Suggestion: Export skins as PNG

[Samuelva]

Hello,

It would be nice to have an option that could export the skins of all players to a specified location in PNG format (preferably <playername>.png formatted) , ideally whenever someone changes their skin and joins the server.

The reason for this is that dynmap has the option to set a custom skin-url from which it retrieves all the player skins. By setting up a simple webserver in a directory, and pointing the skin-url option to http://0.0.0.0:port/directory, one could host the skins themself without relying on other sites for retrieval and show skins on dynmap even in offline mode.

Unfortunately this isn't possible at the moment as SkinsRestorer doesn't have a (automatic) skin export option.

Cheers.

the thing is that the .png link is already in the .skin file (base64 -> mojang skins)
A script should do the work... i doubt a lot of owners want this. if they do they could make a script or get the stuff from skinsystem.

as of SkinSystem 1.7 you can access raw skin data through /resources/server/skinRender.php?format=raw&dl=true&user=<username>

I tried that right now with my website and "/resources/server/skinRender.php?format=raw&dl=true&user=" but It didn't appear anything in dynmap, I suppose that it's because dynmap searchs for a %player%.png. Help me

I suppose that it's because dynmap searchs for a %player%.png

I guess that the correct one is:
/resources/server/skinRender.php?format=raw&dl=true&user=<username>/%player%.png
because when I go there throught my website It puts a save with a name like this _username_-85a2624d.png

EDIT: I didn't work all the ways I tried.
