Title: Added a caped player model, 

Which works like the hat layer, when the area for the cape (a 8x12 set of pixels) which is to
the right of the arm texture, is given a non-alpha or semi-alpha pixel,
it will display ingame, similar to the hat layer on the player's head.

An example for this is this:

and these are the ingame result:
