Okay, or NOT? :X

Editing is editing, and that can get you banned. HOWEVER, I doubt anyone would notice

thanks for quoting that for evidence officer hero. Perhaps it would be better just to advise her to take the post down about editing system files, and not be a jerk wad about it.

any questions like this, assume the answer is no, and ask one of the GM/admins about it via forum PM first. Though im pretty sure its against the rules. Maybe take your post down so officer hero is the only one breaking rules by putting his evidence on show for everyone, and show that you didn't have any intention to break rules, but had a temporary lapse in judgment.

b:thanks

Lemme say this first, Curly hair removed from customization page was A WAY unfair and insolent to players who had this hairstyle for months. I don't see anything against TOS here. Because we're the ones that had been deceived without any notice. I highly refuse to pay for Scroll for no reason.

b:dirty It's just too lovely. But let's wait for GM response on that matter.

Tideborns have a hairstyle that matches my hair in real life.
Long, thick, with chopped bangs.
However, my veno is the character i made (tried my best) to look like me. BUT of course there are no veno hairstyles that match me. Which has always bothered me about my veno.
Now my hair finally shows up in PW and its for the wrong class.

Chibiusa, I'm not too familiar with the mechanics of this game but I used to swap .dat files in FFXI so i could see the cool unreleased animations when I casted spells that I chose to replace. If youre just swapping .dat files then the new hair should only appear that way to you... so even though you get the pretty hair, other people see the original hair under that title... because thats the file they have when the game loads that particular hair file name.

In other words, swapping .dat files is not only harmless (because it can affect noone else) but the only way I could imagine the GMs even finding out about it is through file verification processes which I WOULD HOPE they are busy working on other much more important things

Chibiusa, I wasn't intending to bring up the general ban thing - I was only stating why I hadn't tried it myself, as a simple bit of caution on my own part as the rules stated that no files are to be edited, files aren't specifically stated so the general assumption would mean that none of the files should be edited outside of the game and/or development team.

And as for the colour on the premade character design, the colours could have possibly been made on an earlier colour editor, however the colour still technically exists but isn't shown to be actively selectable before being limited in a final release as most colour palettes will have different variations before a final one is released from what I have found going over files for other things.

And the hair should theoretically be visible due to it being a direct model ID swap. Instead of it loading up only on the single user's system the game would load up the hair file specific to that number once it connects to the server. Whereas, if you were to pull and swap files that only you had found and activated or swapped out - only you would see the changes.

Really, I just wanted to thank you for showing it, because I'm too slack to do any test modifications myself...

I think you are trying too hard to look for an excuse of why you can do it. Maybe you should ticket or wait for a GM response because no matter what you say It's up to their point of view if you infringed the rules or not. Good luck.

Everyone knows that modifying ini files isn't okay. I hate to rain on the parade but any thread made promoting this or explaining how to do it will be locked.
