Due to how MPM functions, and how we've set up our textures for the custom models that you can wear, it is possible to overlay your own custom textures onto various models to better fit what your character is wearing! This can range from custom cloaks and capes to alternative wing textures and even decorated shields.
There are some restrictions of course, the texture is much like a base minecraft skin and must match up with the model itself, it has to be within the limitations of a minecraft skin when it comes to file size also, but these models innately can be upscaled for higher detail. Just keep in mind the servers rules will still apply when it comes to both MPM and HD skins.
An example of what a custom shield texture could look like, uploaded to Imgur and upscaled to 128x128.
Getting Started
To begin, you will need to download the appropriate texture for the model you wish to customize. You'll find two different textures for each model below, the base texture that is default, and a secondary texture which is colored and noted for which parts belong where. Once you have made your texture, upload it to Imgur, open your parts menu and click on the cogwheel for the appropriate model(Make sure you have it checked on), then simply paste the direct image link into the 'Skin URL' box. Close out of the menus and your custom texture should be displaying on the model correctly!
Please note it is important that you save your texture as a PNG to support transparency, and that you don't color outside the lines otherwise your textures may look buggy or have some odd clipping in certain instances.
Back Shield Textures
Blue = Outside Face
Red = Inside Face
Green = Edge
Yellow = Center Nub
Note, the center can be made transparent entirely if desired like in the example shield at the top of the post.
Darker colors represent the bottom of their respective regions, while the lighter colors are the top.
Cloaks & Capes
Please keep in mind that we may change the texture layout in the future, which we will keep players updated on when it happens. If there are more textures for specific models that people desire to edit we can also provide those later on down the line. If you have any issues contact Spazman1997 for assistance.
