Copying a file from one section of Roblox LocalAppData folder to another: is it allowed?

Hello!

I’ve recently made an explorer system for in-game use, which uses Roblox’s actual explorer icons. While this works in Studio, in-game the icons don’t load, which I suspect is due to rbxasset:// pointing to different file locations within each.

I found out I can copy the studio_svg_textures folder from one section of the LocalAppData folder to another, and this makes them accessible within the Roblox game and not just Studio. I heard modifying client files is against ToS, so I don’t know if I’m allowed to.

At one point, the Roblox Studio AI assistant gave me a link to somewhere on create.roblox.com which returned the legacy icon for the Script instance. If this is against ToS, and anyone has any idea where I could find asset icons on the Roblox website, I would appreciate it.

Otherwise, I’ll just copy the icons over to another section of the LocalAppData folder.

Any help is appreciated!

The change is only visible to your client; everyone else will see something different unless they do the same thing.

I’m aware, that’s not what I was asking.

I just wanted to know if it was against Roblox TOS or if there was a different set of icons I could access that already exist outside of an icon pack.

You’ll only be breaking the ToS if you modify the Roblox Player client itself or use this to break the ToS in some other way.

In your case, what you’re doing isn’t against the ToS.

I thought that might be the case. I’ll do a little more research just in case.
