I've worked out so far ClientboundRespawnPacket packet = new ClientboundRespawnPacket(nmsLevel.dimensionTypeId(), nmsLevel.dimension(), nmsLevel.getSeed(), npc.gameMode.getGameModeForPlayer(), null, false, false, true, null);

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 5:43 PM

#

No clue how the respawn packet does anything. It has no reference to the player at all

#

#

wow thank you very much!

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 5:58 PM

lament zenith No clue how the respawn packet does anything. It has no reference to the player ...

It's because the respawn packet is just for the player in question itself; so like if i send a respawn packet to your client, your client will think it has information to fetch about urself
(i think)

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 5:58 PM

#

ah ok

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 5:58 PM

#

so that would do 4)

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 5:58 PM

#

in that case, the packet above shoudl do it

#

npc is ServerPlayer

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 5:58 PM

#

oki

#

nmsLevel?

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 5:59 PM

#

ServerLevel taken from World

#

I use my own utils to avoid CraftBukkit imports, so for me it ServerLevel nmsWorld = (ServerLevel) NMSUtils.getServerLevel(location.getWorld());

#

thank you so much !! i'll try and tell you

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:03 PM

#

@lament zenith hmm the more i get into it, the more i feel i'm heading into a really hacky stuff

#

cuz yeah they advise to send 2 respawn packets to prevent bugs

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:04 PM

#

give me a sec to test

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:04 PM

#

(i'm doing animated skin)

#

yeah sure

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:20 PM

#

I'm getting a null error, but I am doing it in the join event, well 20 ticks delayed

#

ah seems it requires the last field

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:31 PM

#

lament zenith ah seems it requires the last field

aha lastdeath?

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:31 PM

#

well I logged in but my skin didn;t change#

#

I may have used an invalid one

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:32 PM

#

lament zenith well I logged in but my skin didn;t change#

this is how u must change skin

    public static void changeSkin(ServerPlayer player, String texture, String signature){
        GameProfile profile = player.getGameProfile();
        profile.getProperties().removeAll("textures");
        profile.getProperties().put("textures", new Property("textures", texture, signature));
    }```

#

texture + sig

#

the PlayerTextures.setSkin(...) is for npc

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:33 PM

#

yeah I was trying a quick way and giving a url

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:34 PM

#

yeah someone confirmed me that PlayerTextures.setSkin(URL) will not put a signed skin whatever url u put

#

don't forget: before changing skin, playerinfopacket 'remove' ur player, after changing skin, playerinfopack "add" ur player

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:36 PM

#

that shouldn;t be required just for yourself

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:36 PM

#

ah yeah

#

on the second link in the first post of this thread, someone said that:

#

all that is very confusing 😄
Tell me if u got sth working, i'm trying to fix my compiler once again lmao

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:41 PM

#

got it working

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:41 PM

#

gg!

#

is it instant?

#

or does it take some ms to change skin

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:42 PM

#

was teh instant I logged in. I just did it in the join event

#

it should be instant

#

its literally 1 packet

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:43 PM

#

can u try to change it while already connected? (so u can see ur skin change live)

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:43 PM

#

yep

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:43 PM

#

tysm

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:44 PM

#

lament zenith its literally 1 packet

rrespawn packet?

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:44 PM

#

yes

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:44 PM

#

i see

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:44 PM

#

I'm going to put a delay on applying the skin for 100 ticks so I can log in first

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:45 PM

#

uh

#

could u rather make a trigger?

#

like when u move

#

or send a msg

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:46 PM

#

I'm doing a broadcast when it tries to set it

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:46 PM

#

oki

#

i feel like "playerjoinevent" is part of "preparing the player instance" and therefore it works

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:47 PM

#

could be

#

ok skin didnt; change, but oddly it did give me a different inventory

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:49 PM

#

hmmm

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:50 PM

#

I just have to find the packet I'm missing

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:50 PM

#

new ClientboundPlayerInfoPacket(ClientboundPlayerInfoPacket.Action.REMOVE_PLAYER, player)

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:51 PM

#

I'm trying just add

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:51 PM

#

yeah

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:51 PM

#

see if it overwrites

#

that works, but I do get a different inventory

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:54 PM

#

lament zenith that works, but I do get a different inventory

add player.updateInventory(); at the very end

#

not ServerPlayer but bukkit player

#

it's what they did in the 2nd link of the first post of this thread

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:56 PM

#

testing now

#

yep works. and I got my inventory back

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 7:58 PM

#

amazing

#

if u have an axe in hand (or whatever tool with cooldown)
While it sends the respawn packet, does your tool refresh?

#

like do some kind of animation off cooldown

#

(cuz as i'm planning for animated skin, that would be a bit offsetting to have constantly cooldown animation xd)

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 7:59 PM

#

I was in 3rd person view and it does flash teh screen once

#

no idea on animations though

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 8:00 PM

#

aha

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 8:01 PM

#

this is everything to change your own skin. It won;t update for others though```java
public void changeSkin(Player player, String[] skin) {

    Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Setting Skin for " + player.getName());

    ServerPlayer serverPlayer = (ServerPlayer) NMSUtils.getServerPlayer(player);
    ServerLevel nmsLevel = serverPlayer.getLevel();
    GlobalPos pos = GlobalPos.of(nmsLevel.dimension(), serverPlayer.blockPosition());

    setSkin(serverPlayer, skin);

    ClientboundPlayerInfoPacket playerInfoAdd = new ClientboundPlayerInfoPacket(ClientboundPlayerInfoPacket.Action.ADD_PLAYER, serverPlayer);
    ClientboundRespawnPacket respawn = new ClientboundRespawnPacket(nmsLevel.dimensionTypeId(), nmsLevel.dimension(), nmsLevel.getSeed(), serverPlayer.gameMode.getGameModeForPlayer(), null, false, false, true, Optional.of(pos));

    serverPlayer.connection.send(playerInfoAdd);
    serverPlayer.connection.send(respawn);

    player.updateInventory();
}

private void setSkin(ServerPlayer player, String[] skin) {

    String texture = skin[0];
    String signature = skin[1];

    player.getGameProfile().getProperties().removeAll("textures");
    player.getGameProfile().getProperties().put("textures", new Property("textures", texture, signature));

}```

#

yeah yeah

#

thanks very much buddy

#

that's very nice u did all the testing for me

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 8:01 PM

#

🙂

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 8:01 PM

#

it's irritating to do blind coding xd (having hard time with fken gradle)

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 8:02 PM

#

Yeah I have so many test projects setup for this purpose but I also use Maven so simpler

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 8:02 PM

#

lament zenith Yeah I have so many test projects setup for this purpose but I also use Maven so...

i wish i could but with paperweight (for nms basically) u need gradle i think

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 8:03 PM

#

It also helps I only finished yesterday messing about with NPC/fake player creation

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 8:03 PM

#

oh niice

#

yeah it's a fun project too

#

i'd love doing that one day

lament zenith Jul 14, 2022, 8:03 PM

#

I have the head pitch wrong at teh moment, but thats all

grim pumice Jul 14, 2022, 8:03 PM

#

i basically love doing hacky stuff xd, my previous project (which finished successfully btw) was animated map arts

#

like gif into mc

#

i see i see

#

well, have a great evening my friend!
