i do

[glossy moth]

and those are in the gear folder, right?

[hollow hamlet]

yes

blue/graph objects/gear

[glossy moth]

and are the others like this?

[hollow hamlet]

yes, but all the viles don't end with ".dds" is that the issue?

[glossy moth]

not really, it may just be your system hidding the extension

hmm, if everything is at their proper places I have no idea what might be wrong

[hollow hamlet]

D: alr, ty for trying to help <33

[glossy moth]

you have the items the mod is suppose to replace, right?

[hollow hamlet]

Not every, I meantioned before that I cant find the Woodshaper Strap Utility, but I have the weaver ankle guards

[glossy moth]

ah, lemme check a thing

[hollow hamlet]

I don't have the navi championship headgear, i i was mostly interested in this swap

[glossy moth]

disregard that, I misread a thing

[hollow hamlet]

nws

[pine oracle]

‘Tmp’ in the legs base file generally refers to kametire stuff, have a look through the kametire ankle guards and see if it swapped to them instead? Mod creator might have updated or smt and forgotten to update the pictures

[hollow hamlet]

k let me check it

[glossy moth]

yeah right, you would need just Woodshaper Strap Utility and Weaver Ankle Guards it seems. But I guess you need Hell's Gate Veteran Tactical Vest and Na'vi Champions headgear too?

[hollow hamlet]

great heavens i don't have them..

[pine oracle]

Should preview on the right as well.. nothing, if it’s working

[hollow hamlet]

any tips how to get it?

[hollow hamlet]

where do i get it from?

[mint snow]

The ankle guards you should be able to get from Koranu

[glossy moth]

I suppose Woodshaper Strap Utility is kametire stuff if I'm not mistaken

[hollow hamlet]

I don't have them..

[hollow hamlet]

I also didn't find them, i checked all 3 traders

[glossy moth]

hmm, sorry I can't recall where it comes from

[mint snow]

That is also strange, because Koranu should also have the wood shaper one

[hollow hamlet]

Oh-

[mint snow]

May be called Koranu's weaving strap or shadow puppeteers drape

[pine oracle]

Looking at the files, they haven’t updated the icons with the new gear, so you’d still be looking for the original icons in the shops etc

[glossy moth]

isn't Woodshaper related to Kametire, same as Weaver seems to be related to Aranahe?

[hollow hamlet]

koranu's protective strap is the closest one, should I try it?

[mint snow]

Well first, third on the top row is the legs you want
If we're going by that picture from before

[hollow hamlet]

it's the aranahe ones not weaver but llet me try it

doesn't work but it looks the same as the waever's lol

[mint snow]

I think I remember this mod from a while ago
Yeah tseyks is right, the mod looks like it's actually replacing a Kame'tire leg

[hollow hamlet]

going by the icon, i should have the same item equipped

[mint snow]

Yeah the mod is wrong

[hollow hamlet]

so which item should i look for?

[mint snow]

Try uniluk's ankle guards

[hollow hamlet]

uh..

i don't have cosmetics/visuals turned off or anything.. they should alteast appear on my legs but they don't

[mint snow]

I'm having deja Vu rn
Like the mod just might be broken

Hold on, describe again what you're wanting and then I or someone else will make it work. Maybe someone else, I'm not gonna be at my PC for several hours

[hollow hamlet]

Alr so I want uniluk's ankle guards to change into The Vanity Upperbody (Bone Torso gear) from the mod

[mint snow]

Ik I said I'm not at my pc, but I had the file in one of my mods I could download

try putting this in in blue\graph objects\gear

[hollow hamlet]

the other files stay where they are?

it somewhat works

the koranu's thing also works, tysm <33

[fathom owl]

Hi everyone! I just wanted to ask how I could go about recoloring the feathers in our character's hair?

[tacit vale]

There is a file responsible for all feather props ingame

Its called "p_hair_feathers_01_d"

[fathom owl]

I managed to find it! I tried to change the colour to experiment but I'm not sure how to load it into the game

[fathom owl]

also tysm for responding ❤️

[tacit vale]

Theres a file w all the namings by folders

Like how youre supposed to arrange the file to put into the game

[fathom owl]

do I just need the "p_hair_feathers_01_d" and nothing else in the textures folder?

[tacit vale]

blue\baked\characterart\player\hair\p_hair_01\textures\p_hair_feathers_01_d.dds

it has to be put in this specific folder order

[fathom owl]

okki! I'll give it a shot, tysm for the info

yay it worked! Tysssm

[tacit vale]

[strong pilot]

What're the folder paths and names for the default sarentu gear?

[brittle garnet]

does anyone else has that in their store? I don't have the dlc, I was just curious with the packs and then I see that

[strong pilot]

Yep, I think all?

[dusky temple]

could someone dm me and provide a link to the modding server if its no trouble?

[solar rover]

I do as well

had to do a double take lol

[dreamy merlin]

I’m looking in Hunter, wanting to mgraph some npc stuff from the dlc and I’m only finding mreflex and mcloth files. Can I do anything with these?

[dreamy merlin]

Nevermind, the mgraphs were just in an unconventional spot

[marsh loom]

Any modders out there willing to edit the feather colors on the hair style "Aleymun's Hair Style"

It's the hair with the yellow & blue feathers

[tribal marten]

Chat I'm stuck on this part of downloading the "Space's Custom Ikran Skins" , I did all the previous steps correctly but it seems it isn't working because I'm doing the third step wrong ? Can anyb help

[tame path]

There will be several folders for whichever skin the color replaces, it looks like. choose which skin you want replaced and put it in the juice folder

[fair sparrow]

Hey y'all, with the release of a makwang cosmetic finally now I wanted to ask if it would be possible to mod it?? Since it's a complete override and you can't mix the items ect..

Or like in general the new cosmetics since they are all overrides right?

[safe veldt]

im in search of the expressions mod

saw it was there but i cant findit

[tame path]

Look in the modding discord, not on nexus

[safe veldt]

ahhh may i get an invite to it?

[safe veldt]

-# quietly pings u cus i really want the mod

omg nvm i didnt notice the message request

[marsh loom]

Do you have an invite?

[dreamy merlin]

This is indeed possible

I put just the waist and feathers on my oc a bit ago, just have to mgraph it to something else

The game treats every part of the overrides as individual pieces (head, torso, waist) that can be modified separately

[tame path]

DMs

[fair sparrow]

Could you DM me how to do it? I'm debating whether to purchase it and I'd like to know beforehand how it works

[dreamy merlin]

Sure

[languid shard]

Good morning/evening. I need some help related to mods. Can anyone DM me? I kinda remember how to...but I'm not sure if its the right way...or if things changed since the last time I played.

[tardy gazelle]

Hello. Does anybody having a problem with the ATWOW Neytiri outfit? Sometimes my body texture is white, in character editor the outfit dissapears, and my mods are completely crazy.

[young fox]

yeah i've had the white skin when taking that costmetic off, if you go in to body paints and put on/off a paint it fixed that for me, haven't found a fix for the disappearing outfit but my other mods have been fine thankfully

[young fox]

hiya, so sorry to bother would it be possible to get a dm as well on how you separated cosmetics?

[tardy gazelle]

ty

[strong pilot]

Character editor as in where you edit the hair, paints, face, etc? I believe headgear (and thus full overrides with headgear) are supposed to disappear there so you can see the correct hair 🤔

[languid shard]

.

[tardy gazelle]

My problem was the complete body skin was white after wearing the new Neytiri outfit, I did nkt have problem with the hair. 😮

[strong pilot]

Ohhhh

[tardy gazelle]

But I quit the whole game, restarted the computer and so far it seems fine since then. 🤣

[strong pilot]

That's good to hear!

[dreamy merlin]

Does anyone know the file path to retexture override items? specifically the ash items

[dreamy merlin]

Nvm I found it by making Hunter treat everything as a raw file

[ornate raft]

Hi everyone! Do you guys think its possible to get the tsu'tey ikran pack and the mangkwan ikran armor and erase the paint from the mangkwan and replace the paint with the beautiful blue from the tsu'tey ikran pack?😊

So this way you can have the awesome paint with awesome armor?🤓

[tribal coyote]

I just bought the hell gate vet pack because i wanted the hair tie. I didn't realize i couldn't wear headpieces with it. I installed the mod that make it so you can replace the waist mod with the hair tie but is that the only available options?

[mint snow]

Another option is to just get the main file of the same mod that turns off the forced hair, so you can wear the actual hair tie

[mint snow]

I'll look into it later; probably have to wait until whatever's happening is resolved so I can actually get into the game

[tribal coyote]

oh the actual mod author lol i want to use it with the visor mod and both of your files share the same names. Can i rename them or would that render them unusable?

[mint snow]

Yeah you can rename them

You have something in mind or you know where to go from here?

[tribal coyote]

no idea

[mint snow]

Ok
So the visor is on the waistcloth mod..
What do you want to put the hair on?

