[request] Skin interface in main menu

by Ish » Post

Hi,
today I thought to myself, we need an tab when you open
up the Minetest main menu, which shows you a couple of default skins,
also featuring a button where you can upload your own skins.
I don't think this would be hard to do, as it would require a (client side?) mod at first,
but in the next major Minetest update it would be coded into minetest_game, with a
folder called something like "/minetest/skins/"

Hello!
CSM (Client Side Modding/Mods) are only loaded in-game and main menu modding
is not planned (yet?). However, this could be realised with a CSM and SSM in combination.
With the upcoming mod channels it would be possible to upload skins to the server, if they support it.
Without uploading, other players would not see your skin, which isn't helpful.
Receiving new media in-game from the server is yet not implemented, a server restart
is required to reload the media "list" which gets sent to joining players.
Look, I programmed a bug for you. >> Mod Search Engine << - Mods by Krock - DuckDuckGo mod search bang: !mtmod <keyword here>
