Unified Skins
This is an updated fork of dmonty's u_skins mod.

BRAIIINS! -- turn into a monster whenever you want!

Some changes:

Removed 2D-skins
Code cleanups/rewrites
A .NET updater for Winblows users (source code also avalable)
Save the last visited page (already existed before, didn't work how it should)
Jump from last page to first and back - faster skin switch
Remove the skin preview generator, download them instead
Fixed some bugs when special letters were used in the meta
Eliminated minetest.deserialize() from the code (bad decision)

Okay.
Fixed them.

You were successful in fixing the errors, but I don't know how to get the extra skins.

The README, you did not read wrote:To download the latest skins you need to run:
"./update_from_db.py" OR
the win32.NET client

Yes, player_textures was removed from Carbone at the time.

3d_armor and wieldview probably don't support your skins mod.

Looks like there are mod conflicts here.

Krock, would you be able to post this mod in the forums of Freeminer? If you do, you will have to post a link to the unified_inventory mod.

Minetestforfun's post in the old u_skins thread made me remember about this fix in the script "update_from_db.py": the base64 functions need bytes, not strings.

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: diff --git a/update_from_db.py b/update_from_db.py index 123b200..2aefcf7 100755 --- a/update_from_db.py +++ b/update_from_db.py @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ def addpage(page): pages = int(l["pages"]) for s in l["skins"]: f = open(skinsdir + "character_" + str(i) + ".png", "wb") - f.write(base64.b64decode(s["img"])) + f.write(base64.b64decode(bytes(s["img"], 'utf-8'))) f.close() f = open(metadir + "character_" + str(i) + ".txt", "w") f.write(str(s["name"]) + '\n')

Thank you!
Fix error in update script [untested]

You REALLY need to replace StandardError with something else, like Exception.
From http://www.diveintopython3.net/porting- ... ndarderror (but there are many many other sources for this) :

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: In Python 2, StandardError was the base class for all built-in exceptions other than StopIteration, GeneratorExit, KeyboardInterrupt, and SystemExit. In Python 3, StandardError has been eliminated; use Exception instead.

However, even with that fix applied, I keep getting the following error at random moments in the download process:

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: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./update_from_db.py", line 58, in <module> addpage(p+2) File "./update_from_db.py", line 25, in addpage data = r.read().decode() AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'read'

I have never succesfully downloaded all the skins, it has ALWAYS exited with an error. Did nobody ever catch this?

I never got this error when I tested it. (two months ago)

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: except Exception: if r != 0: if r.status != 200: print("Error", r.status) exit(r.status) data = r.read()

Seems like r is 0 because all other would result in an error message.
I tried to fix it but can't test it right now.

This persistent failure to successfully download the skins has led to me writing a bash script of my own. And that one works flawlessly for me.
You have already added my script on Github, so if anyone has a similar issue, they should either update the mod, or download the archive and re-install. :-)

Hi,

I am looking for christmas skins for my players...
Please, somebody can share his christmas/santa skins with us ? :D

(For the moment, you don't have christmas/santa skins in the DB of u_skins...)

Ive have tried to run it but it says folder meta not found. "Meta" Is very much there. please help.

That directory must be called "meta", not "Meta". Windows can handle those but not Linux.
If renaming the directory does not solve the problem:
- Do you have the newest u_skins version?
- Which updater are you using?

Can you add this skin?: http://minetest.fensta.bplaced.net/#name=Lukester

BlockMen wrote:Notice: This only works for singleplayer, because you cant change the hand for each player...

Well I can't change that. A better soulation is using the model directly as hand.
Currently, it's just a texture which looks like a "hand".

I tried "simple_skins" with "u_skins" with and without the "erwin.maximilian => simple_skin-unified_invetory.patch.gz" but it doesn't work at all...

Somebody has already coded a compatibility code ? or a merged mod of this two mods ? or maybe can code it ?

In my server we need both mods because "u_skins" is a pretty good skin database but, it's a very bad mod if you want to add skins from players creation, the "u_skins" mod need many precautions and modifications to make this possible... (it's long and not very made for that, i supposed)
While, the "simple_skins" mod is just perfect for this weak point of "u_skins", with this mod we can easily add mods from players creation without touch the "u_skins" mod wich means we can update the "u_skins" without fear :)

"u_skins" mod link : viewtopic.php?t=9807
"simple_skins" mod link : viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9100

Thank you in advance for your answers !

Sorry but I can't do more than this:
https://github.com/SmallJoker/minetest- ... ommit/e762

There might be texture name conflicts, I can not solve them without renaming all player textures.

Posted: **Sat Apr 11, 2015 20:30**

Thank you Krock, i think it will be a great solution, we are trying this solution right now.

For the name conflicts, don't worry, our "simple_skins" mod is empty because we fill it with players creation skins

(EDIT : Finally we code our own solution wich need only the mod "u_skins" https://github.com/Ombridride/minetest- ... 70786d298e it's an early release, so it's not over but, we are in the good way)
