Connected Canister Overlay - aft2001 - 02-13-2019

As someone suggested, there should be a visual indication that a canister is connected to a port, so I made a simple overlay sprite for said canisters for when they're connected. Since I can't run BYOND on school computers, the sprite is in .png format (sorry haine). I would've made a sprite sheet for all possible states of a canister with the overlay attached, but I only had access to the basic sprites for canisters, so an overlay it is!

This seemed nice. It's a simple add so I thought I'd make a patch to add it in. It looks pretty good on the regular canisters, but It kinda feels a bit like the tube is going off into the floor tiles. Maybe those square connection ports that you wrench canisters into could use a sprite update as well?

Also, when I was doing it I thought it would make sense so that all those types of objects can have that new connection tube overlay. The air pumps and air scrubbers. Those don't really fit with the sprite you made, could you make more sprites for them?
