[1.7.10][unsolved] Armor That Changes Skin

[Jetfan16ladd]

In my mod I want a piece of armor (chest plate) that changes the players skin. I have moderate experience with coding. I have no idea where to start or even if this is possible. If you can help me I would appreciate it.

[Awesome_Spider]

Hmm... What have you tried? Post your code so far.

[TheDogePwner]

Well, to change someone's skin, you need their Minecraft password, so you'd need a GUI to prompt for their Minecraft password. That's a start.

[shadowfacts]

No, OP is trying to temporarily change the skin on the client side, not on the Mojang servers.

 

Side note: No (sensible) person would trust a popup in MC that prompts them for their username/email and password.

[TheDogePwner]

Okay, thanks Shadow.

You might be able to use Java's ImageIO to download a skin and put it inside the directory that the user's skin is in. Not sure if this is possible, but it's an idea.

[Jetfan16ladd]

No I haven't tried yet as I have no idea where to start.

How would you do this?

LOL, totally off topic but really funny. I was looking through the Minecraft source code looking for a answer to this question when I found this in RenderPlayer:

if (p_77029_1_.getCommandSenderName().equals("deadmau5") && p_77029_1_.func_152123_o())
        {
            this.bindTexture(p_77029_1_.getLocationSkin());

            for (int j = 0; j < 2; ++j)
            {
                float f9 = p_77029_1_.prevRotationYaw + (p_77029_1_.rotationYaw - p_77029_1_.prevRotationYaw) * p_77029_2_ - (p_77029_1_.prevRenderYawOffset + (p_77029_1_.renderYawOffset - p_77029_1_.prevRenderYawOffset) * p_77029_2_);
                float f10 = p_77029_1_.prevRotationPitch + (p_77029_1_.rotationPitch - p_77029_1_.prevRotationPitch) * p_77029_2_;
                GL11.glPushMatrix();
                GL11.glRotatef(f9, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);
                GL11.glRotatef(f10, 1.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F);
                GL11.glTranslatef(0.375F * (float)(j * 2 - 1), 0.0F, 0.0F);
                GL11.glTranslatef(0.0F, -0.375F, 0.0F);
                GL11.glRotatef(-f10, 1.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F);
                GL11.glRotatef(-f9, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);
                f2 = 1.3333334F;
                GL11.glScalef(f2, f2, f2);
                this.modelBipedMain.renderEars(0.0625F);
                GL11.glPopMatrix();
            }

 

It puts ears on any player named "deadmau5".

[Awesome_Spider]

Haven't found anything yet, but I'll keep looking.

[Awesome_Spider]

Again off topic, but whats with the obsession with deadmau5.

/**
     * renders the ears (specifically, deadmau5's)
     */
    public void renderEars(float p_78110_1_)
    {
        this.bipedEars.rotateAngleY = this.bipedHead.rotateAngleY;
        this.bipedEars.rotateAngleX = this.bipedHead.rotateAngleX;
        this.bipedEars.rotationPointX = 0.0F;
        this.bipedEars.rotationPointY = 0.0F;
        this.bipedEars.render(p_78110_1_);
    }

Idk if it's possible, but there is a SkinManager field in Minecraft's main class you could try. I don't know what the name is, most of the names of Minecraft source are appearing as "field_123456_a" and similar since I moved my code to another computer. Huh, weird.

[Jetfan16ladd]

I know it is possible to morph players. Is there a way to use a method that those mods do as it is pretty much the same thing.

[Awesome_Spider]

To morph players? That would be RenderPlayerEvent (I think). There is Pre and Post within the class so you'll have to experiment.

[memcallen]

You could try and replace the player model, kind of like the morph mod when you kill another player. (I have no idea how this would work though)

[Jetfan16ladd]

Idk how to render the players model but I will try to do so with a tick handler so it knows when the player is wearing the armor.

[Jetfan16ladd]

I'm completely lost, but what i'm trying to do it make it so your skin changes when you wear certain armor. I want this because armor looks too blocks and doesn't cover your hands and over places. Also then you don't need to have 4 armor pieces.

[Jetfan16ladd]

I will try to make a armor model now.
