How can i use a skin from skins.tw with the "Download community skins" option in the settings?

cl_skin_download_url https://api.skins.tw/api/resolve/skins/ or cl_skin_community_download_url

murpi

cl_skin_download_url https://api.skins.tw/api/resolve/skins/ or cl_skin_community_download_url

can other people see them ?

ppl using the skins.tw db aswell, yes

murpi

ppl using the skins.tw db aswell, yes

does that mean they just have to check community skins in the setting or do they also have to execute "cl_skin_download_url https://api.skins.tw/api/resolve/skins/"

the latter

murpi

the latter

damn, seems like an unnecessary step tbh. The checkbox should be enough to enable it.

we have no control over skins.tw

14:48

it's not part of ddnet

i mean just set the default value for cl_skin_download_url

it's set to our db

so why do you have to set it manually again i dont get it

skins.tw and the ddnet db are entirely different databases

14:50

the ddnet db has 2 categories, the normal one (highly regulated) and the community skin db (less strict)

I get that, and i also see the problem with faulted skins. But i dont see why 2 steps are needed to enbale community skins when it could just be a checkbox. And why implement something if you dont want the player to use it "... the community skin db (less strict)"

(edited)

what

14:53

okay lets go back

14:53

But i dont see why 2 steps are needed to enbale community skins when it could just be a checkbox. You get what i mean?

Normal Skin DB = immersive, fits the teeworlds theme Community Skin DB = unimmersive, doesn't necessarily fit the teeworlds theme

14:53

that's entirely up to personal preference

14:54

some people dislike the unimmersive skins like tank

murpi

the latter

what did you mean, the checkbox or the url

murpi

some people dislike the unimmersive skins like tank

i get that ....

bruh

bruh you really dont know what i mean

14:55

i dont see why 2 steps are needed to enable community skins

you need to enter the URL of skins.tw to enable skins.tw skins

14:55

you need to click the checkbox in the client to enable not-so-strict skins from ddnet (edited)

if you dont wanna see them, turn off the checkbox (make it disabled by default) and if you wanna see them just enable the checkbox without also having to execute cl_skin_download_url https://api.skins.tw/api/resolve/skins/

by default, you get strict skins from ddnet

14:56

the checkbox and cl_skin_download_url do separate things

heinrich5991

the checkbox and cl_skin_download_url do separate things

huh?

the checkbox enables not-so-strict skins from ddnet

isn't...that...obvious?

14:56

xD

your command enables skins from skins.tw

murpi

isn't...that...obvious?

how is it obvious

(these are separate things that work independently from each other)

so you saying there are more providers than skins.tw?

a checkbox = enable/disable can you disable and enable a url?

murpi wtf

bluesky

so you saying there are more providers than skins.tw?

yes

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

there's the ddnet skin db, there's the ddnet community skin db, and there's the skins.tw db

i thought there was only skins.tw thats why i wondered about the url

skins.tw and the ddnet db are entirely different databases

murpi

skins.tw and the ddnet db are entirely different databases

murpi u wanna fight

no thanks

murpi

skins.tw and the ddnet db are entirely different databases

i just thought that there was only skins.tw i didnt know about others

14:59

i obviously know ddnet and skin.tw are seperated feelsbadman

15:03

"why do i have to set a url when skins.tw is the only provider for community skins anyway" @murpi maybe know you understand what i meant.
