Armor Textures

BlockLauncher offers support for custom armor textures: here's how it works. (yeah I know it's kinda sketchy)

bool bl_setArmorTexture(int, std::string const&);
// you should use the above, but if you really need it:
bool bl_setArmorTexture(int, mce::TexturePtr*);

void init() {
	Item* orangePeel = new ArmorItem("orangePeel", 3777 - 0x100, *(static_cast<ArmorItem*>(Item::mItems[310])->armorMaterial),
		42 /* special render type */, (ArmorSlot)0);
	if (!bl_setArmorTexture(3777, "mob/zombie.png")) {
		// failed to set armor texture :(
	}
}

For a sample addon that defines an armor item, see https://github.com/zhuowei/MCPELauncher-addons/commit/9bd9bac5d7d1f4abe97f3b28779b30e696d2923a

Thanks to @jose-vm for the suggestion.
