Modding

[rapid belfry]

done

[glossy moth]

ok, once you reinstall it make sure it's disabled, then right-click it > Open in File Manager

[rapid belfry]

alr got it

[glossy moth]

ok, does it have files when you open graph objects?

[rapid belfry]

question, my fiance is asking if the mods i install will be seen on co-op with him or he has to isntall them too to see em?

yesh

[glossy moth]

they have to install them too. Mods are only local

[rapid belfry]

brb toilet rq

alr

what next?

[glossy moth]

open that graph objects folder

[rapid belfry]

yesh

[glossy moth]

it should look like this

good!

ok, now create a folder called gear in there

[rapid belfry]

done

[glossy moth]

ok, select all those files and move them to the gear folder you just created

[rapid belfry]

got it

[glossy moth]

ok, that's it! In Vortex enable the mod and check in game

the issue was it was missing that gear folder 😄

[rapid belfry]

uhm. em

[glossy moth]

fun fact... 😛

[rapid belfry]

i think i do need restart the game

[glossy moth]

try swapping the skin

[rapid belfry]

i did

[glossy moth]

if it doesn't work, try to fast travel to somewhere else

if that also doesn't work, try restarting the game

[rapid belfry]

bro '-' when i change skin from that, to other, the Na'vi's outfit doesn't change, LOL

[glossy moth]

hold on, let me check something

[rapid belfry]

i m restarting the game

my mods rn

[glossy moth]

oh btw, you will need to do the same thing with that "waistcloth 01", it also misses a gear folder 😛

[rapid belfry]

yes i did

[glossy moth]

ok

[rapid belfry]

i think my game is loading the mods, bc it loads so long '-'

[glossy moth]

it shouldn't affect loading times though

[rapid belfry]

tbh i don't even know how i did the ikran mod '-'

i was just putting the mods everywhere and it just worked when we started talking

[glossy moth]

you must have installed it manually, as it doesn't show up in the list in Vortex

😁

[rapid belfry]

yeah the instructions said i need SPECIAL folder for that mod

but i didn't understood one thing

here it says that there are 5 mods

but then here is says i should CHOOSE 4 files from those 5, and drag them to file i created.

and now TELL ME WHICH OF THEM I SHOULD DRAAAG???

[tame path]

you need to choose which skin you want to replace

[glossy moth]

hmm for me it worked

[rapid belfry]

OMG HOW

TELL ME HOOOWWWW

[glossy moth]

I did exactly what I told you to do lol

[rapid belfry]

bro my game hates me i swear

[rapid belfry]

i did choose and the mod wasnt working for a while, then it just magicly worked, and also, tell me how am i suppose to see the " patterns " if the file doesnt show any? i know about color i have choosed one already that how i start the installation

[glossy moth]

ok let's check something. In Vortex, go to Games tab, click the 3 dots button on the AFoP tile, then click the link beside Path

[rapid belfry]

wait mah game is restarting again, it stopped on loading screen

[glossy moth]

stuck at 18%?

[rapid belfry]

yush

and again, gat darn it, JUST GOOO UPPPP BRO

[glossy moth]

uh oh, that's what I suspected. Ok do what I said above

[rapid belfry]

ugh, okay i'll try but seem like confusing for me lol

[glossy moth]

-# inb4 empty dlc3 folder

[rapid belfry]

then what?

[glossy moth]

click that link next to Path, as shown here

😁

[rapid belfry]

oh okay i m just blind i guess LOL

[tame path]

the skin you have chosen needs its files in the blue/gameplay/vanity/juice folder. the pattern you need to view in-game. I'm not sure if its posted in this server but there is a file list with all ikran patterns and their file names so all you do is look at the list and find the color file with the same name

[rapid belfry]

didn't saw that " path "

[glossy moth]

hehe

[rapid belfry]

why am i yellow '-'

i dont want to be yellow, give my blue back

[glossy moth]

Congratz! You leveled up! 😛

this server has a "level" system based on how much you chat

[rapid belfry]

oh yeah i also had trouble with that as i had only 01, 02 and 03 defoult patterns, i have no 04 so i realized i put 04 pattern mod while not having it in game, so i switched patter 04 on 03 and i guess that worked

[glossy moth]

keep talking and you will turn dark yellow, then orange...

[rapid belfry]

weh i want my bluee

NOO

not orange, i want blueee

[tame path]

oh yeah, won't work if you don't have something unlocked lol

[rapid belfry]

EXACLY

[glossy moth]

ahem, ok, did you click that? It should open a folder like this

[rapid belfry]

look this is 03 and i guess that is all i needed

[glossy moth]

ok, open that "dlc3" folder

[rapid belfry]

empty

[glossy moth]

that's what I suspected 😔

[rapid belfry]

huh?

BRO LOAD ALREADY

[glossy moth]

any "mangkwan" stuff needs contents from that folder

it should look like this

[rapid belfry]

you saying my mod steals files?

[glossy moth]

that folder being empty is also what causes the 18% stuck bug

no no, it's a known issue with the game

[rapid belfry]

HMMMM

[glossy moth]

the mod you installed uses stuff from the "dlc3" folder, since you have nothing there the mod breaks the game making it stuck at 18%

disabling the mod will fix the loading though

[rapid belfry]

gat, we can fix that without deleting the mod?

[glossy moth]

just disable it for now

[rapid belfry]

okay

so lucky it worked for you

[glossy moth]

but unfortunately I have no idea about how to fix the issue about "dlc3" being empty. Try to ask around in #💬│frontiers-general maybe

[rapid belfry]

i m fighting with it for a 4h now

[glossy moth]

do you own the new expansion btw?

[rapid belfry]

the new what?

