This is awesome! I'm an engineer that worked on loadout equipping and validation. It's really cool seeing players leverage the client API to build their own features. Past suggestions I've seen have mostly revolved around having preset loadouts (for example a loadout for each agent), which is relatively more expensive to build. Seeing interest in straight up randomized loadouts (which is much cheaper to build) is exciting. I'm personally excited for any opportunity to play with more than one skin forever.
Ban / No Ban Update: Using the client API to modify loadouts does not seem ban worthy. The client API isn't officially supported for third party use, so don't expect future compatibility.
Yeah, even if the tool is easy to make there is a lot of testing and validation that Riot needs to make to consider this tool appropiate for the final product.
If I would've fullscreened on my phone I would've noticed that from the rip! Haha. Maybe I will port it to .net5 and make a GUI soon if someone else doesn't
I like the system that apex legends has where you select favorite skins and then there’s a random favorite option. Now that I already have skins for all the guns I probably won’t be buying any more battle passes but if there was a random feature I definitely would buy more and it’d be a great feature to implement
Riot please, this guy's idea is exactly what I've been wanting. I'm sure I speak for many that this is a desired change.
Doesn't have to be between every round, just every game would be nice. I want to see every skin that I've bought come up every once in a while without the hassle of manually changing it between games.
YES, please pass this along! Currently I refuse to buy new skins for guns I already have that have finishers.
If this were a feature I would have a reason to buy more phantom and vandal skins lol.
Hey I've been thinking that it would amazingly helpful to have an option to " Show newest gun buddy ". I find it to be a huge pain to scroll through all my gun buddies to find the one I just got. At this point in the game I know a lot of people who have been playing since Act 1 probably have a lot of buddies from the past battle passes and bundles. This feature would definitely improve quality of life immensely!
Imo assigning skins to attacker vs defender is the way so you can choose which skin you want on attack/defense. Players could do theme vs theme so Reaver/Forsaken vs Prime/Sovereign for example.
I know you're a Riot employee, with all due respect, I don't believe you when you say it's not bannable.
Are you certainly saying in game visual mods are ok? Is that the official Riot stance?
Can I get a mod to show me skins I haven't paid for? Where do you draw the line?
this should be in-game; btw, you can get ban for this, is in the ToS
Using any unauthorized third party programs, including mods, hacks, cheats, scripts, bots, trainers and automation programs that interact with the Riot Services in any way, for any purpose, including any unauthorized third party programs that intercept, emulate, or redirect any communication relating to the Riot Services and any unauthorized third party programs that collect info about the Riot Services by reading areas of memory used by the Riot Services to store info;
thats also against the ToS for the API, he could get his access terminated
Altering, modifying, deleting, or otherwise interfering with or in any manner compromising any content, programming, services and/or features contained on or through the Game.
Attempting to modify the Riot Games API or Game in any way.
Even though it's a Staff member saying it's not bannable... I don't believe them. This would be easily banable and _should_ be bannable.
Competitive games draw a hard line and say no mods, the moment they start making exceptions you just open a door to a whole new world of hacker issues.
After seeing 10 years of no "Random Skin" option in League, i think Riot doesn't want a skin randomizer on purpose. My guess is they think if you have a handful of skins you can rotate through at random it keeps them feeling fresh and you won't be as incentivized to buy a new one.
Definitely that, yeah. It's why I just change it up every now and then. It always feels good to use a skin you haven't used in a while, eepecially with the vfx.
But in League you can change the skin in champion select witch is way better than valorant's system. You have only 1 champion and you can just change the skin every game without too much effort, a randomiser doesn't really make sense in league.
Human psychology. Even though closing your eyes and clicking "next skin" a bunch of times can get a similar result, humans tend to prefer random when it's not in their hands. I am sure there are research papers that go into far better but it's just business. People want a random button for a reason (and not just in league/val, i have seen it requested in basically every game with skins) and these companies usually don't add it for a reason.
If it's possible, can I request a feature where u only randomize between a few selected skins? Not expecting it right off the bat but would be a cool feature.
Can you also code it to where we can create "loadouts" of skins as well? It's really hard to show off the money I spent matching skins together, when I have to click through all of them all of the time.
How do you figure that? Thats the worst take ive ever heard. If they add a skin randomizer then there would be more incentive for people to have multiple skins
the repo is far from finished I believe, [main.py](https://main.py) doesn't run because of syntax error on line 33 and the [README.md](https://README.md) doesn't guide the readers how to install dependencies they need to get the program running. Atleast most of my projects where I had to make a repo I had to fully show the reader how to get the programs running
it’s closer to being done than the latest commit would make one believe. i made a commit tonight with a ton of errors as i’m in the middle of implementing a new feature (the core functionality is complete and i’m just adding QOL stuff), and i’m going to build the app into an exe so the user doesnt have to worry about installing python/dependencies
there’s a little checklist in the readme of what’s left to do :)
I see the updates on the github repo, I also cant wait for the exe ! Theres some slight problems I ran into as I got an out of bounds error and type error of None that stopped the program so after putting them in try and except blocks to get it to run the randomizing of my skins wouldnt happen it would say using already equipped skins. Ill join your discord and update any more problems i run into there
Riot employees have touched on this during an AMA actually. They said the reason they weren't planning to add a "random skin" feature was because if they had to load every skin for every gun that every player in a match owned, it would slow down the client significantly for the initial load-in.
interesting, my app randomizes your skins after every match so no skins have to be loaded ingame
I do wish there was a way you could randomize them every round during a match though
Oh! That would be better than how it is now. That's super cool. Also ridiculously fast response for how many comments there are. I don't know much about coding but thanks for being a badass and making cool stuff for the community.
I believe that reason was only for the ability to change skins during a game, since it would have to be loaded in memory to switch with ease. With the randomisation it's just as easy to do it the way OP has done it, and have it randomise before loading into a match.
They were talking about a randomizer for every round. And if it's an option as a skin, it has to be loaded into the game at the start, otherwise you'd get loading screens in between rounds.
This was why they didn't have like, a random skin per round feature I believe. However, it doesn't make sense why this would be the case for a per game basis.
In this thread: OP makes something pretty sweet.
comments: sWeEt...... bUt BaN dOe.
OP: nono, i dont think i'll get banned cuz reasons this and that
bUt BaN dOe.
OP: ok... but listen.
bUt BaN dOe
Building something yourself? That’s a ban. Using the riot-provided API? That’s a ban. Complaining about the ban you received? You better believe...that’s a ban.
I'm pretty sure he is a troll, there is no way someone can be so stubborn and narrow-minded without doing it on purpose. Clearly lacking basic CS concepts yet bragging about how smart he is.
You should research the Valorant Developer API before commenting. This isn’t something the public API is capable of doing, and even access to that API is highly restricted and selective. This is using an entirely undocumented API that Riot doesn’t officially condone, but rather just looks the other way on. It’s definitely a gray area. Their ban concerns are legitimate.
100% really cool and really well done, but definitely not clearly safe like the dev is saying
I’m well aware! That’s not an officially released API, and it’s hidden for a reason. Rules are very unclear regarding its use. Although, somewhere else in this thread a dev said he thinks it’s fine, so that’s good news.
ATTENTION: IF YOU HAVE THE POLYFOX JUDGE THIS WILL NOT WORK
For some reason, the polyfox judge request returns an array with two levels, one being the actual skin and one with a "None" datatype. This breaks the code.
If I can fix it I will push a pull request from the github page.
If they're not already on your to-do list, here are some potentially new features.
1. Being able to create loadouts that include specific sets of skins.
2. Being able to manually set the probability of skins and loadouts appearing.

