Since august, I have been working on new in_hands for a good part of the items in our beloved game (you can find the PR here: New "in_hands" and "onmob" icon sprites for objects, book import from PVE (thanks Amory), small changes and fixes by LC4492 · Pull Request #6951 · cmss13-devs/cmss13 · GitHub), and, because of such, I want to hear our dear community about ideas for items that need in_hands and have escaped my attention.
In_hands are onmob versions of the items you see in full scale on floors, menus and in your UI, and they are made to improve the game’s graphical quality and make it more alive and unique. Below, you can find an example for an in_hand (the ceremonial Saber) and onmob (the Saber’s scabbard). Just as a reminder, in_hands are also onmobs, but they are a specific category:
With the explanation given to the ones that have no experience with such things (you should thank god for that) I put down below a full list of all items currently included on the PR (I will add more to the list here periodically):
