possible to mod a top like Varangs? like with the hanging pieces as well, or is that like...too advanced or impossible to do with the exsisting tops?
we'd need a top that already has material to work with in the area
I could play around with the tap shirt; might make a decent approximation of the look
I assume someone could, but they'd most likely first require proof that you have the set :)
As obviously making the set available to someone who doesn't have it would be illegal-ish
This is interesting, how was the PC dlc pre order accessible? Was it digital only? I’m aware the codes are only for consoles
I'm guessing digital only, I'm not even sure if they did physical copies fir PC
You’ve been asking to mod the Child of Two World set when you do not own it multiple times. This is illegal. You need to stop asking people to do something illegal.
would modding these boots in (in replace of an ankle guard) be difficult?
Ooh look up "trainers" on nexus
There were in fact some us-sized shoes chilling in the files
here I'll get it for you actually
https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/263
AWESOME
we're still so limited I'm glad your shoe dreams came true
i really hope we get more RDA cosmetics in the third DLC. ik they’re the bad guys n what not but i like avatars
they’re a cool concept
no matter what I'm stoked to get styles distinct from what we've got
Ohhh! Alrighty then! Maybe one can be modded once the dlc comes out...who knows if we might get something similar to Varangs top.
I'm straight feinding for her arm thingies. give them to me
Scrambles into here
hey guys
Uploaded something fun for you all
Have fuuuun, it includes some blank versions of the textures for you guys to make your own recolours ^-^
Well maybe I want Ninat is an incredible title lmao
Stupid titles are my thing now
I wouldike Ninat too
"Well maybe I want ninat" is perfect as a title oml
Question has anyone modded the bows?? 
Like to have different colours?
I got my husband to let me use his pc and the world of modding has been opened for me 😩
@pine oracle your better bioluminescence has changed my life 
Is it possible??
ofc
i made these for myself, - think there aren't even any bow recolours on nexusmods tho
Yeah I looked on nexus and didn’t see anything
I just want the wrappings on the blazing bow to be a purple or green colour since it’s my fav instead of red
I’m so new to all this lol 😂
STUNNING IKRAN
thank you 😊
So I wanna edit some textures and maybe even draw my own. Does anyone know how and could help me in the future?
You need an art program that can read DDS files. Apparently at least paint.net does that and is used by some.
That's unfortunately all I know about it
You need hunter to find the files, an art program, and paint.net to convert to .dds. You can draw the texture in any program, I’ve seen mods drawn on a phone before 😂
Are you in the modding discord? It’ll help a bunch
Do i have to download something before being able to use any mods on nexus?
You need to download the universal snowdrop engine modloader!
I have the hunter thing...but whenever I try to load the sdf file it doesn´t..
and no I am not?
oh do I need that for hunter to load the file?
it takes a bit to load the sdf. make sure it's this one you're opening:
"\AFOP\rogue\sdf\pc\data\sdf.sdftoc"
also make sure Hunter itself is up-to-date
I downloaded it today
I am waiting for hte loading icon to leave and then it says: 0 assets loaded
like...idk what I am doing wrong xD
I've never had that issue. try redownloading hunter i guess? idk
Or just restarting
Oh wait, you might have it se so that all files don't show up
Check the settings
So I recolored some hair feathers that someone linked here a couple of weeks ago, but I don't know the path for them, any ideas?
whats the name of the file? (theres a couple of files with hair feathers)
p_hair_feathers_01_d.dds
blue\baked\characterart\player\hair\p_hair_01\textures
Tysm!
first of all this is beyond gorgeous, but in some direct sunlight the shading seems off? Do you know what might be causing it? 💙
ahh probably the _m file
it can probably be taken out
ill test it ^^
it controls the shininess lol
hmmm nope its still like that
wait- maybe i deleted the wrong file oops
yea no the _m file isnt the culprit
seems to have been the _n file
what top are you replacing?
i havent tried them yet
but i replaced a different one i forgot what its called haha
This is the version that's in the mod, right?
as in the color/brightness is the same?
ok yeah it is... I'm not sure
try this? maybe?
its darker than the OG
still the same unfortunately
this is so strange. does it look okay without the normal file? this one's just a blank color with no detail in it
still the same 
try making it a lower opacity
a lot of the base game n files arent full opacity
ive found that an n file too bright can cause whatever this is
oh so that's the kind of brightness they worry about. not actual brightness XD
majority of the time its opacity yeah lol
this?
sorry i didnt see this, try this one and see how it looks
if it works, i lowered the opacity of the layer overall, then increased the contrast ever so slightly
Mine is already fine for me, hope this one works for others

dragon ikran done!
