Beta Release 3.0.79

SkinChanger Beta 3.0.79

Copying other player skins

This release implements a new menu which lets you copy skins from other players in the same world as you.

+ New copy/clone/steal skin UI (accessible under the options button)
+ A new button which uses the a players head

~ Fixed an issue with buttons not checking their translatable state
~ Fixed translation for lighting
~ Separated the player and cape animation
~ Recoded the player and cape animation
~ A lot of internal code was moved around

- Removed the following UI elements: Spacer and Checkbox

Specifically this release is implements #24

This release is still not a stable release, not much testing has been done on the new UI and any feedback is appreciated. Github changed how environment variables work in Workflows so for now, builds will be done by me.

SkinChanger Beta 3.0.77

More UI Work

+ Added a toggle for the mod in the settings menu
+ Added descriptions for each setting (hover to view)

~ Rewrote the settings UI (it is generated on the fly instead)

- Removed UI blur since it caused issues with the renderer

Beta Release 3.0.76

SkinChanger Beta 3.0.76

A tiny patch

No longer requires you to have "All me" enabled. See #27

~ Patched player comparisons, the mod now differentiates between players correctly.

Next up

What's on the roadmap?

• I won't be working on the mod for the next 2 months while I have exams.
• Once exams are over I'll implement a few of the optional features seen here and once that's done I'll be able to release v3.

Beta Release 3.0.75

SkinChanger Beta 3.0.75

An internal overhaul which actually works

If you want to use SkinChanger at this point, you will need to enable the "All me" option in the config settings.

This release implements more options and patches #21 (at least tries to).

Patch/Release Notes:

+ An update checker has been implemented (this will not run on beta builds).
+ Added a button to pause the skin renderer
+ Added an option to give everyone the same skin as you
+ Added an option to disable UI blur
+ Preparation for running whilst obfuscated

- Removed "Recent Capes" & "Recent Skins" (these will be in a new UI)
- Removed vertical scrollbar (I suspect this is what caused issues with rendering).

Next up

What's on the roadmap?

• Completion of a few of the optional features seen here and once that's done I'll be able to release v3.

Beta Release 72 (3.0.72)

SkinChanger 3.0.72

The one where it's actually semi useable

The main focus of this build was to make the codebase slightly less complex, CodeScene has been helping with this journey.

I'd say the most noteable change is the game no longer freezes when loading a cape/skin.

Patch/Release Notes:

The mod no longer freezes the game when loading a cape/skin.

+ Fixed Skin and Cape loading from a URL
+ Fixed Skin and Cape loading from a UUID

More work needs to be done on the caching system. I've stopped inappropriately and naively thinking I can wait for the return value of some methods, and have adopted a "Callback"/"Promise" system with web requests, this lets the code keep running while the logic runs off the main thread.

Next up

What to look forward to in the next release?

In the next release I'd like to entirely refactor the caching system and also get started on a config system. These are two QOL features which the mod needs before it's ready for release. Similarly the other elephant in the room is this awesome bug (as seen in #21)

This issue has not been solved in this version.

Obfuscation

Something for developers

Official builds (by me not Github) will be obfuscated, this is to encourage other developers to visit this repo and learn from the source over decompiling and modifying the mod directly. The additional bonus is a large file-size reduction. Especially now that many dependancies of the mod have been removed. Yes, the binary is already quite small, but it could be better.
