[Help!] - Looking for a Skin mod

[Samalot]

First of all, I am sorry if this is in the wrong section. Was not quite sure where it fitted best.

 

I make videos, machinimas, I tend to work alone with my brothers account as the 'actor', which means I am constantly closing the client and changing the skins. It is probably one of the most annoying parts of filming.

 

I am looking for a way to make this easier, I am hoping that there exists a mod already that will let me change how other players look, but I am prepared to code one if I need to.

 

It does not need to change how the player looks on their screen, since I understand if both players dont have the image file, it would be difficult to pull off. So, it only needs to change how the actor looks on the cameraman's client.

 

I did find a 'closet' mod, but it has not been updated since 1.5

 

Does anyone know of any mod that will help me ? and if not, does anyone have any advice on how to make such a mod ? I have some experience with forge coding, but I am a novice.

 

I should probably mention that I am working in 1.7.2.

 

Thanks in advance!

Found a mod that does EXACTLY what I want AND MORE.

 

After slaving away for the past 24 hours trying to make my own mod to do this and getting not very far, it is so good to find a mod that achieves what I thought was going to be impossible.

Lets you choose a skin via URL, and it works SMP... it is exactly what I needed.

 

<3 Noppes, I didnt think I could like your mods any more after CustomNPCs... but this is fantastic.
