I am failing to update the playertexture

[Milan*]

Heyo,

i've tried to write a little mod which changes the playertexture for each player related to his/her name.
So i looked how it is done in the default mod and how some skinmods handle this.

My current test-code looks like:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_on_joinplayer(function(player)
     player:set_properties({
         visual = "mesh",
         mesh = "character.b3d",
         visual_size = {x=1, y=1},
         textures = "singleplayer.png",
     })
end)

I am able to change the model and the size but the texture stays on the default one.

Just a quick guess here... shouldn't your .png file use the name of your mod, rather than just "singleplayer.png?
Seems to me this mod is just calling to use the default provided image?

Textures is a table, so It should be written

textures = {"character.png"},

Hi stu, this is what my code looked like since the beginning - it was only changed while i tried everything possible - anyway, i changed it back, still does not work. But thanks. :)

The player code in default mod may be resetting it back to the default texture.

Try using `default.player_set_textures` (you will need to depend on `default`)..
