Has any information emerged regarding graphic mods(skins)?

[AndroWin]

Was there any official information regarding permission to use graphic mods? Do they ban for custom skins and so on

[RealK]

If not they should ban for it.
There is a few glitches we can use with it for seeing enemies through walls.
Also that makes buying skins useless.

Just cosmetics that, conditionally, allow you to change the appearance of the character to another. For visual aesthetics, nothing more.

I wholeheartedly agree.
If they allow them, people can just make every character that isn't them a 'box' the size of their hitbox and make them some bright ass color like neon green or some ♥♥♥♥, which significantly decreases the likelihood of missing

Sir and or madam you must be new to this.
They can literally be used for an unfair advantage. Things like what I mention above are a thing that people were first doing somethin like 15 years ago. This is why most competitive games would never allow such a thing.

That's not only cosmetic.
People can change it in a way that the model is visible trough walls.
For me is like cheating, it should be banned.

For not talking that people will stop buying skins if they can download and install their own skin lol

Thanks for the answer. I've been working in gamedev for over ten years, in many popular projects. I know perfectly well how hitboxes, hitmarkers, etc. work. In this case, in some "World of Tanks" where there are plugins for highlighting weak spots (official), in all MMORPGs there are entire assistants. I'm not even talking about changing other things.
Here we are talking about custom skins. They affect the "fairness of the game" much less than reduced ping/increased fps/reduced monitor latency. Yes, even scripts sewn into the mouse, which cannot be found by any anti-cheat, are many times more dangerous than just a cosmetic mod.
You are thinking in the wrong direction.

I am interested in the policy of the developers of this particular game.
I have not yet encountered games where this kind of thing is "punished by a ban". With the exception of a couple of little-known projects.
I want to know OFFICIAL INFORMATION FROM THE DEVELOPERS

[craig skinflute]

The developers stated that using mods/configs to remove shadows and such aren't advisable because they may trip the anticheat (I've seen a couple people post that they have been banned by the anticheat on the MR subreddit). I'm fairly certain the usage of mods in general is against NetEase TOS, though how they would detect it without the anticheat being flagged I'm not sure.
In other words, its not worth the risk.

But what about the animation of the female body physics?

Even if you can do something like make the visual model larger so that its harder for some characters to hide around corners, thats honestly enough for me to agree that they should ban visual mods. Regardless of what vague gamedev experience you clame to have, I'm sure you can at least see the logic in that.

The fact that you say "much less than", instead of "not at all", speaks volumes.
Also skins could theoretically reduce ping and increase FPS, which you claim affect fairness a lot more.

So no matter how you slice it, skins can have an affect on the fairness, and should not be allowed.

Also, that WoT example is a great one; I may use that in future responses to similar requests.

Well my dude, the devs don't come here. Your best bet would be to ask on the Discord. I know some of us Steam users despise that platform, but that's the only place you can get a real answer. If you don't know where to find it, click the Discord Icon on the friendslist in game next to the search bar

Myself, and I'm sure many others, would appreciate if you tell us what they say (ideally in screenshot form)

If you were into mods you'd know nobody is doing that, it's all gooner skins or performance buffs

[XenoJoker]

people seem to forget that league of legends is a free game that relies on skin sales, and they dont ban the use of custom skins, sometimes, devs cannot make the skins people want due to age restrictions and resource drain on their end.