[tribal coyote]

no the visor is on the headgear mod. I want to try your main mod instead of the optional waistcloth replacement.

these files share the same names however

(i don't know anything about modding so sorry if it's all stupid questions lol)

[mint snow]

Ooh okay that's a lot simpler which is good for you
Toss mine and use the visor textures

[tribal coyote]

so i just use your juice file?

[mint snow]

Yes

I included the textures to remove some floating bits when worn without the intended hair, but they're not strictly necessary

And the visor will remove those bits anyway

[tribal coyote]

ah ok, thank you for the answers and the mod !

[ornate raft]

is it technically possible to modelswap various different pieces from the paid packs content? I own the packs, but I don't like how you can't combine 🥲 For example, the ikran headgear, from way of water, Tsu'tey chest, and waist with skin texture from ashes pack?

[tame path]

DM's

[young fox]

hiya, i'm curious as if anyone knows a method for switching skins or saddles from the cosmetic ikran bundles? have found the skin image files and the saddle_bridle image files and have been playing around with the paths and not had any luck so far so curious if anyone knows if this is/isn't possible - re using the jake saddle on tsuteys ikran skin or such

[mint snow]

Rn it isn't—think of it like, the models for the saddle and override ikran exist separately, but they've only been given instructions on how to exist together. And we can't create new instructions

Jake's and Neytiri's ikran can have their skin pattern changed, though

[young fox]

Thanks for the tip! Do you by chance know the file path for their ikran pattern change?

[mint snow]

It's blue\gameplay\vanity\juice; Jake's is rnf15 and Neytiri's is rnf14

[young fox]

thank you very much! fear i've had no luck with changing their skin patterns so will wait to see if anyone releases any mods of this, cheers for the help and happy holidays

[tribal coyote]

Do the cosmetic mods work on So'lek in the dlc? like 4k skin, eyelashes and stuff?

[mint snow]

eyelashes might, but he has his own skin textures

[tawdry remnant]

Is it easy to get 4k skin?

[tame path]

there's a few mods out for it so yes

[wooden plaza]

Guys, sorry if I miss the bus. That "gameplay" mod folder can be enabled back? Because before i read here that it need to be disabled in order to able to play in the new update.

[spark ice]

Hey guys!! Just joined and was wondering a quick question. Anyone know how modding works? I'd really love to get into it like through a discord or tutorials or anyway :3 I use Ubisoft on PC so not really steam :3

[strong pilot]

Depends on the mods you have there, I'd go through them and see which work or don't and which have been updated

[pine oracle]

It can’t simply be re-enabled, the mods themselves that were in the gameplay folders had to be updated or a new version of the mod uploaded to nexus since the code changed

[pine oracle]

I can send you an invite to the modding discord if you’d like 😋

[spark ice]

would love this!! If its not too much trouble ^^

[lost pine]

what is the modding discord? it sounds intriguing

[pine oracle]

A place where people learn how to mod afop and create their own mods and such

Want an invite too?

[lost pine]

yes please :D ive been making basic ikran skins but would love more knowledge

[calm marsh]

could i also ask for an invite? i've been hoping to see and learn so i can make my character feel more like himself, if it's okay that is

[restive sable]

is anyone able to make a cummerbund for so'lek and or edit the tsu'tey character override to remove the headgear

[latent arrow]

Could I bother you for an invite as well? 👉👈

[stark turtle]

has anyone figured out how to mod the Child of Two Worlds outfit in the dlc into other clothing yet? ive seen people do it on tiktok but everyones gatekeeping how to find and change it

[glossy moth]

there is a tutorial for it in the modding server

[stark turtle]

could i possibly get a link or invite

My friend and I have been hunting through hunter files for hours

[glossy moth]

sure, may I DM you?

[stark turtle]

sure let me open my dms rq

[glossy moth]

not sure if I can share it here since I see everyone doing so through DMs

[stark turtle]

Either is fine man whatever your comfortable with

[young fox]

hope everyone is having a lovely holiday, may i possibly also receive an invite to the modding discord? happy for dms

[restive sable]

Would u be able to also send me an invite

[glossy moth]

sorry I was offline, did someone else send you it?

[restive sable]

no still havent got an invite.

[glossy moth]

ok, sent in DM 😁

[restive sable]

thank you much appreciated

[ornate raft]

Is anyone able to help me with body paints on how to create? I have no idea what all these different colors represent 😕

[glossy moth]

I see you are in the modding server, there are tutorials about that there

[ornate raft]

Is anyone able to extract and make a sererate Mangkawn skin texture? 🙂

[ornate raft]

perfect, thank you! 🙂

[bleak helm]

i think one of my mods bugged and now i can't take off this headgear

[drowsy talon]

can some one maybe help me with modding? ^^ if i wanna add more than 1 i just mess up with the files and i dunno what to do

or could someone shoot me an invite to the modding discord server?

[sage root]

sure! can i dm you it?

[drowsy talon]

yes ofc!

[fathom owl]

Hi! Could I please get an invite link to the modding discord server?

[mint snow]

Oh seems you're in already

[fathom owl]

I managed to find it!

[unkempt minnow]

Hey everyone! could I get an invite to the modding server?

[cerulean sigil]

could I also get that invite passed my way hrh

[ornate raft]

just about done, just need to make a few color changes to the hair, and the warpaint/underwear seam,etc Thank you to everyone who helped out!! 😊

[dusky temple]

oh my goodness they look awesome!!! how did you get the waistcloth to work?? are you using the regular body or the mangkwan one?

[ornate raft]

You are too kind! Model swaps (: regular body

[dusky temple]

oh whattt i tried doing an mgraph swap with the mangkwan waistcloth but it just clipped inside the body lol

[ornate raft]

Oh I replaced the field wastecloth with the waist from mangkwan 🙂

[sinful geyser]

My girl Tusu’ra

[dusky temple]

people are doing model swaps to remove the child of two worlds outfit for their sarentu, so yes its technically modding but i dont think theres a mod released for it
theres guides on how to do it yourself in the modding server though ^^

[sonic kite]

oh i already figured it out. i forgot to delete the message :_

[dusky temple]

😭😭

[plush glade]

guys im looking for amp suit model can someone help me

[fair sparrow]

the textures dont seem to load even tho I have no mods active for the dlc

[mint snow]

No
Also spoilers
But usually that's either an issue with the game with streamer dedicated budget

Or
And I've noticed that fta generally has worse performance than the main game, and also that character textures seem to have lowest priority

[fair sparrow]

yeah I noticed that too, it tends to bug out extremely when it starts raining or after cutscenes

[mint snow]

Oh the rain has been killer since the third person update for me
Ig it's worth checking your graphics config, but if it's not an "always" thing then idk if there's anything to be done on our end necessarily

[ornate raft]

Would someone be able to help me? I'm trying to figure out what the file path is for this texture... this texture is one of the hair asscories from the ash people, specifically the braided hairstyle.. I did the retexture, I can't figure out where it goes in the file path.. there is no mgraph file in hunter.. anyone have any guesses? 😄

[vivid condor]

The neck seam.. please, I have uninstalled the main game 3 times.. and have only downloaded the Albino mod.. but for some reason all Na'vi npcs have this happen to them. It never happened when I 1st downloaded the mod this morning.

Am I doing something wrong or is this how its meant to look?

I really like this mod and would hate to get rid of it.

[pine oracle]

The albino mod will do this if it edits the base skin texture to lighten it (which this one clearly does)

You did nothing wrong here

You could try another albino mod which only edits the normal skin colour files, not the skin textures as well

[strange wind]

could i get an invite to the modding discord server pls?

[vivid condor]

I figured it was something like that, damn, I am currently looking for another mod to replace this one.

Thank you for letting me know, I was pulling my hair out thinking I was messing up the installation.

[strange wind]

also might anyone know why my modpack keeps insta-crashing upon launching lol? 😭 i can provide pics or things if necessary but my previous modpack at like 45 mods and all randomly thrown in worked perfectly, but now my new more intentional one with half that amount and 0 discrepancies is instantly crashing and im losing my mind loool

[pine oracle]

do you have any mods in the gameplay folder

they broke with the third person update

if youve downloaded an old one

[sinful geyser]

Can anybody send me the invite to the modding dc?

[dreamy merlin]

Has anyone figured out a way to make the ash override use different hair? Like make it use hair 4 instead of hair 5?

[strong pilot]

Headgear cosmetics are 2 separate items (hair and the actual headguard), so I'm guessing the hair on that one is also probably. In that case, finding and renaming something should work.

[dreamy merlin]

I ended up doing some digging and I found the setting in headgearhairmodificationsettings.juice

[strange wind]

oohh if the mods in these folders count towards that then yes. theres a flying mod, inventory increase, a juice folder with an ikran skin in the vanity folder, and a juice in the weapon folder filled with weapon behavior mods

still v new to modding with nexus lol & its been a while since i used it

though even my vanilla game is giving my troubles now after uninstalling and reinstalling it so it might be a totally non-mod related issue lol

[pine oracle]

yeah this will be the case then, any mod that hasnt been updated since FTA came out is causing the crashing - im guessing the code got updated so the old mods dont work anymore since theyre still using old code

[strange wind]

ahhhh i see ty! ill try removing those then!

