Mesh and texture are now called "character" instead of "player" to fix the conflict discussed above. I also removed the bent limbs and made them whole boxes, since I didn't like how those deformations looked like. Now there's a good reason to be accused of having a mesh exactly like MineCraft's and copying it Obviously people can make their own models... this is just the default.
As a reminder, a scripter's help is needed at this point to make the player mesh usable! I need two lua functions that run for each player: One that knows if the player is walking, in which direction (based on where the player is facing) and with what speed. Second is a function that knows when the player is punching (holding the left mouse button). From that I should be able to make players loop the proper animation based on what they are doing.
Also needed next is license compatible player skin to be used by default. Feel free to look one up on http://www.minecraftskins.com/ (but make sure it's explicitly GPL or Public Domain) or draw your own for MineTest if you're good at that.

Theoretically that should be possible, if lua scripts can send custom menus to a player (and IIRC they can). But a better scripter than me would have to make a player selection menu for this. Note that in MineTest's case, skins are not the only ones that can be changed and should be selectable, but also models. My suggested implementation to anyone willing to do this is adding a model selector, and each model can have its own list of textures.OdnetninI wrote:You can add a fuction in inventory plus to change the skin of the player in game. See every player with their own texture.

I have some experience with the lua api so I'll try and work on that. Most of what you said that you needed though is already in the api. To get a players looking direction you can use "get_look_dir()" and to get velocity use "getvelocity()". The only one is how to tell if the user has clicked the mouse button. I have ideas on how to get that to work but I'll have to test them out.

There is no getvelocity() for players; its for Lua entities only.ashenk69 wrote:I have some experience with the lua api so I'll try and work on that.

Sorry about that I forgot it divides some functions to Lua Entities and not the Player.

That's because no skin is included in GIT for this model yet. I'm testing with the MC skin, which is not license compatible. Like I said, if someone knows a free MineCraft skin that looks good I will include that (must be either GPL or Public Domain I believe).OdnetninI wrote:I only see this:

If you want a texture until then, get the default skin from here, rename it to character.png, and put it in the same folder as the model. That will work out of the box.
It really sucks this function doesn't exist for players as well. Maybe I'll see if I can implement it... should be only a few lines of code I imagine. But I'm bad with the lua API, so it might be best to leave this part to someone else. If anyone wishes to help, feel free to clone my code branch and implement the necessary additional hooks there.PilzAdam wrote:There is no getvelocity() for players; its for Lua entities only.ashenk69 wrote:I have some experience with the lua api so I'll try and work on that.

Also important: In an IRC discussion, someone suggested letting C++ handle player animations. Personally I think this is a bad idea, because different player models would have different animation ranges, plus that special mods could have special actions adding their own animations to the player. At worst, this could be done in builtin (the default lua scripts), but it's very important that each MineTest game can define the frame ranges of any model plus specify their own animations if needed. The lua functions already in my code should stay as they are so they can be usable by any script in their current form.
Other than that, I'd leave better scripters decide what to do here. Ask me anytime if there's a question about this, either here or on IRC.

Would this be compatible with this: http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3587 ?
if it is not, i would be a good thing to see happen

I've done, but I see the same.

Like I said on IRC, yes. The script function can customize each player at any time, and set visuals to anything. This means a player can choose any mesh or sprite, and set it to any texture (if a lua script for a visuals selector is also made). That would also allow using the sprite player MineTest had until now, or any other sprite... while someone else on the same server can be wearing the mesh.rubenwardy wrote:Would this be compatible with this: http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3587 ?

Weird, it works here. Make sure the texture is named "character.png" (lower case characters only) and is in the same folder as character.x (meaning the models folder). If not check the script, the image for the mesh is also specified there. Might mean something is broken locally for you.OdnetninI wrote:I've done, but I see the same.

We have a new default skin, which has been added to the GIT. Credits go to Jordach for making it. The texture is licensed as CC BY-SA 3.0 with specific permission for MineTest only. See the original here: http://www.planetminecraft.com/skin/greed-plaid-shirt/
OdnetninI, please update minetest_game from my GIT and try it now. If you still get no texture it's a local bug and I don't know sadly.

Yes now it works, Thanks.

how about this player skin for minetest

Is that skin explicitly under a free license? Doesn't look quite like the style we might want for a default player, but it is of good quality.babe223 wrote:how about this player skin for minetest

Bumped protocol version in the code to fix connections for older clients. If I understand right, those who don't have the models code should now be able to connect to a server that does and at least see the old sprite players or not crash. No idea, needs to be tested.
Anyway, RealBadAngel decided to try these HD skins with the model, and posted these screenshots of what he got. Fun fun fun

A) I planned on having it FOR ALL FORKS, that’s why it is CC 0 for Minetest only.MirceaKitsune wrote:Needs to be discussed with Jordach then, I'll ask him when he's back on IRC. If he's not ok with making it fully CC I'll ask someone else to make a new skin.celeron55 wrote:That will make a lot of problems in terms of forks and whatnot. Only plain open licenses can go upstream.
B) I will create a special metadata Version to id the GIT from PMC.
P.S Taoki, the left arms textures are flipped, do fix it.

They exist in the model, but new lua hooks and functions are needed to actually apply them based on what the player is doing.Menche wrote:Is there supposed to be a walking or digging animation? I'm not seeing any.
If you have the latest code branch and minetest_game branch from GIT, it should work. Likely a local issue if not.Mito551 wrote:textures work neither for me.
From what I understand, the skin needs to be one license everywhere, or at least any license should be a free one (CC). So I think it's necessary to release it as one everywhere, without a special clause for MineTest.Jordach wrote: A) I planned on having it FOR ALL FORKS, that’s why it is CC 0 for Minetest only.

An idea: If you don't want to release the whole skin under a free license, you could make some small modifications to the MineTest one so it's a different texture entirely. Like a tiny logo on the back of the shirt or something... not sure if that's a good idea.
And yeah... flipping the UV's properly is harder to test. I'll re-create the left arm from mirroring the right one. Are the leg UV's ok?

Animation does work, but you can only loop one animation currently. You can't change animations based on what the player is doing (walking, mining, etc) since there's no way to detect that. RealBadAngel is going to look at this... what's needed are script hooks to get the velocity of the player, or get what keys the player is pressing. Pressed keys is the best option IMO, but new hooks have to be implemented in C++Mito551 wrote:works now... somewhy. anyway, thanks. from what you wrote it means that animations don't work at the moment, correct? what is needed for it to work?
