The same as  earlier model gameplay wise, but the seraph and seraph-hairless models are now fixed for anyone to edit or to fork from. Removed unused json patch files that were adding logs that were not needed

This will be the last version with vanilla 6nop6nop's fox, and the next version will start to make this more of its own mod and update the look extensively, including texture updates, and shape updates, and maybe, eventually animations.

Looks like the game won't start at all anymore with this mod installed. Sad, I really quite loved it and it's one of the only skin mods not dependent on Maltiez' player model lib..

Pagan_Sunburn, Sep 16th at 10:02 PM

Can you PLEASE update this to 1.22.7 and have it server side as well and making it compatible with the Lupines mod located here https://mods.vintagestory.at/lupines

Raek, Jul 24th at 5:19 PM

Mn. I'd love to see this updated. While it...does work, it does have some issues in the newest version of Vintage Story.

PetraTheSquishy, May 13th at 12:04 AM

I can confirm this still works in 1.22.2 (aside from a few particular mdos that have custom animations obviously.) :)

I'd love to see this updated for more things though. The other Fox Player mod is a bit too cartoonish compared to this. Love the simplicity of this mod. <3

SkyPhyre, Mar 9th at 11:40 PM

Hi Malactus!  Love this mod, I enjoy running around as a smoll foxkin.  I was wondering though if you would be able to make the mod compatable with adventurer's walking sticks mod.  I noticed the model doesnt use the walking sticks walking animation.  I already asked that mods author, and they said it was likely on this mods end that its overriding the walking animation while holding the walking stick.  It would be nice if this could be fixed. Though its not a big issue if not.  

HeavyDevy, Jan 17th at 4:00 AM (modified Jan 17th at 7:44 AM)

Is it possible to turn this into a player model for the new custom player mod by Maltiez?

lechkingofdead, Dec 18th 2025 at 7:54 PM

well i can confirm one conflict. salties movment mods. spacifficly ledge grab.

Malactus , Nov 7th 2025 at 3:13 PM (modified Nov 7th 2025 at 3:26 PM)

Pagan_Sunburn and FeroxWildBorn

I do have plans for updating this mod, especially on a migration towards playerlib on a later date, However I heard someone else been working on converting it. I havent had the time to look into it as I have recently gotten other important things in mind (such as health and upcoming surgery)

 

WaterF135 The Fox mod is aclient side only mod, It should not be installed on server,  as it is just client side mod.

It may be clashing with other mods on the server. The mod after all doesnt modify anything else than the base seraphm model.

 

 The latest pre version should be perfectly compatible with the latest versions of Vintage story. I will make another release just reversioning the pre release to avoid confusion since people assume its not compatible with latest versions.

Pagan_Sunburn, Oct 18th 2025 at 10:22 PM

Do you have any plans on updating this mod? An update on this would be nice.

FeroxWildBorn, Oct 7th 2025 at 6:55 PM

do you think it would be possible to release a patch, seperate to this mod that adds the vulpine character as a race to the "Player model lib" mod? That would be awesome~

WaterF135, Sep 25th 2025 at 1:15 AM

so a friend of mine is haveing an issue with the anthpromorfic fox player modle mod. where even tho he doesnt have it installed anymore on the server we play it has everyones player chars as that modle just glowing bright blue perminitly. no other colors just the color of light blue. Anyone know how to even remotely fix it? it may have been player lib, the fact he put it as a server side mod, and/or the fact its outdated and he didnt use his eyes.

 

Aceolu, Aug 31st 2025 at 10:07 PM

Aradea

It is not

Aradea, Aug 30th 2025 at 9:02 PM

Is this compatable with the mod Player Model Lib?

Pagan_Sunburn, Aug 30th 2025 at 1:19 PM

Can you PLEASE make a fennec fox version for this?

Malactus , Aug 30th 2025 at 8:45 AM

@Wostolfo you dont really need to install it as a server side mod as it is purely client side. Just make sure the latest version is active on the client mod list and it should work

No idea why that is happening.

MrApothic, Aug 28th 2025 at 4:03 AM

Love the Fox model, I'd love to see what else you may comeout with and or continue to design for this player skin mod!

Wostolfo, Aug 27th 2025 at 9:55 PM

I had previously had this mod under the 1.20.12 installed on a server, and then the update came, and we restarted everything, with a fresh mod list, but the fox player model was used while the .zip wasn't in the server or client mod list how do I restore the old seraph model?

Malactus , Aug 18th 2025 at 8:12 PM

@Kasel after i finish the base mod to match the armor, hair and headgear. Its quite alot of work especially with my pipelines while right now I'm in a middle of another project that has a deadline by start of september.

 

Kasel, Aug 7th 2025 at 6:42 PM

Any ETA on when we might see PlayerModelLib support?  That's literally all I'm waiting on to get back into this game.

