hey fellow escapists, let me start off with DONT FLAME THE THREAD, thank you.
good.
now we have that out of the way, i have a question for the more tech savy escapists among you.
namely: i have set up an offline mode minecraft server for over hamachi so i can play on one map with the girlfriend. so far so good. but we are both called player, and will probably both be looking like the generic minecraft guy, or whatever is in the jar that looks like it.
now i read somewhere about memory editors in minecraft that change the clients name, and thus that would solve the name problem. i have also seen a modded client that just has a little bar where a name can be filled in, anyone able to refer me to that, gets a big thanks an a cooky.
now for the harder part though, is there any way so we both have our custom skinns on the offline mod server over hamachi?, there should be a way, since all minecraft should be doing is going 'hey server [name] is here, what does he look like?' so im guessing there is a way to bodge it in, just like you can jsut edit the singleplayer .jar to look like how you want to look when offline ( usefull for when your in the train or bus on a laptop !)
anyway, i eagerly await the escapist's answers.

( also, i said dont flame the thread since people have a tendency to shout GO BUY THE GAME/play online! as soon as someone does something out of the ordinary with minecraft ;/ )

with the name bit if you are using bukkit there is a plugin avalable where you can set a nickname for yourself (not sure if it is a permanent thing though), dunno if that helps.

okey someone figured out how to do the name

make a batch file, put this into it
echo off
java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -cp "%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\*" -Djava.library.path="%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\natives" net.minecraft.client.Minecraft "YOURNAMEHERE"

with YOURNAME HERE being your name. save it, run it, voila you will be called whatever you want :)
it only works on servers withoffline mode ofcoarse.

now onto the skin!, anyone know how to choose your custom skin?
