Image sprites in the new HUD

[Indomitus 388]

First I want to say I'm really enjoying the new HUD so far.  I've started reworking a couple of my work-in-progress game modes with it to make the UI look so much better.

The selection of sprites seems a little light, though.  There are a few repeats in the list (hearts appear twice) and while designing my UI, I noticed a couple of general concepts not represented.  I'm sure there are plans to add more; I just wanted to start this thread for any specific requests I or other creators might have.

1.  "Clock/timer" - something to indicate a timer or clock image

2.  "Feather/Wings/Bird" - something to indicate flight or the ability to fly

3.  something to indicate speed or a speed boost/buff

4.  images that could represent each of the basic character actions, such as digging, jumping, or crafting

Cool suggestions, cheers ? I'll pass them on and we'll see, what we can do.

So I'm told a lot more sprites are in the process of being added in the future and definitely by update 0.15 ?

Some sprites suggestions...

Animal heads: wolf, rabbit, etc

Potion, Wood, Hammer, Arrows, Bow,

Can you also make them vector images to prevent them from blurring when you enlarge the images?

I think theirs some problem with memory on that front, but I'll ask.

The new system is great, you can do very good things.
But if some things are missing.
* full circle figure without blur
* be able to scale grouped images all at once
* an item like a scrol bar list can be very useful too

Thanks

And one more thing would it also be possible to add a feature to rotate the sprites?

[Fompster 141]

Another useful sprite will be something that blurs the background

What about the ability to upload, or link, our own images/sprites?

Obviously, I'm aware that some people will take advantage of that, and upload, or link to, less than savory images.
But, that's what the report button is for, right?

I do believe the pros outweighs the cons.

I mean, there's a reason you can pretty much upload your avatar to pretty much any community site, right?
Even this forum. In fact, looks like I could upload anything I wanted to.

Just as a reference point, if someone where to use that argument to not let us add our own sprites.

Considering the abuses we see in regular online play, I think you're underestimating the ways that would be abused.

The people who are on this forum are a small and relatively mature part of the overall player base, especially now that the game is a full release and is free to play.  The two are not really comparable.

Any news on this? I would love more sprites...

Especially to be able to rotate sprites at an angles

The UI guys are telling me adding new sprites is very taxing and adds a lot to the memory build-up, but when we have less big feature things to push in updates, I'll try and lobby for this properly ?

[Indomitus 388]

Could we at least push for a special widget to allow us to display entity icons?  (I'm pretty sure this was already requested elsewhere, though I can't remember where.)  Those images are already in the game, and it would be nice to be able to add them to a custom HUD or window.  Add a tile to set the image through script (using the Entity Type enumerator) and we could do a lot with that.
