Simple Skins Redo (skr)

This is a skin mod for MineClone2. It allows server admins to upload and configure custom player skins in the world folder instead of a mod or game folder. This is so updates to mods or games won't overwrite custom skins. Created because of the popular demand of my kids :-).

This depends on _world_folder_media and MineClone2.

First time usage

1. Enable this mod and world folder media for the world.
2. Start and stop the server so that world folder media will initialize.

Adding Textures

1. Upload custom 64x32 png texures to <my_world>/_world_folder_media/textures
2. Create or update a skins.txt file in the the <my_world> folder to configure the skins. Here's an example:

return {
  {
    texture = "kitty_mt",
    gender = "female"
  },
  {
    texture = "drowned_mt",
    gender = "male"
  },
  {
    texture = "panda1_mt",
    gender = "female"
  }
}

In texture = "name", the "name" must be the name of the texture file without the .png file extension.

Using Minecraft Skins

If you are getting MineCraft skins from somewhere like: https://www.minecraftskins.com/ you'll need to convert them into MineClone2 skins. Minecraft skins are 64x64 and MineClone2 only supports 64x32.

Download the skin texture and you can convert with ImageMagick like this:

convert minecraft_skin.png -crop 64x32+0+0 mineclone2_skin.png

Then move the MineClone2 skin to <my_world>/_world_folder_media/textures/ and add an entry in <my_world>/skins.txt.
