Awesome, and they said it was not possible in Lua...

Do you have any screen shots?

Its just the default player textures.

WINNING!

As in, how the player look to other players, like this: http://krisi12345.lima-city.de/Screen-Pics/3D-Player.png

Screenshots added.

Could this be used to set different textures for each player on the server, or do they all have to be the same?

Nice idea, I will test it.

But its not compatible with this mod.

This is a good idea, until my 3D models code will be ready. Hope all important servers will install it in the meantime, the fully flat players are weird :P

It would work if you defined a nodebox for each player texture.

• Offer 2,3,4 or so textures, define nodeboxes for all
• Use chat commands (ie /settexture 1), or special blocks they can punch to allow player to select texture
• Save the name or number of the texture they selected to file
• When they log in get the texture they selected from file
• set their texture to appropriate nodebox

You know that I worked 30 mins. on this nodebox?

That's a big time investment

do this for your mobs, maybe, please?

Maybe...

Yes, please do this for mobs! Sheep are not meant to be flat...

rats bug me more...

This look's cool! great job PilzAdam. I thought i could only be made in c++ how did you make it in lua?

Nice Mod!
You could make real 3d players with this

With the same "wielditem" hack as for animals. You can use player:set_object_proberties() to change the visuals of the player (somehow like Lua entities).

Without animation...

Do you have another texture ??

breinzter11 wrote:Do you have another texture ??

With other textures you have to change the nodebox. Its easy (but very time intensive) so you can do it yourself. Go to the init.lua and put a 1 in the 2D table at the top for every pixel that is not transparent and a 0 for transparent pixels.

i got error

This post is not very useful. Try to give more information.

PilzAdam,
I was working on multiple textures for your 3d players. I noticed the player texture is 'squished' from 32x64 to 32x32. How would I use a 32x64 texture? I setup a couple different textures, setting up the 2d table pixel for pixel (32x64) that had odd results, so I made the textures 32x32 but they lose any detail once they are stretched in game. With this method am I stuck using 32x32 textures and having the game stretch them?

The code first creates a node that has the texture and the nodebox and then a entity that has drawtype "wielditem" and is set to the node.
A node needs square textures so I resized the 16x32 texture to 32x32. You should also choose the higher width/height to not loose pixels. The table for the nodebox has to be done for this resized texture.
If you use higher resolutions you may have to change some other parts of the code.
Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

Ok I think I know what I did wrong now. Thank you.

can you make 2 other nodeboxes, the same but with the legs and arms moved a little forward? Then when pos is changing, swap the nodeboxes so it looks like walking is animated.

Would it be possible to have animations to the 3d player? for example a turning head.
