HELP, how to rip avatars/files?
-
this might sound dumb and if it is I'm so sorry but where do I download asset ripper at? I got a bunch of VRCA files(old) that I'd like to get the models from! I know vrchat has a new encryption thing so no one can rip but I'd like to be able to at least try and open the files I do have!
@huhImhere It's quite literally impossible to be "dumb" about a topic with the New User Help tag, lol.
Link: Asset Ripper v1.2.1Download the zip, extract it, and find the folder where the app was extracted. Once you’ve located it, run the AssetRipper.GUI.Free application. (I'm using Windows, so it might be different on other operating systems depending on which version you download.)
The GUI will open. In the top-right corner, click the File dropdown and select Open File. Choose your .vrca or .vrcw file. It might take a few seconds to load, so don’t worry if nothing happens right away.
Once it’s loaded, go to the Export dropdown and select Export All Files. Choose an empty folder, name your project, and export it as a Unity project.
After that, navigate to [folder]/ExportedProject/Assets and delete the "Scripts" folder — Unity will crash if you don’t. Now you can copy the contents of the Assets folder it generated and paste them into your Unity project made with the VRChat Creator Companion.
Then just drag and drop the prefab, and you’re done!
That’s technically the easy part, because even after unpacking from a VRCA, there’s still a lot of work involved in getting everything up and running. However, things like animations, models, shaders, etc. should all be there.
Personally, I’d recommend starting with a base model downloaded from VRModels or RipperStore. Then, just move over the materials and shaders. Only use assets from the ripped version if you can’t find them elsewhere.
If you need any more help, feel free to ask!

@zeta.zaza Cache ripping does still work just not for the average user anymore, you need a client to encode the files. I can still rip as good as before since i use the Hexed client
