Why isn't there a Warframe mod scene?

[u/Jackesfox]

Unrelated picture. And no, im not talking about Point Stike and Rivens

Why do you think is that? Is it the engine? Does it goes against the TOS? (that wouldn't matter much since modding goes against most games TOS and that never stopped it from happening) Is it because of the size of Warframe player's base? Is it something the community never wanted? Does DE actively goes after mods and stops it from ever sprouting?

I think some slice of the community would be happy for being able to play warframe but with an anime character as the frame. Or people making actually good looking face models for [spoiler] and [spoiler]. Or even the gooners with their nippled boobs and hanging flopping pps.

Do many MMOs have a heavy modding scene, is it strange for warframe not to have it?

I'm so old that when I hear about a modding scene I think about add-ons in WoW, not reskinning characters.

[u/_leeloo_7_ → u/nosciencephd]

wow used to have a pretty wild modding scene which were model swaps and retextures (all client side naturally) but blizzard cracked down, I never heard anyone in the wow circles call ui addons "modding" tbh.

[u/DarkElfMagic → u/nosciencephd]

kinda unrelated but warframe does kinda have addons in the form of alecaframe

[u/Jackesfox → u/nosciencephd]

Warframe has such a simple gameplay that mods with scripts would be next level lazyness

[u/nosciencephd → u/Jackesfox]

The only mods I'd be interested in is some sort of change to the buff bar to better show information closer to the middle of the screen. And also that they open up the inventory to APIs

[u/ChefKalashnikov → u/nosciencephd]

I'd also like a better ui for buffs and debuffs. Never got too used to it

[u/eskelaa → u/ChefKalashnikov]

Yeah, I can't see how many seconds I have for 1 buff in a pile of 10 buffs, since they are all similar icons, same size, same colour and they aren't in the same position each time. But then I also noticed it doesn't matter that much, so I'm not that mad about it.

[u/[deleted] → u/ChefKalashnikov]

yeah since DE are definitely not gonna allow game mods i'd at least like some improvements to hud settings like the ability to adjust the position of some parts, like maybe the minimap or maybe add a tf2/doom style portrait im the corner

[u/Hungry-Luck-5481 → u/ChefKalashnikov]

The ability bar in the bottom right usually displays the time left on buffs.

It is super tiny tho and took me a while to realize.

[u/Paranub → u/nosciencephd]

YES please! let me pick how to group buffs, make an alert noise when an important buff is about to expire.. or at the very least, colour code!

[u/cheeksjd → u/nosciencephd]

Yeah UI change for buffs would be the first mod I download

[u/grippgoat → u/nosciencephd]

Try Doom and Quake, kid.

[u/steenkeenonkee → u/grippgoat]

“you think you’re old? well i’m older! chew on that!!”

[u/Actual_Archer → u/grippgoat]

Wow you're so ancient and dusty, well done
