UABEA VS Magicite

Asset Studio for browsing and previewing files, Avalonia for replacing/editing bundles. Of course, I've never actually modded RF5; all I've managed to get working so far for RF3s is portrait and model texture editing, and face textures are so tightly cropped that replacing them might be a pain. As for dialogue, the extracted .txt comes out garbled, and I tried it with Grimoire just for fun but that doesn't seem to do anything.

Unity Asset Bundle Extractor Avalonia

Alternatively any hex-editor will do the trick (@0x1A44) or UABEA to edit the asset file properly.

This tool can function as a replacement for UnityEX: UABEA

It’s kind of a crazy process, but basically I used UABEA. https://github.com/nesrak1/UABEA.

If you want to use an entirely custom model, you'll need to download Unity 2019.3.14f1, import the model into a new project and add it to a scene, then build the project and extract the model raw using UABEAvalonia (the standard version of UABE isn't compatible with post-2019 Unity archives, unfortunately). You can then use UABEAvalonia to replace the original model (which will probably be in the PillarsOfEternity2_Data/assetbundles/items.unity3d archive) with the new raw.

Download the Unstable/Nightly build of UABEA https://github.com/nesrak1/UABEA in order to insert assets

you'll need these : https://github.com/Perfare/AssetStudio https://github.com/nesrak1/UABEA A 512x512 Image to replace the art

you have to use https://github.com/nesrak1/UABEA and then go through the files by using Asset Studio, and try to find the asset you want to change.

Yep, it is now absolutely possible thanks to Magicite. Not alot of people have dived in yet, but it's already possible to add back in the missing bonus content.

However, there are now more ways to mod files now, but they are a bit more complex. They allow you to create custom content entirely though rather than only replacing. One being: https://github.com/Silvris/Magicite as an example.
