SS14 Sprite Rendering
Resources
- Put new SS14-ART-CORE textures under
Resources/Textures/_Art.
- Keep RSI
meta.json ordered and formatted.
- Preserve license and copyright metadata.
- Use
SpriteSpecifier for configurable sprite fields.
Visuals
- Prefer
AppearanceComponent plus GenericVisualizer for data-driven visuals.
- Port old appearance visualizers by separating data from logic, ECS-ifying state, and using prototypes where possible.
- Keep overlays/shaders client-side unless shared data is needed.
- Do not hardcode sprite states in gameplay systems when a data field/prototype can configure them.