[paper hamlet]

hi! could i get an invite to the modding server?

[north hinge]

hey can someone jump in a vc with me and help me get some mods

[tribal coyote]

the mods applied to our sarentu in the main game are visible in the ashes dlc? (skin, paints etc)

[north hinge]

can someone vc and help me understand how to do the mods please

[strange wind]

tsekys you’re a real-life wizard bc that ended up working perfectly tysm

i have a follow-up question if anyone might know!
if i already started a new save file and were to add a mod or 2 into the pack, would they corrupt the current save file? or would i have to start a new save?

[strong pilot]

Skin and paints will be, as they modify the game files for all that characters use the said skin or paints :)
Same goes for better bioluminescense, cluster eyelashes, hairs, etcs. What won't work is gear mods, unless you rename them to match the DLC gear

[deep grove]

Hello! i wanted to get some mods in to my game for some pretty skins and stuff... i downloaded the "Universal Snowdrop Modloader" and put the "version.dll" in the AFOP folder like it was said in a video, now i wanted to see how to get an ikran skin in to it and it says that i should put it in \Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\AFOP\blue\gameplay\vanity\juice but i dont have the blue folder (and everything after that ofc)? would someone be able to help/explain? + i hope this is the right place to ask?

[bleak helm]

hi there! any folders that are "missing", you just create them yourself and put the respective files in them ^^

[deep grove]

ah thank you! i will try that now then :D
and btw is doing it manually better or is this whole vortex stuff the better option when someone is new to adding mods? 0-0

[velvet wind]

could someone walk me through how to replace the COTW outfit in the dlc? i'd love to use the one i myself own but im not really sure how to go about it, which files to replace and such

[bleak helm]

there's a tutorial in the afop modding discord if you'd like an invite?

[velvet wind]

sure!

[deep grove]

i now made that blue folder with all the extras for the ikran skin, now i wanted to download this https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/284?tab=description
but it has its own blue folder? do i just copy whatever is in the blue folder and put it in the one i made?

[pine oracle]

They wouldn't corrupt the save file no, the game would just open with them active 😋

i know someone has adjusted their bow stats before, crafted it and then gotten rid of the mod and they still have the boosted bow

[tame path]

you need to also install the .ini for mods to work, and mods with existing blue folders can just be drag and dropped into your AFOP folder

[glossy moth]

surely I might be biased, since I made it compatible with Vortex 😛
But I would say yes, Vortex can make it easier since you won't need to deal with file shenanigans, Vortex will manage that for you

[deep grove]

i decided to go with vortex after it not working 1st try xd, now everything works fine! but i saw some mods dont have a vortex download, do i just do that manually then? or do i not touch it so i dont mess anything up?

[glossy moth]

possibly that's because the mod author chose to not mark it as Vortex compatible. It might still work with Vortex depending on how it was packaged.
You can just download it manually and install it through Vortex, either by dragging onto the bottom part of the Mods tab or using the button on the toolbar on top

if you can tell me what mods I may check to see if it's compatible

[deep grove]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/238
its this one 0-0

[glossy moth]

hmm it shows the Vortex button, it's just it's named differently in the file list 😄
Click that "Mod manager download" button and it should bring up Vortex and start the process in it

[deep grove]

ohhhhh!

it did not show it on here so i was very confused, thank you for the help!!

[glossy moth]

however, a caveat: "Feathers - Researcher Shirt retexture" should work fine, "Additional Colors" won't be properly recognized by Vortex, it will install fine but won't work in the game. If you want to use that I can guide you on how to install it with Vortex

ah yeah, If there is just a "Manual" button it may be because it has multiple main files (like this one). Clicking it takes you to the Files section

[deep grove]

ohh that would be nice!!

[glossy moth]

I'm still working on giving proper support for those mods, but there is an easy workaround for now 😄

[deep grove]

oh and is there any way to change what ikran skin gets changed? or is that just something the person making the new color can decide?

[deep grove]

oh thats nice :D

[glossy moth]

it's defined by the mod author yeah

you could change that by messing with the mod files though

but authors usually pick rarely used stuff to change, like the human/tap gear for clothing stuff

[deep grove]

makes sense

i just dont know if i want to buy a whole ikran color pack for one recolor xD

[glossy moth]

yeah for ikran skins I think authors use base game skins, like ones you unlock by default

[alpine shoal]

I want to get rid of the swarms of things around the map. Or just make them invisible. Has anyone done that already?

They make my screenshots kinda ugly so I edit them out anyway and I'd rather not do that

Every time

The flocks of ikran and medium flyers are fine but the bug swarms have got to go

[alpine shoal]

Theres a discord for it? Is an invite still available?

[lost pine]

it might not be what youre looking for, but i remember in the settings there is a feature to turn down the amount of small insects or something along those lines that indicate high value materials in the world

[alpine shoal]

Hmm ok. I'll try that. Im not annoyed by the ones near the ground just the clumps of them in the sky

[lost pine]

u should ask for a link to the modding server, u can ask if someone there would be willing to mod those out for you

the community is very generous and i sure they can help you out in one way or another

[alpine shoal]

Found the link to it, thank you so much.

[stable sand]

Heyhey so sorry for the ping! I was just wondering if I could also get an invite/link to the modding server for this specifically!

[crisp berry]

Is it possible to mod the game to show armor mods (the little gadgets and trinkets) with cosmetics from the shop? I love the Great Games armguard, but also like my little hacker tech mod

[dreamy merlin]

I don’t believe so. If you make a marketplace item replace a non-market item (which would allow use of an armor mod), the armor mod isn’t visible

The game registers that you’re wearing it (for example if you replace the armor mod with something like a hair, the hair will still show) but it doesn’t display the mod on the armguard

I hope that wasn’t too confusing, I’m bad at phrasing things

[alpine rose]

is there any mods that can help locate stuff better

[pine oracle]

There aren’t mods for that

But there are interactive maps online you can use

[alpine rose]

i got a few mods but to install do i drag the blue folder to the main game folder

[glossy moth]

yep

[strong pilot]

So, what mods do you have?

[uncut badger]

Universal Snowdrop Modloader

Pouch – More Stash Slots (x8 / 2000)

[mighty flax]

hate to be a bother, but could someone give a link to the modding server, if its no trouble?

[glossy moth]

REVERIE-1-2 is related to servers being offline, that they currently are, it shouldn't have anything to do with mods

I'm not sure if that works on the current version - it hasn't been updated since the start of November, and uses the "gameplay" folder in which many of old mods don't work. The description mentions the December 5th update that changed things, but I'm not sure what the 🆙 emoji means, the others have ✅ in front

[uncut badger]

Yes, but; when i launch with no mod work good, with mod i have the error

[strong pilot]

Ahhh, that's good to know

[alpine rose]

my game crash when i add mods to main game folder

[glossy moth]

so that might be what Kxarmì just mentioned. Some mods using the "gameplay" folder got broken with the 3rd person update, causing the game to not load at all

[uncut badger]

So i have to wait a update

[glossy moth]

try just rename/remove the "gameplay" folder and see if the game works

[glossy moth]

pretty much

[uncut badger]

Ok, i go try this

[alpine rose]

do we know what mods work

[uncut badger]

same error without the folder, so Universal Snowdrop Modloader need to be update

[glossy moth]

I tested a few and I had like 2 working just fine, a couple others got updated already

[glossy moth]

maybe try to do a clean up and resinstall the mods one by one, maybe there are some leftovers of those mods that still break stuff

let me check something

[uncut badger]

Hum launch on nexus put this error

[glossy moth]

what platform do you use? Steam? Ubi Connect?

[uncut badger]

Steam

[mint snow]

Is the stash mod by thanhnext? I'm not sure they've updated any of their mods yet

[glossy moth]

yeah

[uncut badger]

Without any mod, if i launch the game on nexus i have the error

[glossy moth]

Nexus?

[uncut badger]

Vortex* sorry

[glossy moth]

ohh

[uncut badger]

I have the old name in my mind

[glossy moth]

all good 😄

ok, would you mind to help me with something (that might also help you)?

[uncut badger]

Sure

[glossy moth]

let me check a few things real quick

[strong pilot]

The modloader should be all fine
Source: I used the old version (afop modloader) until like the 16th

[uncut badger]

Yep

[glossy moth]

yeah, modloader is fine

[uncut badger]

Oh ok

[glossy moth]

I just got a report about running the Steam version of the game through Vortex caused the REVERIE-1-2 error. At first I dismissed it as it's related to connection error as I said above. But now I have 2 similar reports, so I suspect some misconfiguration somewhere 🤔

[uncut badger]

No idea, I can't help with that 🥲

[glossy moth]

Ok @uncut badger please try this. You don't need to even have Vortex running for the mods to work, Vortex is just a mod install manager. What happens if you run the game directly through Steam? I suspect you were runing the game through Vortex using this button, right? 👇

[uncut badger]

Exactly, I do use that button. if i launch on steam work good

[glossy moth]

gotcha

and running through Steam, the mods work fine?

