v347 & v463 fail to load UGC animations in games that use them

[intheviewof]

2018 and 2021 refuse to load and apply custom animations to players set by games. compared to filteringdisabled, this is different behavior than what is seemingly intended. the fetch also fails, even if the place id is set to the game's (via enviornment label)

affected games

• parkour v1.89
• flood escape 2
• aniphobia legacy
• ...any game that forces players to use custom r6 animations

there is probably a debug setting i should enable for a more helpful log, but i did not do that here

Thank you for the detailled response.

[intheviewof]

if you need copies of the games i tested with, let me know,,, i happen to have copies of them on hand

[Windows81]

Sure thing. I like to work with as much of the original environment as possible.

Since I do not have a working Rōblox account, I'll probably redirect all remote assets to load from Pekora's servers.

Though, RFD is maybe smart enough to probably know where to find ROBLOSECURITY cookies if you've ever used them on Studio.

original build file included is optional but provided. it's source is identical to #170 but may cause dependency errors

[Windows81]

Rōblox Corporation made a policy decision circa 2025 that all user-made animations are only supposed to be loaded by the games on Rōblox which use them.

@intheviewof many animation ids are locked to places, what placeiden did you spoof for Parkour 2021?

[intheviewof]

well that was certainly an interesting first experience with cargo

@frostyyyy1 id 445664957. it is noteworthy i set the variable with a batch script because i was too lazy to try with powershell, i might just convert every game with the source above and just use my own game id as a permanent system variable?

[intheviewof]

tool is calling game id 4950790782 for parkour? maybe time to spoof that?

@Windows81 edit: tool failed on parkour 2021

Hmm.

[intheviewof]

spoofing 4950790782 did not work either.

just tested the output file given by the tool, the output file is junk. same results as the original file
parkour seems to also not carry over my save data? i'm forced to restart the tutorial

prolly since that custom amazonaws something something that prints a bunch of trash to the devconsole? its something to do with that i think.

yeah, tool is broken and it'll probably be a month before it's working again. is there another option i have until then?

[Windows81]

I might look on YouTube for links to "uncopylocked" servers on Discord, then find whatever asset-download bots are working there.
