Hi, I'm not an Image Designer nor am I sure this hasn't been brought up before, but I've been thinking about and ability that might be kinda cool for Image Designers.
The idea is that Image Designers are able to create custom emotes for people by combining the existing animations with new text. It could be implemented something like this.
/Setemotename - You type in the name of the new emote you want.
/Setemoteanimation - Here you choose from the list of existing animations you want to play with the new text. You can already see what emotes are animated by typing /socials, and checking which ones have the *asterisk next to the name.
/Setemotetext - Type in the new text you want to be displayed over your head when you perform the animation.
/Transferemote - some sort of command that allows you to transfer the new emote to your customer.
I realize that one can kind of already do this by using macros, but the problem is you get both the original text and your new text displayed above your head, which can be annoying and/or out of context.
Its just a thought and maybe you guys don't think it would be worth it but I know I would pay for a few new emotes.

Hmm, neat idea.
Of course, when I first read the topic I had read it as "Custom Holo-emotes", which could also be potentially fun [as an additional feature/idea]. Same general concept, custom name, and have the ID select a number of holoemotes to tie together for a sort of "mini-Entertainer Droid" presentation/cycle. I'd hope for a simultaneous display option, but I fear that simultaneous may be too much for the Lower-Bound computers to handle

I like this idea.
Simple, and all the UI resources are already there for the most part.
