Custom, uploadable Textures

[Surrogard]

Hi,

 

I would like to have custom textures on my ships. It would open up a big area of design possibilities and make this already awesome game even better :)

Of course the textures should be restricted in size and perhaps also amount per player (looking at servers here).

Aye custom textures and normalmaps,  but the trick would be in how the textures are actually mapped to the blocks, what axis, rotation, size etc...  Aside from this, perhaps the ability to chose among replacement textures such as non-camo, biological, steampunk, reaver, whatever (like the color picker works) would be great too.

Good point freelikegnu,

 

Perhaps it could be even made possible for modders to create texture packs which can be installed.

For easier coding it could even be restricted to a special "Texture Block" we can put on existing blocks, so that these don't need to be changed in any way. Suddenly adding custom textures to all blocks could be a programmatic nightmare depending on how it is coded until now.

a very good Idea  8) ...

normal map support for bump mapping  would be also nice  :)
