open MT-Skin Database

[Esteban]

Whilst changing my avatar I got bored and mad a player design in gimp, I settled on a new avatar and tried to upload these images
to http://minetest.fensta.bplaced.net/ It will not upload the texture. Is there any way to fix this.

I think I found the problem, It seems the page only accepts skins with the size of 64 x 32 pixels.
I tried uploading my 256 x 128 pixels skin and this happened:



And as you can see Im using Firefox and I get the same problem.

yes, thats right, currently there is only 64x32 images allowed. since i made the database, minetest had some ugly bugs using bigger and smaller skin files.
but they are now fixed, so i think i can work on adding support for other resolutions, it may take some time, because most functions written statical to the 64x32 skins. that ones must all rewritten.

but for now, I corrected the error message and added an information before upload about that.

[ Edit: I had a problem with the skins Database, but I force enabled Webgl and its working perfectly again.
My bad! I forgot to force enable Webgl when I re-installed my OS and browser and so on.]


I think MC may have changed the skin UVs for the bottom of the head .
I used to test my skins by previewing them in "Skincraft"
and sometimes the bottom of the head is turned the wrong way round ( back to front)
if you download one of my skins and that has happened please let me know.

[Inocudom]

This will affect all of us sooner or later:

Quit worrying about that, I've got you covered.

When 1.8 styles get 95% adoption I'll produce a pull for MTG and other games that use player_textures and such.

Jordach did indeed accomplish this feat, addi. He can tell you more about it.

Great, that you could solve it. normaly if it fails to init the WebGL it should fallback to Adobe Flash, but it seems this is also broken.
But its nice to hear, that the force WebGL solves it.

The Skin Database displayes it like minetest would it do (stable 0.4.9 or o.4.10? dont know currently) this includes the Cape, the bug with Rotatet Left, and Right leg, and the the bug with the wrong turend head bottom.

I think ill only apply this feature into the skin DB if this get applied into minetest Game, (Just because its a Minetest Skin Db (There are enough MC skin DBs)).
but imo its the wrong way, diffrent layers are great, but use it in a single texture file is stupid, so you just have bigger files, and its also statical.
better woud it bee one file for the skin, and another file (or files) for the clothes. then, it would be more dynamical and clothes can easier changed by mods.
also imo Mintest should go its own way and do not steal ideas from MC.
another point is, that the 1.8 skin breaks the capes wich is a minetest only feature.

I totally agree with you! The 1.8 skin system is interesting, but it breaks our original feature of capes (Which is my favorite thing!). If minecraft adds something, minetest doesn't have to add the same feature...
Edit:typos :P

[philipbenr]

I agree. We should go our own way with skins. but have compatibility for old ones too.

[addi]

phuh! im realy relieved that iam not alone in the world with my mind.

[Krock]

I'm against MC-like skins in Minetest.
We should keep it as it currently is. Simple and easy.

[Misty]

how do I add the cape to my player skins, is there a UV template that includes the cape already available to download somewhere?

You have to edit the skin:

Anyone can tell me how these texture maps are made?

[Esteban]

Addi, can you fix the license of the last uploaded skin made by me? Is supposed to be CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, not CC BY-SA 4.0.
Thanks in advance

I think the easiest way to create your own skin is to download an existing one and just change it with your favourite image editing program.

I meant those titles and grid:

[philipbenr]

That is the left plane of the head, and the headwear is what is drawn on another surface surrounding the head itself. The rest is pretty explanatory.

[Sol]

Uh-oh. I meant: is there an automated way to create the grid or it was manually created in a graphics editor.

[Evergreen]

Uh-oh. I meant: is there an automated way to create the grid or it was manually created in a graphics editor.

Someone just edited it so it would be easier to see which part of the texture corresponds to given body part.

[philipbenr]

Ohhh... Well, anyhow, In minetest_game, mods, default, models, there is the image character.png. You can copy it and do work on it whenever...

Also, the other person probably just scaled it up and wrote those on it.

its the buggy flash fallback. it happens when the browser does not support webGl. so it switches to adobe flash.

i firefox you can force enable it

here is a kb article for firefox user how to enable wbgl:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/up ... celeration

you can also force enable it in firefox in order to get it work:
type into the address bar about:config and search for webgl.force-enabled
if you found it turn it to true by a double click.

some searching about webGl and chromium aka chrome took out, that it uses a blacklist, nativly written into sourcecode. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/code ... st_json.cc

also found an wiki entry saying wich grafic cards are suportet, and wich not.

also found that article, dont know if that works for chromium too, but here you can point out why webgl is disabled in chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1220892 (maybe only aviable in german)

What are the Requirements to run this off an site?

I have an MySQL already just not sure what else. ans Don't know will work with got.

[srifqi]

addi, why not use canvas renderer? AFAIK x3dom supports canvas renderer.

addi, why not use canvas renderer? AFAIK x3dom supports canvas renderer.

it uses the canvas renderer by default, but if it is not aviable (old grafic-drivers, blacklistet, etc.), it falls back to flash.
so it should display somethin on all browsers, but the flash fallback does not support transparency, so the head is black.
i using the flash falback because its imo better than just show an error message.

im not shure if i understand you correctly, but if you want to use your own skin DB on your own server, you require a server with php and MySql.
in 2-3 days may i give you a detailed instruction how to set up, if you need it.

if you only want a page, that displays the skins from this DB, you may need the code in attachment (its an indev not public version maybe buggy), this does only requiere a html browser. just open the index.html file

btw: merry Christmas @ all :-)

[TG-MyinaWD]

Yeah, I can run php no problem.
But I plan host an MT Skin Database just don't know how install it and, don't know if run off a subdomain. Well Like "example.yourdomain.tld" Anyway I to wondering if possible to have like import.*.* as the upload subdomain and have gallery.*.* To see the skins and can search though the MySQL Database.

And, a Marry Christmas to you all to.

Hey there addi I mange to install it to my website XD now All I need help is on getting the Licences system to work.

And that should be all need I think.
But yeah what me know so as you can, on how get the Licences tab to work since it showing no Licences.

oh sorry i totally forgott about it.
the licenses are also in a mysql table contains the id, the name, the link, and the imagelink wich is displayed in the list.
the User Interface gets that table with JSON and inserting it into the dropdown menu.

use the following MySql command to create the table and insert the licenses:

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

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mt_skins_licenses` (
  `id` tinyint(4) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `url` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `text` text NOT NULL,
  `imgurl` varchar(255) NOT NULL COMMENT 'url of image displayed in the db',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='the list of possible licenses' AUTO_INCREMENT=8 ;

Thanks working fine! now I only have on Question left to ask. where is the max byte size upload, part at? since I can't upload my skin on mine but can on yours. and it is 15kb. so I was wondering where can I change it to 50kb? thanks again too.

Edit: Oh and also am I suppose to set the Engine to something for the MySQL? or do MySQL use InnoDB?
And also I tried to uploading an skin wasn't to big like only 2kb and when I hit the upload button it just sits there and don't upload so idk if due I am missing something or the upload fiction is disable.. but I am using the code from the first post so idk if I suppose or not.