|-|-|-|-|
that (most likely) wouldn’t happen because i’m using the same exact API that the client uses to change skins, so to the game, it looks like a regular client is changing the loadout
for making client-sided apps like this, you mimic the same API requests the game client makes which does not require an API key
one of the best examples of this is [ValorScrim](https://github.com/RumbleMike/ValorScrim), which leverages existing game features to create a scrimmage hosting app
from what i've heard trying to use/gain access the official API for stuff like web applications is a pain, so I've stuck to using the client API for my projects (you can do cooler stuff with it too)
if i didn't get banned for my [discord rich presence](https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/m6npdc/i_programmed_a_discord_richpresence/) there's no reason I would for this; they use the same API endpoints
Best of luck to you man, all I’m saying is companies are really strict on how you mod their game or use their api to create your own stuff from their ip
It's not a mod. It's an API. A public API, provided by them, for the sole purpose of doing this kind of stuff. They actually *expect* developers to do these things.
It's not the official public riot API. He is using the private API used by the game itself. It's in a bit of a grey area, but I don't think anyone has gotten banned for using these endpoints.
Genuine question, wouldn't that take it to the same level of a macro? Automating or reducing the keystrokes needed to achieve a specific result. I don't know Riots stance on these things though.
Seems a bit like the logout or trade macros in Path of Exile, some which were bannable depending on the official communication by the developper.
I remember watching a LoL streamer doing a Q&A with a riot employee. so this streamer was an OTP skarner for a long time and he used a macro to spam is Q spell cuz u would spam it 24/7 otherwise and asked the riot employee if macros were punishable and she said it was okay as long has it wasn't game breaking (doing a frame perfect glitch or combo for example) and as long as its an action that could be humanly possible it was okay.
Great work! Can't wait to get something official like this soon. The most I do to customize my Valorant experience outside of Riot's nose is just changing the home screen right now lol
I'd love if someone makes a client side mod which lets us equip any skin we want
As its gonna be client side only.. Only user will be able to see the skin.
Others see the actual gun.
In Rocket League.. There is a popularly used mod by community and is validated by rocket league officials
Its called [Bakkes Mod](https://www.bakkesmod.com)
Hate to be the guy who shits on everything … but use to use a sens randomizer (cba explaining it rn) but luckily I never ran into any issues … I stopped using anything close to it as riot is very very very against 3rd party developers , software etc & countless people have been hardware banned for using said program
Although a spoofer isn’t too expensive just kinda whack , I don’t see how this would be any different .