[uncut badger]

No 🥲

[glossy moth]

huh

[uncut badger]

Maybe the mod for the stash need a update

[glossy moth]

ok, please in Vortex go to the Games tab and click the 3 dots button over the AFoP tile and show me it. It should looks like this

[glossy moth]

ok, now click that path on top (C:\Program Fliles....), it should open the game folder, show me it

[glossy moth]

and the bottom part 😁

[glossy moth]

hmm, you didn't install the modloader through Vortex, right?

[uncut badger]

nop

[glossy moth]

ok. That's not an issue, just wondering based on your files

ok, now show me the "blue" folder

[glossy moth]

oh, you have only one mod installed manually? No mods installed through Vortex?

[uncut badger]

yep!

I’m really bad at English, and I’m afraid I may have misunderstood part of the mod. What does it mean exactly?

( - You will sacrifice your " Ancestor Skills - Way of the Diplomat " for your increase Stash Spaces

• And you will need " Ancestor Skills - Way of the Diplomat " skill unlocked (see pictures where to find) )

Because I probably don’t have the in-game prerequisites.

[alpine rose]

i just installed some mods with vortex now im a test load game

[glossy moth]

that mod replaces the effects of one of the Ancestor Skills, those things you unlock when finding Tarsyu flowers

[uncut badger]

Eheh

I don't have this one

[glossy moth]

you will need that skill unlocked to get the effect the mod does

ah

[uncut badger]

🥲

I feel like a idiot

[alpine rose]

shadow how do i find out whats crashing my game

[glossy moth]

lol that's ok

[strong pilot]

How about the stash mod, did that work?

[strong pilot]

Renaming folders/modfiles to something different one by one

[uncut badger]

I come back later if that do't work lol

Thx for the time and help!

[glossy moth]

np, feel free to ping me and or ask around if you need more help

[uncut badger]

thx a lot

[glossy moth]

mainly if you use Vortex, feel free to ping me, I made the extension for it 😄 😛

[glossy moth]

do you have any mods using the "gameplay" folder?

[alpine rose]

what that mean

[glossy moth]

ok firstly, did you install mods manually or through Vortex?

oops nvm, you mentioned that 😄

ok, what mods you have installed?

[alpine rose]

i have thenm installsd with vortex

the mods i have are all gameplay execpt one

[glossy moth]

ok, show me the list please

[alpine rose]

this what i have

[glossy moth]

hmm, "Gameplay" there is a category, it doesn't really mean it uses the "gameplay" folder (for example, "Movie pandora" uses such folder but you have the updated and working version).

Ok, do this: right click each of them (beside Modloader, of course, and "Movie pandora" as you have a working version) and choose "Open in Fle Manager", check if there is a "gameplay" folder in the window that will open. If so, disable the related mod

But I can already tell you can disable all those starting with a dash (-). You can try reenabling one by one and see if any works

[alpine rose]

near all of them have gameplay floders

[strong pilot]

Disable the ones that do (exceot for Movie Pandora), check if the game works, then enable and disable them one by one to see which ones work and which don't

I'm not sure if Vortex automatically downloads updates, but I'm guessing it doesn't so I'd then check the non-functioning ones for updates

[alpine rose]

i downloaded them as zips before i installed with vortex

got it working now

[glossy moth]

it doesn't download them automatically but it checks for updates yes

[hard oar]

If anyone has time, could they help me? I have 6 mods that I can't get to work.

[strong pilot]

I'm going to shower, but if nobody's helped by the time I'm back, I'll be happy to help!
Though to help the troubleshooting process: if these are your only mods, please send a screenshot of your "afop" folder

[hard oar]

Can i add you?

[strong pilot]

I prefer doing stuff here on the server, and that way others can also contribute to it if they know better or can reply faster :)

[tame path]

Do you have the modloader with both files installed?

[hard oar]

i will send you my folder

[hard oar]

Yes

[fair sparrow]

||https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/583||

anyone know if this is broken or has some certain requirements? since it doesnt clearify what hair is replaced/retextured/...changed cause no matter what hair I look at ingame, the one I downloaded doesnt show up.

[alpine rose]

best way is to try stuff if it dont load then he mod is broken

[fair sparrow]

I will try the others but the feathered one doesnt show from what I tested.

[fair sparrow]

the others work perfectly fine, I probably just messed up the path or something with this one.

[glossy moth]

I suppose it uses assets from the new expansion, check if your "dlc3" folder has some content

[fair sparrow]

It worked out in the end I just messed the path up a couple of times, thanks tho!

[glossy moth]

ah 😄

[robust kestrel]

May i get an invite to the modding server? 🫶

[sinful geyser]

beautiful blind eye mod by @delicate rivet

[digital kindle]

Guys does anyone know why wearable npc hairstyles is changing the wrong hairstyles

[dreamy merlin]

They were probably named differently from what you were expecting

[prisma sky]

hey im trying to make some mods for an oc— i wanna try and make custom bioluminescent marks and skin patterns. are there any bases i should use? like a guide?

[tardy gazelle]

Hi all, can I fix somehow of the too dark shadows on the top? Should I make the _m file opacity a lower percent?

[pine oracle]

do that with the _n file instead of m

[pine oracle]

the easiest way to do that would be to import the models into blender and draw on them directly that way, rather than trying to line up all the seams and such - theres tutorials on how to do that in the AFOP modding discord if you want an invite (theres pictures and stuff attached so i cant just copy and paste easily 😭 )

[tardy gazelle]

I cant do that, it drops back to 75% after saving the file -_-

[prisma sky]

an invite would be great! thank you!

[tardy gazelle]

After save (I want to make it to 40%, it drops back to 75. So I couldnt do it. 😆😆😆 (Paint.net)).

[pine oracle]

if its not working

its likely not saved right

[tardy gazelle]

And what can I do? I just clicked on save, and tried to do save as option too but didnt work. :}

[pine oracle]

needs to be saved as a dds

and one that the game can read

[tardy gazelle]

O.O

[pine oracle]

dds is directdrawsurface

youll get a pop up in paint that looks like this

use these settings

[tardy gazelle]

Okey then I think I leave it as it is bcuz I will frick up. 😆😆😆

[pine oracle]

its not hard

just save as -> directdraw surface -> these settings

[tardy gazelle]

awhkey :o. I try.

okey so everything is the same as the window u sent me, but the file still drops back to 75% XD

[pine oracle]

how are u going about making the opacity lower

[oblique thicket]

check dms

[tardy gazelle]

here, and then I save the file

but it pops back to 75 after I check if its saved

[pine oracle]

i think thats the opacity of the brush no?

the opacity of the layer is in the layer settings

[tardy gazelle]

maybe I will check that, I never did that before but I think u telling the truth. x"D

just realized lmao

[pine oracle]

click this button

[tardy gazelle]

Okey I did it! I worked it out!

[proud falcon]

Hey , sorry if this has been asked a lot already , but does anyone know how to get ur normal clothes from the main game to apply to your character in the dlc?

[tardy gazelle]

Could anybody tell what could be the problem with this mod? The uploader updated that on the 28th, but the neckpiece still doesnt show: https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/453?tab=posts

[glossy moth]

Did you install it manually or through Vortex?

[tardy gazelle]

Manually

[glossy moth]

ok, it contains 2 variations it seems, you must pick one and rename the file

mtx_g_res_torso_skin_a1_01_d (No Armcuffs).dds
mtx_g_res_torso_skin_a1_01_d.dds
only mtx_g_res_torso_skin_a1_01_d.dds is recognized by the game

Did you sort that already?

wait, maybe you are looking at the wrong item. Description wasn't updated and the author made this comment:

I just updated all the files. The neck piece now replaces the Wanderer Strap, if it still doesn't work just let me know

[tardy gazelle]

Yeah, I wondered too. 🙁

And I just read that too.
Maybe I will have to wait for the response

[glossy moth]

oh, the last comment there was you?

