	This new mechanism simplifies sharing custom textures and models with other players. The old method of implementing these files was to apply an AFP patch to <code>ItemTextureEP4.afs</code> or <code>ItemModelEP4.afs</code> using AFS Manager or another tool to open and modify AFS files.

	The motivation for these changes was to provide fixes for some vanilla textures that have cache collisions. A cache collision occurs when the "PSO ID" in the texture .dds or .xvr matches another texture. ~~PSOBB~~ considers these as the same texture and will use only the first one loaded.

			Some custom HUDs modify the texturejapanese.xvm file because this file has the images for the numbers and letters used by the HUD. However, this file is a localized asset and the Ephinea launcher will download it when the launcher is set to English or Japanese in the top right corner.

			If texturejapanese.xvm is the reason a player is using Custom as their selected launcher language, the file can be placed in the custom folder and the client will load it. The launcher language can be reverted back to English or Japanese in this case.