[glossy moth]

I guess not 😄

From the Ashes expansion

[rapid belfry]

ah no, i have no DLC for now, it's em.. it could break me emotionally and i know that bc i watched movie two days ago and i have a rollecoster with my emotions '-' i cried from sadness, happines, i was excited, jsut everything

[glossy moth]

"dlc3" folder is related to that expansion

[rapid belfry]

but i will buy it, some day xd

[glossy moth]

understandable. I don't think you need to own it to get the files there though

[rapid belfry]

alr it loaded, what now?

bro okay something is strongly wrong with my game -.-

SIR, WHAT THE HECK

[glossy moth]

while your "dlc3" folder is empty you won't be able to use anything related to Mangkwan

[rapid belfry]

nuh uh '-'

NUH UH

BRO

[glossy moth]

yep, you lack the files that mod needs, just that 😔

[rapid belfry]

....

MY BEAUTIFULL OUTFITTTT

okay my game froze what the hell

i guess i gotta find myself other outfit that is like theirs..

or something

could i use this mod maybe?

[glossy moth]

yeah unfortunately

[glossy moth]

yep, it uses base game stuff, it's just a retexture

[rapid belfry]

okay, lets see if i will have trouble with that

[glossy moth]

it's fully compatible with Vortex, you can install it there just fine. "Additional Colors" is not though, it will require manual intervention if you want to use that

[rapid belfry]

yeah i m confused '-'

i want the fire look, like orange, and red will fits to my ikran

[glossy moth]

unless you want any color besides the (1), you can install it just fine in Vortex

ok. Install "Feathers - Researcher Shirt retexture" through Vortex normally. I'll guide you with the other variation

[rapid belfry]

i think this one

alr

both?

[glossy moth]

yep

[rapid belfry]

ekhm

[glossy moth]

yeah I was going to tell about that

put baked\characterart\gear\player\res\torso\base\g_res_torso_base_02\textures in there

[rapid belfry]

does fire and ash has co-op?

[glossy moth]

Fire and Ash is the movie btw 😛 And no, From the Ashes doesn't have co-op

[rapid belfry]

like this

[glossy moth]

yep

my bad, I forgot the blue lol

[rapid belfry]

it's okay lol

the other one too?

[glossy moth]

-# I created that thing, how could I forget it lol

[rapid belfry]

lol

done

[glossy moth]

yep, "Feathers - Researcher Shirt retexture" too, it won't ask anything

ok, disable them for now

[rapid belfry]

alr

[glossy moth]

right click "Feathers - Researcher Shirt retexture" > Open in File Manager

in the window that opens, navigate through this path baked\characterart\gear\player\res\torso\base\g_res_torso_base_02\textures

[glossy moth]

yup, open it and follow what I said above

[glossy moth]

yep, delete the g_res_torso_base_02a_d.dds (notice the _d), it will conflict with the one from the other mod. Leave the other 2 files there

[rapid belfry]

alr, sorry was installing other mods i saw, that shouldn't do anything wrong, done

[glossy moth]

all good

[glossy moth]

ok, close that window to avoid confusions 😄 In Vortex, right click "...Additional colors" > Open in File Manager.
In the window that opens, navigate through this path baked\characterart\gear\player\res\torso\base\g_res_torso_base_02\textures

[rapid belfry]

wait what? '-'

additional colors? HUH

OH

WAIT

I GOT IT

[glossy moth]

I shortened the name 😛

[glossy moth]

"Feathers - Researcher Shirt retexture - Additional Colors"

[glossy moth]

huh, did you check the box on bottom of this?

[rapid belfry]

'-' wait what? what box

[glossy moth]

"Use complete structure..."

[rapid belfry]

it's what you said for me to follow

[glossy moth]

nvm, ignore that then. Ok, open that folder

[glossy moth]

ok, select the file related to the color you want and copy it. Check the number in the pics on the webpage, the file is named with it

[glossy moth]

yup, copy it. Then go one level up (to textures folder) and paste it

[glossy moth]

yep. Delete that "Feathers 2.0..." folder. Rename the file to remove the number, it must be named as g_res_torso_base_02a_d.dds

[glossy moth]

that's it! Enable them both in Vortex and check in game

[rapid belfry]

that is so cool, but now i gotta find the weistcloth that would match that

any suggestions?

[glossy moth]

in general mods shouldn't be that troublesome with Vortex, only ones with variations or that was packaged in a way Vortex doesn't recognize. Fortunatelly most of them won't be troublesome from what I checked 😁

[glossy moth]

hmm, none I can recall atm

[rapid belfry]

do i can mix mods? like i did that feather top, couldi mix it with other mod that changes top and wiest?

[glossy moth]

sure! As long they don't use the same files though

[rapid belfry]

hm

[glossy moth]

so, you can mix one that changes top with one that changes waist, or 2 that changes different tops. But you can't use 2 that changes the exact same top, per example

e.g. You can have 2 mods where one changes Researcher's Shirt with one that changes like Na'vi Champions top (whatever is it called). But you can't use 2 that changes Researcher's Shirt (Vortex will even warn you in this case)

[rapid belfry]

oh okay, how can i see which one they changes?

[glossy moth]

their description usually tells it

like this

[rapid belfry]

okay so now

when i have the colors, should i just delete those i dont want, or what?

[glossy moth]

you can keep them with the original names (the game will just ignore them) or delete them. For them to work they must be called exactly g_res_torso_base_02a_d.dds so any different name disables them

[rapid belfry]

alr help me, WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN?

[rapid belfry]

oh okay

[glossy moth]

and this is an example of conflict. Whatever is that one will conflict with the one you installed early, since they change the same files

[rapid belfry]

i think it didn't worked

[rapid belfry]

yeah but, what is with straps and without if on photo it's just not showing, idk what they mean

[glossy moth]

what mod is that one?

[glossy moth]

it will help me if you link the mod's page 😁

[rapid belfry]

alr alr, ima link you those two i m working at rn

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/340?tab=images

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/505

[glossy moth]

ohh perfect, they packed the variations separately and fully compatible with Vortex

[rapid belfry]

i m tho curious what skirt she has on the photo, it looks just so amazing

[glossy moth]

for that one, just download the file related to the version you want

[glossy moth]

this I mean

[rapid belfry]

that's the thing, IDK

[glossy moth]

that mod changes 2 different items, choose which one you want and what variation. Then download the corresponding file

[glossy moth]

you can install both 😁

they change different items in game so it's fine

[rapid belfry]

which of those is this one?

