This is a tutorial on how to set up a site to host skins and capes for my Machinima mod.
1. Get an account with 000webhost, and register a subdomain. You can technically use any webhost which allows you to edit .htaccess, but this tutorial assumes that you're using them. Also, I get $5 for every account that uses that link to sign up and stays onboard for a month!
2. Open the File Manager for your website. Go to public_html.
3. Delete "default.php", or whatever it happens to be called.
4. Create two new folders. Call them "MinecraftSkins" and "MinecraftCloaks" (no quotes!). Make sure that you get the capitalization right!
5. Open ".htaccess" and erase its contents (yes, I know it says to not remove!). Replace them with this.
Your website is now set up! To test it out, open the config file for the machinima mod and replace "s3.amazonaws.com" with the name of your new website. Make sure that skins work. If everybody looks like Steve?, you did something wrong. If you can't get it to work, try PMing me.
Now you need to add skins and capes! It's fairly straightforward.
1. Create the skin or cape, then name it after the account (make sure to get the capitalization right!). So to add a skin for FakeAccount, name the skin FakeAccount.png (same for a cape).
2. Upload it to your site in the proper directory. So put it in MinecraftSkins for a skin, or MinecraftCloaks for a cape.
3. Open up .htaccess and add a line. For skins, add:
RewriteCond $1 !(MinecraftSkins/playername.png)
or for capes, add
RewriteCond $1 !(MinecraftCloaks/playername.png)
You need to put it before the "RewriteRule" line. For example. after adding a skin and a cape for FakeAccount, the file would look like this.
4. Save and exit! Your skin/cape should show up for anybody with the mod who has put your website into their config file!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Because this site will only be used for Minecraft, it will not register any hits! Therefore, every month or so, 000webhost WILL AUTOMATICALLY ATTEMPT TO REMOVE IT. When they do this, you will have ONE WEEK TO PREVENT IT. Make sure to check the email you registered with regularly to prevent this!
If you have any trouble with any of this, feel free to PM me!

You CAN host the files on your computer, but unless you use Apache, I have no idea how to configure it to forward to amazon. Worth a try I suppose? Maybe other servers also support .htaccess?
Nah. Prolly not. XP
Yeah i did find instructions on how to set up a web server to allow me to host the files
[Guide]LAN Skins for private servers!(1.7.3/1.8.1)No crack! No online dependency! - RaGEZONE forums
but this would mean i have to run yet another program on my slow computer to acomplish this.
Maybe someone will make a mod for the minecraft server at somepoint that along with your mod will acomplish this.
Also i did some playing around a figured out i can post the skins to my
photobucket account and put the address into your mod and it works.
Guess my group will have to relocate to my place for now to use the
internet.
On photobucket: I suppose that would work, but there's just one problem with that...
Skins that you haven't uploaded won't work. :O
