Reason behind there being no mods?

[moldorm]

This game is extremely old at this point, and has a massive playerbase. I'm baffled that there are no mods for this game at all. Not even texture mods. Why is this? I haven't been able to find an explanation or answer to this anywhere. Every game is moddable, especially one like this. So what gives!

hello,

because game's architecture and engine don't support any outside modifications. do not forget it isn't PC-game, it was Xbox game for years until it was ported on PC. so lack of modding is expected =/

[T.A.G.]

Castle Crashers source files are packed into proprietary files which we can open but not edit or save. There's basically no way to edit something in the game code or textures and shove it back into the game and have it launch properly.

You can make texture mods for Castle Crashers via a 3d party yool called TexMod (and various have been made).

You can also mess with the game's inner workings with Cheat Engine and sort of "mod" the game like that. For example: https://youtu.be/NB1L-zq4aUE

Also a real mod you can make is for the game's sound and music, because they are stored openly in the game files in a readable format, so you can just replace them with something else you like. A lot of sound mods have been made already too.