How'd you get the scale texture?
this fixed it! ^^ ty!
oh sweet! I'll update the mod now, thank you tseyks 🫶
Anyone have the file and path for the ikran rider premium longbow? I already have the cosmetic, I just wanna recolor it
do you want an invite to the AFOP modding server? theres lists of that kinda stuff there 😋
Oh yeah that would be nice : D
Are there any ikran harness mods like ones to look like the ones in the movies?
there is one that edits the aranahe headgear to look like something from the movie, lemme find it
Wait until the expansion comes out and there will be a few Mangkwan based mods hopefully.
Yup. Prolly ones with ||the scars too, considering the mangkwan have them in the trailer, and they look 3d 🙏||
Been working on a few for both clans, just been busy recently lol
dumb question for modders- if multiple of your installed mods are both replacing the same item (ex:researcher shirt) how do u go about choosing the one you want to use? (sorry, i’m on xbox and am not very tech savvy just curious/preparing for when i can actually use them)
usually by renaming every of them but the one you want since their names will conflict
in other words, if multiple mods change exactly the same item you can have only one of them active
-# Soon™ there will be a better way to manage it : P
thank u !
Hello everyone, could someone grant a wish? I've been looking for a mod for a long time, a mod where you can have eyebrows on the default avatar, which would either be without face paint or that it adapts to all paints.
https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/231 Is this what you were looking for?
Thank you very much, but the problem is that it says Face Paint. It replaces face paint 22, but I don't know where to find it exactly in the game, where is it located in real life because there are apparently 41 of them.
Oh that's rough, especially since the paints don't have set numbers
ouch because he says that thanks to paint we can do it on any pattern
can anyone rate how difficult modding is for a first timer? :,p
Yes.
It’s simple if you can read
If you’re talking about mod making then no idea, prob a pain in the rear.
But installing mods is simple if you can read, I spent three days confused then reread stuff and realized I put the modloader in wrong
Mod making isn't too bad once you get ur toolkit setup, but it can definitely be made easier by having someone walk you through it
ty!! i was mostly talking abt install
as long as you can read a description, youll be fine 
My problem is I skim directions and complain when it doesn’t work
Just put on your reading eyes and you’ll be okay, and if the reading eyes refuse to work then you can come here for help, and there’s fun instructions in #1391504244494045366 too
nah cos this is so real
the consequences of my own actions
We know lol
Ur a PlayStation person get out of the modding chat loser
Hello, yes I would like to, thank you and sorry for the delay.
👍
alot of mods tell me to put it into a "blue" folder, but how would it work if i just made a new folder named blue?? Since its just in a folder and has no coding in it
its magic
:c
is the "you need to download snowloader mod" thingy always suppose to pop up when u download files from a mod
even tho u alr have it
yeah it does that
oke
its just making super sure that you have it
its ragebaiting me
lmao
if the mod author marked it as requirement, yes
I agree
yum
Gren
not today
:c
could someone explain the extraction part, i dont understand it, do i extract the files and put them in the blue folder or nah?
wtf
What r u tryna install..
i know this i swear
Wait so do u need help
yea
i dont understand waht its trying to tell me
and to give a more technical explanation.. yeah, it's computer magic 😛
Thing is, the mods just "replicate" files the game already has in its data file. The modloader just "deviates" it to instead look if the files exist on your disk before looking into the game's data file, if it founds them it will just tell the game to load those instead
i love being right thats its magic
real
extract = undo zip?
idfk
the thing is it doesnt let me extract it
extract is undo zip
or i might be blind
Send a screenshot
its in german
I am german
lmao
holon
its okay computer magic transcends language sometimes
Cc an u read German
That might help
unzip is the proper term actually 😛
same thing
Ist bereits extrahiert
I can't help you I can't read German 😮
A zip ordner literally has a zipper on it. Es sieht aus wie ein Reisverschluss
Have u done the rest
well
plegh
-# hopefully I finish updating my extension real soon...
I'm thoing in my phone
hopes and jazz
Too small keyboard
lol
my english knowledge is failing me
let me translate it into german
this one seems to have multiple versions, you need to choose which one you want and get the files according it
