Hello! Just wondered something - In Minecraft, they have like special capes. Can we re create that on Minetest?

If you adjust the player model, sure.

So, it is possible then, but how do I do it?

Get Blender, then re-export the model, with all animations, as .x, making sure you have textured it, then make a new skin for Sam that includes the cape.This will probably break compatability with every other skin.

Not if you use multiple textures / UV maps; IIRC this feature has been merged some time ago.

Wouldn't it possible to have a Player model with a Cape already attached and animated, but with two defferant textures. The Player model only will have .PNG for itself, and the cape will have its own .PNG which perhaps mods be made to change it from a .PNG with no pixels (Invisible=no cape) to a .PNG with a cape design.

I tried to explain it in the most convoluted way possible.

Yes, that would be possible

That could be well extended to include about every other wearable item. However, won't this make the model 'heavy'?

Blender? A offline downloadable program? I could always like make a cape "skin" for the player skin, and changeable in the game. What I mean by this is making a implemented cape in the skin (First Try), then after, make it stand out (Second Try), then, Make it move (Third Try).

Ya, that. The current character does not have a cape part built in. You'll have to make that!

I can do this in a day. Honest. Also with animation.

I think Pavel_S would be a better choice, Jordach could be the prince

If you have been paying attention to his random blender renders topic and irc, I believe you would think otherwise. :P

Pavel's models don't have a flexible chest, improved bendy arms.

No to mention a (nearly) working mouth.

EDIT: Using space in the skin, it is possible without using two skins.

Not gonna stop ya. :)

My clothes mod more or less stalled, in part because I suck with models. I didn't want to break the skins, either.

Yes, they are possible:

I just need to animate and we're away!!

Hint, hint.

No compatabillty breaking! YAY! Amazing job Jordach!

Works just like a hat layer.

EDIT: https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/pull/201

It includes a capeless Sam II, W007!

No, it can't be a mod. The cape is built into the player model, so it can't be made with a mod. It will also be pointless if his pull request is merged.

I can take some skins mod code, and do like a cape changer?

Rhys wrote:I can take some skins mod code, and do like a cape changer?

In the way Jordach did it, the capes are a part of the skin, so there is no changing the capes via mods. (unless the mod retextures the player skin)

See this part of the skin:

You see that red section, that creates a cape when used with my cape model.

Yo, extend the cape a bit.

A) It's the same size of the Minecraft cape.
B) Fuck no, then I will REALLY NEED a SECOND texture.

Wut? Ofc you can make a capes mod based on that pull request. Actually its kinda easy...

EDIT: here a short video of the player with cape, added by simple testing mod

The way the 3d_armor mod adds armor should work for adding capes, right?

Thats exactly what I mean! Skins can change skins... That skin with the cape is a skin. So, if I just take the init from skins, and add some new cape skins... there you go!