[glossy moth]

(it's said in the description right there xD)

[rapid belfry]

i have stupid question of mine '-' WHY AM I GOING RED

gat darn it i dont even like red, lets me find black or white

[glossy moth]

😁

[rapid belfry]

there we go

that's better

now which one is it '-'

[glossy moth]

or

[rapid belfry]

uhm

i guess more mods to dowload but first toilet

[glossy moth]

those are optional, you can ignore (and modloader you have already)

[rapid belfry]

ima just install it to not have trouble lol

oh okay i guess i wont install that one

excuse me? what does that mean?

[glossy moth]

you can ignore that, it's just additional stuff anyway 😄

[glossy moth]

huh? It's just telling what the mod does and when you last downloaded it

in that case, it's not a single mod but a collection of several mods

[rapid belfry]

'-' ???

so, em, why does it not work ?

[glossy moth]

huh? What doesn't work?

[rapid belfry]

the mod

[glossy moth]

which one?

[rapid belfry]

or i just doesnt have the accesory?

idk what accesory that mod is

[glossy moth]

this?

[rapid belfry]

yuh

[glossy moth]

you need the Na'vi Champions Waistcloth unlocked

[rapid belfry]

ugh, where i can get that?

oh i see...

[tame path]

its a store thing

[rapid belfry]

...

lets keep looking bc i dont want spend more money on this game in this month

[glossy moth]

occasionally available with Kukolope

[rapid belfry]

what is kokulope?

[glossy moth]

a vendor where you exchange currencies earned through challenges for skins usually in the store

[rapid belfry]

'-'

[glossy moth]

so you can kind of have the Store stuff without speding real money. But only 3 skins available per week and are somewhat random

the alternative one there, the Dyers Waistwrap, is available through gameplay though

[rapid belfry]

okay i found this mod, and this one is on nafika's great games waistcloth which i have, but this mod has a lot of colors and only two mods so i would need help, but first i wanna take care of that mod bc it's on hold and i have it already set up but idk why it's not working. https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/360?tab=files

HMMM

[glossy moth]

is that the folder opened through Vortex (right-click mod > Open in File Manager)? Or you installed that manually?

[rapid belfry]

manually

[glossy moth]

ok. Well, it doesn't work because the files are named in a way the game doesn't recognize. You have to do like we did early

[rapid belfry]

alr wait bc i deleted wrong color i need to reinstall the mod lol

got it

[glossy moth]

rename the version you want to g_res_torso_base_02a_d.dds, delete or ignore the rest
However, that one will conflict with "Feathers - Researcher Shirt retexture" we fixed early, you will need to disable it in Vortex

[rapid belfry]

i did smth wrong?

[glossy moth]

Vortex may be overwriting it

[rapid belfry]

should i uninstall or only disabed it?

[glossy moth]

just disable it

[glossy moth]

Vortex keeps a copy of the files in a "staging" folder, it copies/links the files to the game folder when you enable them and remove when you disable

[rapid belfry]

oh okay

so what now? it still doesnt work

[glossy moth]

is it looking like this?

[rapid belfry]

yes

[glossy moth]

that should change the Researcher Shirt though

[rapid belfry]

well it didn't

[glossy moth]

is that file in this folder ...blue\baked\characterart\gear\player\res\torso\base\g_res_torso_base_02\textures?

[rapid belfry]

yep

[glossy moth]

since you put them manually, make sure every folder is spelled properly

wait, hold on. Is this one right https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/505?

[rapid belfry]

yesh

[glossy moth]

you said you did it manually but I see it enabled in Vortex?

[rapid belfry]

no, i mean when i open it again after i reinstall it bc i deleted wrong file, i did open in thro vortex, yes

[glossy moth]

ahh ok ok

[glossy moth]

so you did this change it in the folder opened through Vortex, right?

[rapid belfry]

yes

[glossy moth]

ah right. Well, that's your "staging" folder. Vortex put the installed files in a separated folder and copies/links to the game folder when the mod is enabled
If you change the "staging" folder you need to "deploy" the files for them to be aplied. You can do that by just dsiabling and reenabling it. That's why we had to disable them before doing the changes early xD

you did those changes with the mod still enabled in Vortex, then the changes weren't applied to the game

[rapid belfry]

'-'

sooo?

what do i have to do?

[glossy moth]

disable and enable it again in Vortex

or if you see the "Deploy Mods" button blinking, click it

[rapid belfry]

got it was that simple '-'

i m so stupid

thank you so much

[glossy moth]

😁 it's ok, mistakes happen

[rapid belfry]

alr

[glossy moth]

np!

[rapid belfry]

next is this one https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/342

it has a lot of colors, but only two mods

and yeah

wait

[glossy moth]

I made the thing that allowed Vortex to be compatible with the game, so it's good to me to make sure stuff are working 😛

[rapid belfry]

nvm

it's not this one, give me a sec

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/360?tab=files this is the correct one

[rapid belfry]

thanks that you writing with me, bc that makes my hopes higher on that mods i choose would definatly works and that i m just stupid LOL

[glossy moth]

same technique as we have done early for that one

lol np, don't worry

and glad to help

[rapid belfry]

question, do you know how to delete those on her chest? that hides them, bc with that this top doesnt look like on the photos here

alr they're here, what now?

[glossy moth]

there are some mod for that

[rapid belfry]

oh really? you know any that could help?

okay i m confused rn

[glossy moth]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/534
https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/140
they are NSFW through, you may need to allow that in NexusMods

[rapid belfry]

those are the two files of those mods, they are literly the same but different?

[glossy moth]

they conflict yeah

odd Vortex isn't warning you about that

[rapid belfry]

nah

he just go for it and uploaded those two

alr it's working now yay

[glossy moth]

and yep, the right folder should look like the left folder

[rapid belfry]

alr nowww

[glossy moth]

Vortex should warn you if 2 mods conflict with each other and ask you what to do. If it doesn't or you ignore the conflict, only the last mod enabled will be applied in game

[rapid belfry]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/140?tab=files which i should install ?

