So yes there’s a year before release and you might think its too early to add some feedback into the development of the game as time passes. But i think this is a very good time to add feedback for blizzard to add adjustments to the game and improve it in ways that they might not have before.
Anyways, Suggestion.
Ability to make our own game textures that effect the game files such as the grass, trees, buildings, models etc and so on. like a texture pack on Minecraft.
You can already make and import textures you fool
Importing custom textures and models is very much a thing you can already do, but if you mean the ability to create a tileset (and consequently export it so others can them bulk-import the whole thing, much like, as you said, a texture pack) then, yes, that would indeed be cool to have.
That being said, creating a custom tileset and importing stuff are two different functions so the ability to have custom tilesets would be very cool to have. Importing in probably going to go the route of how Galaxy Editor handles it; you import a zip and it will import all the files it contains with respect to folder hierarchies. Probably gonna get bulk import as well.
The only thing you already can do is import your own player models to custom maps or anything with a custom map or if you make changes to the map, i meant in general. a Overhaul change of the game textures.
One can already do that by enabling local files and placing the files in the install directory… For mods the game still checks for the presence of the mod MPQ.
You can already do this, it’s called modding the game and you don’t do it through the world editor. It is not to be recommended unless you actually know what you’re doing. I recommend you stick to custom maps. Also as far as importing goes you can import literally anything into the game. Music, textures, models, scripts, data… you name it.
Yeah i can’t think of any game right now other than minecraft that gives you full control over how the game looks, and it lets you customize ur ui and so on etc.
But thats basically what im talking about.
Also sure this might give other players advantages due to being able to see more of the screen. But i think that if it comes down to it an game option in the game lobby where you can choose to allow custom Textures/UI and or not allow them,
or the maps creators can choose to use Default textures or a Specific textures that comes with the map or allow players to use custom textures of their own.
I think that also would be a good addition for streamers to have a UI that works together with their stream.
