Left ear slot and headslot changes

Post by Saidas » 22 Jan 2016, 17:35

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): make a left ear usable again for cigarette/pen carrying and create a "holster" feature in your helmet.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It would give marines more customizable appearance. A way to express themselves. No real combat benefit - only pure cosmetic benefit. Currently, if a marine wants to carry a cigarette packet/deck of cards/a piece of paper he would need to sacrifice one of those precious inventory slots in his pockets/backpack. Give us a way to store an ace of spades or a cigarette pack in our helmets and that would be invaluable for RP purposes.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Left ear is currently not used at all. Bring back the code section from b12 that allowed to store there the smallest things - pieces of paper, cigarettes, pens. Additionally it would be nice if dev-team would implement a "holster" feature in each helmet, making it possible to store there little nifty things with an easy access to them.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Nuff said. Left ear slot is kinda cut-off by dev-team (maybe on some purpose, I don't know). Helmet should not be turned into another backpack/webbing/armor. It should work like a holster - single click on it with an appropriate item in active hand would store it there (bonus points for sprite changes!). Another click would get that item from that "holster".

It used to be part of CM before Alpha. It's not a lot to ask for and I can see the benefit to the RP. +1

Oh, yeah.
No idea why it's disabled, anyhow - a cigarette will fit fine behind your ear, for example.
On the topic, a suggestion SIMILAR to this one was already accepted, about smoke packets and helmets.

When the wind whips past your ears
Will you stand when the weight is upon you
Or will you go to your knees in fear?

This is already accepted, but it would be better to make the helmet store them, as you can easily apply overlays to it.