[glossy moth]

use the first one, the author made it to be used with Vortex

[rapid belfry]

alr

[glossy moth]

the others work with Vortex too through, the first one just contains all versions and will cause Vortex to ask which one you want

[tame path]

that reminds me I need to update my texture mod thank you for linking that shadow lol

[rapid belfry]

lol

gosh it's dowloading so slow

[glossy moth]

it's a big file 😣 you can try the other ones, just choose which version you want (some may need a manual tweak though)

[rapid belfry]

alr it's downloads, what now?

help .,.

[glossy moth]

there you go, pick what you want. Check the pics in the mod's page to know what is what

[rapid belfry]

ah okay

okay or am i blind or it doesnt change anything

[glossy moth]

you may need to restart the game, since it changes the player texture

[rapid belfry]

what is undies?

[glossy moth]

the default underwear thing

[rapid belfry]

oh

okay and what does subtie changes?

[glossy moth]

this https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/5972/images/140/140-1762864390-1698416060.png

compare the images in the mod's page

[rapid belfry]

yea i see no changes exept skin color xd

[glossy moth]

it changes the nipples 😛

[rapid belfry]

only?

[glossy moth]

subtle makes them almost invisible

yeah

[rapid belfry]

i guess ima go in the middle

alr sweet

what does that mean?

[glossy moth]

it erases most of the item and leaves only part of it

[tame path]

There are pictures to go along with most mods that show what they do along with a description if you ever get confused

[rapid belfry]

does that tells you anything ?

[tame path]

that's what the mod looks like 😄

[rapid belfry]

yeah and that is the only photo there .,.

[tame path]

that's all the mod does lol

no colors

[rapid belfry]

alr now, i want to change ikran, but gotta find pattern first, why there is no black and white, or black and blue or smth

[glossy moth]

well, basically to know what a mod does by the pics you would need to know the item already to compare it 😄

[rapid belfry]

'-'

[glossy moth]

some mods showcase original and modded though

[rapid belfry]

alr shadow

i have problem

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/630?tab=files&file_id=1921 this mod, but have one file, and when i opens it, without vortex it shows me this

[glossy moth]

it's compatible with Vortex, you can install it just fine

[rapid belfry]

oh okay

[glossy moth]

pro tip: if a mod package contains a "blue" folder, you can just install it through Vortex normally and disregard the instructions on its page

[tame path]

(does it work with the variants in the same path or do we still need separate blue folders for each color?)

[glossy moth]

either separated folders or use the "manifest" file thing.
Having them in the same folder and just named differently won't work, Vortex will just put all the variations there without telling the user about it

[glossy moth]

yep, just enable it (if it's not) in Vortex and you're ready to go

[rapid belfry]

but '-'

it should be like, to choose a color

like a skin

like this '-'

[glossy moth]

uh, doesn't look like it from the file

maybe @tame path can tell better, it's their mod 😁

[rapid belfry]

'-'

[tame path]

it's a pattern mod, not a color file mod. In the description it says there are no colors, it only edits the actual pattern that the ikran has. If you want a different color than a base skin you will have to download one

[rapid belfry]

if so, then you tell me what should i do with this file if i have it done https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/350?tab=description

[glossy moth]

I guess it's showing different colors there caused the confusion 😄

[rapid belfry]

do you have any black blue, or black white?

[tame path]

...the colors are the base game colors. my mod does not edit any of the ikran colors at all.

[rapid belfry]

'-' rip

[rapid belfry]

anyway, can you help me bc idk what to do next, i changed the Hex codes and yea

[glossy moth]

you can install it just fine. But then check the instructions about how to customize it

you can install it in Vortex normally. Enable it there then follow the instructions in the mod's page, skipping the step 1 (as Vortex would do that step)

also, I think that one is skin colors for the player, not ikran

[rapid belfry]

alr time to restart mah game

[tame path]

that's correct

[rapid belfry]

help '-'

i have the mod in the file already, but it still doesnt work

[glossy moth]

huh, that's not related to the post you replied to 🤨 What mod is that?

[rapid belfry]

um https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/636

[glossy moth]

if you are using Vortex you can disregard any instructions about installation, unless Vortex asks you to check it

and that one should install just fine with Vortex

and if you still have the game running when installing mods that changes the player, reload the game to see the changes

[rapid belfry]

it didn't change anything when i restarted the game

s otaht why i m worried

[glossy moth]

hmm

This mod is a retexture of the Kame'tire Shrouded Belt to only keep the tail wrap of the model.
you need to equip the Kame'tire Shrouded Belt

The mod swap an arm mod with the tail wrap (see picture to see which one it changes).

[rapid belfry]

but if it's a belt, isin't it on waist?

[glossy moth]

it's a model swap, it changes a mod to load a waist instead the actual mod. It's a way to have multiple of same gear piece equipped (like 2 waistcloth at once)

[tame path]

its a waistcloth retextured into a tail wrap

[rapid belfry]

where i can get the kame

kametire shrouded belt?

[tame path]

the shop

[rapid belfry]

-.-

i guess no tail wraps

[tame path]

are you checking the things that mods are altering before trying to download them? Be sure to double check you have the items

[rapid belfry]

ekh

[glossy moth]

that mod that removes the breast patch has a version with tail wraps

[rapid belfry]

oh right, but idk saw the optiob, maybe it was lower, idk

[glossy moth]

no, it's a separated file. That one didn't include the tail wraps

well, it's about sleep time here then i'm going offline. Feel free to ask for help here and maybe someone else can help as well

[rapid belfry]

wait, separate file?

