Hello!
I had a random idea to retexture all of Roblox’s textures and make it look like an old NES game. I just wanted to see how it would look and feel. I had a question, can I get sued for this? I’m not releasing it for anything or stuff or using it for promotional purposes. So can I get sued for it?
Thank You!
where here would you get sued?
would you be stealing the textures from old NES games or would you be making them yourself?
You may get sued if the textures give you an advantage such as invisible textures.
I would be making them myself, would I be sued for messing with the textures?
I’m not doing that though, I’m not sure if there is a way you can do that.
It’s a grey area however as long as the textures don’t cheat the engine (making a head mesh texture to have a target in a PvP game, etc.) you should be okay.
I would only be changing them like you would delete the textures, so basically just painting over the actual textures.
Why in the world would you get sued for that? You won’t get sued for anything, unless you directly steal the textures. Even then, 99.9% of the time it would just get taken down. Don’t worry about it.
Thank You! I’m just a little paranoid with all the sueings going around.
If it gives a competitive advantage, it’s not allowed since having a target on players heads would let you better target players.
You wouldn’t get sued for having it in your game. It’s your game, do whatever you want.
No, you would not… You are not doing any damage to Roblox as a company, therefore, there is no reason for them to sue you.
He means changing the textures on his local device for all games.
I still don’t see why he’d get sued. If someone were to find out and do something, then warned - maybe? But sued? Not a chance.
Yes, they probably they wouldn’t sue since they aren’t publishing it, however up to an account termination can be given for this. And knowing Roblox if they warn someone for harmless images I would be unsure what they would give for tampering with the game files.
So long as the textures give you no unfair advantages in games (cheating the engine, as ab said above), and you personally retexture them yourself, I could not see you getting sued for retexturing this. So, you should be fine! Especially if you are not releasing it.
Fair point. The gray area and main area of concern here, which cheeky could get in trouble for, would be tampering/messing with the game files. That may not sit well with some ROBLOX administrators, if found out, and could result in up to an account deletion. However, I find this unlikely to happen, as they are not releasing it for anything (as they stated above).
I got warned for uploading a solid-green texture once, so it is highly likely tampering with the game files would have a strict punishment.
My friend was warned for uploading a decal called “the” with nothing on it; so I agree, you have a very fair point here. But, I still find it unlikely ROBLOX would do anything unless @cheekybones579 published it, which they are not doing. Keyword on your post: “For uploading a solid-green texture”. They are not uploading this.
I was stating that the texture was not inappropriate.
