RetroSkinLoader

Based on CustomSkinLoader and SkinsRestorer
##

Made for Better Than Adventure (BTA) 8.0.1
##

What does it do?

Basically, upon opening a world or entering a server, the game asks Mojang’s servers for a skin associated to your Minecraft name, so, if it doesn’t find anything, you got Steve. So, this mod intercepts the call and searches in a different way, if Mojang doesn’t find anything, it asks ElyBy.

Something like this:

Mojang -> Ely.by -> Steve (no response)

If it doesn’t find skins…
Lucky you, in that case we have commands:

/rsl skin (set|clear|list|admin)

RSL can also fetch skins from URLs, which means it isn’t limited to just a handful of providers, go crazy.

How do commands work?

RSL works using a pool of skins determined by an admin in a server (or in your minecraft’s or server’s folder, search for _skins_list.json_ inside the ‘_RetroSkinLoader_’ folder), which then, allow the players to select a skin from that pool.

e.g.

/rsl skin admin adduser hi notch

/rsl skin set hi

_Also… It’s been a long time since I modded Minecraft so… I’ll try making it easier to use on the long run if you find it a bit rough around the edges as of now…_

Command list

• _/rsl skin set _ : Sets your skin to the selected id on the pool.

• _/rsl skin list_ : Shows every skin id available in the pool.

• _/rsl skin clear_ : Resets your skin to default.

• _/rsl skin admin add _ : Adds a skin to the pool via URL, use quotation marks on the URLs tho. uses _slim_ or _default_.

• _/rsl skin admin adduser _ : Adds a skin to the pool via username.

• _/rsl skin admin remove _ : Removes a skin from the pool.

Can I add providers?

Of course you can, if it’s compatible with the format on RSLconfig.json, go nuts.

These two mods got me thinking about doing the same for Better Than Adventure, if it wasn’t for these mods and their great developers, I wouldn’t have even thought of it. Source Code also includes parts of CSL due to its system design (though sometimes it got me more confused than helping me to solve issues).
