The ability to have "nothing" as a vanity option.

When I was playing as a floran, I put a helmet on. I liked my floran look without it, but if i took it off, i'd lose armor. There should be an option to look like you're not wearing anything.

When there is nothing in the vanity slot, it will act like a checkbox. You can click on it, and an x will appear. An x means that you want your armor to appear on your character. Leaving it blank means you want your character to wear nothing in that slot as vanity.

 

I think that it should be a craftable item, like an invisible dye or something, or maybe a craftable machine that can chance the color of itens or make them transparent

 

i like the idea the OP suggested with the checkbox. +1 from me

 

Yes.

 

Ragnarok Online 2 had an option like this (for head only though), and I think more games should follow the example, Starbound included

 

+1. I want to be able to run around as a naked birdie killing everything I see and I can't do that because that makes me squishy and weak.

 

Yeah, I actually wanted to be an avian without clothing.
They're birds.

 

+1 from me as well. Having something you can craft, like a head band to put in the vanity slot would help as well.

 

Nice.

 

This should be for you then, guys.

Chirp!

(that means yes.)

 

Looks nice, thanks

Still would like an option like that to be officially available in-game though

 

Updated my mod a bit because of boredom (waiting for the update...)

Update #1
-Changed icons
-Fixed textures (now shows preview for head, the rest is bugged game wise)

Will try to get some "special" attention this way since this mod adds the ability and would be ready to be fully implemented into the stock game.

 

What do i do with the files after they're downloaded? I've tried moving them everywhere.

 

This should be a vanity item. Many games do this. Invisible dye in Diablo 3, familiar clothes in Terraria, etc.

 

So much this. My character has awesome hair, but I have to wear fugly glasses in my vanity slot to see it >.>