[tardy gazelle]

Since 3rd person update I write as many messeges in this 2 mo ths which I ever wrote in the last 2 years xD

[tardy gazelle]

Yeah xD

[glossy moth]

I see

[tardy gazelle]

why? 😮

[glossy moth]

I just spotted a recent comment there saying it wasn't working and then you mentioned waiting for a response. I just guessed that 😄

[tardy gazelle]

Okey I understood, just a bit sleepy. haha

[glossy moth]

heh

[tardy gazelle]

Anyways theres unobtanium on Pandora so the top stays up without a neckpiece for now lmao

[glossy moth]

well then sorry, I'm out of ideas, I'm not familiar with that mod. Try to double check the paths and file names

[tardy gazelle]

Ty for your answer anyway, lets hope the creator will answer this question to my way. 😄

[glossy moth]

hopefully 👍

[ornate raft]

Hey everyone, I am trying to do a custom warpaint, and I'm looking at Akirie's tutorial... Just out of curiosity.. how does this work exactly? here are my hex codes and you will notice that my first color is black 2nd color white 3rd color black and 4th color grey, how do I choose the colors for my textures and how does the file know that cyan = white for example? 🙂

Hopefully that makes sense to someone, I need help😅

[pine oracle]

ive just checked the mgraphs in the mod (the things that swap the models) and they are right so it should be working - the tap top replaces the rebel chest guard and the necklace is definitely on the wanderer strap (working for me) - if theyre not working for you, double check theyre in the right folders (these model swaps should be in blue/graph objects/gear)

[pine oracle]

you choose the colours in the left box to paint your texture with

so that colour at the top corresponds to your color 1 (black)

the second one down would be your color 2.. white

they are like a map

for the game

the game just knows that x hex code is color 1,2,3,4 in the color file

it is coded as such

[ornate raft]

perfect, so where ever I put the white hex code color on my design in blender, it knows where and what it is? 🙂

[pine oracle]

well no

you want to paint in the colours on the left

if you paint in white in blender, the game is not going to read it properly

and might get some funky outlines and such

[ornate raft]

got it, so it has to be the exact color code # 😄

makes sense!👍

[tardy gazelle]

I will check them tomorrow. Ty! 😊

[tardy gazelle]

Interesting, I have the weaver strap mod, but it still doesnt show the neck piece lol.

every file is in the right place

[tardy gazelle]

Okey problem fixed, I teleported to The Circle to Upper plains and here I could buy a weaver strap so now I see the neck piece finally with armguards.

[crisp berry]

Successful modding thanks to people linking here! No more blue pasties under female clothing, a minimized saddle (since the Spires foot position bug seems unlikely to be addressed), and hid the Spires crossbow and flares to restore my ikran to her natural glory

[fair sparrow]

does anyone know why the tint is not the same color?? Ive had this for a while now and nothing really fixed it, is this caused by mods? cause I dont use any skin retextures

↻nor have I downloaded one, I only have a mod that changes one body and facepaint

[tame path]

It looks like you are using a skin retexture, there would be pasties on the breasts if you weren’t

The seam is because the head and body are two separate models smashed together

[fair sparrow]

ohh okay okay I think I know which one, I have one that removes the patches

maybe it broke with the update

[tame path]

No, the seam is just that bad tbh. It’s a lot less noticeable with the base skin textures because of how pixelated they are

There are a few mods that fix it. Mine has a seam in the character creator but is completely seamless in third person and photo mode

[fair sparrow]

oh dang thats annoying

[fair sparrow]

it was fine before for me but now that I noticed it I cant unsee it and my photos all look weird since it looks so different from eachother and I dont wear any tops that would cover it💔

welp thank you so much tho!🫶

[tame oyster]

Hello, all! I have downloaded the required mod menu and the mods I would like and they say they are enabled but they still aren’t showing up in game. What am I missing?

[snow tapir]

Hi im new to add mods to the game and wanted to know how to install this mod to replace the researcher shirt https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/405?tab=description

and im steam user and I added my own blue folder and idk how to add this too it

[glossy moth]

mod menu? Do you mean Vortex?

[glossy moth]

you have to create the following folders inside the "blue" folder: baked\characterart\gear\player\res\torso\base\g_res_torso_base_02\textures, then choose what color you want, check the pics there to know the number then rename the related file from the package and put it in that "textures' folder, then rename it to g_res_torso_base_02a_d.dds.

Per example, if you want the red version (number 2), get the g_res_torso_base_02a_d2.dds file from the package and rename it to g_res_torso_base_02a_d.dds, it must be inside that textures folder.

[snow tapir]

It didn't work for some reason

is there something else I must add?

am I also supposed to add the mask files?

[bleak helm]

yes

[snow tapir]

how do I add them it's quite confusing 😅

[glossy moth]

make these folders inside "blue": baked\characterart\resource\detailed_normals\hunter\character, then put these files there:

dn_cotton01_n.dds
g_res_torso_base_02a_m.dds
g_res_torso_base_02a_n.dds
g_res_torso_base_02a_reg_mask.dds

[pine oracle]

-# small side note, dn_cotton01_n goes "blue\baked\art[characters][assets][detailnormals]"

[glossy moth]

make these folders insde "blue": baked\art\[characters]\[assets]\[detailnormals] (exactly with the []) then put dn_fabric_09_n.dds in there

[snow tapir]

must I make another baked file?

[glossy moth]

-# I was just typing about that 😉

[glossy moth]

no, use the same (it's pretty impossible to have multiple folders with the same name within the same folder 😄)

[snow tapir]

do I make the resource folder here?

[glossy moth]

yep

[snow tapir]

alright

[glossy moth]

and lastly, in blue\baked\characterart\gear\player\res\torso\base\g_res_torso_base_02\textures put these files

g_res_torso_base_02a_m.dds
g_res_torso_base_02a_n.dds
g_res_torso_base_02a_reg_mask.dds

[snow tapir]

alright did all that, now gonna test it out

nope still not working

[dire jacinth]

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

Did you download this first?

[snow tapir]

yes and I added them

I have no clue why it isnt working

[dire jacinth]

Make sure the file is named 'g_res_torso_base_02a_d' with no extra numbers after it so it shows up in-game.

by default it has a number at the end

did u remove it?

[snow tapir]

in which folder will this be in?

[dire jacinth]

blue\baked\characterart\gear\player\res\torso\base\g_res_torso_base_02\textures

[still drum]

May I please get an invite to the modding discord?

[snow tapir]

this is what is in it

[dire jacinth]

im moving the files rn to see if it will work for me, gimme a min

[snow tapir]

k

[snow tapir]

yeah mines the exact same

[dire jacinth]

ye no idea then. do other mods work?

[snow tapir]

the Default skin colors work

let me try another clothing mod

[dire jacinth]

if you're on windows you could try vortex mod manager

havent tried it myself tho, so i wont be able to help

[snow tapir]

alright will do

[digital kindle]

Can i get an invite to the modding server?

[tame oyster]

yes that!

[glossy moth]

well I'm kind of the Vortex person 😛 What issues you are having?

[glossy moth]

if you try Vortex and happen to have issues, feel free to ping me

[snow tapir]

alright, thank you for the help

[digital kindle]

Does anyone have an invite to the modding server?

[snow tapir]

me too please

[tame oyster]

it says everything is downloaded and its enabled but its still not working

[still drum]

still waiting for one as well 🥺

[glossy moth]

ok sent some invites, I hope Discord doesn't mark me as spammer 😄

[glossy moth]

can you show me the Mods tab in Vortex?

[tame oyster]

do you want me to dm you?

[glossy moth]

up to you, it's fine to do it here

[wide kestrel]

When modding I manage to get a few things working but the rest I have no idea how to make work

[lavish lodge]

Can someone help me edit a DDS image? i was hoping to make it all black to match my top

[bleak helm]

recoloured my first waistcloth n' i'm pretty happy with how it turned out! 💪

[nimble coral]

Hello, may I ask for an invite to the modding server please ?

[strong pilot]

I can DM it to you!

[solid flame]

Can someone help, ive downloaded some mods (mostly tweaks like ikran skins and bioluminescence) but they aren’t showing up in the game, ive done all blue, baked etc. I’m on steam

[nimble coral]

Yes please !

[strong pilot]

I sent the DM earlier, it's probably in the message requests!

[strong pilot]

Can you send a screenshot if your AFOP folder?

[stone dew]

Which one is that? Looks nice. Also you don't have songcord?

[bleak helm]

the ubisoft connect waistcloth! and no, i have a mod that removes the songcord because i prefer the look of them being on the waistcloth instead (albeit this one doesn't have it)

[solid flame]

I just saw this now, you mean the afop.exe folder or blue??

Thats the afop folder, I’m assuming you meant this?

[strong pilot]

Yes, that's looking good!

[strong pilot]

Yup, just checking that you have both modloader files

Which mods do you have, do you have the links or names?

[mint snow]

Wrong folder

Need the one from program files, not documents

[strong pilot]

OH WAIT that's true

[solid flame]

Wait what

[strong pilot]

I just checked that the files exist 😭

[solid flame]

😭😭

[mint snow]

What do you play through

[solid flame]

Steam

[strong pilot]

[Location]/steam/steamapps/games/AFOP?

[mint snow]

I think you can open its page and choose to open file location, or I've seen people say it's in steamapps
Yeah that

[strong pilot]

Something like that, I can get on my PC and check the correct path soon

[solid flame]

Had to search it bc I don’t know where to find steam folder 😔

[strong pilot]

Dang, windows file search being fast for once

[mint snow]

Probably in one of the program files folders

[solid flame]

Where would the program files be? I don’t mess with files that often 😔

[strong pilot]

For me it's C:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/AFOP, but it'll probabky be in C:/Program Files (x86)/... for you

[strong pilot]

Here, just in the "main" folder of your drive

[strong pilot]

You can also open the folder from here

[mint snow]

Your numerous drives intimidate me

[strong pilot]

Steam library -> afof -> cogwheel -> manage -> browse local files

[strong pilot]

2x 1Tb drives, one USB for art and some backups and one USB for 3D files for a project

[solid flame]

This right?

