TUTORIAL [Repairing VRCA's In Unity]

[tokisaki333]

hey just wanted to ask,is there a way i can also get the fbx file of the avatar?i need it to add face tracking

[Aisakuhyoha]

I failed. After exporting, there was no ‘assets’ file. I just wanted to retrieve the model that I accidentally deleted from the project file I created in VRCHAT take it out. (A profound sense of sadness overwhelmed me).

If you are trying to rip NEW Avatars it will not work! VRC introduced a Unity Encryption to their asset bundles
until a ripping tool has the crack for it you cant rip!

However! If you have Old VRCA or __data files! you can rip them still with current rippers

[Puddlelol]

what do i do now i have the _data

[tenderwater]

just a reminder (not ads) theres somebody doing the rip with pay money..
i actually more prefer make one myself..

[jaxoy]

@Puddlelol if the _data is after* encryption, there is basically no use for it.
before you would simply change it to a ".vrca" file.
(doing this now does nothing, encryption ruined that all >;/)
thoughh, old _data's which i assume you're talking about VRChat cache, that should work.

[Puddlelol]

ookay how old does the avi have to be

[jaxoy]

@Puddlelol around the end of march this year, if you need me to test anything i can, but if you got it then that works too.
if it was before march 2025, you should be good.

Do I got to manually set the menu and parameters the avi originally had back up?

[ChiikawaLover]

@TheShepard from what ive been seeing yes, though the animation clips (FX,action,, etc) has parameters in it already that you can just essentially copy to the param list youre making

ik this post is kinda old but i lost the files to my asset ripper and I HATE the GUI one with a passion - can someone end me the link to the one this guys using??

[Reym]

@BunBun_Bitch https://github.com/AssetRipper/AssetRipper it seem they use this or they use SARS (ARC) to extract the vrca file, to be honest both program does the same and the new one they defaulted back to browser instead of a window pop up

Thanks

[LocalPuppyBoi]

I have a question, I obtained a vrca and converted to unity but all the armature is merged together and I can't figure out what armature belongs to which asset, any help is appreciated

[Reym]

@LocalPuppyBoi what are these??? what avatar is this??

[LocalPuppyBoi]

@Reym It's all the bones for the hair and outfits for the avatar, they've all been put into one place and it's really annoying to pull apart without everything breaking, was just wondering if anyone knew of a tool that can get an assets full armature even when it's been moved around like this

[Reym]

@LocalPuppyBoi unfortunately i think there is no tool like that, you have to do it manually, check 1 by 1 on the inspector tab

[Kleiner]

@LocalPuppyBoi try Cooki's Cloth Separator
It's a tool I use to mix and match clothing on avatars, it separates meshes and duplicates the bones that it uses, so nothing should break.
I once made an avatar which every piece on it was made from different assets.
Hat from one clothing asset, top from another, pants from yet another, shoes from an even another asset.
Might work in this scenario.

[LocalPuppyBoi]

@kleiner Omg thank you sm, I'll be sure to check this out, if it works for what I need then you're a life saver. Big thanks regardless!

[VRCAmazing]

okay so how do you do it when there's a hidden liltoon version ? like "Hidden/lilToonOutline" ? I tried just putting lilToonMulti but it didn't help.
