modding?

first bought war for the deep and played for 2.5 hours
.........then rushed back in to buy lords of chaos

my question is, is it possible for the unity engine to read loose .dds files so new custom textures could be created by modders
also would this be an option, or is it not possible due to keeping assets from being stolen

I have no clue, truthfully. I suspect it's possible because I don't think Unity has ever been very good at securing the source code of the games from what I hear.

I thought it would be fun to play with textures in the game
one in paticular being the troll, the hair and animal skin clothes he wears have a normal map that gives all the above a metallic super shiny look

True ... I can try to fix that one at least. I think I was trying to for a wet / slimy look but it didn't come out right.