[strong pilot]

I'll prolly get rid of the 3D file one though, I just originally got it from someonne (with the files), but he doesn't live in the mainland and said I could keep it

[strong pilot]

Then the "AFOP" folder, and then put your version.dll, version.ini and the blue folder in there

[solid flame]

Done that

[strong pilot]

Great!

[solid flame]

Then the blue folder??

[strong pilot]

Yes!

You can just drag and drop it

[strong pilot]

Yup!

Then just start your game up, and they should work

[solid flame]

Starting it up now

[strong pilot]

YHmm, maybe I'll also play the game for a while

Got some time before I'm going out w friends

[solid flame]

Do you wanna play co-op? While we’re both on? 👀👀

[strong pilot]

You got me to open my PC and inspired me to start the game up xD

[strong pilot]

I'm currently doing FtA, sorry 😔

[solid flame]

Aw it’s okayy!!1!

[strong pilot]

I'm still pretty much at the start 😔

But hey, this is also a good way to hype myself up because I'm rewatching F&A tomorrow!

[solid flame]

Only one was working so back to downloading and deleting mods 😍😍

[tame oyster]

what's the mod that lets you have your characters clothes in from the ashes?

[solid flame]

I FIGURED IT OUT

yippeee

[tame path]

is the modloader installed

[hard oar]

Yes in the afop folder

[tame path]

both files? just checking

[vivid condor]

Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

I am using the Replace Cosmetic Headgear Hairstyles with Chosen Hairstyles mod and also a white hair mod.

But it also seems to happen with any other colour I choose.

[mint snow]

The kuru not changing fully?

[vivid condor]

Yeah, It doesn't change even if I pick another color.

The white is there, its just glitching together with the original color.

[mint snow]

Are you by chance layering hairstyles?
Or also try turning off one of those mods at a time

[vivid condor]

Well I am using the mod that places the headgear hairstyles, I figured that might be causing it.

[pine oracle]

etuwas headguard mod also does this

if thats the sliver of headband i see

because etuwas headband is attached to her hair, kuru included

[vivid condor]

Thats what is it, thank you.

I was wondering why it only happened when I put on the headband.

[safe veldt]

speaking about that feather top, mine is just really darker for some reason

[strong pilot]

There isn't one single mod for it, you just need to name items in a certain way - if you already have modded clothes, you need to copy and rename the mgraphobjects. If you don't have mods yet, you need to find the correct mgrapobjects and rename them

[lavish lodge]

Can someone help me edit some dds textures? i wanna color my clothing black

[hard oar]

yes… @tame path do you know what im supposed to do ?

[hard oar]

Some1 know why under the top i have this texture ?

[mint snow]

That's what they decided to put on the fem body. It's normal, and there are mods to make it look like normal skin

[hard oar]

thx !!

[cedar mural]

are the gameplay mods still not working? like ikran speed and more inventory slots?

[dusky temple]

some gameplay mods have been optimized to the latest updates but chances are if the mod hasnt been updated since before the updates it likely wont work

if you want to try and figure out what works do it one at a time because some stuff might still break

[lavish lodge]

?

[leaden pasture]

Improved ikran has been updated to the latest release

[strong pilot]

You can use paint.net to do the coloring, then just export it as dds

[leaden pasture]

Where can I download this?

[sinful geyser]

Mia made it for me so i’m not sure

i don’t think it’s public

[leaden pasture]

Ahh okay

[tame oyster]

how do you add manually downloaded files into vortex?

[summer pewter]

how does one swap the outfit of the sarentu in the new dlc with another?

i legit cant find a tutorial anywhere

[tame oyster]

its a mod

[tame path]

It’s in the modding server

[summer pewter]

okay great

and where can i find that server?

[tame path]

dm'd

[glossy moth]

either drag the file into the area at bottom of Mods tab, or use the "Install From File" button on the toolbar. If you can't see the bottom area click the little [^] button on bottom right

[tame oyster]

Thank you!

[junior orchid]

Hello, I am so sorry for asking and probably know the answer... but I really need some mods in my game on the PS5, is there any way at all how I can use them and implement them to my PS somehow?

Could anyone help me find a way?

[tame path]

There is no way to mod the game on anything except PC

Ubi would need to make a modloader

[junior orchid]

That is not what I wanted to hear 😭

But thank you 🙏

[austere sedge]

the one uses TAP ironicly uses researchers base (i think? not sure what res stands for) @strong pilot maybe it helps

[strong pilot]

Ok, imma check those soon

I just made it to my PC

Iirc _res_ just means it uses a resistance item

[strong pilot]

Ok, that indeed is the researcher shirt that it uses

That's for the tsahik regalia, this is what the TAP shirt uses

That one's available on Ubisoft Connect with the coins you get from leveling up your Ubi account. You can open it while in-came by going to the menu, then Ubisoft Connect and then the "rewards" section

[austere sedge]

omw to try!!

[strong pilot]

If you can't get it for one reason or another, just tell me a cosmetic (override or visual) that you don't use and I can find the filename for that

[austere sedge]

in order to make it work i need to deleted color name and the line right

just gotta make sure @strong pilot

[strong pilot]

yes, delete everything after the d (so " - Mangkwan")

[lone glacier]

when i tried to use vortex i kept gettin this reverie 1-2 error but when i used base game it was fine but now when i manually load into the game my mods don't work 100% of the time had them work once

[strong pilot]

OK SO I've heard of that issue! Hold up

[lone glacier]

you were a while like ages ago saying gameplay mods could be the cause

[strong pilot]

So it's happenede to others too, but where you launch from shouldn't affect the mods

Since basically Vortex is just a middleman that's deleting the need for manual download

[austere sedge]

it worked very well @strong pilot thank you, how to say thank you in navi ?

[lone glacier]

i'm not new to modding games this one just seems to wanna be a pain

[strong pilot]

Afaik if they were the issue, the whole game wouldn't just launch (as in you wouldn't even get to where you get the reverie), but you should check if the mods that go to the gameplay folder have been updated

What kinda mods do you have?

[lone glacier]

i just cleared the whole list but i can send sc of my download list would that help?

[strong pilot]

Also, I'm pinging @glossy moth since they did the Vortex extension and might've found a way around it?

[lone glacier]

did an full clear nothing installed now but the mod loader

[strong pilot]

Did you check just what Vortex says in the category part, or the actual filepath? Afaik they vary

[strong pilot]

Ahh.

[strong pilot]

Eyyy, good to hear!
That'd be "Irayo" :)

[lone glacier]

i just wanted some cosmetic mods mostly and my ikran to fly a bit faster pretty much is all i wanted

[strong pilot]

When was the latter mod updated?

[lone glacier]

3 days ago

[strong pilot]

Oh interesting, I probably found the wrong one then xD

[lone glacier]

no 12th of december sorry

@strong pilot

[strong pilot]

Ok, so that's prolly been updated

Whom is it from? I've by far only found one that was updated 2 months ago

[lone glacier]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/570

and the combat one i also use was updated 2 days ago by the same author

[strong pilot]

Ok, that has indeed been updated

Hmmmm

[lone glacier]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/468

[strong pilot]

And any mods are not working if you start through Steam?

[lone glacier]

as far as i knew before the wipe the cosmetic ones were not functioning like skin replacers hair replacers and when i would try use the change apperance bench it would just keep closing on me

[strong pilot]

Huh, interesting

That sounds like an issue with either the game or the mod itself 🤔

[lone glacier]

should i try verifying file integrity to see if its a game issue?

[strong pilot]

Test first if you can do it without mods

[lone glacier]

i currently have a couple reinstalled to test if the gameplay wise ones were at fault

just thosones specifically

[strong pilot]

If you can't, then yes. If you can, I recommend enabling everything again and seeing if it works through Steam (starting through Vortex doesn't work for some reason). If it doesn't, disable all mods again and then just start testing them one by one to see if a specific mod is causing issues

And if you have a lot of mods, you can also do it in groups (test multiple mods at a time, if they work no issue and if they don't, test that group one by one)

[lone glacier]

could be a game issue game states just now its installed on a hdd even thought its on my D drive which is a 1tb ssd

[strong pilot]

That's... weird

Where's it saying HDD?

[lone glacier]

on load up

[strong pilot]

Does it have like a popup or something?

[strong pilot]

Hmmm. Weird...

I'd verify them, yes

[lone glacier]

nevermind for some reason its actually a hdd when i run defragment so thats not an issue i better up date that tho at some point

would be smart for me to do so

i swear it was a ssd

and i have the error rn the Reverie 1-2 also so one pof them may be the cause

@strong pilot

will actually work on thsi another day looks like i need to get a ssd for my pc before i do this would help me a ton

[strong pilot]

It might also jsut be mods. Either way, when launching through Steam stuff should work

If you get the reverie error, can you still play? If yes, I'd go and try to change appearance then

And what about without mods, did that work?

