<![CDATA[Help with Avi repair!]]>Heya peeps! first time poster here.

Ive grabbed myself an Avi in VRCA form and used ARC / SARS to extract it.
I do not have the shaders that are used on the avi and as such just use the FACS Utils to reassign the shaders and fix the scripts and so on.

So far so good.
But the Avi i ripped has particle animations, and those particle animations are now using the wrong shaders and 2DTextures which is not great.
Is there a way to figure out the correct ones to use without trial and error?

Thanks in advance for help with my problem!

either you know ALOT about networking to the point you can intercept the VRCA from the VRChat servers before they get encrypted.

or you search the interwebs for old archives of avatars, your cache can also work if the specific character has been used prior to the implementation of the encryption.
