MySQL is a type of database, it aranges the data into tables so data fecthing is much faster since everything is in cells. Basically it is a "Edexcel" table type database.

Flatfile is the slowest and most inefficient way to store data because everytime you retrieve data from the file you have to scan through each line, so the longer the file the longer it takes to get data so it lags the server more.

Just a general question - why do people prefer mysql? I mean I don't see the benefit. Anyone could explain?

I hope in the next version after your version which comes now you add a mysql support :)

You could add it in the config then to choose what you want (flat,sqlite,mysql) :p

It does not support Hd skins as far as I know because the .png has to fit the normal Minecraft character.

Also yes, if you have a normal MC client then you will just see a steve or possibly your normal skin, this is because Spout is required to use this.

Does this support non-default resolution skins (ie, HD skins?)

And if a player has one of these skins, what does a vanilla player see (the normal skin of the player, or steve?)

Ok so I have gotten a lot of complaints about the skins resetting when a player dies/leaves the game or teleports so I am working on that, also in the new build which I hope to get done this weekend (Please hope :D ).

Features for the new build:

GUI system so you can select your skin graphically (Commands will still be in the game)
SQL integration, most likely SQLite and not MySQL since not all people have MySQL servers.
Fixing major persistence bug :D
Code-clean up
Updating for 1.1-R4 (Possibly R5 if it is out before I release :D )

Thanks for the help but it still doesn't work for me. My group name is 'Thief' for example, and I tried permissions like iskin.group.Thief, iskin.group.thief, iskin .setgroup..... and so on. I even tried it for my admin account that has permission - '*' I just can't make it work :( It doesn't give me any errors. Just doesn't change the skin. Of course players in that group have some iskin skins set already but I understand that the group skin has higher priority, right?

Edit: I managed to set it so that after '/iskin reload' the group skins appear! But after a player leaves and joins again he gets 'steve' skin instead of his group or even his personal iskin skin.

Edit2: Same thing happens when using a portal. The skin is lost and replaced by 'steve'. Again only /iskin reload helps.

Basically you create a group in the config file just like the default "testgroup" you then give this group a skin url. After that you give the group/players you want to have this skin the permission "iskin.group.<group name here>"

I am working on a update but won't release until 1.2 is out since there is still lots of work to do :D

How does the Group Skin suppose to work? I expected it to have a higher priority than players' skin but as far as I can tell this doesn't work at all. It would be great if I could force a certain skin for a group but I can't figure out why this doesn't work. I use PEX. Anyone else having this problem?

Hello, is this also based on mysql? Or is all stored in a textfile? If it is only stored in a textfile I would ask if you can add a mysql support, so we can change the Skins on a Homepage, this would be nice :)

It would be great if you added an option to make a default pleyer's skin (from minecraft.net) a priority on first login. I don't like the fact that every new player has to change his skin to his own on first login.

I suggest that you give the two options, gui and commands, the gui sometimes breaks! And give the option to disable the gui totally.

Nice to hear that in the otherway, if you want you can give me a Build and i will test it :).
