Correct way to get player skin name from the server

[iloveut99]

Hello,

Somebody knows a simple way to get the skin name of a client in the server?

I'm using right now

Code: Select all

p.GetDefaultURL("Skin")

(where p is a TournamentPlayer), but seems that it doesn't work in a server, just in practice section.

Code: Select all

p.MultiSkins[].name

seems to only retrieve the name of the skin, not the package name.

Thanks.

Well, you can try:

Code: Select all

String(p.MultiSkins[])

That should get you something like: Texture'SomePackage.SomeTex'

I am not sure though, but since I use logs many times for debugging, I use something like "log(SomeActorOrClass)" and it always prints the full thing, so I assume "log" makes a string coersion (by calling the internal toString() getter of the object) and String(something) must do the same thing. Just assuming though, but give it a try.

When players join you get lines like this:

Login request: Index.unr?Name=pucka?Class=MultiMesh.TSkaarj?team=1?skin=tskmskins.MekS?Face=tskmskins.Disconnect?Voice=MultiMesh.SkaarjVoice

The proper replicated values are MeshName, SkinName, and FaceName. Grab those and you ought to see what you need. It's just as easy though to look at the logs. Oh, and mods like Val Av or Dane's Skin Changer can obviously override the player's chosen settings.

Feralidragon tip worked fine:

Code: Select all

string(p.MultiSkins[0])

JackGriffin I thought in that log but what I could find more similar was ProcessServerTravel in GameInfo class. Where is that log being written?

[JackGriffin]

That's the main feed from the UCC.log.

I meant the class that was writing it.

I took a quick glance through the public source and I don't see it. It may be native code creating the log file.

Yeah you may be right.

When you say to I use the replicated variables MeshName, SkinName, and FaceName you mean to I get them (at least skin name) from the function

Code: Select all

GetMultiSkin( Actor SkinActor, out string SkinName, out string FaceName )

right? I will probably continue with Feralidragon method however.

In a decision over who to listen to ALWAYS listen to Ferali versus anyone else. My money is on him.

The values I listed are simply the replicated variables that the player sends to the server. Neither is wrong, but I prefer to grab default values when I can. Certain mods could reassign the multiskins (like I said above) and using defaults will always let you see what the player has chosen to use.

Oh ok got it. Yes in this case I need to check what's the actual skin and not the what the player chose I believe.
