Job Icons on Nameplates

Created by: Pilzinsel64

To get job icons or a larger icon size there are some steps to do before because of limitations. PR: (comming soon) Refered Issues: https://github.com/r00telement/PlayerTags/issues/8, https://github.com/r00telement/PlayerTags/issues/12

Current behavior and limits:

  • Right now the role icons are placed as string in the text element using IconPayload by a given BitmaFontIcon that does only have role icons.
  • The size of the icons is limited to the current font size of the whole text nameplate element.

What could be done?

  • Step 1:
    • Create a basic public library that includes some code from Player Tags and Party Icons. With this library it is possible to use the logic of the status/job icon from Party Icons within Player Tags.
  • Step 2: Extend the library to include the ability to fully customize the whole nameplate (e.g. by adding own nodes such a Image Node).

Todo:

  • Implement version 1 of the library
  • Integrate the library in Player Tags
  • Implement the job icon feature using the library
  • Extend Config Ui for job icon
  • (Add Config Ui to customize status icon prior list)

Follow-up

  • Extend library to be able to create additional Image Nodes and show the job icon on several positions.
  • Show role icon on a Image Node ("RoleIcons" in IconSets). This will fix the small size.