[rapid belfry]

oh

thx

[rapid belfry]

guys i need help, i m trying to make skin color, like my own with a mod, but it doesnt work, and idk what i m doing wrong

[pine oracle]

the skin colours are controlled with hexcodes - all you need to do is change the last 6 numbers - so itll look like 0xff123456

[rapid belfry]

yes i know but it just doesnt want to work or it's slitely difference

UGH what i m doign wroong

[pine oracle]

if something isnt working, its usually one of only a few things

[rapid belfry]

uh

[pine oracle]

a) not actually saving the notepad (this one gets more people than you think, so i have to mention it)

b) some kind of typo - sometimes even an extra space in there will break the whole file

[rapid belfry]

yeah i probably have no clue how to do this

[pine oracle]

c) not in the right place

[rapid belfry]

GAT HELP MEH

[pine oracle]

ctrl & s

or save manually at the top

[rapid belfry]

lets see if it gonna work

i should be white like snow if that will work

oh gosh it did work

and i m light blue with no tripes, i feel naked, but thx

does anyone know what does that mean? bc from my perpective the mod is in correct spot, but isin't working?

[tame path]

show a screenshot of your file path?

[tame path]

try making the paths not capitals

idk if that matters

do you own the skin it edits?

[rapid belfry]

nah it's a mod

like it's one skin, and it should work

[tame path]

mods don't give you extra things

they edit existing items

if you don't own the skin it edits you won't have the mod

[rapid belfry]

idk what that means

[tame path]

what is the name of the mod

[tame path]

it means it is a classic ikran recolor that is based off the movies

do you own the smoldering skies skin?

[rapid belfry]

idk i will check that in the moment

no i dont

i don't even know where it can be found '-'

[pine oracle]

its a shop skin im p sure

[rapid belfry]

idk, eh there is no cool blue black skin in those mods..

[tame path]

what skins do you own? it would be better to search that way

[rapid belfry]

it found it, i have trouble with other mods now

i m trying to do my custom color skin but it seem like react only on one "mycolor" bc when i m trying to do like stripes and light blue body it's working good, but when i want to do black body and light blue stripes it shows that there is no space for light blue, i m just black like obsydian even tho i have colors different from each other.

my other issue with biolumescent's i m trying to download new look of them but they seem also not working or i m doing smth wrong, idk

[tame path]

I can't help with Vortex as I manually download mods if I do download them, so I could only help with the pathing and stuff like that. about to go to bed though

[rapid belfry]

it's okay maybe someone else have done that and can help me

[tame path]

it should just be the same process you've been doing with shadow

install with vortex, check the mod description for a path if vortex asks for one, paste path in vortex seems to be the process from what I can tell

[rapid belfry]

mh

[rapid belfry]

So the mod i addent into blue file, it doesnt work still, idk exaclly which file i shall put where .,.

[warm talon]

Go to afop folder

Back once

And send a picture

[warm talon]

Now paste the blue folder from the downloaded mod here

And it’s done

Do the same for the ikran skin

[rapid belfry]

when i tried that it just disapear '-'

[warm talon]

It may look like it but when you open the blue folder here the files will be there

Trust me

„Bo masz już folder o tej samej nazwie blue, więc Windows po wklejeniu po prostu podświetla folder blue, ale tak naprawdę i tak wkleja zawartość dokładnie tam, gdzie powinna trafić.”

[rapid belfry]

i copy / paste the file, ima restart the game and try it, but i have small hopes it will work, expecially that i totaly messed up the files

[rapid belfry]

okey

[warm talon]

Not yet

[rapid belfry]

i also messed up my skin color mode, i have two totaly black and i can't undo that

[warm talon]

Tłumaczenie (naturalnie, konwersacyjnie po polsku):

„Wejdź na Steam → Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora → ikonka ustawień → Pliki lokalne → Sprawdź spójność plików gry.”

[warm talon]

We’ll fix it

Don’t worry

[rapid belfry]

okay my english is a bit better than that, i have PC in english so when you say names of the files, say it english please XD i can't translate last word in english

[warm talon]

Avatar frontiers of pandora settings icon

[rapid belfry]

[warm talon]

And verify integrity of files

[rapid belfry]

ah okay

lets see if it gonna work

it's going long so i think it's working

[warm talon]

Can u open your blue folder and show me?

[rapid belfry]

[warm talon]

After verifying lmk

[warm talon]

Tyt

[rapid belfry]

ima go do myself food in the mean time, do you want vc to see my screen?

we dont need to talk ofc

it's better when we writes for me

[warm talon]

Can’t vc atm

Unfortunately

[rapid belfry]

it's okay

it's better to ask lol

[warm talon]

True

[rapid belfry]

50%

[warm talon]

Take your time

Ping me when you’re done with food

[rapid belfry]

gosh this game has 3.225 files '-'

and i m back

[warm talon]

Verification done ?

[rapid belfry]

yesh

[warm talon]

Okay

Now try

[rapid belfry]

what exaclly?

[warm talon]

Opening the game and seeing if it’s fixed

[rapid belfry]

oh oksy

[warm talon]

Did you install any skin mods ?

Before ?

[rapid belfry]

that is pretty much my first time installing any mods in AFOP, but my mods list looks like this " shadow helped me in most of them ". theres probably some that doesnt even work, but i know most of them works

[warm talon]

Holy

[rapid belfry]

yeah '-'

[warm talon]

The black isn’t supposed to be black ?

[rapid belfry]

yuh

[warm talon]

What colour is it supposed to be

[rapid belfry]

oryginal or eigher snowy blue

[warm talon]

One of your mods is affecting this

Keep disabling one after the other and launch to see which one is causing it

And then remove the one responsible

[rapid belfry]

not really know what that means, but those mods have smth wuth my color skin one

[warm talon]

Disable these and see if it fixes the problem

[rapid belfry]

i definatly know that tsu'tey and better biolu does not do anything bc those were before color one, and they worked perfectly fine

[warm talon]

You can click enable to disable the mod so I’m saying disable a mod run the game see the game is fixed keep going until you reach point where the colours appear the time it changes is the one where the mod is the bad one

[warm talon]

Remove them regardless

[warm talon]

Disable custom skin colours

And see if it fixes it

[rapid belfry]

for now i m trying to see if colors got fixed

[warm talon]

Mhm

[rapid belfry]

if the problem would be with kiri's biolu and colors, i would definatly delete colors, i want biolu more

yeah they arent fixed at all

i m so confused rn bro

[warm talon]

Disable custom skin colours

And see if it fixes it

[rapid belfry]

omg wait

i think i found the correct file, wait ima change color on them and see if it will work { the problem is tha each of those colors have their own file, that i changed and forgot which one that was, but now that i m going thro ALL of them, i found the one that are literly ff00000 in the file

and hex code #000000 is full black

[warm talon]

Yup

Told you

[rapid belfry]

alr lets see if it's this one, if not i give up and i deleting whole mod to fix those skins

bc i really likes the first upper one

and i want i back

OKAY

lets go, that black one can stay, but i change so it worked { i still dont know which one is which XD }

[warm talon]

Happy gaming !

