Pixel offset support for /image in BYOND Discussion

As the topic suggests please add pixel_x/y support for /image types.

My reasoning:
If i put the text on turfs, then i have no offset anyway and then cant adjust it to fit the background.
If i put it on an object(which has pixel offset support) then i have to make multiple objects to support all of the text.

Either way i'm at a disadvantage(The game is filled with items and many things and i rather have a more "ethical" solution than willingly heading towards the list limit.)

Note: If you're wondering how i'm fitting more than one text per object is that i have multiple letters for each direction(such as 1000,0100,0010,0001).

They already have pixel_x and pixel_y vars.

Nope. From the DM guide:

Format:
image(icon,loc,icon_state,layer,dir)

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but check out this page from the reference.

From what I can see, /image already has pixel_y and pixel_x for offsets, your format is from the image() proc.
