Make an item for textures?
well these days the scams like:
"I sent him the money but he didnt send the texture"
are increasing
so why not making an item like:
Texture item
and then the texture guy can upload the texture and sell it in the shop
or like safetrade the texture with the buyer
or just put it in the market and the buyer buys it
this way he can be scammed
and there would be like
512 texture ,256 so on

Realistically you'd have to remove all traditional texture upload methods for that to work, unless you physically stop people being able to sell images it'd end up like safetrade - pretty much unused.
The merging thing is over complicating things, and wouldn't work in practice - for example if I have a set, and I decide to swap out an image that'd involve fucking with a set thingy, then having that merge with my items, then leaving whatever I've switched out at risk.
The texture database isn't a terrible idea, but forcing it to be part of how you do things isn't cool. All it needs to do is keep tabs on which users had an image, and have some form of image search/matching facility to tie them together.
Shit's already over complicated for users (especially new ones), we're supposed to be making it all simpler, not more complex.
And banning people for not using a system? What? No. In that case we'd better get busy banning everyone who isn't safetrading eh?

I don't really see how uploading an image to a set item, and clicking on “activate” would make things more complicated.
but okay, point taken.

How are you?
I see where you're going, but we need to simplify everything.
The database of textures thing would be good, but given how loaded the DB is ATM it'd have to wait. Although it would rely on having some form of image matching to make the searches easier.
Uploading full sets is also something that was/should be on the todo list. We did have one but it stopped working once the higher res textures were added.
Keep on with the idea, there will be something that'll work. Just it's not a black & white situation with it. :/

I'd search the forums but alas I cannot. Years ago, back in my msquid (or msquid, long arms of the law etc.. so should have used that) days I suggested this also.
A forum for art, while acceptable, is inefficient. We need to have an area developed to have more of a gallery feel, somewhat like dA, but a lot simpler - just one main post that is seen on every page and comments underneath you can to reply to, rather than a running thread. Add some java mebbe, instead of showing flat, show a mapped rotatable texture.
Maybe have an artist license given to upload and trade textures, otherwise you can only upload your personal flats. Admins can run queries to see everything uploaded in past x time to review all uploads (I wanted that so badly.. plagiarism resulting in a ban withing a week tops and, knowing the admins, they wouldn't miss a thing)
Player shops could incorporate textures with #tags for easy searching and add a few admin spots to give a rating X/10 for quality.
I personally feel that this forum is inadequate for the art community, especially if the greenlight succeeds.
