You probably use an outdated version of this mod, because there's no more "update_from_db2.py" script in Krock's latest git.

Clone it and fix the bug (that I forgot to report) in the base64 function call of the "update_from_db.py" script:
Edit: Krock fixed it.

Then, fix your python: the "http.client" module that the scrip "update_from_db.py" uses is in the debian package "python3.2".

Thank you for your answer,
But... i don't want use the u_skin of krock, because his mod has less skins :/ (4pages vs 10 pagesin this mod)

Or, a possible merge is conceivable ?

Use the script "update_from_db.py" (still talking about Krock's fork) to fetch all the skins available at Addis's website. That's the purpose of this mod. I used it yesterday to download something like 350 skins (25 pages of skins in the game, in the unified_inventory menu).

Thank you, my u_skins DB is now updated (39 pages :D !!!)

(EDIT :
I've problems when i restarted my server => http://imgur.com/B57bga5
Indeed, i's saw 39pages when update the DB of u_skins, but only 25pages appear in-game, for the rest of the skins, i think they are in the screenshot because they can't increase the number of skins above 250 or 25 pages...
It works, but, if i can have 39pages instead of 25 for now, it's btter for the choice of players :)

Don't take the number of pages displayed by different applications as a reliable information because they don't have the same number of skins per page. Addis currently shows 30 skins per page while unified_inventory has 16 skins per page. "update_from_db.py" claims another number (39) and is probably very wrong (should report the same number as the website, 13, I think) but it downloads all of them anyway.

The script "update_from_db.py" download skins from Addis's website. Count them yourself, count the total number of skins in your unified_inventory screen ans see that they match. You have every skin available.

I don't know why you have meta data errors on so many skins. Maybe all of them. My own log is clean.

I can't reproduce this error with my forked version. Maybe you're using a mix of the original and mine.

[Minetestforfun]

Actually in my world : 389 skins, and in the Addis's website they have 389 skins...

Hi,

Is it possible to add a variable for interdict skins too small or transparent ?

on a pvp server, if we can see only the eyes and the life bar of an opponent, is a handicap...

It's not possible to read the "main color" of a texture in Lua.
Ask the server owner to delete the skin's meta.txt file to remove it.

I was wondering if you could add a tooltip of the name for each skin, instead of having to click on it to find out. If not then no big deal I just thought that would be cool. I love this mod by the way. And thank you to who ever made the .exe updater...just brilliant. :)

Thank you for the link.

There are now too many skins on his database.
It will be good to implement a new feature to display only our favourites in the list and a "skin search engine".

[Minetestforfun]

I agree it's a good idea Gael, and if we can add a feature to display/hide skin, maybe in a new file with an option true/false for each skin, it will be awesome ! :)
(because actually i need to "hide" / delete skins manually, it's not a very good method, it's boring and take time, and if i update skins database with the python script, i must renew my skins deletion...)

[Gael de Sailly]

I was thinking about an in-game filter, as for the items filter at the right of the unified_inventory formspec.
There are now 422 skins. The classic list with 16 skins per page is not convenient. So it will be awesome to implement a filter. Imagine : you can switch between whole list, filter and your favourites (the ones that you've already used, needs also a feature to be removed from this list).

I'm dreaming. But I give you ideas. I've thought about coding it myself, but I lack time, and the formspec aren't really my field.

[Minetestforfun]

im dreaming also, code these features are out of my range... But it's an awesome upgrade if it's done :)

I was on the Free Pizza Server, and one of the kids using the Android version was having a hard time using your mod, 'cuz the chat apparently over-writes the ability to change skins.

I wonder if there's a way to automatically hide the chat while the skin-change menu is open.

I would think you could simply set

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

flags.show_chat = false

The thing is, that would just hide the chat once the skin-change menu comes up,
but the show_chat wouldn't toggle back to True when you exit out of that menu.

If anyone can figure this out, that'd be great. Maybe add a button to toggle chat on/off, either on the Android GUI, or in the inventory buttons somewhere.

It's not possible to control clients to turn it off.
The only soulation for this is to add a chat on/off button for Android clients.

When running generate_previews.sh I get Blender and convert not found errors.

You don't need to run that script. It's possible to automatically download the previews from the skin database.

Try this script: https://github.com/SmallJoker/minetest- ... from_db.py
It might be incompatible with this mod version, use the newer one instead.
