Thanks!

Is there a chance we can replace player meshes at the same time? 'twould be useful in some cases.

That would be quite useful for a skin I was trying to make the other day. I needed to make the arms different than each other, but that is impossible with the current mesh.

Or course, more complex things would also be possible.

It would be nice if future versions of minetest could support models like those from The Sims 2 in addition to what is already available. Is it possible to add a window that allows the player to see what he/she looks like in the chosen skin?

when i set a texture pack the texture for the character is overrides the texture i set

Pull request: https://github.com/Zeg9/minetest-skins/pull/2

The skin file keeps getting save when anyone logs in. That was a bit of a pain when I was having to hand edit the file.

Also, skin #1 is the same one as in default, but by a different name. That seems pointless.

This pull request fixes both issues, as well as fixes the skin numbering to index from zero. The numbers had to be changed to avoid having a skin #2 without a skin #1 (as skin one was removed) anyway, so I numbered them correctly this time.

As a side note, if I understand Jojoa1997's issue, it was caused by the redundancy that this pull request fixes.

AWESOME IM TOTALLY GETTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome mod. Thank you. But, I have a problem. When another texture touches me I get that texture stuck "in" me. Only on modded textures though (mob, fruit, etc.) Any suggestions?


Also in reply to everyone who says "where can I get skins?" Go to http://www.kongregate.com/games/theswain/skincraft?acomplete=skincr And make your own skin! :) Save as a .png and put it in the minetest/mods/minetest/skins folder with the name "character_#" ----No quotes and replace # with the next highest number in the folder.

Also rename the file to to just "skins"---No quotes. I had a problem with it until I renamed the folder.

I don't really understand what you mean. Does your player texture become the one of the thing you touch?
If not, please attach a screenshot or something so I can see better.

They get stuck in my chest. Visible to other players. I had a few sheep (simple mobs mod) and apples, pear, and oranges (fruit mod) stuck in my texture all at once. The sheep kept hurting me so I have to play with damage off. I have since removed those mods, but now other ones are getting stuck "in" my girlfriend and me. The cart from the carts mod does it badly.

The bug you're experiencing has since been fixed - please try 0.4.5 and see if the problem persists.

This mod seems to be partly broken with the latest stable release of minetest (0.4.5)

Skins are being overrided by the default. I am guessing update_player_visuals() from default/player.lua is being called after this mod loads.

You could use minetest.after in register_on_joinplayer like I do in my 3d_armor mod but please use less than 1 second to retain compatibillity with my mod. eg:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

    minetest.after(0.5, function(player)
        skins.update_player_skin(player)
    end, player)


[Zeg9]

Updated: now you see 3D skins previews generated by blender. stu, this should be fixed by adding "default" to depends.txt. It works fine on my git server.

How do I make this work?

Put the extracted files in you /minetest/mods/minetest folder, rename to "skins" without the "", and launch the game. You need Inventory plus installed also for it to work.

Thanks...
ANd Really I don't enter "" if someone use them for something. since really "" Has a Null Use.

Most people know not to use "" but some people think that you do use them. "skins" doesn't work skins does.

[Likwid H-Craft]

I know, but like I sayed it a Null use for somethings...
Anyways Say hello to, Character and CSS.

Do you know of the 2D skin that used to be found on Redcrab's server (the one the statue at spawn is of.) Could you add it to this mod? Could you also add the 2D skin that is of Cisoun? Also, the mod could use more 3D female skins.

I did manage to find a few skins in the forums that might be useful additions to this mod.
http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=920-3D Cookie Monster Skin
http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=1105-DevilXkid1's Custom Skin (could be a basis for a 3D skin)
http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=1126-Super Hero Skins (could be a basis for a 3D skin)
http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=1300-3D Nyan Cat Texture
http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=1020-Various Textures Here (could make good future 3D skins)

Redcrab's skin: I would like to but I don't remember where it can be downloaded. I'll try to find it back...
Cisoun's: I'll add it soon.
Female skins: I can't find any on the forum.

[Inocudom]

Jordach created some new 3D skins. The link to them is below.

Did you succeed at adding Cisoun's 2D skin yet? Concerning Redcrab's 2D skin, you might have to ask Redcrab for it.
