Namityyy Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Please forgive me if this question has an obvious answer - I'm illiterate modding wise, and this is my first time researching on this topic and attempting to deal with these files.I wanted to make a mod that retextures Wortox's facial expressions - he just looks too mad all the time man. - but I've noticed that dealing with his textures is not an easy task: differently from most characters, all of his char model textures are locked behind a .dyn file, due to him being a DLC character. So I'd like to know: is there any way to retexture him without having to use an external tool that decrypts and compiles .dyn files? If there isn't: is it ok to use these tools, considering my goals aren't in any ways malicious? A little preview of the edits I have in mind... subject to change, since I was simply doodling wondering what on Earth I should do about the .dyns.

DecDuck Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) As far as I know, you aren't allowed to reskin pre-existing characters Edit: I'm trying to find where it says this, but I can't find the article. Does anyone know where it is?

Namityyy Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Wait, really? I saw a few threads where users retextured vanilla characters, so I assumed that was allowed. But to be fair, all threads I saw are from 2016 or older, so the rules might have been updated to disallow that...

penguin0616 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) There have been several posts about this topic. Here's one semi-related. Two important excerpts: Quote Can I skin Wilson or any other official character?No, Peter has told me to make sure that everybody is very aware that this is off limits... We've been given a gift so let's not squander it! Quote Klei strongly forbids the use of modders creating skins for any official character/item. I would assume that retexturing an official character falls under making a skin for the character, which is forbidden.

Namityyy Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Oh, I see... that's a shame, I really wanted to change his eyebrows. Guess I'll have to deal with Wortox looking like Maxwell's animorph. Thanks for the answers though!
