Suggestion: Individual Player skins

[MegaDeuce]

In WWI, pilots would paint their airplanes distinctive colors so they could recognize each other in the air. Each pilot had his own design, and when you saw a bright red tri-plane you knew it was the Red Baron, and that you were gonna die soon. I think if players could use their own skins, and had to keep team colors on their uniform somewhere, it'd add alot to the game...

Imagine if you made an awesome player skin, and everyone else on a server could see it?

Hell, imagine if YOBA always had his own distinctive camouflage, then when you were sniping against him there'd be this extra psychological effect of knowing he was such a good shooter. I think that sort of thing could add ALOT OF FUN to matches :)

Of course, there should be an option to disable it in the client config file, for people who prefer the old school look.

What do you guys think?

Oh comeone.
That means we have to download each guys in a AoS server model ?

yea,although it sounds like a good idea--
no, its not a good idea
many computers cant handle simple modding such as scopes,and having a flashing rainbow skin--

it wouldnt be good as Ben kept the idea of modding both teams skins into 1 as if we all had different skins then we would all be confused where to shoot,and it would also enhance spotters and they would say "Deuce is on the roof"
as you would be able to see his skin.

Overall its a bad idea, and this is getting usless,Please lock this thread

I think we should add it to the DO NOT SUGGEST list.

Two seperate team colors would be cooler.

Or if team colors ran on a colorscale type of thing, it use the skin closest to the specified one.

So if there was the green team and someone hosted a dark green team, green is the closest, so it'd use it's specified design. Pretty simple and it'd be nice to have two separate teams like Allies and Axis or Generic Army and Terrorists. It'd give the game a better feel.

I like the idea of everyone having a unique player model. At least have two models, one for each team. Imagine Zombies actually being Zombies in Zombie mode.

So you wanna see my penis skin... *unzips* ;)

I kinda like the idea of small custom differences.
There needs to be severe restrictions, like team colour and that you can't remove all your voxels so you couldn't be invisible. :D

[MegaDeuce]

Thanks danhezee and Tek2 :)

Yeah you'd have to require skins to have at least some "team color" voxels on the arms, the head, the body, etc, other-wise you'd see people wearing the other team's default uniform just to confuse people. (Most mods have "team color" voxels on them somewhere, I think.)

It'd also be a good way to tell Deuces from experienced players, since 99% of new players would have the default skin.

So essentially like Minecraft?

[apfel3000]

No...i mean i running over the battlefield see some guys with very cool skins and then i see a kiddy with a penis skin...NO enough said.

[HoboHob]

Yes this should be added in, I really want this.

BUT: There needs to be an option to turn this off.

[shrugzeestorey]

u should be able to customize but have a stripe on ur shirt for the team color

[jlordo]

It would be cool but I can imagine someone running around with these skins without the leaves over their...parts. >_<

that would be pretty cool. i had some sort of idea about an hour ago where you could have two guys fighting each other with spades that were modded to be lightsabers and one guy was Sith and the other guy was Jedi lol. and oh god Y.O.B.A... i haven't seen that guy in ages. hopefully he doesn't pop out in my dreams and crush them again ;__;

[USABxGUNSLINGER]

This is an awesome idea, I wub it
