Building grid UI could skip open yard tiles

[sprunk]

Consider this 5x5 yardmap:

yyoyy
yoooy
ooooo
yoooy
yyoyy

Right now placement GUI looks like this:

Which is slightly confusing since the corners overlap. The request is to give the option to only render the "real" tiles:

Remarks:

• this should be an option, the default should remain to render the full rectangle as-is
• i'm not sure if there are other fully ignored yardmap tiles like y, check and handle them as well
• i'm not specifying how to enable the option (springsetting? modrule? some lua callin/callout?), your choice

Wouldn't it be better to allow game developers to create their own Grid UI instead of having the engine providing one?

Yes, that would be the Lua callin/callout route.
