TUTORIAL [OUTDATED] [How to find a VRCA]

[agent287]

@SynthDog check the ripping guide in my bio, there is free options for ripping

[Literal]

@SynthDog Did you get a Decrypted version of these models yet? AssetRipper an Sars dont work with the original cache grabbing method anymore

[Literal]

@agent287 Please update your ripping guide! it doesnt help anyone with actually getting the VRCA to rip! you are basically pointing them to buying a client or finding a server with VRCA Dumps! When instead you can just point them to trusted clients or servers! Speaking of VRCA dumps i have a server that just went public where im dropping VRCA's almost everyday

[agent287]

@Literal ummmm, no? vrcdatapacks is not vrca dumps you can actively rip with their bot for free.

[Literal]

@agent287 Cool?

[agent287]

@Literal why are you saying im only pointing people towards clients and vrca dumps? vrcdatapacks is one of the resources i provided and is highly trusted, i dont understand what ur talking about

[Visaeres]

@Literal Retired ripper, yet continues to rip lol

[Literal]

@Visaeres i got bored

[hugh Jass]

is there any update to this guide? i saw someone rip a relatively new avatar recently so kinda thought it was still possible. theres one particular asset i need and the site i was originally using got hacked, so i cant get it anymore unless i get it from an existing avi.

[agent287]

@hugh-Jass this guide no longer works due to vrchat encrypting the _data files / the vrcas. theres free resources in the guide in my bio if you would like to take a look at them

[hugh Jass]

@agent287 i know it no longer works, which is why i asked if there was an update to it. your bio says only private avatars, which seems kinda backwards.

[agent287]

@hugh-Jass ?

[Literal]

@hugh-Jass When VRChat changed their way of storing avatars, it made this obsolete! What he is using an recommending is a Bot services that swaps into a avatar id and decrypts the bundle! When people are talking about getting private avatars, thats a different ball game! Its either you know someone who has the file, or you have an external tool that lets you decrypt incoming __Data files. The limitations on Private avatars is that someone has to be in the instance with the avatar creator, wearing it to actively pull it!

[hugh Jass]

@Literal yea i already kinda understood allat about changing the way of storing avatars, i was just hoping theres an updated method to actually decrypt it, similar to how i saw someone do recently.

[Literal]

@hugh-Jass Do you mind explaining what you saw?

[hugh Jass]

@Literal a friend commissioned an avatar, they never got their files but wanted me to edit it. got their friend to rip the files from the game and sent it to me to edit.

please refer to this for a better understanding

[hugh Jass]

@Literal i already know all that, i have such an asset from the friend i mentioned above. the fact they was able to rip the avatar recently is proof that it's possible. i'm not saying that it gives the original files, but enough to take parts of it away and reconstruct manually.
