We appreciate your hard work, mate.Non-Progress Report for April 24th 2022
NOTE: On this typical fear/uncertainty/doubt stuff, consider:
(I haven't watched the video since I hate watching people play games, but if they are using ReShade, that is a useful too, I used it with STO until the big lighting revamp rendered it obsolete for me.)
- We are modifying *cosmetic* game files, not changing how the game mechanics work. I really don't think Cryptic gives a fuck.
- These kinds of mods have been around for a very long time.
- I don't think any STO modders have received a C&D (cease & desist) notice.
- If Cryptic wasn't "ok" with having local overrides for textures/geometry the game wouldn't allow it at all in a production/shipping setup (and there's a lot of stuff they could've done to make reading their data files impossible or extremely difficult).
Having said that, it would also be dangers to post STO screenshots showing nudity on public forums, because the conservative weirdos are always going apeshit about anything involving nudity or sex (but guns and killing always seem fine) - which could force Cryptic or CBS/Paramount to force their hand. So when sharing screenshots, streaming your game, just use your brain and things will be fine.
I'm still busy with other things that have come up, I'm giving STO some clock ticks though if the bin package I put up to go with 3.5.4 stops working at all, please let me know and I'll at least rebuild it.
If anyone makes any kind of breakthrough please post what you find with all the technical details, this should be a group effort (something I wasn't fond of with the ZTS era. I greatly appreciate and respect The ZTS but it was way too "closed source" for my liking.)
And your bin package is perfectly working. Thanks for your hard work. Cheers.
