Player Preview

Not sure if this resonates with anyone else, but I reckon it'd be alright if there was a picture of your player as you are making it in the "Player" section. Just so that you know if, say, Gold Chains go with Purple pants...

This might help with some mods in which they replace skins, so that you know what your character is going to look like in the new mod. (Thinking of the Quake Mod)

There are already made programs such as Gostek Viewer by Anna or Soldat Mod Mixer by Edak. There's no need of making an ingame preview. Besides, there's not enough room in the Soldat menu.

I like the idea (and it's been suggested a couple of times), but currently, by using external programs to set your colours and preview your Soldat, you get the added benefit of setting skin transparency. ;)

Why not incorporate the skin transparency and color options into the Soldat menu as well?
I fully support this idea and always have.

Do we really want more invisible headed players?

Agreed, transperancy and skin color changing is pretty gay, I say leave it. However the preview would be nice too. Could it allow for custom gosteks too?

I really don't care about the number of invisible head players.

if their heads are invisible... how do you aim for it?  yes, its usually somewhere just above the dude's shoulders, but my point is that it is a cosmetic change that affects gameplay

Unless they have dreadlocks then there's no prob aiming for the head.

if they are smart, they won't pick dreads.

Dreadlocks clearly look the most badass unless you have an invis. head.