[lone glacier]

nope game just sits there will not let me load in

[strong pilot]

Ahh, dangit

[lone glacier]

uninstalled one of the gameplay mods and am retrying loading in

i hit accept and it keeps popping up never letting me in

[strong pilot]

I see

[lone glacier]

still ntow roking w both gameplay mods gone

could it simply be i'm using vortex to run the game also?

i should also do this tomorrow just realised its 2:30am rn not the best time to mod rn either

[strong pilot]

Oop, yeah

[strong pilot]

Sounds like a game issue, then. I'd probably try verifying the files

[lone glacier]

Will do sometime soon gonna go buy an ssd first cause screw having a hdd I swear it was a ssd my bad bought it years ago explains slow load times on all my games

Might be smart on my end to get a 2-4tb ssd next pay

[strong pilot]

I do recommend that. And if you have enough slots, you can still keep stuff on the HDD (smaller games like Lego games or similar) or just other files

[lone glacier]

Only games I have installed on it are a heavily modded skyrim and avatar right now

Pc was just kinda thrown to get her from parts my father had left over after his upgrade only I bout my own storage, ram and gpu recently like a year ago and I swear I clicked on a ssd clearly it was a hdd

[glossy moth]

apparently there is an issue on how my extension tells Vortex about how to start the Steam version, causing the REVERIE-1-2 error. A fix will be coming soon
Try to start it through Steam itself and it should work. Vortex isn't required to be running or the game be started through it for mods to work. If it still doesn't work we may need to do some more troubleshooting

[lone glacier]

Thanks fo that

[austere sedge]

@strong pilot i got confused, again. can you help me please ? ❤️

[strong pilot]

What're you having trouble with?

[austere sedge]

im messing around and stuck in trunk of a tree like teen navi

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/613?tab=description

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/457?tab=files

these two using res (the first one also use rebel) but i cannot seem to make it work

it was identical to the mod you solved for me but im confused enough and lost in the pandora wandering what to do

[tame path]

You wouldn't be able to use both of these at the same time if that's what you're trying to do

Or is it downloading that is getting you stuck?

[austere sedge]

no i download not working, one by one

ofc not trying together

[tame path]

AH okay, had to check lols

Have you removed the number from the end of the file you wanted?

[austere sedge]

yup

im supposed to be choose on color right

[tame path]

Yeah

[austere sedge]

ima do again maybe third time's the charm

[tame path]

Can you send a screenshot of the folder? Also- did a space get left after the name? sometimes that doesn't automatically go away for me and I have to manually delete it

[austere sedge]

i usually double check it but sure

feather stone top mod

[tame path]

ok that's weird

if you have paint.net, open the file with it and save it again as a .dds (DirectDraw Surface), BC3 Linear

something seems to be wrong with some .dds types so this is just to check if that's the case

[austere sedge]

this ?

[tame path]

yep! looks sketch af but I promise it's safe, it's just an old website

[austere sedge]

oh when downloaded app

it pre photo or whatever called it now visible

what shirt should i wear to make it work ?

only rebel ?

[tame path]

yes, that's the top it's applied to

[austere sedge]

mhm tihs one good to go

lets try second one

and not worked

any ideas ?

im wearing these

[solar plover]

yeah that's the issue, wait until you have cosmetics unlocked

[austere sedge]

it unlocked alerdy

[solar plover]

You need to be wearing the swapped tap shirt

as a cosmetic

It'll be on one of the vests you get from Raj

[austere sedge]

raj scammed me?

[tame path]

that's not the rebel chest guard,. you don't have it unlocked yet

[tame path]

keep playing the game and check raj's shop once you have enough spare parts

I think it can also be looted

[austere sedge]

you have it in your inventory ?

[fair sparrow]

this is what it looks like!

[austere sedge]

no no i mean tap top shirt

i get it rebel chest before wiped my save but tap top just dissappears

after quest forcefully changes it

[fair sparrow]

yeah theres no way around that I think, you get the researcher top to wear.

There is a tap shirt mod tho I think

or pants and shoes at least

[austere sedge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/457?tab=files

i cant make this work everything seems fine does it also want rebel or something ?

[fair sparrow]

tap is the rebel chest guard in my guess. The file name is tap

hold on ill try it out myself

[austere sedge]

Most of mods wants tap top, tough mostly work with research shirt, but sometimes this happens not work at all

[fair sparrow]

works fine for me

I just unzipped the file, picked whatever color I wanted from the Vawta's recolours folder and put it into the texture folder of the rebel chest guard

and dont forget the mgraph files!

[austere sedge]

correct ?

or missing somethin

[fair sparrow]

that should be okay so far

do you have the mgraph files in the correct path?

[austere sedge]

theyre at graphic files then gear

[fair sparrow]

those in blue>graph objects>gear

[austere sedge]

then it is at correct place lemme restart

phew hope it works 😭

[fair sparrow]

but then again you need this top for it to show

cause thats what the files retexture

[austere sedge]

oh btw can i ask something ?

[fair sparrow]

sure

[tame path]

it doesn't work because you don't own the top the TAP shirt is replacing. You need to own the Rebel Chest Guard in game to wear mods that are on it

[austere sedge]

what piece i need for neck to be shown

[tame path]

Hells Gate Veteran, in the store

[austere sedge]

raj ?

[tame path]

no, the game store. ubisoft store, real money store

its a paid cosmetic

[austere sedge]

Gah dam

[tame path]

you can also get it from Kukulope if she has it

[austere sedge]

oh so i can get it free

[tame path]

yes, you can get it from Kukulope if she has it in her weekly rotating shop.

[strong pilot]

Yup, I already linked them to that earlier and told it works with the Forest Guardian set (and how to get it)

[shy herald]

hello hello,,, would anyone be able to invite me to the modding server perhaps? im struggling with retexturing the na'vi skin textures.... 😰

[cedar mural]

could i also get an invite to the mod server please perchanchaps?

[verbal lantern]

Another person looking for a mod server invite pls lol

[proud falcon]

heyy , trying to figure out how to edit the color hex codes for this mod , does anyone know how? https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/630?tab=description

[dreamy mortar]

happening to hairstyle number three

[glossy moth]

for mods containing a "blue" folder you just drop that folder into the game's folder (where the "afop.exe" file is, full path depends on the platform). If it doesn't contain a "blue" folder you have to check the instructions on the mod's page about where to put it, and make any required folder yourself. If such folders already exist you just merge the files/folders there

[glossy moth]

that "Varangs Head Piece" folder seems misplaced. I suppose you need to take the contents in it and put somewhere else

[dreamy mortar]

Okay I see here where it needs to be but... I dont have the last few contents

after baked dlc_shared\gear\player\mtx\head

i dont have those last ones besides like player and not gear

[glossy moth]

you need to create the folders yourself

[dreamy mortar]

oksy so after baked I write dlc_shared folder? then gear inside of that folder? along with player, mtx and head?

[glossy moth]

yep

[dreamy mortar]

okay ty ill let you know if it got fixed

[dreamy mortar]

just to clarify i lastly put it in the head folder correct? (that I made)

[glossy moth]

yep, the contents of "Varangs Head Piece" must be into a "head" folder

[dreamy mortar]

thank u so much

[glossy moth]

it would end like ...blue > baked > dlc_shared > gear > player > mtx > head > mtx_g_tmp_head_skin_legendary_01 > textures

[dreamy mortar]

ahh thank u yes i got that far i appreciate this so much

[tame path]

I didn't include any, you'd need to grab a recolor mod and edit it or grab the files from hunter

[proud falcon]

gotcha , thanks !

[cedar mural]

can you play coop with mods like ikran speed and more inventory slots?

[pine oracle]

ikran speed you can im p sure and i imagine that inventory slots would too (since the ikran one is working)

[cedar mural]

so I wont get like banned or something since they're technically "cheating" mods?

[pine oracle]

mm im not sure abt that, technically speaking it would be against their tos

though i havent heard of anybody getting banned for using them

[glossy moth]

and @uncut badger
Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that I found out more about that issue and may have a fix. If you still use Vortex, update the extension and check if it's working now. Let me know if you face any issues

[magic socket]

I have a question, I tried to mod my game (got it via steam) and sadly nothing works

I have tried vortex and even have the mod loader installed. But the mods don't seem to work. Im kinda desperate and need help

[glossy moth]

what doesn't work? Game is crashing? Or you just can't see any difference in game?

[magic socket]

The mods just simply don't load

No crashes or so

[glossy moth]

ok, can you show me the Mods tab on Vortex?

[magic socket]

Sure, I only have one mod installed because I tried to test them individually (which also didn't work sadly)

I have this mod installed

[glossy moth]

ok, I don't see the Modloader installed. Did you install it manually? If not, click that Install modloader button on the toolbar

[magic socket]

Ooh

One second

[glossy moth]

yep you need it for mods to work 😁

[magic socket]

Thank uu

I hope it works now

[glossy moth]

did the Modloader install fine?

