Green light for personalized skins?

[xxaa]

Can a mod or Nilllzz himself answer whether personal skins can be edited into the game or will be allowed in the future?
I'd like have my own but first I gotta ask for your authorization.
Thanks

You can have your own skins in the game if u want to all u need is to create a new npc skin and edit your player.dat file and change the line of code that saids what skin u have.

If u want to use the skin in a co-op game your partner will need to have that skin as well in his content folders.
Let me look up one of the threads where it saids how to edit the skins.

I'd love it if there was a coherent tutorial for putting custom Trainer sprites in the game, since I have the spriting knowledge to make them, buuut I lack the technical knowhow to do so. ^^;

Step 1:
Trainer sprites sheets are 96 x 128 so 32 pixels big per sprite and will look like this
View attachment 115

U can edit this one if u want and save it.

Step 2:
To convert the sprite to a usable format for the game u can use a program called XNA Formatter this will convert it to xnb

Available from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xnbbuilder/

Step 3:
Name your file to something u like and place it in the following folder:
Pokemon3D\Pokemon\Content\Textures\NPC\

Step 4:
Go to your save folder located at Pokemon3D\Pokemon\Save\<Your Ingame Name>
open up the file named Player.dat in notepad or wordpad or any text editing program.

Inside it will look something like this

Name|Test
Position|2,0.1,2
MapFile|yourroom.dat
Rotation|4.767895
RivalName|???
Money|3000
Badges|0
Gender|Male

LastRestPlacePosition|1,0.1,3
DiagonalMovement|0
RepelSteps|0
LastSavePlace|barktown0.dat
LastSavePlacePosition|8,0.09602252,-1

The part we are interested in is this

skin|Red

All you need to do is replace "Red" with the name u have given to your xnb file.
Save it and you are done.

Note:
If u tend on using this on multiplayer the person whom you are playing co-op with needs to have this file as well before connecting to your session.

im attempting to use this image but the xna formatter wont convert it...
what should i do?

 

[Splint]

Here u go

 

[Noble 7]

i made it the new skin but its just a frozen picture, i guess i gave a bad picture source? the skin example of red you posted above has a smaller file size could that be the problem?

 

[Splint]

the dimensions need to be exactly the same as the red image any other dimension will render it wrong

 

[Noble 7]

im looking.... lol

 

[Splint]

Sorry dimensions are fine u just haven't put the sprites in the correct order and u have 4 rows instead of 3

vs

I have this one, and my xnb isn't working, could you convert it for me? that would be awesome! I have two, but I don't know which ones. Could you convert both if it's not too much trouble?


they're both 96x128 already
