No. The mods "work", but only when you are zoomed in. This was the case for most recent patches, and the workaround was to change an .ini file to adjust LOD settings. To quote an XXMI dev,

While mods are still loading, the setting in Engine.ini the tool relied on to make the mods work at different distances/LODs has now been blocked for reasons unknown (possibly performance related, or related to the new render distance option). As a result, once the camera moves too far from the model the model will swap to a lower detail (LOD) one and the mod will be unloaded.

The change specific to this update which had not been a problem in any previous update is, Kuro disabled the ability to change the .ini file, so now there is no (simple) way to apply the mods from a large camera distance, which is most of the gameplay. 

Maybe UI mods are not impacted, I don't use them so I don't know. But mods were disrupted to a much more fundamental degree than "new update as usual" which is generally just updating a few hashes.

I see.

Well i supported kuro a lot in the past from hoyo shill but seeing how genshin still allows mod after so many years and kuro trying to break mods after getting a good profit for once i feel like kuro is trying to be worse than hoyo in the long run, their greed past coming back lol just like pgr global lauch 

Genshin allows mods?! Remember about a year ago when genshin had that stupid pop up every 5 mins that returns you to the login screen? I quit then so dont know about now. But pretty sure genshin is way more harsh with mods

[knowledge32]

I find it somewhat amusing when people accuse Kuro of maliciously targeting mods. If Kuro really wanted to ban mods, it could have completely blocked them at the technical level instead of leaving a loophole that could be exploited. They could even go so far as to ban mod creators outright—and I’m not joking: if you think Kuro is targeting mod creators maliciously, just look at Mihoyo next door. They’re currently suing mod creators in China en masse, dragging them to court, sending them to prison, and seeking damages—take the well-known creator KanouSakura, for example.

 

Having mods to play is great—I love it—but if Kuro completely bans mods, there’s nothing we mod players can do about it. Loud protests? Don’t make me laugh, man. This thread has spanned 79 pages from start to finish, with 25 posts per page—that’s 18,225 comments. Yet Kuro sparked a massive war of 100,000 comments in a single day on February 14th, simply because Luuk Herssen posted a Valentine’s Day greeting in the community instead of Aemeath doing so on the official Chinese account. Stop spending and quit the game? My most optimistic estimate is that mod players make up 10% of the total player base. To be honest, I don’t think the spending habits of this 10% can match those of the female player base. Even if the male-to-female character ratio in WUWA reaches 5:1, the male character gacha pools are still primarily funded by passionate female players. I’m pessimistic about whether mod players’ spending power alone can sustain a male character gacha pool. Unfortunately, if all female players and all mod players were to leave wuwa, Kuro would certainly find a way to win back the female players rather than the mod players. Moreover, character skins are another area where Kuro can generate revenue—they just haven’t prioritized it yet. If future skin sales and reception are positive, that’s when the end of the road will truly come for mod players.

This content was posted from KanouSakura’s personal account. During the Spring Festival, he received a warning from miHoYo’s legal team. We do not know what agreement he reached with miHoYo’s legal team, but ultimately, he deleted all his mod works and withdrew from the modding community.

He had previously created mods for both miHoYo and Kuro Games, but was ultimately stopped by miHoYo. If you think Kuro is maliciously targeting mod creators, then take a look at what true malice actually looks like. At least Kuro Games hasn’t gone so far as to intimidate mod creators and send them cease-and-desist letters.

There is no evidence to support the claim that KanouSakura was arrested and imprisoned for creating the ZZZ mod.

“By the way, I’m safe and sound, though I may face some compensation. Some ill-intentioned individuals have doctored photos and spread rumors claiming I’ve been arrested. Please don’t believe or spread these rumors.”

“I’ve been a huge fan of Absolute Zero since it launched and have even purchased two full-level characters. Considering that my mods have brought some traffic and new players to the game, I hope you’ll cut me some slack.”

To all friends who have been following this matter and who care about me:

    Regarding the statements I made and my actions in the past, I failed to express myself with sufficient seriousness and sincerity, and did not fully demonstrate a willingness to confront the issues head-on. Today, I wish to offer my deepest apologies and reflect on my actions with the utmost sincerity.

    First and foremost, I would like to extend my most sincere apologies to miHoYo and the *Zero District* development team.
Without permission, I used *Zero District* game assets to create a mod and uploaded it to a public platform. This action constitutes a serious infringement of miHoYo’s legitimate copyright. Regardless of my initial intentions, such conduct—which crosses legal boundaries and infringes upon the legitimate rights and interests of others—is entirely wrong and leaves no room for excuse. Furthermore, the inappropriate statements I made in my previous remarks, in which I attempted to justify my actions, only highlight my lack of responsibility and my dismissive attitude. I feel deeply ashamed and remorseful for this.

    Furthermore, as a player who has always loved *Zero District*, I am fully aware that this work embodies the countless days and nights of hard work and talent from the development team. This love should have been transformed into respect and protection, yet due to my extreme lack of legal awareness and blurred understanding of the boundaries of rights, it ultimately led me in the opposite direction.

    Reflecting on the sequence of events: Initially, relying solely on my technical skills and driven by a fondness for the game’s characters, I created related mods. After seeing them gain some attention, I mistakenly equated them with “player-generated content” out of a sense of complacency, completely failing to realize that such actions constituted copyright infringement and crossed legal boundaries.

    This cognitive bias and misconduct caused significant harm to the developers’ hard work and betrayed everyone’s expectations for compliant creation; I deeply regret this.

