Searching for a model...

And now we're a silverfish! Yeay!


Player Model API 2.0


Installation Tutorial



Introduction / Overview

Player Model API (PMAPI)

Spoiler

Mainly handles Player Models - the thing which decides what base and armor model the player has and how it is rendered (shadow, render scale), the size of the collision box (axisalignedBoundingBox, aaBB) and the camera options (height and distance).The settings (what model you had recently) is stored in PMAPI.dat in the ".minecraft"-folder

The API automatically collects all PMAPI Add-On's (like the standard model pack) and installs their player models.
Already installed models are:

Human

To make it clear: This is the Player Model API and does NOT change the behavior nor the abilities of the player!

If you like to know more about it, download the code or pm me!

Selection Gui

Spoiler

Makes the API usable for the user.
If you go to Menu -> Options -> Player Models... ->
it opens the Player Model switching Gui, as seen as in the pictures above.
There you can go through a list of all installed models.

EDIT, because it's the 3rd post which deals with an important question and my mod became finally an api. Read in the API description what it is for.

[CaSquall]

How about some screenshots?

[Felix_Culpa]

So you could make yourself look exactly like a Creeper, or say an Aperture Science Sentry Turret?

[timbo1111]

How about explaining how we modify the model and use other features of the mod..

Right, and with a special model by changing the ModelPlayer.class!
But it took long for me to understand how to modify the model.
I'll write an overview about what I found out after screenshots.

You can be a "real" -> with model (= body form file) sangheili :3

I'm trying it, but I don't know HOW a texture is read out of an image...
(A box seems to be unreeled on the image, but when I tried, it didn't work )

[JeremyisBetter]

i still dont get it. show a vid or something and demenstrate it

[ITzApricot]

can i get some pictures?

[redjericho]

it's kinda cool for single player, but for multiplayer many people would just use the transparent pixel addition and make their whole guy invisible, better for griefing and pvp.

[Drathian]

Wow this looks pretty cool, I have been looking for something like this. Now since most people can't use MCP, maybe a good idea would be for a model sharing at the top of the thread. (most people can do textures, but not the models that go for them, as it requires compiling code) I'll check this out in a bit.

So... you're figuring out how to make the character a sangheili?
or are you trying to figure out how to rig up the .png?
Please say the 1st option! oh, and if you get the sangheili thing working, can you just pm me the whole thing so i don't have to make the framework myself? please?

you get for your effort.

[Mragent0028]

Copy your skin into minecraft.jar/mod/player.png
And learn how to mod a model if you want :3
I added a link to a player model tutorial by me.

I don't know what a sangheili is, I have to inform myself If I know how
the skin transfer works exactly, I would be able to do almost all models
But I guess I'm not so good in model designing...

[T'Flok]

Thank god! Finally we're getting somewhere with player modelling. I'll see if I can change my model to ogre.. just for fun and excitement.

[KiRa11Love]

So this mod can change your skin? Does other people in the multiplayer can see the skin you have?
