Job Icons on Nameplates

[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:

• [x] Implement version 1 of the library
• [x] Integrate the library in Player Tags
• [x] Implement the job icon feature using the library
• [x] Extend Config Ui for job icon
• [x] (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.

Since implementing this features would include a lot of stuff and code from PartyIcons, I will stop working on this here. Probably I will continue somewhen in the future and then use PartyIcons as addon.

But feel free to open a Pull Request, if you have too much time and want it finsihed soon. :D

Instead I made a description how to basic combine this plugin with PartyIcons. https://github.com/Pilzinsel64/PlayerTags/blob/main/PlayerTags/Documentation/How%20To%20-%20Combine%20with%20PartyIcons.md

It'd be cool if the glowing gold Job/class icons could be implemented. I mainly used those from PartyIcons, but the issue with that plugin is that it'll block regular icons like the AFK/Busy/Cutscene. So I opted to use this plugin instead, cause it's simple/clean and doesn't block the regular icons. Took some getting used to text, but it's nice.

But if the icons are ever looked into again, the ingame Icon IDs for the glowing class/job icons are:

062301 - Gladiator 062302 - Pugilist 062303 - Marauder 062304 - Lancer 062305 - Archer 062306 - Conjurer 062307 - Thaumaturge 062308 - Arcanist 062309 - Rogue 062310 - Carpenter 062311 - Blacksmith 062312 - Armorer 062313 - Goldsmith 062314 - Leatherworker 062315 - Weaver 062316 - Alchemist 062317 - Culinarian 062318 - Miner 062319 - Botanist 062320 - Fisher 062401 - Paladin 062402 - Monk 062403 - Warrior 062404 - Dragoon 062405 - Bard 062406 - White Mage 062407 - Black Mage 062408 - Summoner 062409 - Scholar 062410 - Ninja 062411 - Machinist 062412 - Dark Knight 062413 - Astrologian 062414 - Samurai 062415 - Red Mage 062416 - Blue Mage 062417 - Gunbreaker 062418 - Dancer 062419 - Reaper 062420 - Sage

Thanks @Jacien I did see them in PartyIcons too. Will use them when needed. ;) The problem is that I can't put normal icons into a text. I can only use icons that are within this enum, so they are available as Font to be used in texts. That's why there are only role icons atm and why PartyIcons displays the icon on the place of the status icon (because it's the place for real icons in the nameplate).

There seems things possible that I thought that are not. Will investigate a bit time for checking that out. https://discord.com/channels/581875019861328007/653504487352303619/1017686190113169419
