I've seen alot of people editing the textures of armor and weapons in spiral knights, and it got me thinking.
Looking at the same armor for such a long time gets old (the transition from 4* to 5* takes FOREVER if your free to play like me). So this game would be PERFECT for textur packs. It would add a certain variety to an already highly customizable game. So i ask, why has it not been implemented?
It kinda undermines Ian's job, doesn't it? Especially since the game is still in development.
Player-made texture packs have always been more of a singleplayer thing than an MMO/Multiplayer thing. You want everyone to be seeing the same thing if they're all interacting together. In SMP Minecraft, I'll get people asking what certain things are and it turns out I can't help them via text or forums since they're running some texture pack. It doesn't help how I can make an amazing looking thing and everyone else thinks it ugly because it is when rendered in a different texture pack... >_>