[rapid belfry]

lol

i have 3 that are literly the same but that is okay

[warm talon]

Mhm

[rapid belfry]

okay now i wanna see, ima do all white to see a difference, if it gonna change i will know which one is that and i can customize it like i wanted before

once it gonna work i will finally take care of biolum

if you wanna check the biolum mod, and see how to install it to help me better, there it is https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/333?tab=description

okay the colors worked { i enabled the kiri biolum to see if color would work with it, and it does, so i m happy }

[rapid belfry]

you there?

[uncut badger]

Ok nice! :p

[warm talon]

I fell asleep

[random sundial]

is there a modding server for this game or is it just a small community that does it from time to time?

[warm talon]

There’s a modding server

[random sundial]

could i get the link to it?

[warm talon]

Can’t post it here dm me please

[glossy moth]

For Windows capitalization doesn't matter, either will work

[glossy moth]

That means you have multiple mods using the same files (aka conflicting). You must enable only one of those at a time

[rapid belfry]

oh, well now i have all of them together and they're working { exept kiri's biolum }

Question could i somehow copy my mods and paste them into my fiance PC ori have install them one by one like on my pc?

[rapid belfry]

or maybe i can log in on two PC with one Vortex account? does that would work too?

[warm talon]

Just copy your blue folder and paste it in thier pc

And it will find

Done^

After doing that also download the mod loader on thier pc too

[rapid belfry]

oh thank god someone is alive, could you find me a link how to install vortex? i forgot

[warm talon]

I mean

https://youtu.be/_9ZT49X9fvQ?si=tB6YevrqD13-KJog

https://www.nexusmods.com/about/vortex

[tame path]

Haven’t you been using vortex?

[warm talon]

These should help

[rapid belfry]

i m instaling it on my fiance PC

[warm talon]

They seem to have forgotten the steps a reminder doesn’t hurt lol

[tame path]

Ah

[rapid belfry]

yeah now tell me how i should copy " blue " file, put in on discord to copy it from other pc to another '-'

[warm talon]

Use a usb ?

Is your fiance in the same house ?

[rapid belfry]

he is at work at the moment, i want do it while he is at work so when he is back we can just go play game and not play with mods

tho he is way smarter than me '-'

[warm talon]

https://youtu.be/pWlWrbrn-OY?si=xWf1pvKRAwRxATEk

After u compress it you can send it in discord

https://youtu.be/r9hpiyzOOTY?si=-pYt6Aa_YC3zyreB

After downloading it you can decompress

Just copy your blue folder to desktop first and then follow the videos

Once decompressed paste it in the game folder

[rapid belfry]

😐 that's me when you saying so many things and i don't understand anything LOL

[warm talon]

I’m explaining it as simply as I can

Do u have a usb drive

A thumb drive ?

https://tenor.com/view/usb-pendrive-grish-grish-majethiya-use-drive-gif-26169142

Download this

[mental vortex]

[warm talon]

[warm talon]

[mental vortex]

my fiance said that he never dowload mods thro vortex, he doesnt like it lol.

Should extract?

[warm talon]

Extract and place in the games folder

Not in blue

But where the game is located

[warm talon]

Yes

[mental vortex]

[warm talon]

Try it now

[mental vortex]

what exaclly?

still nothing in vortex exept USM

[warm talon]

Close vortex fully and run the game

[mental vortex]

alr

still doesnt work

[warm talon]

Might have install the mods manually from vortex then

[mental vortex]

yeah my fiance said that would be the best option, thx tho for trying to help me copy them on other PC

some of those mods are pretty simple, i had most trouble with color one and clothing

[warm talon]

Mhm

[restive sable]

y does this happen

[rapid belfry]

@glossy moth you there? i need help

[glossy moth]

Moving files manually won't make them appear in Vortex

you would need to install them through Vortex itself. What Kathorisel instructed you was to copy them manually, that's valid but won't work with Vortex that way

[rapid belfry]

no i have other problem

we installed the mods, and only 1 mod isn't working for my fiance

[glossy moth]

hold on a sec, let me search something

[rapid belfry]

is the top

i can't fix the top, it doesnt show up for him

Look this is his screen

[glossy moth]

if you want to transfer/copy mods you have in Vortex to another PC you can create a Collection

[rapid belfry]

omg how

[glossy moth]

and yes, you can use the same NexusMods account in Vortex on different PCs

although what Kathorisel instructed you to do is valid, but they just won't show up in Vortex

[glossy moth]

what top is it?

[rapid belfry]

it's the feathers ceremonial one

that we were doing before

i did everything like in my files, but it just doesnt show up for him

if that top is not supporting co-op i found other ones that maybe might

[glossy moth]

this one right https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/505?

[rapid belfry]

yeah

[glossy moth]

if you installed it through Vortex you will need to fix the files. The variations are numbered in the files

[rapid belfry]

yes we did that already

like in mines, we deleted other colors and change name deleting number and adding DDS bc it wasnt there

and on mine was

[glossy moth]

are you making the mod yourself? Or it's some mod you downloaded?