[magic socket]

Seems like it, I'm launching the game to check if the other mod loads now

[glossy moth]

ok

[magic socket]

I hope it works. Never had this much trouble modding a game 😭🙏🏼

[glossy moth]

sorry to hear you have troubles, with Vortex it's supposed to be easier

[magic socket]

It's fine, I probably just forgot this one step.

Is it normal that the game takes longer to load ?

[glossy moth]

Vortex will kind of nag you about having the Modloader, although it won't always prevent you from going without it 😄

[glossy moth]

it's relative, but shouldn't take too long. If it gets stuck on 18% it's a known issue from what I heard around

[magic socket]

It did get stuck on 18%..

[glossy moth]

hmm hold on

what mod is that? Is this one https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/628?

[magic socket]

YES

The first one

[glossy moth]

do you own the new expansion?

[magic socket]

I dont

Only the other two dlcs

[glossy moth]

hmm ok. Well, in Vortex go to Games tab, click the 3 dots button on the AFoP tile, then click the link next to Path

[magic socket]

Did it!

[glossy moth]

it will open the game folder, there check if you have a "dlc3" folder. If so, open it and check if it has some content

[magic socket]

It doesnt

[glossy moth]

that may be the issue 😣

[magic socket]

Awh

Ig imma search for a different top then 🙏🏼

Thank u

[glossy moth]

unfortunately I don't know how to fix that and it seems a known issue. I just remembered it being related to the game being stuck at 18%

[magic socket]

Noted, thank U so much for the help

[glossy moth]

np. Maybe try to ask around #💬│frontiers-general about the "stuck at 18%" issue

[magic socket]

Will do

[glossy moth]

but for now, you can just disable that mod in Vortex and look for an alternative 🙂

[tame path]

You need to have the dlc downloaded for the game to access its files

[sly viper]

hey I have this problem where I change the blue folder on the pc, but if i delete everything from the file and replace it. the previous mod I had is still installed and no other new mod shows up

[shell lake]

is there a way to add depth to the tops?

like the feather top thats a well decal

or a 2d texture

[daring forge]

hia just hopping in here looking for assistance, does anyone know hwo to mod for Tamtey/sarentu to have different outfit in the From The Ashes cutscenes? i have modded outfits in the base game but canbt figure out how to do it?

also is there a modding server i can get an dinvite to?

[brisk dirge]

Hello! I haven't done any modding yet, but I want to know if it's actually worth it. What kind of mods are available currently, and are there any that noticeably impact environment/gameplay?

[dreamy merlin]

Check the Nexus page

[pine oracle]

theres a few environment and gameplay changing ones, custom ikran skins etc, for the most part its cosmetic stuff

[unborn fog]

Are there any Wolf cut/ long curly hair with bangs mods yet??? I wanna make my OC in AFOP

or even a mod that makes the tail into a Metkayina one???

[pine oracle]

unfort not

we arent able to make custom models yet

[uncut badger]

Hello! btw i don't use discord, but if u need i can try for u

[toxic cloak]

Does anyone know a good tutorial on how to to mod afop. All the ones I've seen were only 2 minutes long and well bad...

[glossy moth]

all good 🙂

[rapid belfry]

can anyone help me? idk how to do those mods, i have them instaled, i restarted my game but they just doesnt want to work, anyone have any solution?

[rapid belfry]

i think i m to stupid to understand this '-'

[sullen stratus]

okay yall im new here and just started playing afop with my boyfriend and i cant find any eyelash or hair mods that will work with my knowledge of modding right now.... i tried to do an albino mod and i hate it but idk how to get it out of the blue file T-T i just wanna be preety lmao

[glossy moth]

did you use Vortex or installed them manually?

[rapid belfry]

at first manually, but not by vortex or whatever that means but they still doesnt want to work

[glossy moth]

Vortex just makes it easier to install and manage mods in general

[rapid belfry]

yeah but i think im to stupid to know how to install them, i've been always bad in instaling mods to any game

[glossy moth]

but ok, what are the mods?

if you want to give Vortex a try, check https://discord.com/channels/846716389037178901/1434732446242574356

[rapid belfry]

i m trying to install ikran look and mangkwan mods, like feathers, neckless and loinclotch

[rapid belfry]

yeah i installed it already

those are mods i have and they suppose to work, but they just dont want to

[glossy moth]

and same for you. Maybe if you have too much troubles installing them manually you may give Vortex a try

[glossy moth]

ok let me check something

[rapid belfry]

on youtube the guy just drag files into vortex, and it works even tho he doesnt need to restart the game { it was a few months ago }

[glossy moth]

it depends on the mod though, some may require a reload/restart, others it's just a matter of swap stuff around in game

[rapid belfry]

now my game doesnt even want to open -.-

i destroyed my game, gat darn it

[glossy moth]

lol not really

there are a few mods that are known to crash the game due being outdated, in general mods meant to change gameplay somehow

if you are using any of those you can just remove/disable them to "fix" it

let me check what you have there more properly

oh right, "Hide minimum clothes..." is one that causes the game to not load at all. Disable it in Vortex for now

[rapid belfry]

could you maybe come with me on vc so i can show you my screen

[rapid belfry]

alr\

[glossy moth]

I can't use voice atm

[rapid belfry]

it's better for you to write, i would understand better, but i just want you to see my screen, i also wont talk it's 1 Am

i just messed up my whole game trying to install couple of mods .,.

[glossy moth]

I see. it's ok, you can just take screenshots and post here if needed. I'll ask you for that if I need to check stuff

[rapid belfry]

alr alr

yay, i had to uninstall that mod, bc it keept my game carshing, now it's working again, that how my mods looks for now

[glossy moth]

ok, beside that one know to break the game I can't see any issues with what you have there. "Mangkwan 'waistcloth' 04" should be compatible and install properly with Vortex

[glossy moth]

you didn't need to uninstall it, just disable it though. But that also works 😄

[rapid belfry]

it is installed properly with vortex, i deleted all files and reinstalled the mods with vortex

[glossy moth]

I see

[rapid belfry]

it show smth here right? if mod is working?

[glossy moth]

that mod you removed needs to be updated by its author though. It broke with the 3rd person update around month ago. Meanwhile, it's better to not use it until it gets updated

[rapid belfry]

alr alr

[glossy moth]

it depends on what you are modding

that "Mangkwan 'waistcloth' 04" doesn't tell what it changes 🤔

[rapid belfry]

i watched on yt that this mod should make all other accesories disapear or smth, but it doesnt work on me

[rapid belfry]

oh sorry, here is a photos

[glossy moth]

I meant the exact item in game

oh, it's "field waistcloth" and "researchers shirt". Do you have these items?

[rapid belfry]

i also want those

[rapid belfry]

it's on the waistcloth

[glossy moth]

btw, mods don't "add" anything to the game, they change/replace already existing stuff

[rapid belfry]

huh '-'

HUH?!

wait that changes everything

[glossy moth]

like, "Mangkwan 'waistcloth' 04" is supposed to change how "Researcher's Shirt" looks

so you need to have that skin unlocked in game to use it

[rapid belfry]

this one, it still doesnt work

[glossy moth]

mod authors usually tell that in the mod's descriptions

[rapid belfry]

yeah, is it really? XD

[glossy moth]

equip it, usually the icon doesn't change (unless the author also edited the icon)

[glossy moth]

ok that should show the modded skin

[rapid belfry]

it isint really .,. you see what i mean now? it just doesnt want to work

[glossy moth]

ohhh ok hold on, the mod package is broken

[rapid belfry]

WHAT

[glossy moth]

the path there should be

...
📁 blue
📁 graph objects
📁 gear
📄 g_res_torso_base_02_f.juice (321 B)
...

[rapid belfry]

NO, TELL ME YOU JOKING

so what, so i can't use it?

[glossy moth]

a folder is missing 😄

[rapid belfry]

NOOOOO

my sweety clothing..

[glossy moth]

ok, in Vortex disable the mod by clicking that green button (don't remove it)

[rapid belfry]

alr

[glossy moth]

then, right-click it and choose "Open in File Manager"

[rapid belfry]

btw, i added the waistcloth

[glossy moth]

ok, we wil check it in a bit

[rapid belfry]

okay what next

[glossy moth]

a window should open showing like this

📁 graph objects

[rapid belfry]

the folder is empty '-'

[glossy moth]

empty?

hold on, let me check something

[rapid belfry]

yup, i mean the forder is empty, look

[glossy moth]

ah I see

ok hold on a bit

[rapid belfry]

alr alr

should i close the game in a while we doing this?

[glossy moth]

no need

[rapid belfry]

OMG

O MAH GAAAA IKRAN MOD WORKED

AAAAA

[glossy moth]

hmm, I installed it and it doesn't seems empty

ok, remove that mod then and reinstall it

[rapid belfry]

wait 😒 bc i deleted some mods, maybe that was those?

[glossy moth]

maybe

[rapid belfry]

yeah

that was those, i open the other mod and it has things inside

[glossy moth]

close that window, and in Vortex uninstall that mod

[rapid belfry]

okay ima reinstall it

alr
