i think that we should be able to buy a camo or paint for our weapons. maybe like a pink skin for the Leviathon blade and so on... a red skin for the brandish etc.

Maybe a bit like the Guardian Knight Arkus' sword, if your thinking of the Leviathon blade (a skin for the sword: Leviathon Blade).

I really think that this would be a good idea. maybe buy them in at the supply depot etc.
plz help get this into the game it would be so cool!

So what if I disguise my combuster into a green / blue color and use it to troll the party mates in C42?

no, you should paint polaris white and troll LDers.
no, you should paint neutralizer green and go trolling in a devilite level.
no, you should paint two alchemers red, then do alchemer switching with them.
no, you should paint GF like DA and go curse somebody.
no, you should paint heavy deconstructor white, and go into a gremlin level.
no, you should paint an FF into an FF and see what happens. no, they are two different weapons.
this would get wrong sooooo fast.

Well maybe if it were something small like changing Divine Avenger's blue ribbon to a green one. Or maybe adding a glow to the brandish line swords to make Glacius look colder/ Acheron look deadlier....

Pretty sure something could go wrong even with that though. You might be better off thinking of a whole new weapon for OOO

We already have this. Our PC modifys our Battle Sprites, and I bet that yoou can't say they aren't weapons.

my thoughts

If you want to change it for your personal preference:

Locate the Spiral Knights data folder on your comp and find the skins for the weapons. (I believe I saw one at least for brandish and GF)
Make a copy of their image file and edit it to suit your preference (just keep the parameters the same).
Rename the original image by adding a number to the end.
Move your modified image into the file and change the name to that of the original image.
Start Spiral Knights and see how it looks.
Tweak until you are satisfied.

If you want people online to see it...yeah GL petitioning OOO.

don't say that on the forums, it's against the ToS.

lol ToS

If the game was designed well enough, there's nothing someone can do on the client side that will affect actual multiplayer gameplay. I'm pretty sure the ToS is just making the disclaimer so you don't hold them responsible if you mess up the game. They can't tell you what you can or cannot do to files on your computer as long as the server-side of the game is not affected.

So you're laughing at the ToS?

And they can track to see if you modified the files or not.

@Skyguarder

Then I respectfully ask them what part of the ToS I violated and what is the reasoning for my ban.
This is assuming they want to go through the effort to track down a guy who may be using a public internet connection just because he modified a file that has no ramifications whatsoever on the actual gameplay going on in the server.

Edit: You realize the image mod will only affect images displayed on YOUR computer screen right? Everyone else would see it normally.
