Minotar - The Miner's Avatar

You might be typing something in wrong? I'm not sure really.

 

I dont think. I type (localIP)/minotar, the index.php exists, it says 404 error. Well. gotta give up, I installed cherokee web server, same result. Thanks for the help anyway

 

The service doesn't seem to work for me. I simply get a blank page. using wget gives me a file with size of 0. Even from another computer it doesn't work. Wget:

There is something strange with it. To give you an example:
I am using Minotar to show player faces in my GUI.
However, all calls to minotar are using my webserver as a proxy. I wrote a proxy php script, because if I didn't use that script, I couldn't get the images.

 

Its down atm.

 

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK

When he tested, the server was online.

The script that I use:

PHP:

<?php
$url = $_GET['url'];
 
$allowed = array('jpg','gif','png');
$pos = strrpos($_GET['url'], ".");
$str = substr($_GET['url'],($pos + 1));
 
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 0;
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
 
// Getting binary data
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);
 
$image = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
// output to browser
$im = @imagecreatefromstring($image);
 
$tw = @imagesx($im);
if($tw){
    if($str == 'jpg' || $str == 'jpeg')
        header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
    if($str == 'gif')
        header("Content-type: image/gif");
    if($str == 'png')
        header("Content-type: image/png");
    $th = imagesy($im);
    $thumbWidth = 200;
    if($tw <= $thumbWidth){
        $thumbWidth = $tw;
    }
    $thumbHeight = $th * ($thumbWidth / $tw);
    $thumbImg = imagecreatetruecolor($thumbWidth, $thumbHeight);
    if($str == 'gif'){
        $colorTransparent = imagecolortransparent($im);
        imagefill($thumbImg, 0, 0, $colorTransparent);
        imagecolortransparent($thumbImg, $colorTransparent);
    }
    if($str == 'png'){

        imagesavealpha($thumbImg,true);
        $transparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($thumbImg, 255, 255, 255, 127);
        imagefilledrectangle($thumbImg, 0, 0, $thumbWidth, $thumbHeight, $transparent);
    }
    imagecopyresampled($thumbImg, $im, 0, 0, 0, 0, $thumbWidth, $thumbHeight, $tw, $th);
 
 
    if($str == 'jpg' || $str == 'jpeg'){

    }
    if($str == 'gif'){
        imagegif($thumbImg);
    }
    if($str == 'png'){
        imagealphablending($thumbImg,TRUE);
        imagepng($thumbImg, NULL, 9, PNG_ALL_FILTERS);
    }
       
    imagedestroy($thumbImg);
}
?> 

usage: minotar.php?url=http://minotar.net/avatar/player_name_here/20.png"
it just gets the image, and then it'll send you the image with the correct header etc.

 

Seems fixed now. Thanks

 

Awesome tool! I'm using it here http://bcraftserver.com/?post_type=forum
Thanks!

 

Can someone tells me how to install on my own webserver? Can someone do a tutorial or explain it? The github misses something, the page wont load.

 

I got tired of Minotar always returning 500 errors for images and being down or loading slowly, so I installed it on my server. That was one hell of a process, and I never want to do it again.

I also had to modify some of the files as the way it works on Minotar doesn't work at all on my server, no idea why. Regardless, it is working flawlessly on my server, and is quite a bit faster since it is all internal requests.

 

where did you get the files? I want to host them myself too, but I can't find them...

Why don't you just use PHP to get www.minecraft.net/skin/McLuke300.png and change the name

 

Hi
I just installed the Minotar Service on my server.
If someone wanna relieve Minotar.net he can take the skin from http://skin.edocsyl.ch

There's a number of differences.

That's the raw skin itself. Minotar provides a fast drawing of a enlarged entire player skin or head, with or without helmets.

Not to mention that Minotar provides accurate case-insensitive skins.

 

With your code does it load a new skin every request or does it save it on files for fast access if it does then I might use it for my own web server for forum avatars.

 

Its the same code like Minotar.
The pictures are stored in a folder.

 

how'd you got yours working? Mine dosen't work. Can you help me to set it? I have the required files, but it dosent work >.<

Any errors?
Did you activate the php imagick extension?

 

It won't work on my server...
when I go to the subdomain that hosts the files, I get
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in [...]/minotar/index.php on line 6

PHP:

respond('/', function ($request, $response) {

I added klein.php and the WideImage lib as I saw they were needed, but the error is still there. Any ideas about this?

 

Make sure your paht to klein.php is working..

don't call the file like xxxxx.xxxxx.xx/index.php only like so xxxxx.xxxxx.xx/

check your .htaccess file too, if you calling this not in the root direction, you need to edit this

Code:

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

PHP:

require 'klein.php';
include 'wideimage/lib/WideImage.php';
include 'Minotar.php';

if you get a error while calling the Imagick(); function, you need to install imagick extension

 

The only error I get is
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in [...]/minotar/index.php on line 6
include 'wideimage/lib/WideImage.php'; is include 'wideimage/WideImage.php'; for me, but this is correct
I put the same .htaccess in the subdomain root, so it should override the settings from the main .htaccess
Though, I've changed the main .htaccess too, but still no luck.
It seems like it won't accept the "response" function from the klein.php file...

Edit:
unexpected T_FUNCTION

respond('/', function ($request, $response) {

would it be the " function ($request, $response)" part?

 

Try to run, this with chmod 777
change permissions to 777 to all files

 

didn't work.
Though, I found out something weird...
even there is "error_reporting(0);" it shows the error.
require("klein.php");
if I change the name to a file that doesn't exist, it won't give an error about missing file or something. It won't show the error, also if I remove the "error_reporting(0);"
Seems like something's wrong with my php

edit:
Not my php, but these scripts.

You got it working, so is it possible for you to send me your minotar folder?
You could upload it somewhere (dropbox, or just zip it on your server) and send me the link over pm.

thanks!
still doesn't work however. I'm going to ask my host about any limitation or something like that, or if everything's enabled. Quite strange....
Thanks for the help however!

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

well, it shows me an 404 error, even the index.php is present! And what imagick? I never heard that.

Edit: I google'd the imagick ext, looked in download, I already have it installed "Version: ImageMagick 6.6.0-4 2012-05-02 Q16"

 

You should not have the WideImage files installed publicly. They are part of the Pear Package.

That error you are getting is because klein.php either isn't there, or is being called wrong.

Edit: And make sure you are on apache. .htaccess only works on Apache, not nginx.

 

I use cherokee web server, the php is working. I tested the php info file. Uh, WideImage is linked in Minotar folder. I think its the github misses something. I have installed wideimage by pear, files are present. Why there's no tutorial about this? edocsyl Lucky you, yours works, mine isnt. Can you tell me the procedures how to set it up? Ugh sorry If I dont understanding it, I try what you say, no work.

How I set it up

1. Upload the github conten from Minotar (Or the content from skin.rar) to the root direction from a sub domain.
2. Upload klein.php and wideimage lib (if you use the content from skin.rar you can skip this).
3. Set permissions to chmode 777 for all files and folders.
4. Apache settings (enabled): mod_rewrite, mod_autoindex
5. PHP settings (enabled): imagick module

Download

Hmmm, my hosting company only offers GD lib, but they can't enable imageick on my webserver :/
It's probably that...

 

without this lib it doesn't work
