[FEATURE]: Include icons/textures where relevant #44

Closed ROBOT0-VT closed 2 months ago

ROBOT0-VT commented 3 months ago

What problem is solved?

Developers who use this repository will need an alternate source to retrieve static image data such as booster and planet icons, which would not be updated alongside this repository

What is the solution?

EITHER:

Include an icon parameter containing the serialised image data

OR:

Have a folder with the appropriate icons as a subfolder to the one containing the relevant *.json file

What value does this add?

Easier access for developers making gui-based tools (web applications etc)

Any additional comments?

No response

While I absolutely see the merit, I feel like including copyrighted image data might be pushing legal boundaries I'm not entirely comfortable pushing. @chatterchats thoughts?

chatterchats commented 2 months ago

100% Including copyrighted material is something I'm not comfortable doing. However, should a community pack of custom icons to represent things be made that are copyleft without infringing on HD2's IP wouldn't be the worst idea, should it be made however

we're going to play it safe, I feel including actual textures from the game would be pushing legal limits I'd rather not
