I have heard alot about this cape jibber jabber. I hear that you can get a server mod for them to work BUT, it is not made for bukkit, we might need some bukkit additions for this to work properly, but we should get it to work eventually [MERGETIME="1299556999"][/MERGETIME] BUMP BUMP BUMP
Skins are not retrieved from the server. They are retrieved from a central minecraft skin database on Amazon Cloud. I'm not sure exactly how capes work, but if it is something to do with skin fetching (and I think it very likely that it is) then no server plugin could affect this.
Fuck me did any one of you ever considered searching on google it really helps. As fot the thread there is a way in fact to do this but for it to work every one that joins your server needs to have the client otherwise they wont be able to see the custom skin and cape, its called mineshafter you will need to download two files if you have the server the client and the server, and yes it works with bukkit you jus need to put jibber jabber command in terminal or what ever its called on windows. if you have anny problems just send me a massage
Well doesn't the server look up the users and download their capes/skins to be sent to the player?? Or is that just me. I will go and find that handy dandy list. If I am right then the server either has a server side repository (that could be uploaded to from a site using PHP) or everyone who wants a cape gets a client side mod (but the others would still be able to see the capes, also it wouldn't be able to enter the 'official' plugins list).
