Alert resprite

[Flareguy]

About the PR

Resprites all "status effect" alerts to be more consistent. Does not touch "movement" effects like weightless, stunned, etc.

Why / Balance

Alerts, for the most part, have always been really inconsistent and difficult to understand / parse unless you actually know what they're already telling you. This PR hopefully seeks to rectify that by introducing much better iconography & generally cleaner looking spritework. The yellow warning state of an alert signifies you should be attentive / that the alert will transition in to a dangerous state eventually. A flashing sign indicates you are actively dying / something needs immediate attention.

This also makes the alerts colorblind-friendly for the most part.

Technical details

Changes line 417 in BloodstreamSystem.cs from 10 to 4, so that the 5-level blood alerts actually display without the game crashing.

I dont like the transition on the flashing of the little warning symbol in the corner for each one

[K-Dynamic]

I dont like the transition on the flashing of the little warning symbol in the corner for each one

I don't like it either but I think it's useful since it's easy for less-experienced players to miss the alerts

That or we add a flashing symbol on alert change that goes away after 3 seconds or so

[SpaceRox1244]

In terms of at-a-glance readability, at a glance all of these statuses look like rectangles first. I think side icons are more readable when they have strong silhouettes.

[ScarKy0]

I really liked the bleed one being like a bar of how badly youre bleeding :(

[Doru991]

I think it's a bit hard to tell what the hunger ones actually are at a glance.

[deltanedas]

pressure gauges are hard to read

[Djungelskog2]

I heavily dislike the food/water ones, they just look ugly with the colouring and I cant tell whats on the plate in the food ones.

[lzk228]

new alerts are vice-versa less readable because of a lot of different colors and flashings

[slarticodefast]

Yeah, I agree with the others. These are really hard to read because of all the colors and all icons having the same shape. Before the shape would quickly tell you which status it was at a glance. I would rather go in the other direction, remove the colored background squares where possible and show only the information necessary. A good example for this is the bleeding icon which perfectly shows you the intention behind it as well as the current level.

[muburu]

the atmos alerts that flash on a black background seems very hard to read (a frame of it being pure black is strange)

the hunger icon seems strange to me as it's not immediately readable as food (more plate than food), our current hunger one reads nicely as a cheeseborger which you know is food

the thermostat color should be blue for low temperature since it makes it cartoonishly obvious that it's cold

the fire alert should be more fire than background

[Pumkin69]

i dislike the direction with a lot of these ESPECIALLY the bloodloss one. The current red drop that fills up more and more is WAY WAY WAY more user friendly and easy to assess at a glance. The other ones are too contrasty or hard to understand at a glance.

[ps3moira]

I like most of these changes except for pressure, bleeding, and hunger alerts as those are hard to read and understand what they mean.