    Here, I once again offer my sincere apologies to miHoYo, the *Zero District* development team, and all friends affected by my actions. I am willing to take full responsibility for all consequences resulting from this incident. I will proactively cooperate with the relevant authorities, fulfill my legal obligations and financial liabilities through concrete actions, and do my utmost to rectify my mistakes and mitigate the impact.

    This incident has taught me a lesson I will never forget. In the future, I will diligently study relevant laws and regulations, strengthen my legal awareness and commitment to compliance, strictly regulate my own behavior, never cross such red lines again, and respect the intellectual property rights of others. 

    Once again, I offer my most sincere apologies to all parties affected by my actions. I earnestly ask for the opportunity to reform and start anew, and I welcome everyone’s oversight of my future conduct.

    Finally, I would like to say:

    *Zero Zone* is an outstanding work that embodies the dedication and talent of the development team; its unique art style and exquisite production have always been the reasons for my love for it. I sincerely hope that everyone will continue to follow and support *Zero Zone*, and I look forward to the game bringing even more surprises in the future. Moving forward, I will return to being an ordinary player and, in the proper manner, show my appreciation for the development team’s dedication and hard work.

When I logged on today, I found two more pages of posts—and then endless arguments, and unsurprisingly, mihoyo was involved. How ridiculous that people are so impatient and passionately arguing online about mod bugs caused by version updates—this is something I see every day on the Chinese internet, and I never expected to see it here.

I’m a loyal Kuro Games fan who plays both PGR and Wuwa. In PGR, I’ve purchased many skins, but I have absolutely no desire to spend money on skins in Wuwa.

Even though PGR has a PC client, I never once thought about using mods as a reason to skip buying skins there. The real issue is that after playing both, it’s clear that Kuro's skin quality in Wuwa just isn't up to par.

Currently, I spend about $125.1 to $250.2 per month across both games. While I agree that we shouldn’t complain if they crack down on mods, I have to be honest: with or without mods, I still wouldn't want to buy the current skins in Wuwa.

i notice Chisa old mods patched with stabletexture have much less breaking than others

so even if engine.ini is locked down for good with enough time and dedication people can do the same patch for all other characters

right?

it only fixes textures (you can "fix" it by "just" using ultra lod setting in the game) but not meshes at distance

If that makes sense, they (Kuro) are going to try to optimize their game however they see fit, and they don't care if a modder has to spend three weeks trying to fix a single mod. Maybe it's like you say: modding for Wuwa isn't going to disappear, it'll just mean modders have to work four times as hard to fix a single mod.

I think that, in the long run, if it becomes too complicated for them (Wuwa modders) to make “Mod Skins” for the game, then they’ll simply give up on Wuwa modding.

Let’s hope that doesn’t happen. Good luck fixing your mods—I hope you don’t have to work too hard to repair them.

 

At the end of the day, the kuro development team has no obligation to create a moddable platform, we are able to as they did not put strict restrictions to deny us from doing so... yet at least. It is their IP after all, modding is a gray area, do not mistake it for being allowed, they just choose not to do anything about it as of now. If modding dies, it kinda is an it is what it is situation, the forum is 730 pages long, but make no mistake in thinking that we are a sizable portion to the playerbase, we are but a fraction. I hope it doesn't but yeah, can only hope lol.

what you said makes no sense, mods do generate money for wuwa i and a lot of friends swipe t get the character because of its mods i bought skins just because oof the moods s i dont miss out on them, i never missed a single month without lunite just to make sure i will get thee character i want and the vast majority oof my pulls were because the mods i saw of them and a lt of people are like this so yea modding is making the game more successful

 

As to your dead game theory, make no mistake you may have a lot of friends, but compared to the playerbase of wuthering, we are but a fraction, you put it on a graph, you will not be able to see us. You remove the players that play solely for mods, it'd just be forgotten in a report somewhere. Trust, you overestimate the amount of modders in a game. Most people either are too scared, don't know how, or just lazy to mod. This applies to every game, not only wuthering waves. I know you might see 730 pages and think we're tough shit, but wuwa can actually nuke mods tmr, put all their files on cloud, we play through a connection through it, and profits wouldn't have a significant impact for them to care in the slightest.

 

Like, it'd be a shittier experience, but I'll still play the game is my experience personally. But I do get where you're coming from, I used to like Nikke, but the gameplay was becoming more and more of a drag, the only thing good was the story, and the mods. But when mods were becoming increasingly impossible, I decided to quit the game. But like, I don't expect because I quit, the company will collapse or anything, in fact they are collapsing for another entirely unrelated reason lol.

Oh shit, I wasn't speculating then, wtf. Ok but it's China, they give no fucks about this, kinda like Japan afaik. But holy shit, they be cracking down like trying to stop crackers of Denuvo wtf. The gacha version of Nintendo I guess, decent games, shitty company. I played all 4, stopped all 4 lol, not anything political tho, just fell out of interest even with mods.

[IncogACC]

This is 2.8 all over again, UI mods got fucked by a bunch of texture assets being assigned to dynamic atlas' instead of static textures, so several UI assets just became unmoddable.

3.0 reverted this change for some reason, so there's a chance they'll go back to static atlas' next patch, but who knows.

 

For now, I'll keep an archive of everything pre-break and just fix what can be fixed, but a heads up that a bunch of the UI mods I do repair will be missing a good few pieces after this.

[Reaquainer]

Can't we just lock ini files to be readable only so the lines can't be removed, or any other to prevent file from being modified?