Malactus , Jun 16th 2025 at 9:58 PM

Autumn the mod dev had contacted me over discord a while back and I missed it  (just purely busy), Only noticed it after going back to the discord to complain about 1.21 changes to the base mesh not being in patch notes.

will check it out after ive prepped the mod for 1.21

 

It will most likely be a separate mod that will allow for that to be used however, as this is for drop in client side replacement while that will require server side addition of the framework mod it self.

Autumn, Jun 16th 2025 at 7:47 PM

MalactusThere is a frame work, it's player model lib by maltiez!

https://mods.vintagestory.at/playermodellib

Malactus , Jun 16th 2025 at 7:14 PM

Note, textures are busted in 1.21 as there is completely new UVs for clothes. I will need to reimport UV changes to the model, so there may be some major changes upcomming in the including complete retexture of everything in next few versions of 1.21

Malactus , Jun 16th 2025 at 5:48 PM

There is a fix for the axe animatiosn and rowing  animations in 2.20.3. Currently prep to update for 1.21 as there are new hairstyles incoming

 

BoardingBulb unfortunately the mod is going to be a simple character replacement until there is a framework that would allow me to just add it t o a list of other player models/races

Gideon_Lord, Jun 7th 2025 at 7:21 PM

I've had the same issue with animation with axe's where you cant see the tool when its being used. Other than that loving the mod!

BoardingBulb, Jun 3rd 2025 at 2:37 AM

Will this mod allow you to pick between an fox and an seraph? i would love to use it on my mp server if it does!

Whyt546, Apr 3rd 2025 at 8:55 PM

The animations for me are broken with Axes. All other tools/weapons appear fine but just with axes I don't see them in first person at all when swinging, is there a fix for this?

ZachsKappler, Mar 18th 2025 at 11:14 PM

Hey, I noticed with recent VS releases I get this giant warning from Carry On about attachementpoints and the tail when loading, but only with this mod enabled.

I'll link it because it is obnoxiously 420 lines long: https://hastebin.com/share/kibusalane.bash

The resulting visual bug is that whatever I'm carrying is invisible, but not in 1st-person view.

 

Otherwise, this mod has been very well behaved and I love that it's getting worked on again.

RobotCatgirl, Mar 4th 2025 at 4:33 PM

Hello!! I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how this kinda stuff is made. There's this mod called femininity that just adds a chest option to the player model. The mod hasn't been updated in a year and I was hoping to make my own version or find an alternative that works with the current update.

Xenon2462, Mar 1st 2025 at 6:44 PM

Hi i want to ask how u made this mod?, i want to make a lombax version of it

MushieMushi, Feb 13th 2025 at 12:59 AM

Malactus 
Thank you for the notice! It does work, sadly it will only be used in my single player due to the amount of dislikes from the server I'm currently an admin in. Love this mod though and hope you keep working on it!

Malactus , Feb 7th 2025 at 1:37 PM

MushieMushi  should work still fine with Vanilla 1.20.3, i dont recall seeing any issues with my friends.

 

Eddie_Gaming I havent tested that as I stick with vanilla, feel free to give it a shot, although some animations may or may not break, as I do override animations. Would be nice to have of mods updating, or patching in the game but there isnt one.

Eddie_Gaming, Feb 7th 2025 at 4:37 AM

Does this conflict with Combat Overhauled in anyway?

MushieMushi, Jan 31st 2025 at 6:24 AM

Hey! New to the game since 1.20.3 and disliked the characters that the vinilla game had to offer, saw this mod and was thrilled to see it - but was sad to see it was still 1.20.1 ... I was hopeing to see if you were going to update this mod anytime soon? Would be splendid!

Vaili, Jan 19th 2025 at 5:36 PM

It looks like a legal entry of Khajiit into this game. That's interesting..

RedXtreme, Jan 19th 2025 at 3:14 PM

Seems like scythe animation is a little broken (when idle)

Malactus , Jan 18th 2025 at 8:49 AM

PetraTheSquishy could be the way how the mod patch files currently overrides the entirity of the animations instead of replacing each line. I wonder if there is a way to force the load order of mods, because ideally the fox mod should be loaded first before other mods. You could try modifying the Ancient Armory mod file modinfo to depend on the fox mod to "patch" it.

PetraTheSquishy, Jan 18th 2025 at 8:26 AM

Just as an update to the mod author, though this may be more due to the known issue.
When using a mod like Ancient Armory, some of the weapons won't play animation or work. I'm assuming this is more on the weapon mod's side, but I'm not sure.
Otherwise, I love what you've done! Thank you for bringing something like this back! It's adorable! <3

Malactus , Jan 18th 2025 at 7:17 AM

MasterNip Shoot, thanks for reporting it, there was a slipup and i forgot to update the transfer file (I wrote some custom tools to compare and transfer animations ) with the version I had fixed the falx animation on and hadnt tested that again recently.

The animation would have crash regardless if third person or not and its was a reoccurrance of a previous bug the mod was having.

I have released 2.20.1 which fixes that issue

MasterNip, Jan 18th 2025 at 4:11 AM

Falx animations appear to crash the game in third-person for me. Is anyone else getting this?