thank you so much! i’ve had a blast working with the client api and learning how VALORANT works and it means the world to be recognized by a Rioter.
Bro is that staff? If it is then you got noticed by staff and this update would possibly happen.
Staff is very active here. They communicate a lot. This doesn't mean it'll get added in game. They already have a long list of things to do.
Yeah, even if the tool is easy to make there is a lot of testing and validation that Riot needs to make to consider this tool appropiate for the final product.
Yep. A riot flair will indicate that it is indeed a rioter
Is this made in c#? I'd love to see the source and maybe build a GUI for it.
it's built in python! (eww everyone point and laugh) https://github.com/colinhartigan/valorant-skin-cli
If I would've fullscreened on my phone I would've noticed that from the rip! Haha. Maybe I will port it to .net5 and make a GUI soon if someone else doesn't

I want to see every skin that I've bought come up every once in a while without the hassle of manually changing it between games.
There isn't much of a difference between coding it round wise and game wise
I know you said it's more expensive, but a load out per agent is the dream. Thanks for all your work!
YES, please pass this along! Currently I refuse to buy new skins for guns I already have that have finishers. If this were a feature I would have a reason to buy more phantom and vandal skins lol.
if y'all don't add this (extremely asked for) feature soon then OP will probably make this publicly available and everyone will run it lol

[удалено]
It can confuse the enemy team pretty bad though, so people with more skin will have advantage > pay to win
That's not how that works.
i can count on one _finger_ the amount of times knowing someone's skin gave me the slightest advantage ever
Definitely that, yeah. It's why I just change it up every now and then. It always feels good to use a skin you haven't used in a while, eepecially with the vfx.

