Custom patterns system

[Jonathan Spirit]

I'm sure you all know how you can make your own hats for Ichun's hat mod, upload them to a website, and use them in game, right? Well I propose a system for you to be able to create your own patterns. This could be done by creating two pattern files, one for the first part of the pattern, and another for the second. Or one with two sections. This would enable you to create your own patterns and share them with others. What do you say?

That is something that will be possible in the future. But first of all, if the patterns are simply geometric ones and not very personalised ones, you can just send me a 16x16 png with the pattern in blue and red, and I can implement it easily

[Jonathan Spirit]

I see. But what if, for example, You didn't really like the pattern, and so it wouldn't be suitable for everybody? How, then, would someone add their special pattern? Note that this issue does not imply that I am making anything, just that it would be a nice implementation.

[Alex Binnie]

There will be an easy way to add new patterns implemented in the future, either with an API or using Forge IMC. I will also publish the tool I made to convert red/blue pattern images into the two whitescale textured sprites needed. The reason I resolved this is because it's not a proposal, as it will definitely be implemented in the near future
