feel like native plugin loading has been in the game for a while, why not native sprite loading?

Don't just "copypaste it into the game," add some proper menu buttons so that you get basic functionality.


>boolean that determines if it loads them on-start or not. Disabled by default but not hard to find in the options menu.
>Path to the folder to load sprites from, so that you can easily pick and choose between one set of sprites or another
>Button to reload the sprites on-the-spot. To my knowledge the options menus don't have a simple button like this but I don't dabble with menus too much and assume the functionality is either simple to add or already there


Do things properly.

i said this in dms earlier but i guess it's worth sharing here that ideally i think it should be handled like say minecraft texture packs or osu skins, scan for zips/directories in a location, then present a list of sprite packs that can be loaded

And I also said this in dms earlier: I'd like something like that too, but when you're running a skeleton crew, you should go with the easiest option first and put stuff like this on the backburner for a future update. It's not a question about whether or not it'd fit in the game, but who would be the one doing it -- for that reason, I think we should go with the basic option first, and look into something a little fancier down the line.


Also, this was discussed around last year in the circlejerk server, but if we add spriteloading, we can add Skele's sprites as a default spritepack. Kills two birds with one stone.
