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.

si de verdad quieren matar los mods solo tienen que quitar la opción de directx 11

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.

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

 

I might very fkin wrong on this, but didn't Kanou Sakura got sued by Hoyoverse or something? Again, this came outta my ass off of something I read very briefly. So like kinda no I guess lol.

This content was posted from KanouSakura’s personal account. During the Chinese New Year, he was arrested by Mihoyo’s lawyers, accompanied by police, and sent to prison. We do not know what agreement he reached while inside, but after his release, he deleted all his mod works and withdrew from the modding community.

He was creating mods for both miHoYo and Kuro Games, but was ultimately shut down by miHoYo. If you think Kuro is maliciously targeting modders, then take a look at what true malice really looks like.

 

 

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?

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.

yea the zzz team got mad and felt that the flop of their skins was because of mods and saw that kanou was arguably the biggest zzz modder they just nuked him legally so now sadly we wont get his top tier mods in wuwa anymore

That calculation seems a bit off, doesn't it? lol
Does it just feel like you're desperate to deny the impact of mods?
We'd be lucky if even 5% of the player base is willing to pay.
If over 10% of players are using mods, then there's definitely an impact.
If you want to own multiple characters and use multiple mods, paying is probably a must.

don't waste your time they won't get that. me saying i paid to get characters just because of their mods seemed weird to them

此内容由 KanouSakura 的个人账号发布。春节期间，他被米哈游的律师逮捕，警方陪同入狱。我们不清楚他在狱中达成了什么协议，但出狱后，他删除了所有模组作品，并退出了模组社区。

他曾为米哈游和Kuro Games制作MOD，但最终被米哈游叫停。如果你认为Kuro恶意打压MOD制作者，那就好好看看真正的恶意是什么样子吧。

 

That is completely groundless. KanouSakura was approached by official staff from HoYoverse, and was never imprisoned—so how could there be any mention of being released from prison? He deleted all his mods, including his account, in order to reach a settlement with HoYoverse. The reason he was approached was that his internet presence was too high-profile, and his mods were so well-known that someone else modified them into R18 versions without permission and resold them. The person involved in the resale was later apprehended by the police, who then notified HoYoverse’s official staff. That is why KanouSakura was approached.

[cxo404]

Moreover, what that guy earlier said is quite right. Players who use mods for this game are only a small portion to begin with. On top of that, mods themselves already operate in a gray area, let alone R18 mods. If you don’t draw the attention of Kuro Games’ officials, they simply can’t be bothered to take action. Besides, the game’s optimization is getting worse and it requires more and more storage space—my computer is already struggling to run it, and using mods makes the frame rate even lower. Even if Kuro Games doesn’t ban mods, I’ll probably quit the game after a while.

It’s weird that there are people who just don’t get that it’s totally out of place to go out of your way to bash a mod in a community where R18 mods are the main focus. Haha.

Status on the UI mods:

We got hit pretty hard. The stuff I care about the most is still fully functional, like the stuff I put a lot of time into, but most of the stuff I maintain has been damaged to some extent. There might be fixes for certain things like NPCs, Echos and Ragunna city's inconsistency issues, but I really hesitate to make a move right now, with modding in general being in flux. I wanna see what approach Spectrum and Co end up settling on first.

I'm probably gonna step back from my modding work behind the scenes until then as well.

 

Mods that are completely unscathed (Don't need to redownload these):

• Changli BP (This thing will never die)
• Bike mods (Pog, I expected this to die thanks to LoD issues)
• Achievement mod
• Pekomama Terminal

Mods that have been fixed to 100% (Redownload them):

• Cartethyia Terminal
• Map

Mods that have been fixed but are missing stuff due to the dynamic atlas' (Redownload them):

• Backpack - Missing the transparency on the items
• Guidebook - Missing the claim button artworks and the background colouring
• Store - Missing the item exchange backgrounds
• Databank/Synthesis - Missing just a LOT of icons, really gutted this one

Mod that should be working but is misbehaving for some unknown reason:

• Ragunna City + TV - LoDs might be doing something? I think the book changes hash now so that's lost. Everything else is working but you have to run up close to actually get them mod to start. I've tried hunting for distance hashes, but that doesn't seem to be the issue.

Mods that didn't need to be fixed, but still lost some stuff (Don't need to redownload these):

• Character UIs - They lost unique colours and menu button artworks, but all of the stuff that is still moddable hasn't changed hashes or atlas' so I don't actually have to do any work fixing them, they're usable as is.

Stuff that isn't my responsibility:

• Echos - Lmao who the fuck knows, I might work on these but they might also just be a victim of the LoD issue so it might not be worth the effort
• NPCs - Definitely effected by the LoD issue, most likely fixable with stable textures but that's A LOT of mods to fix and I do not give enough of a shit to deal with that before any potential fix is released.

I've updated everything that needs to be updated, I also did the loading screen and portrait mods last night which have already been updated on GB for like 12 hours now.
