A friend is trying to figure out how to put a new character (player) texture into minetest so we dont have to be the crappy ol' mage, I used to play on Redcrabs server, and it had like a One Peice style farmer boy, how do we do what he did, but a different character?

The best way, in my opinion, would be to create a texture pack, that has the player.png and player_back.png you want. But I haven't made or installed one yet, so you'll need to look up how to do it, or wait for someone else to respond.

This mod allows each player to use their own textures. All you have to do is put the textures in the texture/ folder of the mod (so the server owner has to do it) like this:

player_<player_name>.png
player_<player_name>_back.png

and the player with the name <player_name> will have this textures.

Figured it out with some messing around, I did not need a mod or anything, was easy to do since now I host the server.
