Has anyone used this program? It allows you to see all the textures saved into your sl viewer cache, and export them as usable files where you can modify and upload if you wish. I've been using it for years to make minor edits to things I've bought that were mod. Things like changing colors or in some cases fixing bad textures.
One thing I've always wondered is whether or not it's against TOS to use this program. If I was caught doing it could I be reported for copybotting? The textures are in my cache, on my hard drive, and I'm only editing things I've paid for, so I'm not stealing anything or selling anything.
Any hard infos?

I just don't ever come to the SL board and avoid the SL community as much as possible. I take it my question has a well known answer? Please share

Technically against TOS, Practically no one can enforce it. Been using it too

I remember trying to use it to pull a skin out so I could edit it but I couldn't get it to work. That's probably my fault for being dumb though.

Just don’t sell the skins you rip and you should be fine

Yeah I've been trying to use it, hardly any usable stuff though sadly I just get a ton of those red circles with x's.

Yeah, against TOS but unenforceable as long as you don't announce it.
FYI, years ago the SL cache was just a regular file directory you could just view with Windows Explorer. This was only changed because SL content creators at the time complained about how easy it was for people to do exactly what we're still doing right now because it's so easy to view the cache and there really is no way to "protect" textures and in no other gaming community does anyone bat an eye at editing textures.

You can't be caught doing it. It's just getting textures of the cache. Until you announce it yourself, there is no way for Linden Lab to know.
You can do similar things with all other games too and you can always intercept the OpenGL commands.
But other games don't give a shit, it is just SL that has to be special.
