Well, he's saying it's essentially going to break the game if you install it, so why wouldn't they take steps to prevent it? They're proud of their work and they want people to experience it as it was intended. But there's nothing stopping you from putting all the upscaled textures in you want.
Yeah, but I'm not gonna pretend I could do as good a job as they did with the HD Mod remaster of T2X.
I was more mentioning it to make a point, i.e that they can't stop individuals from installing textures, so why do they think they can control HD texture mod releases?
"That kind of control is an illusion" -JLP

This mikjames guy reeks of "tell me you're a troll without telling me you're a troll" meme-stench.
Look, mod the campaign however you want. But don't pretend that doing so is somehow respectful, or that the authors owe you a convenient avenue to override their art direction choices.

I'll just mention that it's the second time someone told us to "get a life". Also, yes, we like to have arbitrary control over something that took 7 bloody years to make.

And I'm trying to figure out why you think that control is real?
It's a fan mission campaign, it's not like you hold the copyrights on "The Black Parade".
If someone wants to make a mod of a mod, there isn't much you could do to stop them.

The only one who seems to blow a gasket over nothing is you, but hey if you want to mod The Black Parade then go ahead, but expect many technical problems. This is another reason why we went out of our way to make sure these mods don't work out of the box, so you don't get missing texture slots, incorrect collisions, insanely bad framerate or even crashes.

wtf did I just read...I 'm sorry but it's so nonsensical I can't help but find this hilariously funny xD
...And I am usually one that do slaps graphic mods (custom ones at that) onto fms..
I feel so sorry for those who brought us such a gem of a campaign who read this...wtf
Even the shadow issue isn't related to the textures...like..check your game config maybe ?

wtf.. control, seriously ? xD
I swear you are breaking my poor mind...
How about respect for others work ?
But right, shame them for making sure you wouldn't play a broken game trying to use a mod that was never intended for it, making sure that everything looks and works the way it should..this is so insane.
And do I really need to mention consent ? Because it actually apply a lot with "mods of mods"as you put it, people usually ensure og creators consent before releasing a mod, if they are decent human being..because..you know, respect for others work.
I mean I am not even a big fan of low res textures and low poly characters myself...but making such a weird rant about it.."get a life" yourself seriously.
And even if that's not my thing, I can still appreciate how well crafted the visuals are (and the reasoning behind it), the aesthetic, ambiance, and it has so much more to bring than just that even..shame you can't see it on your "fancy" screen..

As soon I saw the title of this thread, I knew it would be a show. Should have made popcorn.
