I'm just curious to know why nobody (unless of course i havent looked hard enough) creates 128x128 character skins. The only ones i've seen are ones that come with the texture packs.
can someone please let me know, i'm interested in trying certain mods that add npc's but i use LB's realism textures and it kinda bugs me to have a really detailed world but crappy looking npc's
The reason there are no higher-resolution skins is because it's impossible. To apply a skin, you have to go directly to the official Minecraft website and change it there. The website won't accept anything but the default resolution.
Texture packs don't change YOUR skin. They change the human skin. Anyone who hasn't gone and changed their skin yet will appear to be using your texture pack's. The same thing happens when using offline mode. Since Minecraft has to be online to reach the skin (located on the official website), if there's no internet to connect to, there's no skin to obtain.

thanks for the reply but maybe i should rephrase the question and title. Are there any 128x or even 64x char.pngs other than the 128x texture pack ones

Well, you COULD try your luck in the skins forum. If you can't find anything there, I don't know what else to say besides "just download an entire pack, take out the char.png and throw the rest in the recycling bin." :|

lol yeah thought of that already but there's not much variety in that :tongue.gif:
and the skins site suck :sad.gif: skimmed through a bunch of them and to no avail.
ahhh crap sorry guys just noticed this should of been posted in the skins forum
noob move on my part
I would like to point out that it IS possible to have HD skins show up for other people in multiplayer. What you have to do is either host or play on a server that has it's own skin archive. There are a few around. However, this does take some coding to accomplish.

I'm not sure if that's anything like what you were searching for though. If you manage to come across any other HD skins, be sure to tell me.
