My next milestone I reached, but not in master because of other projects dependencies at the time:

The character_creator is now usable with the skinsdb in parallel. The mod attach a skin to the skins list (in sfinv + smart_inventory), if the skin is selected the creator formspec appears. For unified_inventory the "Skin" does not appear in the list, but an own cc-inventory button already exists. The skinsdb and character_creator does working proper together with this change in unified_inventory too.

The character_creator does not provide any skin preview so the existing "Button" picture is used, that looks strange especially in Armor preview at the time.

If anyone like to test the development, the next updates needed:
3d_armor - if used - with https://github.com/stujones11/minetest- ... r/pull/110
skinsdb - https://github.com/bell07/minetest-skin ... or_support - will be merged to master after the 3d_armor change
character_creator - https://github.com/bell07/character_cre ... pr_skinsdb - the enhancement, will be proposed as PR after skinsdb changes are in master
smart_inventory - if used - as of today or later in master
sfinv or unified_inventory - if used - current stable

• Would you consider a wardrobe node that has to be crafted and placed by players in order to access the skin switching feature (preferrably looking like the sfinv version of the formspec), or is this out of scope?
• Would you consider an opt-in feature that assigns every new player a random skin instead of having everyone being skinned as Sam?

bell07 wrote:By the way, any idea how the wardrobe could be integrated to the skinsdb?
1. if wardrobe found - disable the inventory selection and use the wardrobe selection for skinsdb skins (including private player skins and character_creator - wardrobe enhancement for skins preview required)
2. Both should work together independently but the skinsdb should know the wardrobe skins as valid
3. Wardrobe and inventory should share the same skins collected from both mods?
4. ???

minetest.register_on_newplayer(function(player)
	local skinlist = skins.get_skinlist()
	local randomskin = skinlist[math.random(#skinlist)]
	skins.set_player_skin(player, randomskin)
end)

• renaming character_1.png to character.png and character_1_preview.png to character_preview.png, so that texture packs that overwrites the default character skin also overrides this skin.
• that the pagination only shows when there's several pages of skins available

Which versions do you use?
Minetest / minetest_game - 0.4.16 ?
3d_armor? Latest stable is 0.4.9, but I use the git-version. So if 0.4.9 does not work, try the git/master version.
skinsdb? It is rolling release so please update to the last git/master version

Which Skins do you use?
Please let me know if updating the mods solves your issue. If updating does not help, look to the debug.txt and provide the error messages about not loaded textures.
