Feedback talk:User/Kairu/Allow users to use their own textures.

Anet has stated before that they are in no way resposible for mods like that. Also, they created the game in one way, not to have other people mod it. Though I like your idea, I do not think this is something Anet should work on. ~ Sanna 01:12, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * You misunderstand. I am not asking for them to take responsibility, or that they should. I am simply saying that such a feature would be a good integration idea. Many users already use Texmod, and while it is not officially supported, it is allowed. I'm suggesting that they simply look for textures in a Mods sub-folder, and apply them instead of the original.
 * Nothing of the mechanics themselves would be changed, just the graphics. Think of it as applying a theme to your operating system. -- Kairu 02:03, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * They would basically have to reprogram the entire way the .dat file works, not to mention how the game updates, and then Support would get flooded with a bunch of e-mails from people who broke their game trying to mod it, and Support has to tell them all to uninstall, then reinstall everything. While this would be very cool -- I remember how much fun modding and using mods in Oblivion was -- it's just not a feasible project.  &mdash;Jette  [[Image:User_Jette_awesome.png|19px]] 02:17, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * They would also have to change the EULA drastically (like it matters anyway). I don't see this suggestion ever happening. ~Shard  [[Image:User Shard Sig Icon.png]] 02:30, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Not true at all. The dat would remain basically as is. It's a few settings, some checks before loading textures. It would require some extra finesse around that, a UI (Or even just command line arguments). Think party search, splitting up of chats, or even when they changed the look of the UI from the old to the new theme for complexity. Problems... Not really. Given absolutely no information on Texmod when it was first released, in a single file, with no support. Thousands of user have used it, with the only real support issue being "My anti-virus says it a virus!". Or questions, which are being posted here anyway.
 * The EULA would have no issue with it. maybe a "All user made modifications are not supported by NCSoft, and we take no responsibility for any mods used." But there is no direct changing of any data, no infringing on anything in it. --Kairu 02:50, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