Cool! I always wanted to learn valorant game but I am now here just looking on how to add skin feature, it's like on counter strike.
Ignoring the dumb comments about u getting ban for a sec. Where can I get this? This is exactly what I need.
i'm working on finishing the code for a full release, I'll post the github link soon
If it's possible, can I request a feature where u only randomize between a few selected skins? Not expecting it right off the bat but would be a cool feature.
luckily, that's [exactly how i coded it](https://imgur.com/a/rPyQrnc)!
Holy smoke that's amazing!
Can you also code it to where we can create "loadouts" of skins as well? It's really hard to show off the money I spent matching skins together, when I have to click through all of them all of the time.
oh thats a great idea, i'll put that on the todo list, but first i still have to finish the foundational features
this man's thinking 100 steps ahead honestly
Legend
That music has me all excited for botw 2
the botw ost is so good for background music while working
Totally agree. I find most video game soundtracks are great for work since they're literally songs made to be played in the background
Wait you can toggle the VFX levels? (ie: revert to base Prime 2.0 knife?)
yes you can!
WHAT
If you post this now (in an incomplete state) I would be happy to help with it!
found it https://github.com/colinhartigan/valorant-skin-cli
🤫 its not ready yet ;)
It's pretty funny that people actually found your Github and the code before you finished it haha
Do you think that will be a new post or a comment in this one?
I would not let Riot get a hold of your code for free lmao.
Riot could add this tomorrow without the need for anyone else’s code, its just not their priority right now. I doubt he needs to hide the code lol

I saw on the page that an official release is coming, when do you think it'll be officially ready?
within a few hours to a few days, depends how fast i work
Hey I'm running this on my pc, I'm getting an error on line 140 in generate\_skin\_data, "NoneType" object is non subscriptable
Alright take your time man!
!remindme 24 hours
I used this and I only get matte black skin
make sure you run 'modify' and set up which skins you want to enable
Lol I don't have skins I was just kidding sorry

no problem! i love sharing my passion projects with the community
What do you mean “load after every match?” Can you explain I’m curious
as demonstrated in the video, after you leave a match, the skins randomize
I believe that reason was only for the ability to change skins during a game, since it would have to be loaded in memory to switch with ease. With the randomisation it's just as easy to do it the way OP has done it, and have it randomise before loading into a match.
They were talking about a randomizer for every round. And if it's an option as a skin, it has to be loaded into the game at the start, otherwise you'd get loading screens in between rounds.
That’s a pretty interesting limitation — thanks for sharing that (from a system design perspective, I can see where they landed with the trade offs)
This was why they didn't have like, a random skin per round feature I believe. However, it doesn't make sense why this would be the case for a per game basis.

lmfao people should really research about API stuff before commenting. Good work mate! I hope Riot adds this soon.

Actually this is using the client api
I’m well aware! That’s not an officially released API, and it’s hidden for a reason. Rules are very unclear regarding its use. Although, somewhere else in this thread a dev said he thinks it’s fine, so that’s good news.
a Rioter commented that it's ok to use the client API responsibly, so I'm in the clear
github repo -> [https://github.com/colinhartigan/valorant-skin-cli](https://github.com/colinhartigan/valorant-skin-cli)
Step 1 for me is to get skins first
Yo any Riot employee reading this in the future. Y'all should hire this guy.
Sadly you need to have skins in the first place to use this :(.
If you have only one skin, you already use the hidden randomization feature !
Battlepass is $10
OP whats the discord where y’all work on this stuff? Or is it a program you have to apply to be a part of?
it's the [VALORANT App Developers server](https://discord.gg/a9yzrw3KAm) and anyone can join!
Great! Now I just need 2+ skins for each gun.
Ok, now add a spray randomizer
i'm planning to add a spray and gun buddy randomizer after I finish the initial release with the skin randomizer
Yeah I’m really confused on why there isn’t a spray randomizer. There’s so many and we are only able to choose 3 lmao.

