Good morning,
I'm a well known modder in Syphon Filter Communities (my usernames is Sal_89, or better known as Taser God in Syphon Filter Discord Servers). I'm wondering, are game MODs that of course DON'T alter game progress allowed? I made in particular two MODs that don't alter the game progress:
- Codename changer: with this MOD you can be Python, Viper or Dragon. Only text strings and audios are changed to match the changes
- Enhanced: with this MOD you can have all features of the NTSC USA version into PAL version. The base game is the NTSC USA, but the language is changed to any of the other non-English PAL languages.
Greetings, Seban

I don't think those are a problem because they don't give any speed advantage I could think of. Codename only effects post game scene where it says you codename so that doesn't matter. Also, the same thing would happen when playing multi so I don't see why not. The language change Is fine also because any difference would just be because of the versions used and not the language. At least I don't think there are any dialogue checks in this game. Even if there was it would just make players use the language to their advantage. Just like every other speedrun game.
