Prestige Ranks

[RHSvenson]

Short description

Adds cosmetic ranks - with alternate job titles and icons - to Starlight, at the request of the CMB for use with one of their projects.

Put simply, it adds a bit of simple architecture that checks if:

1. A job has any available ranks tied to it
2. If there is any overlap between the Discord role requirements and the player's roles as fetched via NullLink

If so, it changes the JobIcon and Name directly onto the person's ID card, meaning this is purely cosmetic and does not appear in the main menu.

Why we need to add this

It was requested by the CMB for a use which I'm not sure I should discuss openly in a PR :P

Will only affect security to be fair, and it will still be visible on manifest.
Besides, this is purely cosmetic, at least for now.

I'm open to ideas however; though intricacies with JobIcons means that I have to edit all of them manually which is a huge pain in the ass. Still, better to do it right.

Could make it turn the mindshield gold too

Hm... I'd need to implement some sort of component to track this so that it could be properly copied over to Changelings and Paradox clones if that was the case. I'm not entirely sure it's worth it either way, as the visual clarity of someone being mind-shielded probably takes precedence over a purely cosmetic role...

This was actually my original idea - an effect that maybe makes the job icon shimmer or something - but it would not show up on the manifest due to it being a status icon that's purely client-side. Manually doing an animation for every icon, on the other hand, is something I am just too lazy to do, plain and simple. No way it's worth it lol, not to mention we'd have to do it for every subsequent change to them.

This would all be so much easier if I could activate layers on the damned thing.