[glossy moth]

it wasn't there? Maybe it was just hidden, that may be why

[rapid belfry]

hmm

[glossy moth]

if the extension was hidden (the default) and you added it you may have ended with a file actually like g_res_torso_base_02a_d.dds.dds 😄

try renaming it to remove the .dds, if the type column still shows like "DDS File" you are ok

[rapid belfry]

idk it din't show any .dds when we deleted it and still doesnt work

His file names

[glossy moth]

check if you have file extensions hidden. Should be somewhere in the menus there, I don't know much about Win 11 to tell for sure

[rapid belfry]

he doesnt understand -.-

[glossy moth]

it still shows the miniature, then it's still a valid dds file, even though it doesn't show the .dds

make sure there is no space after the _d neither before the g_

[rapid belfry]

tha is my file

there is no space

[glossy moth]

yep, your system shows the file extensions, their don't

[rapid belfry]

yeah but why

[glossy moth]

System settings 😄

[rapid belfry]

how can we fix that?

[glossy moth]

https://www.thewindowsclub.com/show-file-extensions-in-windows

[rapid belfry]

idk i m to stupid for this, but i think he doesnt have that '-' i dont understand anything what to do XD

but yeah his file says " dds imgaine " sooo

[rapid belfry]

tell me how to open that first bc i can't find it '-'

[glossy moth]

wrong thing

[rapid belfry]

'-'

[glossy moth]

the steps are right here

[rapid belfry]

where is control panel '-'

[glossy moth]

-# damn Windows 11 hidding stuff 😩

[rapid belfry]

I KNOW

[glossy moth]

open the menu and in the search thing type "control panel"

[rapid belfry]

uhhhh

[glossy moth]

the one below "Apps", with blue icon

[rapid belfry]

?

[glossy moth]

yep that

[rapid belfry]

okay i found and yes he has hidden that but it still doesnt work

the mod doesnt work

i meant

ima restart his game

[glossy moth]

"Feathered Ceremonial top retexture" changes the "Researcher Shirt" btw

[rapid belfry]

yes i know we checked iut

it

[glossy moth]

ok

[rapid belfry]

for him i just have the researcher shirt not ceremonial top

[glossy moth]

Ceremonial top is how the mod was named, I don't think there is an item named that in game

[tame path]

this whole process is why i install mods manually lmao this seems like too much work

[glossy moth]

Vortex shouldn't be troublesome though, except if a mod was packaged with a weird structure (like folders not matching the usual game folders)

I'm going to implement a tool to help "fixing" those cases (at some point xD)

[restive sable]

downloaded

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/170

this the mod

[glossy moth]

sorry for delay. Did you install it through Vortex or manually? Either way, have you tried to reinstall it. I have no idea what might be causing that though

hmm

apparently the 3rd person update broke something

[restive sable]

manually and dont worry about it Im not too bothered

[mint snow]

I did some playing around yesterday and this happened to me when I edited a hair mask

The edited hair mask was fine, but an unrelated mask gave me the 5 o'clock shadow. Fixed only when I got rid of the edited one

[austere sedge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/588?tab=description where can i get these head pieces rng not on my side

[pine oracle]

I think they can both be bought from raj in resistance hq?

[austere sedge]

thank you founded on raj

[plucky kite]

Anybody able to help with mods? Please Im really confused

[pine oracle]

did you still need help or did you figure it out? 😋

[plucky kite]

I do still need help, this is pretty complicated I have to say

[pine oracle]

are you downloading through vortex or manually, straight from nexus? (vortex is a lot easier imo and does all the folder management for you)

[plucky kite]

I‘m downloading from Nexus

[pine oracle]

i'd recommend going through vortex, once you set it up, mods are downloaded with one button

theres this tutorial here: https://discord.com/channels/846716389037178901/1434732446242574356

try it out and if you get stuck, ping me again 😋

[plucky kite]

Alright ill try as soon as I get home, What do I do with the mods i already have in my folder now?

[pine oracle]

if nothing is working, id just delete and start over, if they are working, you can leave them there, but vortex might overwrite them if another mod you download uses the same textures/models

[plucky kite]

I highly doubt their working because I dont see any changes

[pine oracle]

yeah probably not then, id just start over with vortex

[plucky kite]

Oke

[restive sable]

anyone got the scars off the mangkwan override and separated it

[plucky kite]

Any melanistic avatar users able to help with the mod?

[warm talon]

Melanistic?

[plucky kite]

Yess the darker na‘vi

[shy sand]

Hey does anyone know where the Ri’nela hair mod is? I’ve seen it around but can’t actually find it

[sage root]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/374

[frank steppe]

Is anyone here in the afop modding discord, if so could you possibly send me an invite link? 🙂

[grizzled lark]

i keep seeing these stripes and was wondering if theres a mod that i cant find?

[random sundial]

hey guys do you think if i downloaded like 20 mods and then tried to boot my game up is it going to crash instantly ( i think i have a good pc)

[pine oracle]

the number of mods isnt usually what causes crashes, but outdated mods - old clothing mods are fine, but the gameplay ones that increase stash space/speed/damage multipliers etc tthat havent been updated since third person released will cause those crashes

[pine oracle]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/302

[random sundial]

i downloaded like 10 🙏 imma test my pcs limits

i only play in first person anyway

[pine oracle]

even if you only play in first person, those mods are still going to be broken since the code was updated

[random sundial]

yeah ik

[timid coral]

anyone here know how to mod in our character to the fire and ash dlc

[dreamy merlin]

Like have them replace So’lek?

[glossy moth]

the amount of mods won't change anything as tseyks said. Mods usually are just asset replacers so they are just changing what the game loads, the workload will be basically the same

[austere sedge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/avatarfrontiersofpandora/mods/613?tab=posts i cant make this work anyone have idea ?

[mint snow]

Looks like the author didn't include a graph to swap in the tap shirt

[unborn orbit]

Just double checking - there’s no photo mods available, right? I’ve looked before and can’t find anything solid

[pine oracle]

That’s a camera tool (otis) but it’s locked behind a patreon

[ruby barn]

is there a mod that makes the viewmodel fov changeable (not the normal fov) for first person

[still solstice]

Trying to get the Albino Player pack, I'm currently watching an in depth video how to download mods but it's saying I have to download something else first. Is anyone free to VC and walk me through it?

[ruby barn]

you are probably referring to the "Universal snowdrop Modloader"

[still solstice]

Yeah!

