Asset paths
A lot of assets are available in client and game files. This describes how they are organized and where to find frequently requested files.
Note: Files are sometimes reorganized by Riot. This page applies to the latest version.
On raw.communitydragon.org, LCU files
are exported at the root and game client hashes are exported in the game/
subdirectory.
Files with unknown path are put in unknown/ subdirectories.
Client paths
Most paths from client use the following format: plugins/<plugin>/<region>/<lang>/...
Where:
<plugin>is the client plugin name<region>is a region name (e.g.euw), orglobal<lang>is a language code (e.g.en_gb), ordefault
The plugin name matches the directory name in which a WAD can be found. For
instance, for .../plugins/rcp-fe-lol-missions/assets.wad, the plugin is
rcp-fe-lol-missions.
With the exception of the rcp-be-lol-game-data plugin which contains a lot of
common assets, only the fe (frontend) plugins contain assets; the be
(backend) can be ignored.
The region/lang pair allows the client to use different files depending on the
region and/or language. It is notably used for translations and censorship of
some visuals (e.g. Grave's cigar).
When retrieving an asset, the client starts by looking for a match with its
specific region and/or language, then falls back to global/default.
Mapping paths from JSON files.
The plugins/rcp-be-lol-game-data/global/default/v1/ directory contains a lot of JSON files, for a lot of game objects.
In those, asset paths can be mapped to URLs: /lol-game-data/assets/<path> is mapped to plugins/rcp-be-lol-game-data/global/default/<lowercased-path>.
For instance:
/lol-game-data/assets/ASSETS/Items/Icons2D/TeleportHome.pngmaps to plugins/rcp-be-lol-game-data/global/default/assets/items/icons2d/teleporthome.png/lol-game-data/assets/v1/champion-icons/-1.pngmaps to plugins/rcp-be-lol-game-data/global/default/v1/champion-icons/-1.png
Champion assets
Note: layout have changed and not all champions have been updated yet. For the actual path, always check the champion's JSON file from champion basic data.
Note: most assets from rcp-be-lol-game-data can be found in both LCU files and game client files.