System.InvalidOperationException: Invalid animation 'falx'. Has QuantityFrames set to 30 but a key frame at frame 30. QuantityFrames always must be higher than frame number
at Vintagestory.API.Common.Animation.GenerateAllFrames(ShapeElement[] rootElements, Dictionary`2 jointsById, Boolean recursive) in VintagestoryApi\Common\Model\Animation\Animation.cs:line 97

Aksyl, Jan 18th 2025 at 1:38 AM

LadyBlakeHammer

I really wish there was a mod that added playable races, like a shorter goblinoid and/or kobold, etc. I think Starbound is a great comparison, though I'd suspect each playable-race-plugin would rely on certain unique items, like clothes unless otherwise specified.

Malactus , Jan 17th 2025 at 11:43 PM

I've updated the mod to be 1.20 compatible with fixed animations for the missing animations.. Enjoy!

Pb_, Dec 31st 2024 at 3:50 PM

Sailboat animations seem to also be broken

 

Moovry, Dec 12th 2024 at 9:05 PM

Thanks for the update! Really appreciate you keeping the mod going.

Malactus , Dec 12th 2024 at 12:33 AM

there are quite alot more animations (13 more animations) and alot more renaming of animations (117 total changes) which may take a while to add support for and keep working between 1.19 and 1.20. I will wait for translating /transferring majority of them once the update is closer to release. for now, im just making sure its stable, however i need to refine my pipeline to stabilize it as my tooling has broken and cannot do transfers from old to new, so i have to do it by hand manually on the json.

The broken / missing animations are

rideElk-Jump-fp
rideElk-Run
rideElk-Run-fp
rideElk-Walk

rideelk-Idle

Mereel, Dec 11th 2024 at 8:59 PM

Oh btw it seems like the new boat use a new sitting animation or something cause when using this mod my character just stands in it, thank you for the continued support of it too btw!

Malactus , Dec 10th 2024 at 4:50 PM

I will be updating the 1.20-rc version as soon as I have the time to fix it for those who are daring to go to a release candidate so quick, was planning to save a bit more time (there is ALOt to fix) so i can add more than just a bug fix. However since some are impatient to wait for the actual release of 1.20, I have released the 1.20-rc fix which should atleast allow one to use the mod with the latest version; even if it may be way more jank than usual

Folferz, Dec 7th 2024 at 5:04 PM

Thank you so much for this mod! I love being a cute vintage anthro foxy. Do you intend to update for future versions of the game? Best wishes <3

Moovry, Dec 5th 2024 at 3:00 PM

Mod is consistently causing the game to crash in 1.20-rc1 when swinging a falx weapon. Here's the crash data:

Game Version: v1.20.0-rc.1 (Unstable)

Thank you so much for such a cool mod 🦊

Mjochabelle, Oct 10th 2024 at 11:53 AM

Thank you for this amazing mod!

FeroxWildBorn, Sep 28th 2024 at 8:54 PM

I agree, we need a digitigrade one; but optional!

If the older textures could work with the digitigrade legs that would make things loads better too; I've made a couple custom textures and i'd like to have them keep working!

Also, remaking the helmets in some fun new style to work with the head would be cool too! like a more... pigface bascinet style helmet for the blackguard and forlorn hope helmets for example, to help accomodate the nose would be a sweet addition.

ColdWhim, Sep 25th 2024 at 1:41 PM

We NEED digitigrade legs version! 🦊

DOGE__LORD, Sep 22nd 2024 at 5:46 PM

Thank you so much for this mod I was waiting for such a long time you are the best!

Malactus , Sep 19th 2024 at 9:31 PM

Updated was made to address issues with the hair floating off position and to address crashing on 1.20 due to new attachment points.

Caliber, Sep 17th 2024 at 1:25 AM

Nice

Moonbyes, Sep 16th 2024 at 3:58 AM

this rules!!!!!!!

Akira_Moriko, Sep 14th 2024 at 11:20 PM

Been debating on fixing that old fox model however I am still new to modding so I am starting small before I work on a new player model myself. thank you for updating the fox model!

 

LadyBlakeHammer, Sep 14th 2024 at 12:03 PM

What triggers me about this mod, is that its Client Side; I wish there was a way like Starbound to input races and make them playable, and other players can see them. Because I like Humans vs Seraphs.
I have a friend who likes Kobolds.

Now there is this whole thing with Foxes, this is too cool!

Malactus , Sep 14th 2024 at 12:15 AM

Updated the model with a version modelled and textured by yours truely. The old salvaged version of the 6nop6nop mod is available in the releases under version 1.1 with source files.

FeroxWildBorn, Sep 12th 2024 at 12:26 AM

FINALLY! I LOVE YOU!

I'm SO happy this is finally updated. - the update soon to come out will add more animations and some seraph stuff, so it may break it again; so please, PLEASE, keep this working; I beg you!

Demitzure, Sep 11th 2024 at 8:36 PM

First thing I saw when I logged back in ahahah, glad someone finally did it