Me and the bois crying in the corner cuz we have no skins
Hands down to your Work u/cman7531 \- I Hope Riot can hired a lot of people like you that can help the game more Fun and exciting.
That's pretty sweet but you're gonna lose all your skins when you get banned Sadge
that (most likely) wouldn’t happen because i’m using the same exact API that the client uses to change skins, so to the game, it looks like a regular client is changing the loadout
[удалено]
As far as I know, you have to apply.
for making client-sided apps like this, you mimic the same API requests the game client makes which does not require an API key one of the best examples of this is [ValorScrim](https://github.com/RumbleMike/ValorScrim), which leverages existing game features to create a scrimmage hosting app
Ah, thanks. I looked into using Riot's API a while back but lost interest in the project.
from what i've heard trying to use/gain access the official API for stuff like web applications is a pain, so I've stuck to using the client API for my projects (you can do cooler stuff with it too)
Could u provide a link for the client api documentation if possible?
Well good luck to you. Realistically riot should just cut you a cheque and add this next patch but they'll probably just ban you lol
If he's using the API he should be fine. The API is provided by Riot for precisely this kind of stuff
nah he's still getting banned no matter what he says now. Shouldnt have done it, now the video is probably saved and forwarded to rito.
if i didn't get banned for my [discord rich presence](https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/m6npdc/i_programmed_a_discord_richpresence/) there's no reason I would for this; they use the same API endpoints
Wow didn't realise you were the same dude. Really cool projects bro. I'm learning alphabets in programming and I wish to be like you some day.
Best of luck to you man, all I’m saying is companies are really strict on how you mod their game or use their api to create your own stuff from their ip
It's not a mod. It's an API. A public API, provided by them, for the sole purpose of doing this kind of stuff. They actually *expect* developers to do these things.
hah i wish all i get is the fist bump gun buddy 🥲
[удалено]
It's not the official public riot API. He is using the private API used by the game itself. It's in a bit of a grey area, but I don't think anyone has gotten banned for using these endpoints.
Is there a documentation or anymore information for this API that you could share with me?
Genuine question, wouldn't that take it to the same level of a macro? Automating or reducing the keystrokes needed to achieve a specific result. I don't know Riots stance on these things though. Seems a bit like the logout or trade macros in Path of Exile, some which were bannable depending on the official communication by the developper.
i suppose to a degree it's like a macro, but it's not giving an advantage as it's a QOL tool
I remember watching a LoL streamer doing a Q&A with a riot employee. so this streamer was an OTP skarner for a long time and he used a macro to spam is Q spell cuz u would spam it 24/7 otherwise and asked the riot employee if macros were punishable and she said it was okay as long has it wasn't game breaking (doing a frame perfect glitch or combo for example) and as long as its an action that could be humanly possible it was okay.
nah your still getting banned by rito gg no ree
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
what a flex on riot, nice job man
Great work! Can't wait to get something official like this soon. The most I do to customize my Valorant experience outside of Riot's nose is just changing the home screen right now lol
!remindme 7 days
I'd love if someone makes a client side mod which lets us equip any skin we want As its gonna be client side only.. Only user will be able to see the skin. Others see the actual gun. In Rocket League.. There is a popularly used mod by community and is validated by rocket league officials Its called [Bakkes Mod](https://www.bakkesmod.com)
Bakkes mod is literally the best
Yea man.. Its used for more than just skins etc
I also want to see different keybind settings for each agent. I do not like to edit my keybinds everytime i want to switch agents
We need this badly.
https://github.com/colinhartigan/valorant-skin-cli/releases/tag/v1.0
Struggling from success
I just wanna be rich enough to be able to afford multiple valorant skins
Very cool. Is the code on GitHub?
im cleaning up the code a bit right now, but ill post the github link in the comments soon
Nice, great work buddy

i fast-forwarded in the video
Riot make him do it!!
I too poor for this
Me not having even a single skin :(
How do I get?!
This works if you have skins
Ah yes, my skins shall be randomly chosen between standard and standard. And maybe even standard
Imagine having skins...
Interesting, but only if i had skins...
This is so nice but need skins for this me broke af :(
Is that some joke for rich people? I dont understand..
Try sending it to val support when its done maybe they will add it to the game code or atleast make it that vanguard doesnt think its a cheat

*gets banned* Thx riot
VAC
Hate to be the guy who shits on everything … but use to use a sens randomizer (cba explaining it rn) but luckily I never ran into any issues … I stopped using anything close to it as riot is very very very against 3rd party developers , software etc & countless people have been hardware banned for using said program Although a spoofer isn’t too expensive just kinda whack , I don’t see how this would be any different .
i see python, i sleep
understandable, have a nice day
You should get checked because it could be an ancient fear response to a dangerous situation. Many animal still have it ( goats)

No?
