@ffffffafafa Id recommend using ARC instead of asset ripper. ARC is way easier to use and much cleaner

Bander

@M1zuki could you send me a link? i cant seem to find it anywhere

Bander

@M1zuki how do i use ARC? ive got a hold of it but have no idea what to do

@ffffffafafa you have to join their discord server for a key so you can actually use it, I’d recommend using a burner VRChat account. Once you join the discord there should be a channel where you can do /key generate or something like that. They’ll dm you a key, input that in the setting tabs after you press auth. Back to the vrchat account, it’s optional to put an account in but it’s mainly to look up avatars and take the VRCA which is supporter only. Once auth go to VRCA and there should be an input output system (Load VRCA / Extract VRCA). And it should fix it for you, you can also extract it to a unity package with a click of a box. Hopefully that makes sense

@ffffffafafa if you plan on using AssetRipper, you need to, when exporting:
Export -> Export all files -> Export Unity Project
Then you need to open Exported -> Assets and rename shader and scripts to .shader and .scripts
Then put the Assets folder into your Unity project, after that just follow this (timestamp on purpose, don't go to the beginning).

@M1zuki ive done that, but i am still not able to use anything on the ARC, i alos get this notification everytime i load up ARC

Bander

okay so ive managed to get it to work, but now it isnt letting me go into gesutre manager, its saying the following :

@ffffffafafa then you have to they the latest version, they usually send the most updated version in the discord once you verify just go to updates and releases

@ffffffafafa try using asset ripper
the step should be easy to do here
https://github.com/AssetRipper/AssetRipper
step by step

extract the zip file
run the program, the exe (AssetRipper.GUI.Free.exe)
a browser will open to the interface of assetripper
click file and click open file
locate where you put your vrca/vrcw file
select your vrca/vrcw and click open
click export and then click export all files and then click select folder
locate where you want to extract it (MAKE SURE THE DIRECTORY YOU CHOOSE IS AN EMPTY FOLDER OR ELSE IF YOU PICK THE FOLDER THAT HAS LOT OF FILES IT WILL BE DELETED)
once you select an empty folder click export unity project and wait, after a while the file will be exported to the folder you selected.

next step is to download FACS Utilities
github.com/FACS01-01/FACS_Utilities
make a new project in VCC not in Unity Hub! make sure the Vrchat SDK is fully installed on the package list, start up the project, while its loading head over to the folder where you extracted the vrca/vrcw, change the folder called script to .script so that unity doesn't get angry at that... from experience, next move the folder containing the extracted vrca/vrcw to the unity project folder that you have created
example: C:\VRChatProjects(your project folder name)\Assets and paste the folder into the Assets folder, the folder name will not get conflicted so don't worry

after unity has fully loaded drag the .unitypackage of FACS Utilities into the unity, wait for it to load and then press Import, wait for it to finish copying and there should be a new tab on the top called FACS, click it and head over to a tab called Script, and then select fix script, drag the folder where it contain the extracted vrca/vrcw, and press Run Fix! Give it a few moment and when its done, head over to the animation tab, select Fix Animation, Put the avatar prefab in the Animation Roots object selector, the name should be (avatar id here).prefab and press Auto Detect, and then press Run! button, give it a few moment again and then drag the prefab into the Hierarchy, and done! the avatar is fixed, except the shader it will look very bad
