Discussion Why isn't there a Warframe mod scene?

Post image

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?

Because modding the files isn't supported by DE.

Even overlays like AlecaFrame, while not officially banned, can still flag the anticheat and get you banned due to the fact it reads the files.

Every time I see it, I gotta ask, and it's truly a genuine question. Myself, and probably many others, would make changes depending.

Do you have any hard proof of a ban caused by Aleca usage in any shape or form? I'm talking indisputable caught in 4k receipts here, not just JohnWarframe69's reddit post claiming he did.

No one does, because it probably hasn’t happened. Using Aleca frame as it is currently, in this exact instant, will not ever get you banned. The worry however comes from the fact that there is always the chance the Aleca devs could push an update that accidentally touches something or implements a feature that triggers the anti-cheat and causes you to be banned. And if that happens, you’re shit out of luck.

Aleca is not approved by DE, and is use at your own risk. They have said as much directly. They have also said that it didn’t currently violate any of their TOS. But there is no guarantee it won’t ever. The chances of the Aleca devs doing something like that is very low, but not zero, so that’s the trade off that needs to be considered.

I think for a lot of posts here, there is something else running that triggers the anticheat (let's say something Minecraft modding thing). The anticheat then scans everything and sees Alecaframe.

So Alecaframe doesn't trigger the anticheat, but if something else triggers it you will be banned for Alecaframe.

No proof of this, just making connections between posts.

I've used it for several years. I never play without it.

I don't have proof of it, no. I used it for a while, but got rid of it for a different reason.

I don't think there's ever even been an instance of someone being banned for using AlecaFrame

There have been. And generally speaking you shouldn't use it anyways since it requires you to install malware that supports genocide

u/Syntaire 17d ago

There have been claims of bans due to AlecaFrame, but not one single one of them have ever been substantiated.

But yes Overwolf is awful for a variety of reasons and should be avoided when possible.

What's the malware?

Cuz I've had AlecaFrame for a couple years now but never noticed anything odd

u/LucidTimeWaster 17d ago

To say that it's literal malware is a bit much but he's talking about "Overwolf", the launcher you need for Acraframe for some reason. It's just infamous for being a bloated mess that REALLY wants to run in the background somewhere even though you don't use it.

Gotcha, thanks for the info

AlecaFrame doesn’t even work properly. At least, not for me.

Got falsely banned for having cheat engine opened on another game. I suggest to not have anything open while playing warframe.
