Change the player into a Villager and save a players skin as a png?

Hello. I am pretty new to this forum. I am currently working on a minigame plugin where I want all players to look like villagers. I don't mind making the player invisible and spawning a villager which follows him.. But I am not sure how to spawn an entity and make it follow a player....

My second question is: How can I save a players skin as a png file on the server. You might wonder why I need this. I am making a server application and I need to get the players skin for it. I am not sure if it is easy or even possible but if it is I would like to do it.

Thanx in advance,
Aditya.

For the villager, use this:

PHP:

namespace Samueljh1\Aditya\Is\Newb;

use pocketmine\plugin\PluginBase;

use pocketmine\event\Listener;
use pocketmine\event\player\PlayerMoveEvent;

use pocketmine\entity\Villager;
use pocketmine\Player;

use pocketmine\level\Position;

use pocketmine\Server;
use pocketmine\plugin\Plugin;

class Aditya_IsNewb extends PluginBase implements Listener{

     function spawn($p){

          //the villager has been spawned and is saved as $this->villager

          foreach($this->getServer()->getOnlinePlayers() as $x){

               $x->hidePlayer($p); //Hides the player from each user online

          }

          $this->player = $p;

     }

     function onMove(PlayerMoveEvent $newb){

          $p = $newb->getPlayer();

          if(isset($this->villager) && $p === $this->player){

               $this->villager->teleport(new Position($p->getX(), $p->getY(), $p->getZ(), $p->getLevel()));

          }

     }

}



And for saving the skin, using

PHP:

$player->getSkinData();

May help

Is skin data a png?

you want to make the Mineplex minigame? xD

Off-Topic: It is called Sneaky Assassins...

Yes it is Sneaky Assassins.. And Sam, what does get skin data return. And how do I save it as a png.?

I think it returns an rgb map of the skin, like this: http://samcraft.samueljh1.net/img.php

Boom i got it, its hex, and look at this:

byte count: 8192. 64*32*4 = 8192. that is the size of a skin file. what you are seeing is the RGB map of the skin, and that is what the http://samcraft.samueljh1.net/img.php shows. So now all i need to do is make a RGB map to image converter! (the opposite of the http://samcraft.samueljh1.net/img.php )

Hope you can do it .

@Samueljh1H8sLag please just upload the source.

u can look at @aliuly
Grabbag Plugin by github... he code to steal skins... dont know if this helps u...

Ok i got something:

http://pastebin.com/Dq4kp5aN

for some reason a black stripe is generated on the side. also, i think the hex data for my skin is corrupted, or something is glitching. Read the source comments near the top, and under the long hex string.

a live demo of the script is here: http://samcraft.samueljh1.net/hextoimg.php

and for the generated hex (image test with black and red stripes) : http://samcraft.samueljh1.net/ts.php

Read the source first!

@PEMapModder

omg i fixed it!!!! check it out it works! http://samcraft.samueljh1.net/hextoimg.php

that is the skin that i ran getSkinData() from !! Check out da bin data here:

http://samcraft.samueljh1.net/bin.txt

ok now i will make it a plugin

his does not save as a png, just the raw data that can only be viewed in pocket mine, which looks like this: http://samcraft.samueljh1.net/bin.txt

@shoghicp i thought you added the GD library?

Code:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function Samueljh1\SkinTools\imagecreatetruecolor() in /Users/samuel/PluginDevs/plugins/SkinTools/src/Samueljh1/SkinTools/main.php on line 237

SKIN SAVING PLUGIN COMPLETE:: I WILL PUBLISH SOON BUT U CAN DOWNLOAD HERE:

API to use in your plugins:

PHP:

use Samueljh1\SkinTools\main as SkinToolsAPI;

$api = new SkinToolsAPI();

//get a player object e.g.: $player

//saves skin into plugins/SkinTools/images/name.png
$api->saveSkinData($player);

//temporarily sets a player's skin to someone else's (must call save first to the $nameofplayerwithskin.)
//i recommend saving the skin onJoin. this will be added to the plugin soon.

$api->setSkinData($playertoset, $nameofplayerwithskin);

//also if you want to use the skin on NPCs, you must use plugins/SkinTools/data/name.dat as the DATA string for the skin. EG:

$data = file_get_contents($this->getServer()->getDataPath() . "plugins/SkinTools/data/samueljh1_.dat");

$myNPC->setSkin(zlib_decode($data));
