Recorded player damage help

[copyPastaForLife]

I have seen some other posts about this and got confused in the way it works

i am using mocap to record scenes for mini machinimas because i dont got friends or anyone who plays minecraft to give me a hand
So basically i am alone

So the way i thought mocap pvp for recorded entity works is
I have to hit or fight with it during recording
Which isnt possible cus i am Alone.. if theres any way to possibly hit Player entity to be specific in the playback mode?

And i also have few doubts about projectiles? Like trident with channeling or a special command block which lets any trident once impacted on the ground to automatically summon a lightning. They both dont work in the playback versions. Is this intentional? or a bug?
I recorded with both of them and only during recording i saw the lightning

IF you can help me find a way to pvp with playback please do reply :> thanks xoxo

You can record tridents by enabling recording (tracking) of all entities. On 1.3.8/9 set trackOtherEntities to true, on 1.4-alpha-8 set track_entities to *. Note that they glitch after hitting block so it works partially. From what i've now checked recording of lightnings (at least on latest alpha) is broken, so i'll fix that. As for recording PVP. On latest alpha you can disable invulnerable_playback setting and that way be able to hit players in the playback, but they don't receive knockback and for now they cannot hit you. So you can record fight scenes to some degree with help of replaymod and a lot of cuts and montage.

Yes i found out a way to record pvp scene
But i didnt know about invulnerable playback
What i did do was record me getting damaged by a zombie
replays and cuts yes thats what i slowly adapted to.
Then predict when that recorded player is gonna take KB and then i swing my sword, Its so hard to replicate all the time my mind gets like F'ed up fr

And about skin, i use cracked mc, and i am not sure if thats part of the problem but my launcher supports skin and i want my current skin to be showcased via the third way to show skin, i think by playername or player or smth
So i put up my skin but every time its just steve or alex

Version 1.21.1, updated the mocap cus i saw theres a new alpha for the same version
Using simply optifine 1.21.1

So skins a bit of a problem

And i also need a bit of help in skin_from_file Please help me on that aswell
I am just waiting when you can hit the playback character
Why cant you take some like code or smth from the mchorse's blockbuster
i think in that you can hit recorded entities or make AI stuff.

PLEASE REPLY XOXO

As i said you can hit players in the playback by disabling invulnerable_playback. As for skins, I would recommend you using skins from mineskin where you can upload your own skins. Also if you're using tlauncher it adds skin mod that doesn't work well with mocap, so either disable this mod (if possible) or change launcher.

btw, what r you future motivs now?
anything relation with playback entities being able to hit you etc etc

ALSO I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION
why do i need to have operator to use mocap? why cant i use it on a server where i am not an operator
its kinda been my plan to record inside of my fav smp but i need some certain perms to accesss is it toggleable?

[mt1006]

For final 1.4 i want to add API, create compatibility mod for recording emotecraft on mocap, maybe fix playback of entities after player joins mid-playback, maybe fix recording between dimensions and maybe add ability for players in the playback to hit you. As for second question, it's because it's server side mod, so mod needs to be installed on the server and you have to have op to use it because it can be used to e.g. duplicate blocks

[copyPastaForLife]

you can make it a client side mod, and remove the duping capabilities

[mt1006]

there are client side mods for recording mc, e.g. replaymod, flashback

[copyPastaForLife]

no like making mocap a client sided mod seems the thing because what does it even do server side

[mt1006]

It does almost everything on a server. Players, entities and actions happen on a server. Flashback and Replaymod work by recording actions on a server (either integrated or dedicated) from the perspective of a client and then they launch integrated server when you want to watch recording. Mocap is just different and it allows to do things not possible on these two other mods, like making your playbacks actually interact with your world.

okay got it, please do tell me when you have fixed or made KB to attack playback entities(players specificially)