[ruby barn]

How i got my mods to work for me is downloading "Universal snowdrop modloader" unzipping it then inside of the unzipped "Universal snowdrop Modloader" dragging both of the "version.xx" files into the game directory of AFOP. After that just download the mod that you want unzip it and drag the blue folder inside of the mod into your game directory

probably not the best explanation

[still solstice]

Okay tysm!!

[zealous pewter]

how do i installUniversal Snowdrop Modloader cuz when i drop the folder there is no blue folder i see

[still solstice]

Tried almost everything from watching videos and keep rereading this, it's hurting my brain😔

[still solstice]

You have to create the blue folder

From my understanding anyway

[zealous pewter]

i made 1

now.

when i open the new blue folder there isnt anything

[still solstice]

You have to make all the folders, I've tried watching videos myself but everything is so confusing.

[zealous pewter]

sigh

[still solstice]

I'm new to mods myself so I have no clue what I'm doing

[tame path]

the modloader does not go in a blue folder, it goes directly into the game folder itself

[zealous pewter]

yes

[tame path]

the mods are the things that will go in a blue folder and most mods have one to copy/paste easily

[zealous pewter]

i am tryan get a slive hair mod

silver hair

[tame path]

can you link the mod?

[zealous pewter]

i got the snow bs put in root and made a blue folder i pasted the mod

[zealous pewter]

dms?

[ruby barn]

did you get it sorted yet or still having issues

?

[ruby barn]

i can try guiding you in vc

so if you still need help just @

[still solstice]

Tysm, I'll @ you in a few I'm doing something currently. I had to take a break from it before I shutdown from stress lol

[ruby barn]

alright can it be in the next 10min i have to go offline soon-ish

[still solstice]

I'll try and hurry up, if not tonight if I take to long we can try again tomorrow if we are both not busy.

[ruby barn]

okay i will be available for the next 20mins

[still solstice]

Alright!

Eh you know what we can do it now, I can put the other things to the side for a few minutes.

[still solstice]

Where do you want to VC?

[ruby barn]

im in Coop3

[vale abyss]

If anyone knows how to create Ikran skins please help me!!! I'm trying to use the tutorial from nexus but it's very vague

[glossy moth]

if you wanna try an easier way check https://discord.com/channels/846716389037178901/1434732446242574356

[still solstice]

Ty!!

[pine oracle]

theres a tutorial for it in the afop modding server, if you want an invite?

[maiden karma]

ohhh I would like one please

[vale abyss]

please! There was video on youtube that i found with a link to one of your old reddit forums/post, but the link was invalid ;w;

[austere sedge]

is there something i can do to make it work

[mint snow]

Try using another tap shirt mod, then switch to this one

[topaz igloo]

Y'all is there a mod that makes it so we keep our clothing in the from the ashes dlc? and one that removes the blue thingy on the female base the one on the chest, it ruins so many tops...

[pine oracle]

there is no specifc mod for the FTA gear, you have to swap all the models yourself - as for the blue patches, theres a few, but they might be hidden if your nexus account is set to sfw/under 18

theres better body, 4k player textures etc

Question for modders about From the Ashes - ||in the cutscene with the text "Tamtey: the Sarentu", would it be possible to substitute a custom name instead of Tamtey? Or perhaps easier done with Photoshop...||

[tame path]

We haven't found that file yet, currently photoshop is the way to go

it'd be so nice though, to have our proper character instead of a stand-in lookalike

[toxic cloak]

okay thank you ^^

[austere sedge]

Switch ? like use two at same time

[marsh reef]

Okay so I DONT have vortex, and I just download everything straight to my game folder ..

[sage garden]

I mean you can do it from the site but I wanted to be fancy lol

I have no clue where my game folder is tho

Thats my problem...

Cuz I cant search it up

[lost pine]

do u own avatar on ubosft connect?

[marsh reef]

For ME since it’s installed under steam, I had to find where my AFOP.exe file was, and in that same location is where I put the modloader and created the “blue” folder

[sage garden]

E I got it off of steam

But I have ubisoft connect too

[lost pine]

you can find the folder where its installed through that

[sage garden]

oooo

Let me

Look then

[marsh reef]

So I use my steam one, and if you search for steam it will pull the location

[lost pine]

library, right click the game, properties, installed files

[marsh reef]

W/o looking at it, I can’t remember if it’s under steamapps/common/AFOP or common/steamapps/AFOP, but it’s one of those paths to find where to install the modloader

And create your own”blue” folder

[sage garden]

Im gonna take a wild guess that thats it?

[lost pine]

yes thats the folder

[sage garden]

HECK YEAH

So what now...

[lost pine]

which mods do you wanna download?

90% of the time those mods make it easy for you where after you download and extract the zip folder, you just drag it in there and it does the rest itself

look at every mod's desc to see the pathing, sometime you gotta make the folder yourself but its super easy

[sage garden]

Well first things first I need the universal thingy in the right place

And idk where is the right place for it...

Universal snowdrop smth

Do I just put it in the ,,blue'' folder?

[lost pine]

no put it in the AFOP folder

[sage garden]

A just like that?

[tulip cave]

does someone knows how to make a mod where we may use a npc body painting?

[sage garden]

Well that's easier than I thought then

[lost pine]

after u extract it from the zip folder

[sage garden]

Ya I know that

[lost pine]

then u should be good to go ^^

[sage garden]

So just now every other mod I get

I just put into the afop folder

And it should be fine?

[lost pine]

no it depends on the mod

they almost always tell you exactly what to do however so its not a big issue

[sage garden]

Alr, thank you for the help

I will try to do the rest myself and if that don't work out I'm gonna skidaddle back here but well I can read so I should be fine-

[lost pine]

feel free to ping me if you need any further help ^^

ill gladly assist

[sage garden]

Ok so I might need that help cuz turns out I cannot read

https://tenor.com/view/stressed-gif-7048057395502071840

[lost pine]

alright what do u need

[sage garden]

Ok so uh

From like

6 mods I downloaded

Like 2 work

And I have actually no clue why

Cuz I kinda did all they wanted...

And I kinda got lost in this one too

Holy fuh modding the sims was so much easier

[lost pine]
